The problem is that you are using an older LILO that will only boot if the
kernel is on the first 1024 cylinders. Since you are using Slackware, I
assume that you want to do things the hard way.
Your solution:
* Boot in to Linux with your boot floppy
* Find the latest version of LILO on the net. metalab.unc.edu probably
has it.
* Compile and install LILO
* Run it with your current /etc/lilo.conf
LILO should work at this point.
Another option is to have a small Linux boot partition near the start of
your hard disk.

Ok, now what happens if you do "lpr postscript-file"? If that works, then
your printer filter is working as far as sending the job to the printer
but is not converting to postscript for you. That can be worked around
several ways. The easy one is to use "enscript" or "nenscript" to print
text files and to make sure that your apps print postscript (which is the
normal Unix-y thing to do anyway). Or you can make a fancier print filter
using something like "magicfilter".
If "lpr postscript-file" fails, then your filter is probably borked and
you will need to fix whatever the problem is. First thing would be to go
back into the setup and put everything back to what seems sensible (I
assume you've been fooling around with settings trying to get this
working). If that can't fix it, then you may need to manually edit the
filter. I can send you the default one from the Samba distribution if
that would help.

That's because Windows NT has an lp service that can be installed.
Out of the box, MS Windows 95/98 does not. There are shareware
solutions for adding an lp program to 95/98.
If you do not want to go that route, then you need to install
Samba on the Unix/Linux side and make a printer share. Then
you add a network printer on the MS Windows 95/98 side.

Try this:
Instead of using a stock Kernel, use the kernel that comes with your
distribution. This is usually available as a .src.rpm on the source CD
your distribution came with. It will, in the compile process, add a lot
of patches, including the one needed to make it work with your Sparc 10.
Either that, or compile your kernel with a minimum of drivers that may be
causing it to crash.

