You could try using your package management system to see which
package it came from and guess based on that. You can also use
`ar t' on the lib*.a files to see what object files are inside
it, and try guessing again. Otherwise, I don't know.

Yes I had this problem as well and ended up with the .iso file burnt on
a CD. In my case I took the CD home and used the Adaptec CD Creator
package which worked without any problems. Do you know anyone with that
package? Altenatively a Linux machine with X-Cdroast would do - although
you would have a bit of a chicken & egg situation if this is your first
shot at Linux.
IIRC CeQuadrat has been bought up by Adaptec so presumably it will die
(I hate the package personally).

I am a bit suprised Nero can't cope with an .iso - it is after all a
standard. I was going to try Nero but was told it would conflict badly
with the 'Direct CD' part of the Adaptec Suite (this is the packet
writer which makes a CD-R/CD-RW look like a very slow Hard Disk)...

Installed Caldera OpenLinux on my PC (partition 2 of C: drive).
Now NT won't boot off partition 1.
I know, removing lilo should work. How do I do it?
In MSDOS it's FDISK /MBR.
What the hell is it in NT? NT Crashes (INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE), which

Hi,
The safest way (but do a full backup first anyway) is to get hold of a
copy of Partition Magic. Before running it defragment the disk so that
the 'free' space is positioned after the 'used' space.
There is a utility on the Linux CD (under DOSUTILS) called 'fips' which
IIRC can now cope with FAT32. Have a good look at the documentation
first though....
One of the Linux Distro's (Caldera?) comes with a 'shareware'/'lite'
version of Partition Magic if this would influence your decision.

Subject: Newbie: SCSI Boot Problem...
Date: Thu, 06 Apr 2000 07:55:34 GMT
Question:
How do I force Linux to always assign the root/boot device to the same
device (e.g. /dev/sdb).
Problem:
I have a Jaz 2G external drive. When I boot Linux without connecting
the Jaz drive it boots without any problems. The boot/root device
is /dev/sdb.
Connect the Jaz 2G drive and problems start. Linux assigns the
boot/root device to /dev/sdc and the Jaz drive to /dev/sdb. This
causes a Kernel panic. I can force the boot/root device to change
to /dev/sdc using LILO boot options, but I soon run into problems
where /dev/sdb is referred to.
Thanks...

I'm using Debian 2.2, and i've installed xscreensaver. (Some) screensavers
start, but never in color, always black and white, except one or two where I
could select 'only red and blue'. I have a good videocard (SiS 620, 8MB),
but my monitor is a vga (IBM 8513, 640*480). Also, if i look at an mpg using
mtv, colors are rather strange opposed to watching the same mpg in Windows
using mediaplayer. It seems like X isn't using the full potential of my
monitor, but I'm not sure why. I've installed the svga server, but it uses
vga mode (which is ok, i think, since the monitor is vga)

Most stuff seems to work fine, such as my mp3 collection which almost

Debatable. "Free" software has been around long before GNU and will
likely be around long after. Free does not imply non-proprietary
nore does for-cost imply proprietary.
If this was another group, I'd also startup the long unsolved

"free". Woops, I guess I just did anyway... :-)

The PC architecture has been freely available, and extensively

competition between clone makers and thus has dropped the cost
through the floor.
Hardware has shown to work better when it evolves, not when it tries
for a revolution. We're nearly off ISA and many platforms are
adopting PCI (PC, Mac, Sun Sparc, any others?).

Ya I noticed that too- java servlets. Thing is it makes it very difficult

all that memory by themselves?
If they could mark threads differently in some way that would make things

It has been a long time since I looked at xringd, but I don't
remember any part of it that would depend on the phone company.
I may not be remembering it well though, hence if you are
interested in some particular functionality or are thinking in
terms of some specific variation in telephone company technical
aspects, you might describe it and I or someone else can address
that directly.
There is one specific item relating to the way telephones work
which definitely can cause a problem with xringd. It appears
the author assumes a caller can count exactly how many times the
called line will have a ring applied. The documentation
discusses setting up a system to respond to 1 or 2 or 3 rings
differently as if the caller can count them. But, in fact
counting rings heard on the calling line does *not* indicate
exactly how many rings are applied to the called line.
The ringback which we hear in the phone when we call another
number is *not* the ringing current being applied to the called
line. It hasn't been since mechanical switches, and wasn't for
even some of those. With digital switching there is no direct
relationship between the "ring" we hear when we call and the
ring applied to the called line. That commonly means if we dial
a number and listen for 2 rings and then hang up, the called
line may have received 1 ring, 2 rings, or 3 rings. It is
possible, but less likely, on some systems that after 3 rings
being heard by the calling party, the called line might have
received anything from 1 to 5 rings. And lines with distincitve
ringing could be even more unusual.
That still allows some usefulness to coded ringing though, but
not quite the extensive selection that might be assumed from
reading the xringd documentation.
For example, I set up one system to react in one of two ways.
If any of 1, 2, or 3 rings and then 20 seconds without a ring is
detected, it does one thing. If 4 or more rings are received it
does something different. To trigger the first event a caller
can listen for exactly 2 rings and hang up. That will result in
from 1 to 3 rings being applied to the line. If the caller
just lets it ring multiple times, that would trigger a different
reaction a soon as the 4th ring was received.

I've just today (yesterday, whatever) installed GNU libc 2.1.2 with
the linuxthreads add on. Is that what you are running? I'm wondering
if I will see the same behavior as I expect I will use threads.
On the other hand, I might just use select() to multiplex my network
io. I'm not sure yet. Unix programming is so different from Windows
that I feel I am in another world.
