Multisession, I think you have to use an iso filesystem for that.

thanks but I'd already checked those files. There's
something else a bit more subtle than that wrong.

Its bzip & bzip2 offer better compression over gzip. You should have a
uncompression program for this, but I don't remember its name. Perhaps
bunzip or some thing, I am not a my box to look. After uncompressing it
just untar it (or pipe the output from bunzip (if that is the name) to tar.

make sure insmod used the correct videodev.o file.
So far I know it will look default in /lib/modules/2.2.5/misc/videodev.o
Did you do a 'make install' ?

Except that the employer never put a gun to your head and demand that
you work or go to a gulag, or starve or die. You are locked in your
cubical like a prisoner in a cell, or a "citizen" suffering under the
"dictorship of the prolitariate". More than likely you asked for the
job. If you don't like it, leave. Stop whining about something you can
change.

Wow, what a compassionate individual you are... You heart just bleeds
for them and you feel their pain, don't you? And if the track record
of your socialist (Marxist, communists - choose your 'ist') idols are
any measure, the result will be to reduce the entire population to
welfare status, begging for work from the State, and standing in long
lines hours basic necessities, waiting years for a private apartment.
Forget cars, or even bikes. As the oppressed Russians used to say: "We
pretend to work and the government pretends to pay us". And, isn't it
just like a Socialist to impune opponents with a bogus eugenics argument
when in fact they were the ones during the first half of the twentith
century promoting the idea, which is why Margret Sanger pushed for birth
control pills - to control populations in the 3rd world countries.
In South Africa the communists use to promote aparthid because they
thought that it was a route to power. When that didn't work they jumped
onto Mandella's bandwagon, but he dumped them and his stooge wife after
he came to power.
Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Kim Sung, Pal Pot, ... the list is long, but the
techniques are the same: exploite some "miscarriage" of justice,
agitate, agi-prop, instigate, bomb, kidnap, murder, libel, anything at
all to destabilize a government. Then take over and rule through the
power of a gun and control the media. Give the populace an enemy,
someone to blame for their troubles, but never give them the free access
to truthful information that freedom of choice and democracy requires to
support liberty.
Hypocrites.
It's not hard to understand why so many risked imprisonment, and even
their lives sneeking through mined fields, across barbed wire and over
concrete walls, to escape from the east Berlin to the west Berlin. You
can always tell where freedom lives by looking at the direction the
footsteps taking. The masses don't voluntarily walk from a better life
to a worse one.
The evidence has been right in front of your eyes for decades but you,
blinded by idology, never see it. Those roads go both ways. If living
in western democracies is so burdensome then you can always start
walking the other way. No need to stay in the midst of all this
oppression. I'm sure the boats that brought the Cuban refugees to
Florida will work equally well at taking you back to Cuba.

[ Newsgroups: uk.comp.os.linux ]
[ Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ]
I've downloaded LxDoom, the doomwad and boomlump.wad, but now, after
following all the instructions, I am totally stumped.
Both lsdoom and lxdoom report the same errors.
Without boomlump.wad, it complains
W_GetNumForName: ?BBRICK Bot found!
(Replace the ? with the correct letter, I forget...)
:)
WITH the boomlump.wad installed in the same directory, it seems to get a
little further and then halts with
You cannot -file with the shareware version, Register!
So... Has ANYHONE got the unregistered version of lx or lsdoom working?
If so, what am I missing?
Help! PLEASE? It's been a pain downloading all this stuff only to find it
doesney werk! :)
Also, has anyone succeeded in getting Pingus (The lemmings-alike) working?

You're only about the fifth RedHatter to come in without reading
the thread, and suggest what was already tried in the first place.
All your suggestion does is fix some screen redrawing problems
when switching or minimizing windows. It does nothing about
Netscape freezing, closing itself or spawning dozens of error
windows intermittently on java.

Subject: Max files sizes under ext2?
Date: Sat, 07 Aug 1999 23:30:40 GMT
Hi,
I have a problem - I am trying to back the rest of my network (2 Win98 &
and NT server) up to my linux box.
The problem seems to occur when the size of the backup file on the linux
backup drive exceeds 2G - Win98 backup fails with a 'reached media
capacity' error and NT backup just quits!
Is there a max size of a file under ext2? I am running kernel 2.0.36 on a
RH 5.1 box and something like 12G of free space on the backup partition.
I have tried adjusting the /proc/sys/kernel/inode-max parameter but that
did not seem to make much difference...
Cheers,
Phil.

Subject: New @ Kernal Compiling - Have Error, Don't Know What To Do
Date: Sat, 07 Aug 1999 23:00:47 GMT
Hello.
I've givin my first try at compiling a kernel on my RedHat 5.2 OS and
I've run into a problem, and can't figure out what do do or look for.
First off, I'm recompiling it because when I try to run mt PPP-ON
script from the console, it says I don't have the PPP module compiled
into my kernel (although I can connect to my ISP just fine within
X)... So I followed the instructions in my RH5.2 manual on recompiling
a kernel.
I went through 'make menuconfig' just fine and have everything setup
correctly as far as I know, and I can run 'make dep | make clean' just
fine. But when I try to run 'make boot' it gives me an error when
finished as follows:
a /usr/src/linux-2.0.36/arch/i386/lib/lib.a -o vmlinux
init/main.o(.data+0x138): undefined reference to sound_setup'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
=) I'm taking wild guess here, but I figure there's something wrong w/
my sound.. But I just don't know what to look for. Is there any
other info I need to give so that someone may be able to help me w/
this?
I do know that a new kernel isn't placed in the
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/ dir so I'm still running off the one I
installed RH with.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Maybe one day I'll understand Linux configuring a little better.. =)

This has been entertaining. But Steve is right on this point. I have
had PMMail/2 mail for years now.
When you create a new account, it makes new mailboxes for that
account. No filters needed for it to work.
I have 7 accounts on mine ,each with there own inbox, outbox, drafts,
sent mail, and trash. Some accounts
have heavy filters and lots of extra sub boxes. Others have none.
Once every 6 months, I use the filters to
dump the old emails (I never delete anything) into a AskSam database.
Handy if I need a email from 1995.
