There are two "generic" printer drivers that can be used with good success.
One is "PassThru Postscript" and the other is "PassThru Text". The PassThrus
Text is a very basic driver useful primarily for printing such things as
ASCII-like listings (program source codes, etc.). The PassThru Postscript
does a good job printing postscript. Both are quite easy to set up. And both
work very nicely with the Epson 500.

I've been trying to boot 2.3.18 on my Pentium I,
Tyan Tomcat II, Tekram SCSI 390 UW. It detects the hardware
and disks and so forth. Then stops with "cannot find init".
The system boots and runs fine with 2.2.9; the last kernel
that works on my hardware.
Any ideas?

For an IDE drive on the same box where you're running linux:
# mkdir /mnt/dosc
Add this to /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/dosc msdos defaults,user

$ mount /mnt/dosc
To mount a shared microso~1 drive on some other box, use samba.

Unless you use the code of GPLed development tools in your
software, you are not required to GPL your software. For example,
you can use gcc to compile proprietary software.

I whole-heartedly agree, and that is why I personally am moving away from
Windows and to Linux, etc. HOWEVER, Linux is still way too complicated
for the average user to grasp. I program for Windows, have done systems
administration, etc., so I think I will be able to handle the transition.
But Joe User probably couldn't, at least not yet. I agree with you,
there is a _very_ fine line between ease-of-use, and giving up control
and power. Personally, I think the ultimate OS will be able to bridge
that gap. It will offer excellent ease-of-use and intelligence, but only
if you want it to. You will be able to "get your hands dirty" if you
want to, as well. At least, that's what I hope. The simple fact is that
the average user needs/wants most of this stuff to be shielded from them.
How else do you explain the success of Windows, or the iMac? Esp. in
the case of Windows; people admit that it has problems, but it lets them
do what they want to without a lot of work. If rebooting once or twice a
day is the price for that ease-of-use, they are apparently willing to pay
it. But anyway, like I said, I agree with you, and that is why it is so
nice to have a choice. Want power and stability? use Linux. Want ease
of use? Use MacOS, Windows, etc. Personally, I use several operating
systems, because each one serves a different purpose. I encourage
everyone to make the right choice for themselves, not because someone
else says it is right for them, as Curtis tries to do.

Potentially.
PostgreSQL *does* have the ability to do logging; I'm not sure why you
think it doesn't.
In any case, it is a wise idea in *any* system you might implement to
have transactions log transaction-oriented information in some form of
log independent of the database, as this allows recovery procedures to
intelligently recover what needs to be recovered, as opposed to
"everything," which might include updates related to irrelevant stuff
such as system monitoring.
Thus, if you have marshalled the updates together into a single data
structure, it should be straightforward to dump out a "log" of those
updates to a separate device into an append-only file.
More sophisticated approaches to this approach take you into the realm
of:
a) Transaction Processing Monitors, like unto BEA Tuxedo or Transarc
Encina. Tuxedo is available for Linux, albeit not free of
licensing costs.
b) Message Queueing Middleware.
IBM MQSeries is the classic example of this; Microsoft's MSMQ is
essentially a "clone" of MQSeries. MQSeries client software is
available for Linux, but probably is not a useful answer.
There is a "free" message queueing system available called Isect;
see <http://pweb.netcom.com/~tgagne/index.html>.
>2) MS SQL Server supports stored procedures. It looks like

>(Perl? Shell? SQL scripting?)
What will get cited heavily is web-oriented stuff like PHP.
I'd suggest also taking a look at something like Isect, which provides
a way of marshalling messages and distributing them across work
processes.

Something I've been wondering about for awhile -- I don't have

I most certainly do agree with you, and I've vocalized that opinion in
subsequent follow-ups. Something tells me that we will never convince Curtis

Dear Friends,
Hope you all are doing fine.
Recentely I encountered a serious phenomenon.
My Linux Laptop Box is running under
1. Toshiba Satellite Pro 480CDt
2. 32M RAM
3. 233MHz CPU
4. Redhat 5.2
5. WindowMaker 6.0
6. Kernel 2.3.2, 2.3.5, 2.2.5
I compiled a new kernel 2.3.16,
and it was not successful.
The message "Kernel Panic, Can not load Root File System."
And did again with 2.2.9, and failed.
Saw the same message.
I, then, booted from Dos using LoadLin.
It was O.K.
I remember that a few days ago I came to
boot from LoadLin. In the middle, I was
prompted to e2fsck. It also said that
it might cause serious damage if you fsck
to the loaded file system.
But without giving enough attention to
the message, I just pressed yes.
Afterwards, I think, I got fallen into
this formiddable situation.
I am still using Linux by booting from Dos.
I would like to know if there is a person
that could help me return to the smooth
old linux system.
1. What is the reason that when I boot
from Dos, I do not see the same message of
"Kernel panic, lost root fs."
2. How can I solve this problem?
I did e2fsck, but the same thing happens.
Thanks in advance,

If your open for a different way of printing from linux to an NT server, enable LPD
printing on your NT server. See below for an example.
Steve Cowles
SWCowles at gte dot net
On your NT server where the printers are attached...
Load Microsoft TCP/IP Printing. Goto Control-Panel->Network->Services. There is no
configuration required. Just load it as a service. As always, you will have to re-boot.
<groan>
On your Linux box
Create a remote printer definition in /etc/printcap. See my example below. The key
fields
to change at your end are "rm" and "rp". rm = should point to your NT server name (the
print server, use FQDN not the netbios name), rp = should point to the remote print
queue
"name" on that NT server.
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:rm=defiant.mydomain.net:\
:rp=HPLaser:\
:if=/var/spool/lpd/lp/filter:
To test the remote printer definition, type the following... you should see something
similer. In my example, my print queue is empty. duh!!

I posted a question a week or two ago about adding a 2nd harddrive to my
HP Pavilion Pentium II to house linux. It was suggested that I install
loadlin, a DOS program, on my Win98 boot drive, and linux on the 2nd drive,
and I think I will take this route.
I thought of a couple other questions that I was hoping someone could

1. I have an ethernet card in the HP that I use to access a linux box in
our home running Oracle and linux in text mode. Will I be able to use that
card when booted from the linux disk, as I do with when booted as Windows?
It is a Linksys using the tulip driver (whatever that is). Does the linux
GUI have a telnet program so I can telnet into the Oracle box?
2. I have a Rockwell internal modem in the HP. I have been assured it is
not a Winmodem. Will I be able to access this when booted as linux?
3. We were looking at a Maxtor 13G hard drive tonight. Would this be
compatible with linux? Could it recognize all 13G?
Sorry, I guess that's more than a "couple" questions. Thanks for any
replies.

Subject: Java Development Kit that will work under Red Hat 6.0?
Hello,
