If you installed the package called "switchdesk", you can simply type
this at a console and you'll be given the opportunity to choose.
Also, if you use gdm to log in, this lets you choose which desktop
environment to start. (I don't know if kdm offers the same facilities).

I am running SuSE-6.1 distro on my AMD K6-2 400 MHz with a 4D+Scrolling
mouse. The mouse has 4 button and 2 wheels. Recently, I have downloaded
and compiled a copy of XFree86-3.3.4 and installed on my machine. I set
"ZAxisMapping X" to activate the wheels. It certainly moves the mouse
whenever I scroll either wheel. However, what I want is to be able to use
the wheel of the mouse to scroll the page up/down on any windows, not to
move the mouse pointer. Does anyone know what do I need to do to make the
wheel to work as I want?

Copy the System.map file from /usr/src/linux (where you installed the source
code) to /boot. That should fix the errors.

We simply tar up the drive and pipe the output back through tar to either
another HD connected to the same system or use rsh to send it to a remote
system.
Then all you have to do is boot to a floppy and put "mount root=/dev/hda1"
(or whatever your boot partition is) at the "boot:" prompt. Once the system
is booted, run LILO to resintall lilo into the boot sector. You could also
just boot directly to a floppy without the "mount ..." command and then just
mount the hard drive on /mnt and do "lilo -r /mnt" to tell it to chroot to
/mnt before running lilo.

I have a 100Mhz 486 box I'm using as a firewall for my home computing
environment. Connected to this box I have a 3Com Impact IQ ISDN modem
capable of running multilink PPP. When I use the modem on a MS Windows
machine everything works, so I know my ISP is capable of handling
multilink though this modem. On my firewall box (Red Hat Linux 5.2) only
a single link (one data channel) will work. If I try multilink and tail
the /var/log/ppp-log, I get the following messages:
...
...
..: Serial connection established.
..: Using interface ppp0
..: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
..: Remote message:

..: Connection Terminated.

I've tried everything I can think of :) including diffrent motherboards
and high speed comm ports. At this point I belive it is my software
configuration.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You can do it the easy way...from a terminal window, write "switchdesk"

YOu don't know if it's the same problem. A kernel lock up is a manifestation
of just about anything, from bad hardware to a bug.
I don't think that it was a console lockup because the guy wasn't able to
remotely log into the machine.
Unfortunately, when you are running X and the system keels over, you do not see
any last minute messages that may have been sent to the console.
The thing to do is to try to recover the filesystem, and then have a look at
the system log to see if there were any messages related to failing hardware,
notably the disk controller or drive.
Another thing I would do is have the computer looked at with diagnostic tools
to see if the hardware is okay; memory, motherboard, CPU, etc. Particularly
if this problem recurs. Usually a crashing Linux is sign of bad hardware.
I would find out nevertheless if there are any known issues in the drivers
that I'm using or the kernel version.

The reason is precisely so that we don't have to put -lm on the
command line.

Utterly. If we want to call printf, we #include <stdio.h>,
and the default compilation works. If we want to call strcmp,
we #include <string.h>, and the default compilation works.
If we want to call malloc, we #include <stdlib.h>, and the
default compilation works. If we want to call sqrt, we
#include <math.h>, and the default compilation fails.
Why should this be?

What would it mean? "Link any needed functions from the
Standard C Library"? That would make a certain amount of sense,
but it's a silly thing to have to specify explicitly, and it's
not what -lc means today. "Link any needed functions from the
Standard C Library, minus the ones declared in <math.h>, plus
all of the Unix system calls for low-level I/O, networking,
memory management, etc."? That's what's in /lib/libc.a on a
conventional Unix or Linux system, and it's obviously an absurd
definition. Why single the functions in <math.h> out for
exclusion in this way? In either case, no, it would not be
"more consistent" to require an explicit -lc on the command line.
I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, because everyone who's
been programming under Unix for a while knows to use -lm when
necessary. But countless beginning programmers get burned by
this situation every day, and it's absolutely unnecessary.
I teach a beginning C class, and in every problem set that uses
a math function, I have to say "If you're using Unix, remember to
use -lm on the command line when compiling", and it still isn't
enough; virtually every quarter I get a student asking why the
linker said that _sqrt was undefined.
Now don't say, "Oh, Steve's just being lazy, he wants the whole
world to change so he doesn't have to put up with his students
who can't read simple instructions." The main reason I teach
that class is so that I can learn what programming is like when
it's hard and you're first learning it, since it's otherwise
impossible to understand that when you've been programming long
enough that, say, typing -lm on the cc command line under Unix is
automatic. I've learned a lot this way, and one of the things
I've learned is that pointless inconsistencies like these are
ruinous. (Gerald Weinberg also has quite a bit to say about
this.)

