That was the entry I was looking at. It was all greyed out.
I at last noticed I was always looking at the tab when the vm was
running. I chose that when it was off and was able to install sound.
When restarting my virtual Win2K there still was no sound but managed
to install by the usual means in Win2K.
Further experimentation showed that I can play my music CDs. The
pinball game crashed though. As did subsequent restarts. I'll play
around with this a bit more.

Time to spend a few more dollars on my system...and I want a CD burner.
I don't have a SCSI card on the system just now, so I'm wondering if the
IDE burners are going to be okay under Linux? Any recommendations or
warnings appreciated.
Thanks!

OpenBSD (www.openbsd.org) is not linux, but a BSD version, you will need this
one for security. For speed you will need FreeBSD, for multiple platforms
support you will neet NetBSD. Just read some articles in the thread about
those three from about 4 days ago.

Subject: Two network cards on same subnet
Date: Sat, 01 Jul 2000 18:08:58 +0100
Hi Guys,
System specs:
RH 6.1/6.2, Intel Pro 100+ cards (mb intergated/add-on card), kernel
2.2.14 (I
will upgrade to 2.2.16) w/multicasting enabled
Situation I:
I have some servers with two network cards in each to have some redundancy and
if I set up both cards to be on the same subnet (192.168.0.0) and same
address/different address then if I unplug the cable from the first card (eth0)
that box stops reaching the network until I plug is back.
Question I:
Is there any solution to make the two cards work in parallel?
Situation II:
Same setup, as above, but I down the eth0 and only use eth1 to access the
network. I want to use IP multicast on them/this. I set up the 224.0.0.0 network
to be routed though the eth1 (route add -net 224.0.0.0/4 dev eth1) then ping
224.0.0.1 does not give back any replies. If I up the eth0 (nothing else is
changed!) everything work fine and all the machines replies (NOTE: the network
is working OK with eth1 only, and I can ping any normal IP address on the net or
connect to any machine!!!!).
Question II:
Is this a bug/feature in Linux kernel?
I'm not a newbie, but I'm on a tight schedule and I don't have too much time
to read all the docs again (I've dealt Linux before, but for the past 4 years I
dealt with Win9x mainly). So if the answers are in one or more of the
FAQs/HowTos/Guides shipping with standard distros or found on the net then just
reply RTFM and the manuals containing the answers (ULRs too).
TIA, Morc.

Subject: CDRecord Problems
Date: Sat, 01 Jul 2000 13:14:51 -0500
I've been trying to figure this one out. After making a complete set of
coasters for the coffee table, I thought there may have been a hair in
the drive because the copies seemed to keep dying in about the same spot
32% into the copy.
I then tried making a cd with mp3 files to fifo's (mp3burn). After about
the 5th track, same problem occurred. Then once the drive received this
error, the only reset that works is cycling the power on the machine.
Setup:
CDRecord v1.9a03 (happened on v1.9a02 and prior) Slackware 7.0 (kernel
2.2.13) Ricoh 6200A drive (firmware 2.40) SCSI emulation compiled into
kernel

I was ready to toss my drive thinking the burner was bad. :) Well, I did
find a few cat hairs in which I extracted from inside the drive (stuck on
that white grease). The laser lens appears to be fine - no dust
particles.
I thought it might have been a physical error because the burns seemed to
keep crashing in the same spot - over and over. I changed the order of
MP3's to see if it may have been a corrupt MP3 causing havoc. Same
results.
I have an older version of CDRecord that I will try next.
BTW, using the 1.9a02 version worked flawlessly - I made audio, data, and
duplicates. It was during the 3rd copy of a CD that the problem occurred.
2 copies worked fine, then anything after that died. Since then I have
not been able to make a complete CD.
Can this be a space problem? Tmp file space?
Any help would greatly be appreciated. :) Thanks. Im off to get a CD
coaster holder :P err.. I mean a CDR pack.

