Stewart.
I'm interest in any CONSTRUCTIVE replies to your question, since I'm
investigating a similar solution.
To those of you less that polite folks trying to run Stewart off, I
say that his question is just as applicable to the news group as are
those dealing with Win95 or NT interoperability that appear here with
distressing regularity. If you have nothing constructive to add, I
suggest you simply bypass the post. okay?

Subject: [Q] About linux-2.3.99-pre3 Boot Msg on IDE
Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2000 16:34:35 -0500
Hi,
I have compiled and installed linux-2.3.99-pre3 kernel on my AMD K6-2
400MHz, FIC PA-2013A Mobo. When the computer booted up, I looked at the
/var/log/boot.msg file and found the following message:
<6>Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.30
<4>ide: Assuming 40MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with
idebus=xx
<4>VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
<4>VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
<4>VT 82C597 Apollo VP3
<4> Chipset Core ATA-33
AFAIK, the FIC PA-2013A Mobo supports the Bus frequency of 66, 68, 75,
83, 95, 100, 112, and 124MHz. Whereas my FIC PA-2013A Mobo Bus
frequency is set at 100MHz. The question is why the linux-2.3.99-pre3
kernel defaulted to assume a 40MHz system bus as shown in the
/var/log/boot.msg (excertped above)? Does this mean that my FIC
PA-2013A Mobo Bus frequency is set at 40MHz?

Using Debian Linux I am trying to map the F1 key to run pon
Here's what my /etc/inputrc looks like
set meta-flag on
set input-meta on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
"\e0d": backward-word

then I did this:
Below, CNTRL-v means control-v followed directly by a control-m (seems
to work fine in vi). (The cntrl-v makes the cntrl-m come out
literally
instead of just being a carrage return.)
"\e[11~": "ponCNTRL-vCNTRL-m"
"\e[12~": "poffCNTRL-vCNTRL-m"
No joy. Anyone know what I am missing ?

Subject: Linux Mandrake 7.0 reinstall?
Date: Mon, 27 Mar 2000 01:30:09 GMT
I installed Linux Mandrake 7.0 on my hard drive which windows 98 is
already on. The other day I did a defrag in windows and when I went to
boot into Linux all I got was LI when it was booting into LILO. I couldn't
get into Linux, not even with my boot disk. I ended up installing my
master boot record. I then tried to reinstall Linux but when I got to the
partitioning part of the install it was telling me that the drive or
something was corrupted and it wasn't recognizing where windows 98 was
installed.
Any idea's on how to reinstall Linux without wiping out windows? Would
using Partion Magic do the trick?

Go into -> File -> Settings

Subject: Q3 Win32 on Linux?
Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2000 21:18:20 -0500
Dear Quakers,
i was wondering if anyone know how to, if at all possible, or perhaps
lead me to information on installing the Win32 version of Quake 3 : Arena to
Linux? i have a Official Liscensed version of Q3 for Win9X and was curious
if i could port it to Linux ( Mandrake 7.0 ) ? All i want to do is set up a
dedicated server, so perhaps just downloading the demo would be
possible.....however, there are not patches for the demo and most people
wouldn't want to connect to a old version....1.16n is the latest and the
demo goes wayyyy back.
any help will be greatly appreciated.

Mystery solved! In RH 6.0 the executable /bin/login sets
the path to /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin. Thanks to Bill Staehle
and Colin Watson for tracking this down for me.

At a minimum, I'd say your hard drive no longer has a VFAT signature on
that first partition. You might try runnig fdisk to see if you can correct
it, but there may be a more serious problem with the drive itself.

Hi, I just got a Ditto Max drive and I cannot get it to work. Anyone got
that 4mps card to configure? isapnp sees it fine, it
is configured at 0x200, irq=5, dma=0. ftape sees it but responds "Device
not configured" I cannot find any help in the
manuals, no mention on configuring that card or the ditto max drive. Is
there any special config options in the kernel (2.2.15)?
Am I suppose to set the options in the kernel setup or in the
config.modules file? Can I use my standard FDC, what bitrate
can it handle and how can I find out. I heard that PCI motherboards have
problems with ftape, is that true and is there any way to find out if
mine is one of them? Anyone have a web page on configuring the ditto
max? - Thanks!!!

Reply-To: Gary Krupa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Bill,
I was able to run pppd as a non-root user by means of the
/etc/ppp/peers/name configuration recommended in the pppd man page.
Still, I'd be curious to know how I could accomplish the same result just
by using the user option. I tried using it with the same argument as
the name option, and it didn't work. It also didn't work when I substituted
my own name for the argument to user.
In fact, the pppd man page describes the user option virtually identically
to the name option.
Would you please tell me what information you'd need about my pppd setup,
to determine how to make the name option work?
Here's a brief outline of what I did to make the name option work:
1) set up a file called "name" in the directory /etc/ppp/peers
2) inserted various pppd options in the name file, in the same format as
the /etc/ppp/options file.
3) made the name file readable by non-root users
4) inserted options in the /etc/options file, similar to those in the
"name" file.
5) replaced the ppp-on script with: pppd call name lock
