Then mount /dev/sdXY on /mnt/zip, no problem. X refers to the letter of
the SCSI disk (will be "a" unless you have another SCSI hard disk
somewhere) and Y refers to the partition number (usually 4, could be
1.) ZIP drives made after 1998 use the imm module instead of the ppa one,
you're right, but I've had no problems with kernel 2.2.14 and parport
ZIPs. Look at http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/ZIP.html for more info.

Did you get cut off in the middle of posting, or what? If you're having
problems with imm in particular, more details would be helpful.

This came up earlier today. Since you're posting using Outhouse on a Mac,
I assume you're wanting something for Linux PPC, which cuts down the
choices even more wrt graphics. (PCs have SVGAlib at least; Macs
don't.) You will probably not have any luck--MPEG decoding in software is
resource-intensive, and if your machine doesn't have enough power to run
X, it certainly won't have enough power to run an MPEG decoder like mtv or
mpeg_play. That said, there is a framebuffer X server available.
Check http://freshmeat.net/ and search for "MPEG player", cutting out
those which use X. Good luck....

You haven't read the man page for mount. "man mount", paying particular
attention to the options for a VFAT filesystem. Since VFAT doesn't know
about permissions, all permissions are set at mount time, and the default
options make it so that the umask is 022 and all files are owned by the
mounting user's UID and GID. If you mount the drive with "mount -t vfat
/dev/sda2 /mnt/win98 -o umask=002,uid=0,gid=users" then things will work
better.

Take another look at the error message. ssh-blah-us is installed, not
ssh-blah-us_glibc20.i386, and you know how picky computers are about exact
names. Try "rpm -e ssh-1.2.27-7us" or compile the silly thing from

Not at the moment, at least not easily. If the data in the directories
consisted of text files, you *might* have a look at
http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Ext2fs-Undeletion.html and do what it says.
Anyway, make regular backups (you DO have a backup device, don't you?) and
be very careful when you delete things. Unix assumes you mean what you
say when you do an rm -rf , and the multi-user nature of Unix means that
unlinked files are considered free disk space and can and will be
overwritten when anything needs disk space.

This is, as you said, tough to answer! It depends on the specific RPM
packages that you're talking about, and where you get the packages
from. SuSE has a pretty huge archive of RPMs designed specifically for
SuSE at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/ , and for commercial packages like Oracle,
they even offer patch files to improve installation ease-of-use and fix
minor bugs that crop up because of differences between RH and SuSE.
Personally, I've had excellent luck installing "Designed for RedHat" RPMs
with rpm --nodeps -Uvh package.rpm on a reasonably up-to-date SuSE
system. Also, remember that SuSE's boxed set has 6 CDs full of
applications, *double* what RedHat ships with.
Don't forget that you can get the source tarball and just ./configure &&
make && make install in 90% of cases. It takes longer, but people who've
been around the Unix block swear by this--no irritating dependencies, and
the executable is tuned for your system.

If you know nothing, the best cure is to learn something!
http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html for starters.
Assuming that cdrecord is compiled properly and has been installed SUID
root ("ls -l `which cdrecord`" should show the permissions on the file
as rwsr-xr-x) then you'd do this:
cdrecord -scanbus
and get something like
Cdrecord 1.8 (i586-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 J�rg Schilling
Using libscg version 'schily-0.1'
scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'IOMEGA ' 'ZIP 100 ' '12.A' Removable Disk
0,1,0 1) 'PHILIPS ' 'PCA460RW ' '1.0f' Removable CD-ROM
0,2,0 2) *
Hmm, that "0,1,0" looks a lot like the dev=X,Y,Z syntax that cdrecord
likes for its dev= parameter. So then, to record an ISO image onto a
CD, I'd do:
cdrecord -v dev=0,1,0 speed=4 cdimage.iso
The X,Y,Z syntax refers to SCSI-Bus, Target, and LUN. Each SCSI
controller in a machine comprises one bus, usually. Each SCSI device on
a bus has a unique SCSI ID, here referred to as a "target". A few
things like CD-ROM changers have multiple Logical Unit Numbers, as they
can have several slots, each with a CD. Most devices have only one LUN,
LUN 0. HTH,

Subject: PCI bus information access
Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2000 15:57:35 -0400
I'm rather new to Linux (4 weeks) and will need to be writing a small
program that will allow a user to query the PCI bus, choose a PCI device,
and be able to get/alter/set the values in the configuration register(s) for
a particular card (we'll be doing this to do some testing on a card we are
developing).
Under Windows NT, I had to write a separate device driver to access the bus
information, and separate application to do the editing/displaying of the
data. Is this also true of Linux? or are there calls I can make to
directly access the PCI bus information from a "regular" Linux application
(and where would they be)?
I'm just starting to read the "Linux Device Drivers" book, but I'd like to
try to avoid digging into this if I can do this stuff from a normal
application.
As an added bonus, would anybody out there know of any such utility that I
might use as a starting point/example?

Have you tried the manual, man awk(1) ? Also, you may get quicker
responses posting to comp.lang.awk .
If your file has tab-separated fields with first and last names as
separate fields, then awk will parse each input line (record) into
fields for you. I'll give you the first, but you should try to figure
out the second based on the manual.

I found drivers for the ATI All In Wonder video boards.
The board I'm using is the All In Wonder Pro PCI 8Mb. Rage 64 chipset. The
software is XATITV or ATITV .
The drivers for the Mach 64 video install with the distribution and then you
have to do a search for the software. The TV tuner portion is supported as
well as full screen and background video display. There is also a good
compliment of command utilities.
I haven't fully tested the capture functions or tried the software with more
current AGP or 16Mb boards. But this one seems to work well so far.
I'm sure that there are other capture type boards of better and worse
quality that work as well, and I'm interested in hearing more about those
and the software that runs them.
