Okay...tried this, and it works like a charm. Put it in a wrapper with a
shell script.
Named it loadzip.
#!/bin/sh
#Load Drivers for Zip drive.
insmod parport
insmod parport_pc
insmod ppa
If that runs good (which it has) then I just mount my zip drive, and away I
go.
Thanks all for your Help

Hello,
Basic networking Q: what would be the simplest way to network two Linux
computers? That is, among other things, be able to access each others'
files. I know this is very general, but I really have no idea where to
start; I want the simplest way. Also, what sort of cable would I use
for this? I'm speaking of regular Intel-based PCs here.
Any help or links to help is greatly appreciated,

I have the exact same problem with RH 6.0 (2.2.16 kernel). It appears to
occur only with large files. Still, I thought Linux was "one with the
Internet"...

This shouldn't be too hard. A spring-loaded contact switch should do
it.
The switch should be 'normally open', and placed in the centre of the
burner. It will close when a weight is placed on the burner, so you
now have an indicator that 'the pot is on the burner'. Add a spring,
so that the switch doesn't close unless there's a measured weight on
the burner (the measurement being the weight of a full pot of water),
and now the switch indicates that 'there is a full pot of water on the
burner'. If you use a two or three position switch, then you can have
more settings, based on the weight resting on the switch. For example,
with such a switch, and three 'on' positions (pass this into a two bit
encoder for you binary types), you get:
* OFF - No pot on burner
* ON 1 - Empty pot on burner
* ON 2 - Filled pot on burner
* ON 3 - Full pot on burner
You want the 'filled pot' indicator, because you don't want an
incompletely filled pot to indicate as empty. The difference in weight
between 'Empty' and 'Filled' can be minimal.

Subject: The Truth About the Kursk Disaster
Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 02:19:09 -0500
Some new information has come to light over the Kursk disaster. For
those with short attention spans, the Kursk was the submarine that blew
up and sank in the Artic Ocean killing all 118 on board. The Russians
tried to blame the incident on a collision with an unidentified object.
However, sonar tapes which recorded the blasts (a small one at first,
then a much larger one two minutes later) cast doubt on these claims. A
whistle blower within the Russian military has leaked that the crew of
the Kursk was testing a new type of torpedo when the accident occured.
It seemed very likely that the test didn't go quite as planned.
While rescue efforts to save the survivors of the Kursk failed, salvage
crews were able to recover a 'Black Box' from the submarine which
contained detailed accounts of the events leading up to the explosion.
As luck would have it, we got a copy of those tapes.
It turns out that the submarine crew was trying to load Microsoft
Windows on their fire control computer. Their intent was to replace the
aging CP/M operating system with the flashier Windows OS. Apparently,
the Russians didn't know about the legendary stability problems
exhibited by Windows. The log tapes make this painfully obvious:
Captain: Is the new fire control Windows OS installed yet Comrade?
Seaman: Almost Sir. We just need to finish filling out the registration
card.
Captain: Excellent. Soon we will be able to point and click our enemies
into oblivian.
[evil laughter in background]
Seaman: Comrade Captain! It is booting! Look, it says "Preparing to run
Windows for the first time".
[long pause]
Seaman: Arrgh! Sir, it wants me to reboot again. That makes the 27th
time.
Captain: Hmmm. This is not encouraging. Go ahead and reboot again.
Seaman: Aye Sir.
[another long pause]
Seaman: Captain, it is up again. It says it found new hardware ... A
CD-ROM drive and that it needs drivers.
Captain: Where are the drivers?
Seaman: On the CD-ROM.
Captain: You are joking, right?
Seaman: No Sir.
Captain: Reboot the damn thing again. I am starting not to like this
Windows.
[another long pause]
Seaman: Sir! It is back! It says it found the Gorby2000 Torpedo and is
looking for the device drivers. Do we have a driver disk?
Captain: I do not think so.
Seaman: I will tell it to use the default drivers.
[another long pause]
Seaman: Crap. It wants to reboot again.
Captain: How many times are we going to reboot today? This is taking
forever. Our hull is going to rust out before this works.
[another long pause]
Seaman: Sir! It is up and this time it is not asking for anything!
Captain: Really? No device drivers? No registration cards? No user
profiles?
Seaman: No Sir. I think it is ready.
Captain: Good work comrade. Now click on the fire control icon and let
us see how this works.
Seaman: Clicking now, Sir.
[another long pause]
Captain: Why does the fire control screen have a dancing paper clip on
it?
Seaman: I have no idea Sir.
Captain: Hmmm, well try clicking on the menu.
Seaman: Aye Sir. Let us see; Open E-mail, Spam a friend, Mail a Virus,
Fire a Torpedo.
Captain: We will spam a friend later. Let us fire a torpedo.
Seaman: Aye Sir.
[another long pause]
Seaman: It is asking us to load the torpedo and to click when ready.
Captain: Torpedo room, load a torpedo in tube number 1!
[intercom:] This is the Torpedo room. The torpedo is loaded Sir.
Captain: Click on the continue button.
Seaman: Aye Sir.
[another long pause]
Seaman: It is asking for a target Sir.
Captain: Hmmm, target the Rainbow Warrior.
Seaman: Aye Sir. Damn! It says the torpedo is low on ink.
Captain: Click ignore. We will get some ink when we return to base.
Seaman: Aye Sir. We are ready to fire.
Captain: Very good. You may fire when ready comrade.
Seaman: Firing torpedo Sir.
[another really long pause]
Captain: Well?
Seaman: I am trying Sir. Nothing is happening. Wait a minute....
[a loud explosion is heard in the background followed by screaming on
intercom]
Captain: WTF was that?!?!?
Seaman: Captain! A new screen has appeared!
Outlook Express Fire Control has performed an illegal operation and
will be shut down.
Click 'OK' to continue.
Seaman: Oh my God! The paper clip has died! What should I do?
Captain: Shut it down! Shut it down!
Seaman: It is not responding Sir!
Captain: Try 'CTRL-ALT-DELETE'!
Seaman: Aye Sir. We are in luck! The task manager is still operating. I
am instructing the task manager to shut down Outlook Fire Control.
[another long pause]
Seaman: The task manager says that Outlook Fire Control is not
responding.
Captain: Well no shit. Tell it to 'end task'.
Seaman: Nothing is happening Sir.
Captain: Try 'CTRL-ALT-DELETE' again.
Seaman: Aye Sir.
[sounds of frantic pecking on keyboard.]
Seaman: Oooh! What a pretty blue screen!
Captain: Holy Shit! Not the blue screen of dea....
[ KABLAM! A really big explosion. More screaming and the sound of
rushing water.]
========================================================
The tape ends at this point.
During the week long rescue effort, divers reported hearing tapping in
the form of morse code coming from survivors inside the damaged sub. The
rescuers couldn't understand why a group of men would spend the last of
their strength tapping out "windows sucks" in morse code. The tapes of
the last moments of the Kursk may offer some insight into this.

