That driver is included in the later versions of ghostscript. I have ver 5.1
on my computer and it as well as to other resolutions are on there. If your
version of ghostscript doesn't have the drivers, you probably should upgrade
for you can print with 360x, 720x, and 1440x resolutions.

Subject: problems with dump & cron
Date: Tue, 06 Jun 2000 15:17:31 +0200
I have a cron-job which should schedule a dump.
In /var/log/messages it says that the cronjob has been executed, but the =
dump did not run.
I use SuSE 6.3
root@filez:~/bin > crontab -l
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.20539 installed on Tue Jun=A0 6 15:17:50 2000)

root@filez:~/bin > cat /root/bin/fullbackup
dump -0au -f /dev/st0 /dev/sda3
When I call /root/bin/fullbackup manually, it works great...
Anyone any idea?

Boy, not on my system! Pre-release 6_1 occupies about 35 meg
of my hard drive, while Netscape 4.73 (browser only) occupies
about 15.
I had pre-release 6_1 on my system and removed it. It was
incredibly slow. Sure hope the full release is better.

There is an open source language called octave which is about 95%
compatible with Matlab. I've also heard the Scilab is more or less
compatible, though I haven't tried it myself. Matlab itself is
available for Linux, although it's not cheap; ask them if they have a

I'm not using isapnp to configure these cards. Also, IRQ's and ports
are not shared, tr0 uses 10 an port 0a20, tr1 uses 9 and port 0a24 and
the cards are not sharing memory locations.

most shops don't simply install linux (which they legally could although
perhaps they don't know this) but rather sell you the whole thing and
redhat is far from free. On the MS side of things, MS' pricing policies
are everyone's question mark. I heard one prominent economist involved
with the last MS proceedings hint at the possibility that they charge a
huge fixed amount and then actually pay Dell et al for each copy of an MS
OS that they install on a PC. Sounds incredible but ...

PS: if I were you I would buy from a samll shop which puts together what
you want and without any OS so you can install linux for free.

ready mades have all kinds of 'extra' problems (IMNSHO)
Yours sounds like a 'corner-cutting, limited, substandard' motherboard
as found in most all ready mades.
I use a p3-450 at 608mhz (oc'd). With hlts enabled the cpu's
internal core stays at about 22 to 27C, and goes to 43 to 44C under
extreme load (cpuburn). Without halts your cpu's gonna run hotter
and most all ready mades have minimal cpu cooling. So get lm_sensors
and keep and eye on it. Problem is you might not be able to, as most
ready made motherboards leave the SMB/i2c chip off to save a buck
or two.

I'm running OS2 with it's BootManager together with DOS and Linux
Mandrake 7.
First make a partition for Linux under OS2 and declare it to the
BootManager.
Then install your Mandrake into this partition, in my case it was
/dev/hda5, and dont forget to install lilo in this partition too and not
into the MBR.
Then you should be able to start your LInux directly from the
Bootmanager's menu !
Hope it helps

Subject: Can a 486 handle PPPoE + ipMASQ for 3 comps ?
Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2000 10:27:38 -0400
Hello,
I'm considering getting Bell Sympatico 's hse service. I've got 4
computers at present in a little lan , and they masq through the 486 , which
is currently using a 56K dialup.
I am considering using Sympatico, but the pppoe has me wondering if my old
486 can handle it.
It's a 486 66mhz with 8MB ram and a 500 MB hdd. WOuld this be sufficient to
masquerade 3 computers at the same time?
Or would it be fine for atleast 2 computers to masq through at the same time
. My searches indicate that the roaring penguin pppoe client is the most
recommended one out there, and I will be using it. Would any one know what
if any ) would the throughput difference be between using the rp-pppoe as a
user app and compiling it into the kernel ?
Or is it that the processor is fine but the memory is insufficient ?
Services that are disabled :
samba ,xfs, nfs, named, apmd, pcmcia ( despite the warning in the install
program, things are fine ), gpm, unnecessary getty's , arp, and a host of
others that I'd not installed when I installed Linux .
TIA

The short answer is they can't use 'win' hardware in the Linux
box. Going a little further, Dell (most ready mades) spec their
motherboards (usually Intel), and leave as much stuff off as they
can get away with, and also try and put as much 'on-board' as they
can get away with (eg, graphics, sound, modem, etc) to get the cheapest
price per 1000.
I'd suspect in the linux box, they have to use a real modem, and
can't use their usual substandard spec'd version for the motherboard.
This would also force them to use a 'regular' power supply instead of
their usual proprietary junk.
Maybe you can tell I believe any ready made (Dell, Gateway, etc)
is a BAD choice ;->

No surprise. This app is a well-known memory-hog, and it will eat

Why ? The Linux memory management is so much better than that of all
MS-originated ones that you really don't have to care about that. You
shelled out quite some money for the 64 MB you have installed - do
you want to have all that memory laying around unused ?

Run, yes. But certainly not with XFree86 running (at least, not in
a useable state).

Don't run XFree86 with less than 64 MB at all.
Some distributions even won't install with less than 32 MB at all; it
mainly depends on the installation routines used (e.g.; SuSE uses a
really HUGE ramdisk during the installation, which will cause lots
of trouble if you run it on a machine with less than 48 MB RAM).
Once installed, however, the pure Linux system will run on 8MB - 16 MB
just fine. It depends, of course, on what apps you're running and what
services you do need.

A colleague did a similar comparison a while back and found that
the Dell with Linux installed was cheaper than the one with
Windows installed. But why Dell prices things the way it does
may be hard to understand. Because they have many fewer people
buying machines with Linux, it may cost them more to configure
machines with Linux and to support them after. For example,
because the hardware is optimized for Windows at least cost,
it may require some work to get Linux to work. Or it may be that
they can get away with charging more because of demand.
One alternative, or course, is to order the exact same machine
with Windows, delete it, and install Linux oneself.

Do yourself a big favor. Go to http://www.pricewatch.com/ and
search 'hardware modem'. You'll get back dozens starting from $35.
Be careful with the cheaper ones tho. An exception to this is the Phoebe
built around the Texas Instruments chipset (~ $40). It is a very good
modem and compares favorably to the 3com/USR modems that cost > $100.
Even if you do get that 'linmodem' working, it'll never perform
as well as a real modem.
