I like the Hauppauge card. It runs fine in Windows 2000.

Not many bells and whistles in the software as in no scheduled digital
recordings, though. And you have to bring your own codec (I like PicVideo's
MJPEG free for registering one).

640x480 is the maximum I can get out of it, but the drivers are rock solid on
either an Intel chipset MB or a VIA based one.

The most usual problem is the first of these three lines from
.netscape/preferences.js:

user_pref("browser.cache.directory",
"/home/jdbeyer/.netscape/cache/");
user_pref("browser.cache.disk_cache_size", 24000);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory_cache_size", 12000);

See that slash just aftr the string
/home/jdbeyer/.netscape/cache? It must be there. If it is
missing, the cache size seems to grow without limit. My machine
has been up for over 5 days lately and I browse the Internet a
good bit. I get:

valinux:jdbeyer[~]$ du -h .netscape/cache/ | tail -1
6.3M .netscape/cache
valinux:jdbeyer[~]$

My experience with the OSS drivers for the VIA sound support was largely
negative because it crashed my test system about 1 in 3 attempts to load
the drivers. This was several months ago, though, and on a Compaq
Presario 1200-XL106 notebook, so the problem might not exist any more or
on other hardware.

I've got a few OS/2 web pages up, but haven't updated them in quite some
time. Your problem accessing my site was an oversight on my part. I
updated my web server this morning, but it apparently didn't restart
properly, so it was down for several hours and I didn't know it. :-(
It's now running again, though. My apologies for the inconvenience.

I've not used them myself, but I remember hearing they exist. I just
boot into OS/2 so seldom these days that I've not bothered installing
them.

If sendmail is causing delays at boot time (1-5 minutes), that's a
symptom that your machine's hostname is set incorrectly. You may just
need to create an appropriate entry in /etc/hosts to get around the
problem. IIRC, if you're not connected to any network at boot time, you
may need to change

127.0.0.1 localhost

to

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost

It's been a while since I've dealt with this issue, though, so I'm not
positive that's exactly it. A Deja News search may turn up a more
complete and/or accurate answer.

A slow disk is certainly going to be cause for a lot of CPU idle
time while it has nothing to do but wait for the disk to provide
more data.

However...  check out the -j option for make to see how you
might provide the CPU with something to do while the disk is
chugging along.

       -j jobs
            Specifies  the  number  of jobs (commands) to
            run simultaneously.   ...

There might be a trick to this though, because for many builds
(I would assume glibc is one, but have not looked to see) the
main Makefile invokes make again in subdirectories.  Which means
you not only need to use the -j option on the command line, but
need it to be given to the commands issued by your invocation of
make.  Usually you can do that with a command line like:

       make -j2 MAKE="make -j4"

Note that the "-j2" will determine how many subdirectories will be
worked in at one time, and the "make -j4" is the command given in 
each subdirectory, allowing make to try compiling as many as 4
source files at one time if that is possible.

Just which numbers, or combinations, will work best depends
greatly on the number of CPU's, the speed of the CPU's vs. the
harddisk, and of course the particular nature of the program
being compiled.  On a dual CPU system it easily can cut compile
time in half for many large compiles, but that shouldn't be
expected on a single CPU system.

Then they are both buggy.  No program should crash as result of "bad"

Are you running in virtual disk mode?  If so, you do know that you
need to actually install an OS, don't you?  VMware provides a
hardware emulation layer, not an actual OS.

I bought an ATI Wonder VE and it has a bt848 chip which bttv knows.
The tuner works and the video input works after I fiddled with the module.conf

find their supported card lists.

'vmstat 2 20' may give you a better idea. the fields r, b, w tell you
if to many processes are running. The si and so tell you if you are
swapping a lot. The bi and bo tells you if there is too much
IO. Lastly, us, sy and id tells the various cpu utilization times.

During my testing I connected to cable modem directly to a Win98 PC and it
worked fine. I was able to download 1 or 2 GB worth of data from the
Internet (several different ftp sites).

That is what make this problem so wired. It works when connected directly to

Thanks to all that replied! 

I have to get used to the idea that when I get an error 
message telling me "Missing operating system" is because 
the operating system is missing!!!!  :-)

(no, I did not know that I had to actually install the 
operating system!!!  :-)) 

I did install Windows NT and it is working (I'm now running 
into other difficulties, but it does work -- pretty neat, 
BTW!  I guess I'll check vmware news server, or check 
again their support page -- I did check it before, going 
through the link to "support" in the main page).

(also, I didn't know they would offer support to people 
that are evaluating -- I assumed they would only support 
their customers -- i.e., the people that have bought the 
license;  I guess it makes sense;  after all, they're 
trying to sell the product!)

Anyway, sorry to bother you because such a silly oversight 
on my part!  I appreciate the advice and the pointers! 

Thanks!

It's a bit difficult to guarantee; libc and POSIX offer too many openings
