It's very hard to determine whether one has had a similar problem when you
don't say what happened (hint: "I got an error" isn't an adequate problem
description).
Do you have the as86 program installed? I believe it's in the bin86 RPM.
If linux is the only OS going on your disk your current LILO should work
fine, as long as your kernel is on the first 1024 cyls. Make a small (30MB
is enough) partition as the first partition on the disk, put all of /boot
in it, and mount it on /boot. I've actually got four OSes (linux, win95,
winNT, and BeOS) booting on one 13GB disk, all while staying within the
1024 cylinder limit.

Compared to what? No one should try to put a 'very big' cluster
of anything into production without some research and testing.
Linux works in general and its users tend to be open about
sharing their experiences. I'm not sure you can draw any
conclusions from that about some specific application.

Assuming you are doing something where someone else is likely
to experience (and possibly solve) the same problems, increasing
numbers increases the odds that the question has already
been asked and answered, so a dejanews search will find
it immediately. More specific things like individual applications
are often discussed in more detail on mailing lists than
in news and increased numbers don't show up there to
the same extent. Most of these have searchable archives
so the same thing applies about questions that have already
been answered.

It is pretty common for people to ask questions (and answer
them) from a personal ISP account without revealing their
affiliation(s).

The INSTALL file in the alsa-lib directory says:
If ./configure command complain that alsa-driver package isn't
installed, please, check if --prefix option is same for alsa-driver and
alsa-lib package. The configure script from alsa-lib package probably
cannot find header file asound.h in $prefix/include/linux directory

asound.h is installed when you install the alsa-driver. Did you run
"make install" in the alsa-driver directory before trying to run
./configure in the alsa-lib directory?

Look into using Samba, lets you share drives and printers. This assumes
that you have some kind of home lan setup. O'Reilly Publishing has a
good book on it and I sure there is a HOW-TO on the subject.

I think, it seems that it is only the new easy graphical install.
I am a linux newbie, and haven't used no other packages before Mandrake.
After reading about "how easy it is for a newbie to get in the Linux world
with Mandrake..." , I finally dared to jump in.
But...
It is easy and looks nice , alright, but I got NO devices working with those
settings that Mandrake offered me.
I usually don�t give up too easy, and so I had to learn the basics of it to
get it working at least somehow...
After managing to compile a new kernel, it start rolling...
So, Mandrake may be a newbie distro, if someone happens to have JUST THAT
machine, which Drake can configure right!
Although, all the needed programs won�t be installed anyway...

Every time I am running Netscape it is freezing my system. First, the
system slows way down, then after about ten second freezes. The
keyboard doesn't respond, I can't exit x-windows with
cntrl-alt-backspace, and I can't even telnet into the computer from
another machine on the network. After years of running linux with
almost no system crashes, this is now bringing down the computer
everytime.
Any ideas? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? Or do I just do a
windows type solution and reinstall netscape??

I would put lilo in MBR and use it to boot both linux and NT4. Assuming
NT4 boot partition is /dev/hda1, linux on /dev/hda6, and kernel image
/boot/vmlinuz, lilo.conf would look something like:
boot = /dev/hda
prompt
timeout = 1200
vga = normal
image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/hda6
label = Linux read-only
other = /dev/hda1

Well, FWIW I've found Usenet to be a very useful technical resource since I
started using it in the early 1980s. I've gotten a lot of help and also
helped many others. (It works both ways.) I see no reason this won't
continue, though of course today one has to wade through a lot more crap
than in the old days.

I've installed Linux Mandrake 7.1 and I've found that the SMP kernel

the RedHat app "kudzu". I would like to disable "kudzu" from the boot
process to see if that's what is really causing the hang-up. Where

it could very well be a case sensitivity problem...
although, I've noticed that linux tends to ignore case when dealing with FAT.
I've used cd /winderz/win98/My\ Documents
and I've used cd/winderz/win98/my\ documents
I get into the dir either way.
But my suggestion, boot to windoze, rename the DIR with capslock on..........
it may or may not DISPLAY in all caps on windoze, but it makes a minor notation
in the filesystem about the capitalization that linux will read when displaying
filenames..... for me it never uses it for more than display purposes, but these
ARE computers we're talking about. What do we expect, LOGIC?!

You have raised some very important matters. In a community
of mutual support, everyone with a question must first try
to find the answer on their own, second by asking their col-
leagues, and only third by asking the community at large.
People must also give help to others.
For a company to avoid leeching off the Linux community, I
think it must do the following things (many of which apply
to users in general):
o Buy and use a boxed set of a good Linux distribution, so
a good manual is available for it. Keep it handy in a
central place for all users.
o Buy at least six good books on Linux and keep them avail-
able in the same place. Have a sign-out sheet so people
can find them when they've disappeared.
o Set up an internal News (NNTP) server for company use only,
with a few newsgroups for Linux support.
o Set up an internal company website containing pointers to
various external documentation sites (like the Linux
Documentation Project -- LDP), and a company Linux support
FAQ page (in HTML) that is kept up to date responsibly by
one or more people.
o Make sure everyone's computer is set up with a newsreader
and web browser pointed to the above.
o Anyone who has a question about Linux must do *all* of the
following before (and hopefully, instead of) posting it
to the Linux community Usenet groups:
o Look in the company Linux support FAQ web page.
o Look up the topic in the distro manual and in those six
or more Linux books.
o Search the company Linux support newsgroups.
o Read the relevant man pages, HOW-TOs, FAQs, etc., on their
computer, on the LAN, or on the Web.
o Do an http://www.google.com/linux web search. Learn how
to use the simple operators -- "", +, -, etc., in order
to search effectively.
o Do a DejaNews "power" search. Learn how to use the boolean
operators to search effectively.
o Ask other people in the company who might know, verbally
or by posting to one or more company support newsgroups.
o Post to a Linux community newsgroup *only* after conscien-
tiously doing *all* of the above and having no success.
o When you get an answer that works, put it in the company
FAQ (or get the maintainer(s) to), and post it to the
company newsgroup(s).
o Each Linux user in the company should spend time helping
less knowledgeable users, for example by answering ques-
tions posted in the internal company support newsgroups
and by adding items to the FAQ.
o Each knowledgeable Linux user in the company should spend
time answering questions in the external -- community --
Usenet newsgroups.
o Make sure everyone in the company gets a copy of this
document, and keeps it handy. 8^)

More features, absurdly buggy.

Quote what you're replying to (at least the relevant part).
All of the computers are connected to a hub which is connected
to the campus LAN which is connected to the Internet, right?
You'll need to segment that part of the network off by placing
a proxy between the hub and the campus LAN, as stated by Joeri.
Otherwise, the security can be very easily circumvented. How
do you think a proxy works?

Hi,
Sorry if I this question has been asked...
I have a dual boot box with Linux/W98. I am planning to buy a printer
that works on linux. I know that there are some win printers that do
not work on linux.
I am looking at spending something around $100. Can someone that has
gone through this phase, update his experiences here so that would
benefit me and others too.
Thanks in advance.

Whoops.. after reading the other reply, I realized I read the
original message incorrectly.
Usually the default doesn't allow directory indexing.
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
Then you add it by directory or use -Index as stated by the
other poster to disable it selectively if you've allowed it
as the default.
