Hey y'all
I've got another problem here, this tme not w/ Samba wich ended up working
great, but with the console itself, this is what happens: i boot up, and
then i log in w/ telnet from my windows:
and agfter i while my connection drops and the linuxmachine doesn't respond
to any input anymore, from keyboard or mouse. it's an old P2 333 w/ 64 mb
and two Quantum HD's, i run RH 6 w/ kernel 2.2.5 and samba 2.0.6.
i know this isn't the greatest computer, but i wanted to fool around w/
linux and so i got it out of my basement and got it to work, till now..
if anybody knows if it's a software problem, or simple outdated old, crappy
software? please let me know.
thnx
Jule

I would guess the user you logged in as does not have permission to

PCI cards can share interrupts. for example,

Subject: How to set a user's TRAFFIC QUOTA??
Hi,
I know i can set a user's quota to limit the amount of disk space she is
using, but how do i set a quota to limit the network traffic a user's
website is generating? Say, i want to limit the traffic usage for each
of my users to 1 GB/month, and after that, it's not possible for pages
to load anymore (for this particular user). How do i set this limit? I
assume this is a fairly common thing to do, yet i couldn't find any
information about it in the various guides and how-to's i've been
looking at.
I'm using Apache as the webserver. Do i have to set the limit in one of
the configuration files?
Thanks a lot! Please also mail me the answer, since i don't check this
newsgroup on a regular basis.

Ctrl Alt Del is to reboot the machine. From the graphic mode it may do funny things
if it is trapped.
When netscape crashes and you don't seem to be able to get a new xterm just
press on ctrl F2 and login again. Type "killall -9 netscape"
then cd ~/.netscape and rm lock

You're not clear as to where you installed Linux but I assumed that it was
the second drive. In that case, no you wouldn't winblows to see that drive
unless you enjoy reinstalling Linux everytime winblows goes nuts. Anyhow you
would need a special driver to see an ext2 partition.
By the way we don't mesure hard drives in milligrams but in bytes.

Yes, but it is tuned more toward minimizing head contention on a
multi-user system instead of pre-reading huge files. The idea is
to read a whole track in one revolution so you don't have to seek
back there after another operation happens on a different track
and moves the head before the application is ready for more.

mounting a CD will close the tray if it is open.
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
umount /mnt
Will close an open CD tray and then attempt to mount it. Put the two

AHA! I think this has exposed a bug in the Mandrake 7.2 beta distribution.
One of many, I assure you. While the libc5 libraries are installed,
ld-linux.so.1 is missing.
I will track down a copy and see if I can resume shooting.

place the following in .Xresources or .Xdefault
Xterm.*font: 10x20
.Xresources is a one time load event when you starup the window manager.
.Xdefaults is loaded on every xterm window.
For more info
man X
man xterm
For list of fonts, xlsfonts
