Fuck the person who thought of onboard things. Start using pci (or even
better, non-pnp (pnp sucks too) isa [video, sound, scsi, ide, i/o, modem,
network, usb, ps2] cards!
(as a matter of fact, exept for the modem, wich is totally external, usb, wich
i don't use but have some pins for, and the first 2 ide channals, all of the
above are non-on-board!
(yes, I've got 4 ide channels, because an extra ide controller and many old
hd's were cheaper then one big new one, and scsi, for my scanner)
I now use 2 isa (sound/i/o0, 4 pci (scsi/ide/network/ps2) and 1 AGP slot!!!
Tijmen
BTW, don't use AMR, because that's an on-board gadget for wich you still have
to buy an extra, non standardized, windows-only card

In order to access /tftpboot it needs access permission (x bit) for
anybody and this directory does not have access for anybody at all. Try
giving the directory 755 permission, or at least 711.

This is correct, but you should change it to more restrictive permissions
when not writing to it.
As an alternative you might look into setting the router so you could rcp
the config.

I've had this too. The problem is that lilo can't find the kernel if it's on a
partition that lies after the horrible "1 gb boundary". The solution: If your
windoze partition is smalle than 2 gb, make directly after it a small (ie 16 mb)
partition mounted at /boot. If your windoze is bigger, you need a new hd to
install linux on.
Windows is coming up in "partitionless install" because then you install linux on
the windows partition. I have no experience with this though, so I don't know hou
you should start linux then (try linux, linuz, vmlinuz or vmlinux)
Your DOS bootdisk won't work because you haven't set the boot sequence correctly
in your bios. It should be A,C.
If you ever want to return the windows to its original state and purge lilo from
the harddisk (wich i couldn't imagine) try (in dos or windows, not in linux) fdisk
/mbr

This probably isn't an NT system answering the phone then. The prompt
appears to be a normal terminal server prompt. You can probably log in
by just configuring PPP to do PAP authentication and dispensing with
the initial terminal login. Most newer terminal servers will detect
PPP frames and switch modes automatically.
The "under NT" part probably means that the terminal servers
authenticate dialup users to a RADIUS running on NT. Which doesn't
matter to you as far as setting up your connection.

You can also do it from the front panel. It is quite painful (you have
to *scroll* through all possible settings for each octet of the
address), but it can be done. Once done, you can telnet to the thing
to finish configuring it.
Also, the 5simx is not a postscript printer unless you bought the
postscript option. It does, however, work with most of the HP
laser drivers, since they all use some variant of the PCL language.

If they provide a LaTeX template or class/style file, then the chances are

Subject: need a little hdparm help here, guys...
Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2000 19:12:56 -0600
Okay. Here's the scenario: Dell OptiPlex GX1 PIII-500 circa about June
1999. Came w/ one Maxtor 10G IDE hd. I presume it is UDMA/33 capable,
not sure about 66. Using hdparm (doesn't matter what distro, as SuSE,
RedHat, Mandrake, Storm, Debian, etc. all return similar results on
these hard drives), this drive (/dev/hda) will jump from about 3-5MB/sec
to 19-20MB/sec by enabling 32-bit I/O, and DMA. Fiddling w/ any other
options just makes the speed go down (relative to 20MB/sec, not
5MB/sec).
The second hard drive (/dev/hdb) is a 17.2G Maxtor, circa December
1997. Not sure what the rating is on it, but I _think_ it was ATA33.
This one is the problem child, per se. Straight out of the box, w/ any
distro I've fiddled w/, this drives transfer rate is btwn 1-2MB/sec.
Again, the only options that seem to make a significant positive
difference is the 32-bit I/O, and DMA. But even so, the speed only goes
up to a blazing 3MB/sec, tops. I've gone thru the hdparm man page,
tried a bunch of different options, and I've never gotten any better
than that, which is kind of depressing.
Any ideas?

I'm trying to set up a small office server, using Red Hat 6.2. We did have
ppp running, but it broke whilst trying to get fetchmail to work properly;
I'm not sure if it wasn't due to a segmentation fault/core dump courtesy of

What happens now is that when started (using ifup ppp0) it goes into a loop:
you hear the hard disk thrashing a bit, you see several modem lights flicker
a bit, you hear the hard disk thrashing a bit, you see ...
I've uninstalled ppp and the associated wvdial and reinstalled, I've tried

The key in the business arena is interoperability. Since the Palms have

Use linux fdisk to make sure that the partitions on the second drive are
marked as "linux native" or "linux swap" and not FAT32. If there is a
DOS primary partition on the second drive, Windows will use that as drive D.

it, the paragraphs are all unindented. Am I missing something, or is there a
bug?
Its print quality is good; a little nicer than Applix words, I think.

Subject: Which windowing system? X-windows?
Date: Sat, 21 Oct 2000 02:04:06 GMT
Hi,
I'm going to write a program using graphics to display data, using OpenGL.
I can develop under Linux, Mac OS X, Unix on SGI. My primary requirement
is portability. I am a post doc, and will be moving to a new position soon
and
don't know what hardware will be available there. This will be a program under
perpetual development for use by me and perhaps a few others.
Should I use X-windows? Are there other GUIs more popular in the
Linux/Unix/Mac OS X world? If I develop for one of them, will I be able to
move my application to the other unix platforms easily?
Thanks
Bill
