Date: Sun, 08 Aug 1999 19:30:40 GMT
Hi all,
I'm running Slakware 4.0 and have compiled my Kernel to include PnP
support.
I can't get my Pace 56 internal PnP modem to work. This is NOT a win
modem.
I also can't get my Creative Sound blaster 16 PnP to work
Do I still need to be using isapnp or setserial despite having a PnP
OS
Do I need now to enable PnP OS option in my BIOS (doesn't seem to help
if I do)?
Would life be easier if I took out the PnP support from my kernel and
used ISAPNP instead ?
Is there any documentation anywhere about the implications of using a
PnP kernel ? for instance are the Modem-Howto and other documents
still relevant ?
Any help for this relative newbie would be very much appreciated.
Kevin

Which demonstrates that the padding follows the last member of that
struct. Each of the char members are allowed to be aligned in one
byte increments with no padding between. The initial member must
be at the same address as the struct (offset zero), hence the struct
itself must be properly aligned for the 4 byte time_t member that
is first. The padding is added to allow an array of structs to
be declared.
Here is the appropriate text from the Standard, Section 6.5.2.1:
"Each non-bit-field member of a structure or union object is
aligned in an implmementation-defined manner appropriate to
its type.
Within a structure opbject, the non-bit-field members and
the units in which bit-fields reside have addresses that
increase in the order in which they are declared. A pointer
to a structure object, suitably converted, points to its
initial member (or if that member is a bit-field, then to
the unt in which it resides), and vice versa. There may
therefore be unnamed padding within a structure object,
but not at its beginning, as necessary to achieve the
appropriate alignment.
The size of a union ...
There may also be unnamed padding at the end of a structure
or union, as necessary to achieve the appropriate alignment
were the structure or union to be an element of an array."
A pretty concise statement that exactly fits your situation!

I don't think this would be the case if you are using a SCSI device. For
example if you have a SCSI-2 or any other type of scsi card & tape drive
the performance should be the same. However this may be different if you
are going through your parallel port or IDE. Perhaps the device might make
a difference but I find it very hard to believe that just because its
external (scsi) drive that it would be slower.

People have suggested that I just use FTP, and that's fine. I
use FTP also, but there are some sites that I use frequently that
just don't support FTP. In MS-Windows (which I am trying to
quit using) I can have an active PPP connection and at the same
time bring up a comm program to connect to something else. The
comm program provides zmodem file transfers.
I see no reason why the same thing won't work in Linux, but I
can't find a comm program (like Minicom) that doesn't insist on
controlling the modem. There doesn't seem to be any way to use
zmodem in an xterm window on a PPP connection either. Can anyone
suggest another way to do this. Thanks.

I also use TeraTerm (now not very often as I use Linux almost exclusively at
home now). As TeraTerm is free as well and some others its seem to me it
would be easier to get a replacement then to have to use work arounds with
MS's telnet program to get what you want.

You can modify startx itself! It is a shell script, and indeed
here is what it says right up at the top of it,
"# This is just a sample implementation of a slightly less primitive
# interface than xinit. It looks for user .xinitrc and .xserverrc
...
# Site administrators are STRONGLY urged to write nicer versions."
I don't recall exactly what the original looks like, but here are
a couple of lines at the top of my startx (incidentally, I have
an alias, alias x=`startx`, because not only is an argument to
startx too long to type, but so is the 'start' part!),
cd ${HOME}
bpp=16
And here is the last line in my startx file (I'm not sure
if this was modified or not),
xinit ${clientargs} -- -bpp ${bpp} ${serverargs}

Have you checked the physical connection of your CD-ROM. Some of the
oldest ones and still some kits use combination cards that had a
cd-rom(I/O card but only for proprietary devices) and sound card. Also
many computers that have factory components still list somewhere on the
CD-ROM drive who made it and what model it is, try taking the device out
of your system and looking at every centimeter of surface area, it
should tell you at least what it is.

This one just now happened and this is still a new installation
for me so I am confused. Netscape was running fine. I had a
remote web page on the screen and had roamed around in it a little,
then I clicked on something on that page and Netscape was completely
gone. Wiped out! Vanished! Poof!
An xterm window, that had been hidden by Netscape, was still on my
screen and was still working, as was my ppp connection. Everything
else seems okay and I have not yet tried the Netscape command to
bring it up again. I doubt if this is anything serious but I am
very curious. Can anybody tell me what happened? Thanks.

Hi,
I tried to install IglooFTP. I ran the RedHat RPM with the
'rpm -i iglooftp.rpm' cmmand. It installed fine. But I have
no idea where it installed to. I tried to find 'ftp' and
'igloo' in KDE's Find Files And Folders but all I got was a
couple of gifs and xpms - which I believe to be images or
icons.
Help me! save me from the hell gFTP is!

You need to register the software with Star Division

I can't speak to SuSE 6.1, but for COL 2.2 the media key is in the front cover
of the manual. It's a white sticker. You still need to register on SO's web

In any case, I would never partition as Marco recommended. I
find many advantages to slicing things up as recommended into /,
/boot, /usr, /var, /tmp, /home and so on. Exactly what partitions
to use and appropriate sizes for each will vary widely, depending
on how you use your system.
On my systems (pretty vanilla RedHat 5.2), log rotation and other
house cleaning tasks are run by cron at 4am. Systems that are not
up at that hour (like this dual boot beast), never get cleaned up.

There are no solutions to this problem without making someone, somewhere
"feel bad". The key is to deal with genuine vs. imagined "need". Able-bodied
adults who sponge off of the rest of society are (IMHO) criminals who need
to be treated as such - end of THAT story.
If those persons are further so irresponsible as to create new life and
refuse to provide all the basics - food, shelter, etc. then that constitutes
child abuse. They should be arrested, tried and convicted of THAT crime.
Parol terms should include "not making any more babies or creating any more
pregnancies".
The children themselves need better care than can be provided by such
miscreants. Orphanages are one possible, albeit not "ideal" solution. It's
certainly better than doling out greater and greater sums to indigent
parents. It's also interesting to note that the number of unwed births each
year is approximately equal to the number of qualified adoptive parents who
go wanting because there (supposedly) aren't enough babies to go around.
This opens up another possible solution.
None of this is perfect. This is the real world, and there are hard
decisions to be made.

Redhat's setup (I skipped 5.2, but they are the same in 5.0 and 6.0)
assumes that the computer will be up and running between 4:00 and 5:00 AM.
For those of us who keep their Linux systems up and running 24x7, this
works fine. For those who don't, apropos, locate, etc. won't work,
because their databases aren't being updated.
Given that a lot of our new users are coming from a desktop background,
where turning the computer off when they are done is considered normal, it
might be worth it for Redhat to add a note to their installation manual.

If you are running RH, check there fixes page. There is a problem with