Got a problem and can't figure out what to do. I've got both an Intel
EtherExpress Pro/10 and a generic NE2000 card, and I can't get either
to work on a 386/25 running RedHat 6.2. I've gotten the cards to work
under Windows 95 on the machine, and have also gotten them both to work
on a different machine running Mandrake 7. However, whenever I try them
on the 386, I get "Device or Resource Busy, delaying initialization"
when it tries to get ETH0 to start...
The 386 is my baby, the first IBM-compatible I ever got, I've got
several more powerful machine, but I've got a soft spot for this one
and just want to get it on the network... :)
I have the cards set for IRQ 10, IO 300, but no luck. I've tried them
on different IRQs and IO numbers, but no luck...
Anyone have any ideas what else to try. This is really weird. Running
Intel SoftSet on the Intel card has no problems, it runs through all
the tests perfectly, but Linux cannot figure out how to talk to them.
It's a slow machine, perhaps there is a timeout setting for the
initialization or something??

As far as i can remember some getty's are spawned for creating those logins.
Maybe you can replace them with a script ?
Or if you want to monitor active network connections ipchains might work;
you might create a script which beeps when network activity takes place over
a specified segment.(I think the dummy interface has to be running for that)
Just some (stupid?) ideas..

Subject: Re: C compiler unable to make executables
Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 11:35:34 +0200
The c compiler needs the base libraries to create an executable. But this is
only neccesary when you use these commands, and trust me, you will.
If you want to write:
printf("Hello world!\n");
the compiler will generate something like:
push $00223123
call _printf
...
the actual printf function is defined in your libc-x.xx file in your /libs
dir.
To let the program now where it can find thos bindings so called header
files are used.
/* test.h
**
*/
void extern test();
this defines an external function called test. You can define this function
in a separate c file, compile it as a library and use this header file in
your program. If you don't point the compiler to your library (-L option) he
won't find it and complains it can't create an executable(which is pointless
'cause it won't run if the compiler wrote one :-)

Hi,
Debian is a bad performer when it comes to using smp, we had a discussion
going on on this topic somewhat earlier. As for Debian i think although it
uses non standard things it should be ok.
all i know about smp on debian is that the kernel keeps migrating processes
from cpu0 to cpu1, maybe this is the point where it goes wrong and you might
have to reconfigure your hardware in some way (never had an alpha so don't

Does the kernel leave a message where it goes wrong ?

Hi there,
First you need to have 2 network cards which linux supports and load the
apropiate modules( #depmod <nic_driver>)
after that you must install the net packages and enable your network (if you
have a decent distrubution try linuxconf or your installation script for the
easy way ;-)
or else ....
start with reading the net-3 howto, this explains in detail every aspect you
might won't to use.
but some quick steps:
your network has to be in a private adress range, i use 192.168.0.0 so let's
go on:
#ifconfig eth0 mask 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.0.1
now your first machine is configured to use ip adress 192.168.0.1, repeat
those steps at the second machine and use 192.168.0.2 as the adress.
create a directory which you wish to share and put it in your /etc/exports
to export a filesystem on a network.
(read #man exports for those options)
additionaly you could configure sendmail and other useful things.

Well, configuring it is a thing you always need to do with a network card
:-(
Buy a card with a rtl8139 chipset for a decent 100mbit home network or a
NE2000 compatible one for a slower network (10mbit)
configuring *can* be simple if you can use your distibution tools for that
( something like linuxconf or Yast or Install etc..)
try looking at the manpages of ifconfig and read the net-3 howto for running
a basic network.