Subject: Congressional Support to Repeal DMCA
Date: Fri, 12 May 2000 16:20:44 -0500
Greeting Congressman Weiner and Mathew:
I'm sending this email out to you about the The Digital Millennium
Copyright Act, Public Law 105-304 (1998), added a new Chapter 12 to
title 17 United States Code.
This Act by Congress needs to be dramatically altered to ensure that the
fair use rights given to US citizens under the Constitution are better
protected, and to ensure that everyone in America has the right to
innovate and participate fairly in commerce.
Without going through the complete details of the the entire act,
fundamentally, this law was passed by congress in response to the
increasing concern by various traditional broadcast and media
corporations that the limit license provided by copyright is becoming
harder to protect in the digital environment. The trouble with the act
is that it has no respect for the constitutional balance between the
rights of holders of copyright licenses and the rights both free speech
and property of people who consume information. And of course we are
all consumers of information.
As Law Professor Yochai Benkler of NYU, an expert of Inforamation Law,
was quoted as saying, "If the judge finds for the plaintiff (in a case
involving the DMCA in NY), and the decision isn't knocked down on appeal
it will create an environment that's closed like nothing we've ever seen
before....Say you want to criticize the liberal leanings of Hollywood,
or criticize the sexist movie of this or that, You need to be able to
quote little pieces of the movie. You can do that under the copyright
law, because that's fair use, but using DVDs lawfully as the [film
association] reads the law, you can't do that. This really extinguishes
user privilege to an unprecedented degree."
(For more information see
:http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0018/howe.shtml)
The DMCA, as it is currently written and interpreted by the Federal
District Court of NY, under Judge Lewis Kaplan, (See the transcript at
http://www.2600.org/news/2000/0121-files/0121-trans.html ) is being
interpreted so strictly as to undermine the protections that were
written into it for the protecting reversing engineering and fair use.
The law states that if a copyrighted material is available in digital
format (and what is not going to be available in digital format in the
future), that an electronic access device can be used to regulate access
to that material in order to protect piracy of the material.
The trouble with the law is largely 3 fold:
A - The law tramples fair use and property rights.
B - The law is stifling invocation.
C - The Law is stifling free speech and is a direct threat to the kind
of discourse necessary for a free society.
In the first case, up until now, the Supreme Court has drawn a line
between the limited rights of a copyright holder to material, and the
protections of speech and property of owners of the actual media in
which material is publish on. For example, an owner of a record is
allowed to copy music to cassette tape for personal use. The owner of a
book has the right to quote parts of the book, as I did here, even to
photocopy it for a personal archive or a report. The DMCA prevents
these activity when the printed text or the audio tract is on a DMCA
protected digital format. As an example, in the case of the new DVD
media, the purchase of the DVD does not give the owner of the disk the
right to use it as they see fit. For example, they may be only be
allowed to view the disk on a computer running Microsoft Windows, or a
computer using a specifically permitted software or other authorized
device. This arraignment places a choke hold on what information can
and can not be viewed and removes freedom of choice and fair use. You
can not copy any segment of the information, anotate it, or print it
out. As things are currently, for example, a standard American DVD can
not legally be seen on the <A HREF="http:www.linux.org">Linux Operation
System</A>, the second largest operating system in current use in the
US. In response to not being able to view DVD's on Linux, Linux
developers create a program to access the DVD for viewing. The
developers posted the program on the internet. In response, the Movie
industry brought suit in NY and in California. Judge Katz in NY has
said in his ruling that EVEN UNDER THE CONDITION that the program was
developed for use under Linux, and was protected under the reverse
engineering clause of the DMCA, that this would not protect the
developer of the program from arrest, or the web masters who post the
program on the internet from prosecution under the DMCA.
As it is, the developer is a 16 year old boy and both the boy and his
father were arrested in Norway, where they live. If he lived in
America, the boy would be considered a felon under the DMCA.
In the second case, if Judge Katz ruling is to stand, and if congress
does not strengthen the rights of developers to reverse engineer DMCA
hardware and software for inter-operability with new hardware and
software, then the impact on the US economy will be devastating. The
Linux operating system, for example, was created by a graduate student
who had an open platform in the IBM Personal Computer clone. Without
the ability have this open platform, the Linux operation system, in
addition to nearly every other internet based piece of software, could
never have come into existence. The DMCA is a dagger at the heart of
Linux, and other new technologies like it, and to the internet itself.
If any part of the PC which is copyrighted (which is almost the entire
platform), the DMCA today would prevent the exploration of the hardware
and the firmware, and more to the point, would make the new technology
illegal just for accessing the computers insides without
pre-authorization by the copyright holders of the technology.
In short, under today's legal system, thanks to the DMCA, the internet
itself, which is larging driving today's economy, would never have come
into existence because the protocols which run the networking would be
protected and closed through means of DMCA devices.
In the third case, the DMCA is stifling free speech today, and will have
an increasing devastating effect on free speech in the future. The news
outlet at http://slashdot.org has received notice for Microsoft Corp. to
remove information posted on the web site in discussing Microsoft
business proactice, because they claim, not that the information itself
was copyrighted, but because it was protected under the DMCA. The
copyright itself would not have given Microsoft protection because the
material was being discussed in the context of a of a conversation of
it's unfair business practices. So they needed to evoke the DMCA.
Microsoft by passed the fair use doctrine which protects individuals and
news media by invoking the DMCA. (see
http://nylug.org/list-archives/NYLUG-TALK/2000-05/msg00159.html for a
copy of the Letter sent by Microsoft the the publisher of slashdot)
This threat is larger than the recent spat with between Time-Warner and
Disney over channel seven/WABC. In that case, the NY Times has ardently
come out in support of protecting the freedom of the speech by the
press. In this case, there would no longer BE ANY PRESS accept for news
disseminated through approved channels under DMCA protection. Both
creators and consumers of information would be censored through the
control of access to the public.
Barring any potential perceived monetary risk which media companies
think up, and especially in light that no evidence exists that digital
media has costed companies a single penny from copyright infringement, I
must ask that the Congressman take the lead in protecting individual
property and fair use rights, freedom to innovate and share in our
prosperity, and the freedom of speech. This is the trinity of a great
and free society. Congress is empowered to protect and enhance these
activities. But Congress has stumbled because it seems to lack a real
understanding of the issues, and how technology works.
I want you to lobby and to present a bill to repeal the DMCA, or at
least, pass an amendment reaffirming the rights of every individual, in
relationship to copyrighted and exchanged information, to their
historical guarantees which have, until now, served this great nation so
well.

Go to the website of the ISP in question and read the instructions.
Get the number the modem needs to dial, set yourself up with an id
do an nslookup to get the DNS servers (I think?), and you're all

In the messages log file it gives you a pid in square brackets (process ID),
to into the /proc directory as root, see if there's a directory for that
pid that you got from the messages file, enter that directory, and there's
a file called environ, which gives you the environment variables for that
user such as username, hostname etc.
Hope this helps.

You will need use SAMBA to do this.
1) install SAMBA onto your host
2) go to LINUXCONF (or else), select Configure Modules of LinuxConf, and
add the SAMBA to allow the LinuxConf to configure the SAMBA
3) return to the first Linuxconf page, and then select SAMBA
4) add the print sharring for all printers
Thaths all on the server.
on the Windows machine, access the linux printer is the same way to access
any other Network printer.
if you need, I can send you my /etc/smb.conf

I heard the whisper that he was earning a salary upwards of a quarter
million dollars. Add to that the fact that all he did to get that salary
(and the knowledge that he will never have to hunt for a job) was what he
enjoyed. I'd say it is paying off pretty well.

Doh! I cannot print using lpr from the command line. I uninstalled lpr
and
installed LPRng instead as one attempt at fixing the problem. What
happens
when I do "lpr <postscript file>" is that I get this message:

Hello,
has anybody experienced a high load due to a daemon 'klogd'
which seems to run for days, taking up, in my case, 100% of
one of my CPU's?
Where is this daemon controlled, i.e. what starts this?
I read the man page, but can somebody explain briefly a
bit more about what this does?
If there is a problem with klogd, is there a patch I
could grab?
Is it safe to 'disable' klogd?
Thanks,
AG
