Subject: Consequences of a new kernel
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 13:11:24 GMT
When 2.4 is available I want to upgrade to take advantage of USB
support. However, I am unsure about the the *consequences* of installing
a new kernel.
Obviously, the OS has been built upon a particular kernel API.
Therefore, a new kernel can break the installed system by changing the
API.
So the question is, how do I quantify the impact of a new kernel and
identify the affected sources?

Subject: DDS compression
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 13:30:04 GMT
Hi,
I know that this has been asked before, without answer, but I will try
again.
Does anyone know how to check if a DDS2 (or any DDS) drive is set for
Hardware compression? And to turn it on or off?
I have tried 'mt -f /dev/st1 compression' (st1 is correct) and get
input/output error. the datcompression command is not implemented in the
version of mt I have.

The Content-Type in the script is correct.
My ISP allows you to run CGI scripts locally
inside the public_html directory.
The error message tells me nothing in the browser,
the error message in the error_log is:
"premature end of script" . I originally put the cgi scripts in
the designated cgi bin but they didn't work, giving the same error.
The book indicates you can create a .htaccess file in the local directory
to override and allow local cgi's. It also said that you could do so in
the httpd.conf file.
I read about 50 different messages this year of people having the same
problem, I tried every suggestion given and still no luck. I also have not
seen any indication that anyone ever solved the problem.
This is a pretty basic function, someone must know how to fix it!

Hi,
I've just been through the installation process for Red Hat 6.2, but
when I rebooted it got as far as 'Verifying DMI Pool Data' then gives me
screenfulls of scrolling '01's forever.
Anyone seen this before? Did I install LILO in the wrong place or
something?
thanks,

Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2000 19:19:41 +0530
I have Red Hat 6.2 installed in my 12MB RAM, 486 66Mhz. I am trying to
configure a PPP dial in to my server through an external Hayes 33.6 modem
on com 2 with uugetty. I have checked my modem and it will dial out in dos
if i run
echo at dt 123456 >com2
When i reboot or type init q, I keep on getting an error saying:
Id S1 respawining too fast. Disabled for 5 minutes
This repeats every 5 min and the modem dial in does not work.
Can someone tell me what i should do to get rid of this error
I made the following modifications to my files in /etc/ppp
options:
lock
netmask 255.255.255.0
proxyarp
ms-dns 192.168.111.10
ttyS1:
192.168.111.10:192.168.111.55
pap.secrets:
* jughead.my domain name"" *
in /etc , i added the following line to inittab:
S1:2345:respawn:/sbin/uugetty -D /etc/conf.uugety.ttyS1 ttyS1 f38400
and made a file in /etc named conf.uugetty.ttyS1 with the following
contents:
# sample uugetty configuration file for a Hayes compatible modem to allow
# incoming modem connections
#
# alternate lock file to check... if this lock file exists, then uugetty is
# restarted so that the modem is re-initialized
ALTLOCK=cua3
ALTLINE=cua3
# line to initialize

1: Have you tried simply copying a plain text file to /dev/lp0?
2: What are you using? LPRng?
3: Have you done a checkpc? Have you done a checkpc -f?
4: After doing that, have you closed down lpd and restarted it?
5: Have you checked your /etc/printcap file?
6: Go to the /var/spool/lpd/lp (is that right?) and look at the files
there (they should pretty much all be text files you can examine).
7: What type of file are you printing? Plain text or PostScript?
8: Does the printer support postscript?
9: I had a problem with my printer, in that it kept giving me an error
about not getting a status response. Turn it off. For example, I have
an HP600 and have the following line in my printcap.
:ifhp=model=djet500,status@
where the "status@" line turns off the status request.
A: If you are printing postscript, and the printer does not support it,
have you set up GhostScript as a filter? Have you made it an
executable script?
B: etc.

I have a HP 1534 (?) tapedrive which has a jumper for compression. This acts
as default. With this jumper I can choose to compress by default or not.
Standard tape backup will use this setting without further software control.
HTH.

1: Do you have a directory /floppy/?
(I have one at /mnt/floppy/)
2: What format is the floppy? What is the default in /etc/fstab?
If you want to mount a floppy of a different type, you need
the -t (type) switch.
3: Unless you are in the base directory (/), you should use
ls /floppy
For Linux floppies I can use:
mount /dev/fd0
(my /etc/fstab file will automatically put those in /mnt/floppy)
But for DOSish disks, I have support for DOS, MSDOS and VFAT compiled in
(without that there is no support for DOSish disks) and use:
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
There is a manual page on mount (use "man mount").
