I have the same Zoom modem and it works like a champ--not the USB version
right? It IS pnp, and is found easily in Windows. What you must do for it
to be pnp is to install the drivers first, then reboot. When you come back
up, the system recogs the modem and it installs the drivers. Easy to
configure. For *NIXs, it is even easier--specifiy your PPP settings and you
are good. It took me about 5 minutes to configure versus a stupid PNP
internal. Word of advice, leave as many devices non-pnp in *NIXs as
possible--this will save ENORMOUS amounts of time. This is provided they are
not found by the 'new hardware' boot up scripts.

hlt is a CPU instruction that Linux executes when the processor is idle.
This causes should cause it to go into a lower power mode until it is
needed again. Some processor brands don't handle this properly and cause
hangs like these. Just keep the no-hlt option in until you get a new
processor - it doesn't slow anything down so it's not worth buying a new
processor for.

I don't know about Gnome, but it's easy enough in KDE. First go
Settings->Applications->Panel->Desktops and select how many virtual
screens you want (up to 8). Then go Settings->Keys->Global Keys to
choose your keys for switching between desktops.
I imagine something similar is possible with Gnome.

As I understand it, every primary partition has a boot section, which
are the first 512 bytes of that partition (an extended partition is a
type of primary partition, although I don't think MS OS's will let you
put anything in its boot sector. The MBR is the master boot record and
this is the first 512 bytes of the entire disk. It contains the first
stage boot up code and I think also the partition table.
At this point I'm not too sure but what I think happens is that with a
default MBR, the BIOS will copy the MBR into memory on startup and the
code in the MBR then loads the boot sector from the first active
partition, which in turn loads the OS in that partition. Alternately you
might have a boot manager with some code in the MBR (I believe NT does
this) to select which partition you want to boot.

I don't know why you'd want them, but if you usually leave your computer
on (so the slocate job can run), try 'locate kdelnk | grep -i red'.
Otherwise, this will take a lot longer, but will be up-to-date: do 'find
/ -mount 2> /dev/null | grep kdelnk | grep -i red' (or something
similar).

If you don't have to use Borland, you could compile your app with
Cygwin (http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/). It has a library that
is highly Unix compatible, including sockets.

Subject: RAID 5 failure recovery
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 16:17:52 -0400
I recently installed my first RAID 5 set.
Almost predictably, I had a bad block develop on
one of the drives (probably from an unintentional
power down) and that drive got kicked out of the
RAID set, which sent me hunting for any
documentation on how to fix the problem.
What I found was rather disconcerting. The various
HOWTOs and other documents I found didn't mention
anything on RAID 5 error recovery and the description
of RAID 1 recovery confused me (at least partially
because it didn't mention that it applied to the
other RAID levels as well).
If someone is in a position to rewrite this stuff,
the following would be useful additions -
A method for verifying the integrity of the 'failed'
disk - in particular, how do you get a block that
got trashed (i.e. has a parity error) rewritten so it
doesn't mess up the RAID recovery procedure. (This
probably deserves a thread in the developers news
group or mailing list - advice on where to post
a discussion of this problem would be welcome.)
An explanation of the information in the /proc/mdstat
display. I could guess at some of the status displayed
there, but I wasn't sure and that caused problems.
Descriptions of the raidhotadd and raidhotremove
commands.
A note that rewriting the 'persistent superblock' may
(or may NOT) leave your file system intact. As the
documentation stands, it seems to say that the file
system will always be wiped out. (I could be wrong
on this point. I was a bit distracted while reading
this since I had a specific problem to solve. If this
is explained in some obscure corner of the document,
I could have easily missed it.)
A STRONG reminder to check the /var/log/messages file
for relevant information.

Thank you. Some one knows what they are talking about -- I not sure
about BIOS copying MBR into memory though. When the computer first
boots up, it looks for the first sector at cylinder 0, side 0 -- where
the first boot sector is located (called MBR). This sector (MBR)
contains a small code (IPL) that tells the computer how to boot. Win95
will replace this code, as does Win NT -- the program is responsible for
displaying OS's to choose from if you upgrade to NT from previous
versions of Windows, like LILO.
If you, Mr. Root, still insist that Win95/NT does not modify the MBR,
get a program that you know is going to modify the MBR, then install
WinNT. This should be evidence enough.

Okay. Thank you! This fix the problem of my huge files. DMA was
effectively disable. Now, the second problem i mentionned:
" When a program is executed, it takes 99% of the cpu (when it is alone)
and when the program require more than physical memory, swap partion
is used and the program slow down to 3% of the cpu time. "
still there and performance of heavy programs (450 megs of RAM and
more) will run like this for ever because they run too slow.
Do you have an idea?

I wonder if it is possible to use a CD RW driver without the

Subject: Routing problem: eth0 vs ppp0
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 13:37:49 -0700
I have a user with a laptop running RH6.1.
At work, he connects through eth0, and has a fixed IP address,
say 159.107.106.24.
At home, he connects to an ISP through a modem card using PPP.
The ISP gives him another fixed IP address, say 287.181.165.101.
Problem: from home, he can reach all the hosts at work on
159.107.*.* *except* those on 159.107.106.*. Why? because his
routing table routes any packets bound for 159.107.106.* through
eth0, not ppp0. And at home, eth0 isn't connected.
I've been told that his laptop is in fact functioning as a
router. I don't understand all the implications of that. Anyhow,
Seems to me that at home, he could use the route command to
explicitly delete 159.107.106.0 as a route, then any traffic to
159.107.106.* would take the default route through the ISP
gateway.
Can someone tell me if this is so?
And, is there some way to set up his network configuration so
it "does the right thing" when boots up at home, vs at work?

Hello !
I'm looking for a free x-windows client for windows NT/95/98.
I want to connect it to my Linux server.
Does anybody knows if such a program exists, except of programs like
reflection or exceed.
Thanks in advance
