Hi all,
Can anyone tell me whether the Dump command supports
the hardware compression on my HP C1554A Dat tape drive?
I don't think I'm getting anywhere near the 24gb that I
should be able to get onto these DDS3 tapes. Any info
would be greatly appreciated! RH Linux6.2

Yes. A free market implies lots of buyers and sellers.
BUT.......
It never implies that anybody can sell anything which they don't own, or
created, or have legal title to.
That's why you cannot sell stolen property in Harrod's, or set up shop
on Union Street, or the Piccadily Square; or put up a booth right
outside of 10, Downing Street, in London.
If you try to set up a booth right outside of 10, Downing Street to sell
stolen property. I'm sure Tony will have a few choiced words with you,
and have you escorted away by Bobbies. ;-)

First, you don't quite have it right. Lilo does not normally write
to the first sector of the Windows partition. If it were set up that
way, Windows wouldn't boot. Normally, one puts the lilo boot loader
in the master boot record, which is the first sector on the disk
and outside all partitions. I assume that is what you meant.
If you reinstall windows, it is quite possible that the windows
installer will overwrite part of the master boot record containing
lilo, but it is highly unlikely it will affect the partition table
which is also contained in the MBR.
To do what you want, make sure you have a Linux boot floppy. If
you don't have one from the Linux installation, where it should
have been made by default, use the command mkbootdisk. Do
man bootdisk to check its syntax. But if for example you have
the kernel vmlinuz-2.2.12-20, the form of the command is
/sbin/mkbootdisk 2.2.12-20
If you don't know the number of your kernel, look in /boot or
run
uname -r
Before your proceed, check that the boot floppy actually works.
But be warned that with many recent BIOSs, the routine for loading
the kernel seems to take for ever to start. Give it ten minutes
to be sure.
After you have reinstalled windows, boot Linux from the floppy
and run
/sbin/lilo
That should put the lilo boot loader back in the MBR.
Before you do anything else, you might use the Linux command
fdisk -l
or
fdisk -l /dev/hda
(assuming you have one IDE hard drive).
This will list the partition table information. Write down
this information just in case you have to reestablish the partition
table for some reason. In some situations you can do this with
a rescue system run in ramdisk.

Does tax deductability work differently in the US?
Here, you deduct it from your taxable income, not the tax you pay.
So at best you save the tax that would be paid on the amount, not the
amount.
The costs must count, else who would bother pirating? And plenty of
businesses *do* pirate, ask any of the vendor's associations.
The choice of linux v MS isn't money, I agree. It's what software is
best for the job.
And that's a very individual decision.
THe company I work for has one windows machine for checking the
Director applications work correctly and we have the installer
working.
Everything else is Mac or Linux. Mac because it's best for the
graphics people and Linux running the servers - mail and web. Plus
linux in all the remote locations because it is efficient and can be
remotely administered.

PPP is driving me nuts!!!
I have a ppp account with concentric networks. I use windows NT and
linux. I'd like to not have to use NT anymore, but For the life of me I
just can't seem to get the dialup to work under linux. I first tried
the graphical dialers, (e.g., rp3, etc.) all they would do is lock up
the modem, requiring a reboot. SO next I started writing my own scrips
with chat. All seemed good. Now here is the WEIRD part...
When I set up a dialup connection in NT and and enter my login and
password, everything connects fine (in fact I'm using it now). However,
if I try to login manually using the NT dialup networking, or I try to
login using hyperterminal, it always rejects my username and password.
I've checked and double checked to make sure I'm doing it right. WHY
does it work with the automated NT Dialer, but not with a manual
dialin!!!

I thought the later kernel (shipped with RH 6.2) did support Lanstreamer.
But I've gotten TR cards to work without specifying io and irq... did you
try that? I don't know which of the TR cards was inside, however.

How/Why money cannot be owned?
If you've created something, anything, and people likes it, they pay you
money for it, or for a copy of it. Then, you've *EARNED* that money, and
that money belongs to you. You have every legal title over that money.
Or if your parents have earned the money, and passed it down to you,
then, you have inherented the money bevause of your parents. Even if you
didn't work for it yourself.
That money is still yours. And you're the legal owner of that money.

Wrong again. The bank NEVER OWNED the money. The money is owned by
depositors, and leave it their under "TRUSTS". And allowing the bank to
invest the deposited money, but give some interests back to those who
deposited the money as a reward/return, and promise try to keep their
money safe.

Yes, ideas are being stolen all the time, and nothing can really be done
about it.
But, when the idea has became a tangible item, like written down as a
piece of software, a music score, or something that you can actually
sell to an audience, then, that idea has an owner. - The person who has
created it out from thin air.

Subject: mkbootdisk and vmlinuz images

OK, here's a question I have had for a while and now need
answered. I usually compile and install my own kernels (via
buildkernel), creating bzImages when complete. Trying to run
mkbootdisk, it requires a vmlinuz-x.x.x kernel.
How does one create a vmlinux kernel from a bzImage kernel?
Can I simply rename my bzImage-2.2.16-6 to vmlinuz-2.2.16-6
or can I create a symlink from the bzImage to a vmlinuz
name?
I am getting ready to reinstall windoze on my system and
need a proper, updated boot disk for linux to reactivate
lilo so I now have a need to run mkbootdisk.