Hi, that sounds very like what was going on with my Compaq 1580
150mmx after I installed Caldera 1.3 kernel 2.0.35 and *no* apm
at all since Col does not support apm out of the box.
It was a trial linux run on it using a then in hand cd and to
not get into mbr headaches using floppy or loadlin booting..
Like your case all of a sudden the screen would blank out
and hard drive stop spinning. Just like a sleep state.
And this also seemed to have begun quite a bit after the initial
installation ie when I started to use it on battery only.
My only guess is that the bios-pnp combo somehow changes some
setting which worked under dos/win since it was designed
to but did not work right with a different o/s. Or the old
apm settings from win suddenly kicked in with the o/s change.
The fix was accidentally easy. Since I did want apm to work
I reinstalled with kernel 2.2.5 RedHat 6 and bingo it works
perfectly. But a caveat- I have not tried loadlin yet! Only
floppy and lilo. And I don't recall if all worked well or not
booting with a floppy with the Col install.
Have you tried a different booting ie are you using loadlin
by any chance and vs. That can change bios-pnp. Or disable
pnp altogether if possible? Good luck.

I have exactly the same problem: the plugins does not work under netscape.
However, realplayer works outside netscape. You can play any sound file with it.
I didn't try video files, but I thinks it works too.
If someone has an idea to make the plugin works, I am really interested too.

Subject: CDRecord Problem
Date: Sat, 01 Jul 2000 13:28:55 -0500
I've been experiencing the same problem a lot of others seem to be having
with CDRecord. At first, I thought it was my CD burner, because it kept
dying about 30% into a burn. I disassembled the drive, checking for cat
hairs or dust. Found 2 and removed them thinking that may have been the
cause.
Tried CDRecord again, same errors. Checked for a possible firmware
problem on Ricoh site, but nothing new. Decided to check the newsgroups
and found lots of people have the same problem I was. Phew! Its not the
drive (hopefully).
Here is the setup:
CDRecord v1.9a03 (also v1.9a02 and v1.8.1)
Ricoh 6200A (4.20)
Slackware 7.0 (2.2.13)
AMD K6-3 450 (96MB RAM)
Lots of space on the hard drives.
Any help on how to resolve this would greatly be appreciated. Is it
something new? I noticed the problem occured after I was using XCDRoast
0.98 (?) version to duplicate a data CD. After the 2nd successful copy,
something happened, 30% thru the next burn the drive locked up and has not
been the same since. After about losing about 10 CDRs I thought it may
have been physical. After cleaning, I lost 2 more. I began running dummy
tests, the first one went thru 15 of 16 tracks, the 16th it locked up.
Then I tried again, this time it made it to 5 tracks (like the real write
mode) and died. After it dies, it then won't allow any access until the
system's power is cycled.

First cd to /etc/rc.d/init.d
Some distros let you use chkconfig for this. If you don't have one
of those, cd to /etc/rc.d and do and ls.
You will see a number of rc.? directories: rc.1, rc.2, etc.
Either remove the sendmail links in those directories or change the
upper case "S" to a lowercase S to disable the startup of sendmail.
You can leave the K entries if you want.

But you would need a proper MX record in DNS for your domain for that
to work. OR the advertised service would have to forward mail to you
automatically.

' With most, but certainly not all. My own provider (Speakeasy) explicitly
' allows servers within certain parameters (for instance, no porn sites).
Ok, most. Any ISP that censors content on a server wouldn't get my
business.
' None of which should be taken as condoning the original advertisement
' or endorsement of the advertised service.
Of course not. And I intended to slam the advertised service as hard
as I could. Commercial SDSL accounts can be had for less than $100 /
month. That is well within the budget of a small office / home
office. It is even within the budget for personal use. I guess it
really depends on the sort of phone bills you are used to paying. You
also get a proper pipe for low bandwidth traffic. Best of all, you
can register a domain so that you can have a proper host name instead
of using an IP address.

It's been a while since I looked at the POP3 rfc, but I don't seem to
recall anything in it to get the age of a message. Sure, you could
top it and look at the date header.
Personally, I don't like to leave my mail on a POP3 server. That is
what IMAP4 is for. Different strokes.

There is no such thing as enough computer.

You have gotten lots of advice about the append command,
and that may solve your problem. But recent kernels should
be able to see all the memory. If your kernel can't, it
could be a problem with your BIOS. Look at your setup
program (which you can run immediately before booting).
It may be that you can resolve the problem by changing some
option. You might also find out if there is an upgrade to
your BIOS.
