Date: Fri, 05 May 2000 09:22:01 -0400

I am using TurboLinux 6.0 WS on an HP Vectra PIII/450, dual booted with
W95.  I'm getting a errors on the linux boot that I think are affecting
my NIC and networking.  The problem is the errors go by quicker than I
can read them.  After boot and log in I do a dmesg command but there are
no errors in the message list.  Can I pause the screen during boot up or
is there another place to look for the error messages??

Have used IRQ 2 for network cards in the past and all went well.

You'll find that some periferal devices prefer certain IRQ's, believe it 
has to do with the device drivers.

Sharing won't necessarily work in a great deal of instances.

Hello everyone !

Sorry if this question has already been asked but i didn't found the
answer anywhere !

Here the problem.
I'm using RedHat 6.1.
I have build a new kernel (2.2.14smp) and i have modified my
/etc/lilo.conf:

 Hi,

Under Linux Netscape, when you go to print a document, the only choice
is to print the whole thing.  Is there a way to pront only , say, the
first 6 pages of an HTML file under Netscape/Linux??  Is there something
I have to append to the "lpr" command?

Thanks.

Your only practical solution is to buy an NFS or SMB server for the
Macintosh, then use NFS or smbmount to mount the share in Linux. There is
a package for Linux that theoretically mounts AppleTalk shares, but it's
alpha-level software and is reportedly not usable. Check
http://www.panix.com/~dfoster/afpfs/ if you want more information on it.

Everybody is correct. I didn't think it would work, so just for grins I
tried installing installing all of the different flavors. No luck at
all. What satellites do you want to track? There's a Linux program
called 'mtrack' that works pretty well, altough the window size on it is
pretty small. You might also want to check AMSAT, as they have some
Linux programs.

I had hoped that wouldn't be the case... I'd rather not run that kind of
thing on the Apple server (apart from anything else, NFS itself is a huge
security risk).

Yuk - looks waaaaay too alpha for my liking.

I've heard of a Solaris product called "kashare" - is that available for
Linux? Doesn't seem to be :*(

Hi,
    I have understood that the purpose of /etc/fstab was to tell Linux

to mount the devices that were listed on boot up, but it seems, I
think, that there can be devices listed that are not automatically
mounted.
    If that is so, what is the purpose of haveing the others listed at
all
in that you can just mount them manually at will anyway.
    Also, how could I make the system re-read the /etc/fstab file
without rebooting the system?
    How is the "supermount" attribute used?

                                        Thanks

Yep.  block-major-8 is associated with SCSI disks (not even SCSI
CD-ROMs!) so somehow your /etc/conf.modules is associating your CD-ROM
with a SCSI disk, I think.  If you can actually read from your CD-ROM at
the moment, and you don't have any SCSI disks, edit /etc/conf.modules and
add the line
alias block-major-8 off
and those error messages should stop appearing.

Don't do this if you have a SCSI disk attached to the machine.

The messages should be logged to /var/log/boot.{msg,log} and I believe
you can press CTRL-S to pause the scrolling during a boot.  CTRL-Q

That's one of its uses.

If they're listed you can mount them with only the mount point (or only
the device); the other information is taken from /etc/fstab.

/etc/fstab  is read whenever you use mount.

I don't know what you mean.  Do you mean superblock?

For more information, do 

man mount.

Yes. The "noauto" option.

: in that you can just mount them manually at will anyway.

The entries serve as aliases, so you can say "mount /floppy" instead of
"mount /dev/fd0 -t vfat /floppy"

:     Also, how could I make the system re-read the /etc/fstab file
: without rebooting the system?

type "mount -a".

:     How is the "supermount" attribute used?

By the supermount daemon, whatever that is. Did you really mean
attribute? Option? FStype?

Great!! Thank you very much, i got it!

After deleting fd0, i ran ./MAKEDEV fd0 and simply type

    mcopy  test.txt a:text.txt

and it works! So does mdir! just type mdir a:  !


Thanks to all especially Eric, Patricia, Joachim and Rick.

Regards
Damon

Subject: "make config" surprise
Date: 5 May 2000 14:54:24 GMT

Hello fellow users,
        
        While trying to modify my kernel, I went to /usr/src/linux and tried to
"make xconfig" and "make menuconfig."  I got the following error message but am
not quite sure what it means:

        make: *** No rule to make target `xconfig'.  Stop. 

        Can anybody suggest what I should be checking out as a result of this
error message?  Configuring the kernel had not been a problem during several of
my earlier attempts.

Thanks!