Subject: Which flavor of Linux to use?
Date: Wed, 28 Jul 1999 13:16:31 -0700
Hi there.
I'm hoping to set up a dual-boot system, NT and some flavor of
Linux/PC-unix yet to be decided. I was hoping some of you might have a
suggestion as to which variety would most likely lead to success.
Hardware:
using an Intel DK440LX motherboard, 512M, 2 SCSI i/f, 2 P2-300, 66MHz
FSB, AGP video, RAID slot (probably won't use it tho).
The proposed goal of this system is to experiment with commercial ECAD
tools as they become available on Linux, providing a more reliable,
low-cost alternative to NT as an in-house engineering environment.
Possible barriers are the stability of Linux video drivers, the bizarre
SCSI BIOS on the motherboard, and the prevailing corporate wind from
Micro$oft.
I'd like a well-supported PC-unix that takes appropriate advantage of
multiple processors and coexists peacefully in dual-boot. So far I'm
leaning towards Solaris x86 or SCO. Any thoughts?

an all in one package, with some utils on the side
the second is a more traditional stack with separates daemons, utils,

Subject: keeping dialup clocks about right?
Date: Wed, 28 Jul 1999 22:27:27 +0100
There seems to be a host of separate utilities to help keep an i386
Linux system at the right time.
1) For a permanently networked computer, xntpd is a great choice.
2) For a PC that is turned on for only a few hours a day and connected
to the Internet for less than that, the utilities seem spread all over
the place. I want a utility that I can run all the time which corrects
both the system and hardware clocks.
The currently available software includes:
a) ntpdate - great for setting the system clock accurately - no trace of
corrections.
b) ajdtimex - great for trimming system clock frequency.
c) hwclock - helps correct for hardware clock drift while PC is off.
Unless anyone can come up with a utility that does it all, I shall write
a daemon that:
1) Uses a choice of SNTP or ICMP 13 protocols to get accurate time from
the network when it is available (callable from PPP connect).
2) Maintains a sliding average of system clock frequency
(calling adjtimex() function to update kernel).
3) Maintains a sliding average of hardware clock frequency.
4) Periodically updates the hardware clock.
5) Adjusts system time from hardware clock at bootup
(similar to hwclock --adjust).
Anyone interested?

Andy Robb.

No. Linux knows all about EZ-Drive, and works around it.
I wrote Lilo mini-HOWTO before that happened. The next rev will
describe the EZ-Drive installation a little.
EZ-Drive occupies the beginning of the drive. *Everything* that looks
at the drive has to understand where EZ-Drive is, and accomodate
it. But Lilo never looks at the drive! The lilo installer gets disk
geometry from the Linux kernel, and the LILO boot loaders use that
geometry and ask the BIOS to do things to the disk. So if your BIOS
understands EZ-Drive, Lilo (both parts) will work.

It took me some experimentation. First, install EZ-Drive on the bare drive
per its instructions.
Then use a Linux rescue diskette to run cfdisk or fdisk and partition the
drive. Then install the Microsoft product, if any.
Then install Linux, but do not let the installation install LILO.
Get it all working, with Linux booting from the boot floppy the installation
makes, or a "raw" bootimage (bzImage) floppy with the kernel you compiled
after installing.
Make sure you can boot your Microsoft product with *its* boot diskette.
Finally, edit /etc/lilo.conf yourself. Read the lilo.conf(5) and
lilo(8) manpages and the User Guide.
(See http://judi.greens.org/lilo/.) Do not trust Red Hat or Debian or
Caldera or Slackware to do this correctly for you. Verify that the
disk geometry you describe in lilo.conf matches that which is reported by
cfdisk. *then*, and not before, run /sbin/lilo.

MS does no make Linux. Probably will never even have a distribution of their
own either.
I use SlackWare and have been very happy with it. There are a number of
other distribution out there which have a lot to offer also. It all has to
do with what you want (and what to do with it).

The version of PM that comes with Caldera (and the McMillian version of
Mandrake) can only be used to install a Linux partition on a system with
Win9x. It's a stripped down version 4.x.
COL 2.2 comes with about a dozen or so themes for KDE and you can download
more from www.kdethemes.org.
