Greetings.
When I allow gdm to serve up xdmcp, it's status broadcasts the fact that it's
running Linux and what kernel version.
I'd like to configure this to emulate Solaris, and show the number of users
logged in and system load.
I'd settle for ANYTHING except "hey, look, I'm running Linux version
2.2.blahblah, come get me!"
Anybody got any insights?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone has every setup a second LPT port on a Linux
box with a PCI parallel card. I'm running kernel 2.2.12 with lp
modulerized, and I know the IRQ and IO port for the for the PCI parallel
adapter. I think all I need to do is put a couple of lines in my
/etc/conf.modules to get lp or parport to recognize it, though I do not
know what those lines should be.
Am I on the right track? Do anyone have any suggestions?
TIA,

Subject: pump and dhcpcd
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2000 12:16:37 -0600
I've been using a cable modem under RH 6.1 successfully for a
couple of months, but in the last week I started encountering
difficulty getting an IP address from the server. This
seems to occur when I boot Linux after having booted Windows 95.
My cable company may be having some sporadic problems in my
area, and my cable modem may have gone flaky. I've also had
the same problem with Windows on occasion but not nearly as often
as with Linux, which is what I use the great bulk of the time.
In order to try to figure out what is happening, I've been
looking at some of the documentation. The Cable modem
mini HOWTO says it should just work for my Cable provider,
adn until recently it appeared to do so. After looking
at my intialization scripts, including /sbin/ifup, I
think I am using pump to get an IP addres.
It does seem that I can eventually get connected if I keep
stopping and then starting /etc/rc.d/init.d/network. Usually
three or so tries suffices.
I have the dhcpcd package installed, but I don't
see immediately how to invoke that instead of pump. Or am I
confused and dhcpcd is really being used anyway?
Can someone point me at some additional
documentation to help enlighten me further. Also, what debugging
aids can I use either with pump of dhcpcd to help me figure out
just what is going wrong.

I have an IBM 37.5 GB hard disk and I'm trying to duel boot Windows 98 SE
and Linux. In the oversize disk HOWTO
(http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Large-Disk-HOWTO-12.html#ss12.1), it mentions
that a distribution running the 2.2.14 kernel will survive the insane 33.8
GB Linux booting limit. Does this mean that I can successfully install
RedHat Linux 6.2 (the new RedHat with the Linux 2.2.14 kernel) on hard drive
with partitions like:
========
| Windoze (GBs 1-19)
| |
| |
| |
=========
| RH 6.2 (20-37.5)
| |
| |
| |
=========
Note: I can't seem to duel boot the RH 6.1 and Windoze. I've had many
problems each and every time I try it and I've had to delete all partitions
on my drive and install Windoze using its own CDROM disc and its simple
fdisk.

Indeed. This too shall pass.
Thank you to the several people who have replied to my query.

Subject: shutdown and time saving

I have a couple of small problems. I am running redhat 6.0
Recently I applied a few patches and one of them affected the poweroff and
shutdown permissions. Before I was able to use them with any user by typing
in their password but now I have to be root. Anyone know how to fix this ?
The other problem is a recurrence of a problem I had last year. After the
clocks went forward into British Summer Time, linux seems to want to put the
clock forward by an hour every time I boot up. This happened last year and
stopped as soon as the clocks went back.
If anyone can help with either of these problems it would be much
appreciated.

You need to install 98 *before* NT. If you install NT first, 98 will
wipe out the boot loader.

There's Berlin and GGI (may not have the spelling right on the last
one.) Last I saw, the Berlin developers had just about managed to draw
some window-equivalents. I forget where the GGI project is at the
moment. Theoretically, Troll Tech is releasing a version of the Qt
toolkit that does not need X, but that's probably alpha still.
The Linux gamers are using X, because nothing else is mature enough :-)
>Is there anything at all like the <excuse the swearing> ms directx
>graphics interface for <choose your poison> fast or lightweight gfx?
Tried SVGALib? The overhead's much less, though there are security
problems out the wazoo since SVGALib apps must run as root. It's also
somewhat more difficult to get nifty gaming things done, as the
OpenGL/Glide bits I've seen tend to be for X and X only.
If/when the DRI (Direct Rendering Infrastructure) for Xfree 4.0 gets
itself together, things will speed up a bit on a local display. X was not
designed to display 24-bit 1024x768 Quake3 at 40fps on a local display; it
was designed for displaying simpler, relatively static images at
relatively low res in a network-transparent manner. (Kind of like how the
8086 was designed to be able to run CP/M if people wanted it to...)

Maybe. Maybe not. As you should know if you've read the FAQ, the safe
way to do this is like so:
/dev/hda1 ext2 /boot 25M
/dev/hda2 FAT32 C: 19G
/dev/hda3 extend 18G
/dev/hda5 and up ext2/swap / and so on...
This will require Partition Magic or something; moving a FAT32 partition
up a few cylinders is a royal pain. Or,
/dev/hda1 FAT32 C: 7.5G
/dev/hda2 ext2 /boot 25M
/dev/hda3 extend 30G
/dev/hda5 FAT32 D: 11.5G
/dev/hda6 and up ext2/swap / and so on...
which is a bit easier to do, but splits your FAT32 space up a bit. (This
can be a Good Thing! Keep all the data on hda5 and when Winblows
scrozzles itself, reinstall it onto hda1!)
Or, you could put the kernel image on the FAT32 partition and boot it
using LOADLIN. This works for people, but you have to be careful to make
sure the kernel image doesn't get moved or overwritten.
>Note: I can't seem to duel boot the RH 6.1 and Windoze. I've had many

If you were more specific in the problems that you had, I think someone
would be able to figure out 1) why they happened 2) how to avoid them.

i get that too. here's what happens -
sometimes the cablemodem company's dhcp server doesn't respond. in
windows, the dhcp client will time out and silently use the last
values. in linux, you get a failure. don't shoot the messenger.
keep plugging away.

i am assuming redhat.
hack /sbin/ifup and change the pump stuff to dhcpcd. see the man
pages for the correct options to pass to dhcpcd.

rh 6.1 has upgrades for pump (rh replacement for dhcp) and

Subject: making progress
Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2000 19:22:39 GMT
Through wonderful advice i have received by people, i have some new
theories as to what can be done to fix our problem. I wish to confirm
these theories before taking action to prevent further damage.
Im assuming that the index.html&associated files are not showing up
because the filesystem is mounted in the directory which contains the
files im attempting to access. This makes sense now that i think of it.
So in order to fix the problem, i have a plan.
1. I am going to make a new directory to which i will mount the
filesystem. (ie. /newmnt) Then i will mount the drive (/dev/hdb2) onto
/newmnt. Once mounted, i will create a /home/webmaster directory and
copy page and associated sub-directories to the newly created
/home/webmaster inside the /newmnt point.
I think that theoretically, i should be able to view the page
correctly, and it should exist on the new drive (/dev/hdb2) instead of
the old one.
Will this work? and if not, what am i doing wrong??
I thank you knidly for the help,
Joe

That's what the automated install script for the multiport card set the
