That doesn't seem too likely if it is a proprietary product.
But the gcc compiler seems able to handle most everything you
throw at it. We have been using it for years on Suns ever
since they started charging extra for a C compiler. And now
we use it on our Linux machines,

I have been trying to get a small dock app ("wmppp") to work. I am
very close but have run into 1 problem that I believe is my final road
block.
I get the following message whenever I try to connect using the
script I have set up:
/usr/sbin/pppd: must be root to run /usr/sbin/pppd, since it is
not setuid-root
Is "setuid-root" a compile time option, or can I set this someplace
else?
(if possible, please resond via e-mail).
Thanks for any help!

Normally you would use primary partitions unless you needed
more than 4 partitions. Extended partitions with logical
paritions are slightly more complicated to set up and involve
slight more overhead in use, but you would never notice.
The only thing you can't do with a logical partition, I believe,
is to put the lilo boot loader in it. Instead you have to put
it in the surrounding extended partition. But one usually
puts the lilo boot loader in the master boot record, so this
is not often a problem.

If you've ever had to install Windows on a strange machine
and get all the device drivers which Windows doesn't know about
installed, you would be aware that naive users would have
even less of a chance of using Windows if they had to install
it themselves.
We've bought several PCs with Linux installed, and they come
close to working right out of the box.

Because if you understand how the script file works then you know how to

two things, 1) add the -d option to turn on debugging then examine
/var/log/messages to see how far it is getting. 2) after the ATZ , I
believe you should be expecting "OK" and not a null string, since you

I'm going to turn my dos partition into a Linux partition. I want to

How do I make it as a standard Linux install without a duel boot that
goes right into Linux?
I was thinking going into /etc/lilo.conf and removing the second option

I have this exact same problem with Samba, although it usually
doesn't show-up with "ls". If I try to use "du" on a fairly full
directory (>100 files), I get exactly the same error messages you
describe.
Going through the optimizations mentioned in the speed.txt file
included with the Samba documentation made file transfers faster,
but I still have the "too many open files in system" errors.
If you find a solution to this problem, please post it in this

When in X, try going to a terminal window and entering xbanner
it might need to be Xbanner
Red Hat 5.1 has the logo file installed by default, and if it's there
it will display it as wallpaper when you enter that command. Try that
and see if it's there.
If it's there, you can then go look for the file itself.

No it's not Midi's Fault. It's the Driver/Card. Have you ever heard XG? If
not you are missing out. Midi is very very powerful when used with a good
Soundcard/Driver. Alot of games and movies use Midi. I am not kidding. Also
many high end keyboards use Midi. Midi can "sound" better than MP3, mp3 is
compressed format that in 128K sounds very swishy. Encode at 160 or 192 and
you get "NearCD" quality.

Not permissions; if you do have the LCK.. file then the modem is actually

I can't be sure, but I think this would require solving daunting
problems in artificial intelligence. Since the operating systems
are entirely different, that tool would have to reverse engineer
the Windows device driver, figure out what it intended to do, and
they create code to do the same for Linux.

Trying to use pppd in Redhat 6.0 and Gnome....(Finally got my modem to work
by going into BIOS of my motherboard and turning off "PnP OS")
When I login as ROOT,. I can use PPP just fine....but that probably not very
secure
When I login with my normal user account and try to run PPP, I get ...."Cant

permissions to modify a certain file. (Presumably in the /var/lock
directory)....
Here's the interesting part....when I'm logged on as ROOT all I see is
/var
/console
/subsys
But, when I logon as my user account, I see this.....
/var
/console
/subsys
and a file called "console.lock" which I get "permission
denied" when I try to open it.....
How come I can see this file as a user, but I cannot see it as ROOT----more
importantly,..if I cant see it as ROOT,..how am I supposed to give my user
account access to it....All I really want to do is logon as a user and dial
out.....

OK, I give up. Maybe it's in the (unindexed) manual

when I click on a program in the Gnome pager it not only
gets the focus, but also is automatically raised? There's
an Enlightenment option to autoraise windows if you give
them the focus with the keyboard, and that works, but I
can't find anything anywhere that will do it with the Gnome

pretty much blottos Gnome.

I *think* it's an option you can set somewhere else. I read
a message a few days ago that I didn't understand (I'm new
to Linux) that said that to let non-root users use kpppd,
you should use the KDE file manager, right click on the
file, click on "properties," and click the "set uid" button.
Sounds like what you want.
Sorry to be so vague, but I've only just begun to try out
Linux the day before yesterday. At this point, I'm still
not sure that I see any reason to prefer it to Windows
(other than it's cost, and the fact that I don't own a whole

Subject: Need help optimizing tape drive parameters
Date: 15 Aug 1999 03:24:14 GMT
Hello,
I have the following hardware setup.
Intel P-II 350.
196 Mb RAM.
S3 Virge video card.
Adaptec 2940UW w/
4.5 Gb Seagate Medalist Pro disk
4.5 Gb Seagate Medalist Pro disk
9.1 Gb Seagate Medalist Pro disk
9.1 Gb Seagate Medalist Pro disk
Adaptec 2910 w/
CD-ROM (I think it's a NEC 8 speed.)
Exabyte 8200 8mm tape drive.
3com 3c509 network card. (To be replaced with 3c905 10/100 card.)
Software:
Redhat 6.0 (2.2.5-15 kernel. No patches as yet.)
I'm trying to get the tape drive set up and working. Booting recognizes the
drive OK. And I can get
the DUMP routine to work OK too. But, I have to give the dump qualifier
density parameters.
This makes me wonder if I'm using the tape drive as efficiently as possible.
When I dump a file system,
I notice that the tape drive and disk drive indicator's only light for a few
moments then go off. I'm
wondering if I'm transfering data as quickly as possible.
My questions are;
Has anybody dug into the performance of this hardware? Especially the tape
drive? I've
been toying with /etc/stinit.def, with /etc/sysconfig/tape, and I'm not
satisfied with the results.
How best to optimize density, transfer rate.
How can I make /dev/st0 the default device?
Thanks in advance,

there is a software decoder that runs under linux.
go to redhat.org/.com
follow the links to redhat 6, then to the app. cd details.
you will find links to some mpeg site. look for mpeg II players.
note DVD does not equal mpeg II. you could put your database or plain
text
file in DVD if you like.
