Read man login, it gives some really good information about
the subject. Here's a little taster from the man page.

Mount a floppy drive, cd to a directory on the floppy,
then go to another terminal and try to unmount the floppy
you'll get exactly the same error message.
Make sure that your current working directory isn't one of
the raid partitions, or maybe you can even specify the
partition on the command line and shut them down one
by one or even all at once, make sure no xterm or terminal
has one of these partitions as it's working directory.
I hope I understood the nature of the problem and that this
is of some help.

Try:

qtdevel2.rpm is 6.8mg
I would install ALL the files you see in that subdir for your distro.
I've forwarded my method of installation to you.

I have a Matrox G400 and I'm successfully running XFree86 4.0.1 with DRI
on my RH 7.0 box. It works great and it's a lot faster than 3.3.5+UtahGLX.
If you want to enable DRI, you need a kernel with the gpgart and mga modules,
and (preferrably) the latest beta driver from Matrox. If you have installed
XFree86 4.0.1 from tarballs, you also have the OpenGL libraries needed for DRI,
and then you don't need Mesa. RH 7.0 uses a hacked version of Mesa which supports
both XFree86 3.3.6 and XFree86 4.0.1 (with DRI), so if you're running RH 7.0 make
sure the Mesa rpm is installed.
For instructions on how to set up DRI, check the README file included with the
driver from Matrox, and the DRI User Guide at http://dri.sourceforge.net.
The linux forum at www.matrox.com is also a good source of information.
If you're in a hurry, mail me and I can send you my XF86Config-4 file.

Thanks for the tips; I will try them over the weekend when I get

Subject: LinkSys betrayed us! Poor prospects for Linux.
Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2000 23:07:27 GMT
LinkSys betrayed us!
I bought a LinkSys LNE100TX ethernet card because it had the box label
"Linux Tested".
It came with a driver floppy disk, but it had no driver for Linux. The
floppy disk had instructions for installing an old copy of tulip onto RedHat
5.0, which used kernel 2.0; I have RedHat 7.0 w/ kernel 2.2.16. I have one
of the later versions of LinkSys LNE100TX, version 4.1, and this needs the
latest tulip driver.
LinkSys should have given us a working binary files with detailed
step-by-step installation instructions. LinkSys wants us to *download* the
necessary files/drivers, but without the drivers, I can't get on the
internet to download them. The old catch 22; without experience, can't get
a job, but without a job, can't get experience.
I went to the tulip web site http://www.scyld.com/network/updates.html , but
the instructions there were so poor and ambiguous that an average user could
never follow. The web site leaves you wondering if there are multiple ways
of installing the driver, or one way, but different steps.
Do I do either "Using the Source RPM Package" or "Installing the Individual
Drivers", or do I do both? What does it mean to install "individual"
drivers? I have *one* card, which needs *one* driver! What do you mean by
individual?!
There's also the section, "Building updated drivers into the kernel". Do I
do this in addition to the above instrucitons, or is this something
separate?!
I went to the web site http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html , but this
web site also has poor instructions, and refers you to somewhere else to
learn how to install modules.
Linux has a long way to go before it can become a common platform, if at
all. Linux is for hobbiest who have time to tinker with their computers.
There are no simple ways to click-and-drag to get things working.
Everything is a struggle; you have to learn something new for every petty
task. Imagine if you had to know how the car's engine transferred power via
the transmission system before you can drive your car,... Few of us know
how a calculator works, and we take it for granted and use it as a fuctional
tool. That's what a computer should be; a functional tool to increase
productivity. Too much time/effort is required to use Linux. However,
Win2K is just as stable, but easy and user-friendly. How much is my time
worth? How much is Win2K? Win2K starts to seem pretty attractive,...

Well...
So I decide to install Caldera OpenLinux. I find 2.3 at the store, buy
it, install, have a few glitches at first with LILO and my video card,
but get it working correctly eventually as a dual-boot with Windows
98. Then I install Microsoft Office 97. Big mistake. Computer
crashes next time I boot. NDD reports invalid partition table.
Windows works fine. Try to boot Linux. Nothing doing -- can't find
root partition. fdisk won't correct it, and I cannot easily back up my
hard drive, because the only writable removable media I have are 3.5"
floppy disks. Is there any help to be found in comp.os.linux.misc?

Gee, thanks for posting that nice slap in the face on a linux newsgroup. If
the "real UNIX way" (whatever that is, since there is not just one UNIX) is
to ignore better tools that come from somewhere else, I guess I'll stick

Get out of X, open your ~/.Xclients with a text editor (emacs). You should
see a line saying 'exec gnome-session' or something like it. Replace it
with 'exec startkde' and voil�, the next time you launch X the KDE gears
start grinding away your memory and CPU resources...

Please don't multi-post. I just read (and replied to) this message in
another group (comp.os.linux.networking, I believe, which is a more
appropriate group than comp.os.linux.misc for this question). It's
normally only necessary to post to one or MAYBE two groups. If you post
to more than one group, please do so by CROSS-POSTING (putting all group
names on one Newsgroups: line, separated by commas). This posts ONE copy
of the message, readable in ALL the relevant groups. It keeps the

responses are available in all groups, thus reducing the likelihood that
your post wastes lots of peoples' time posting the same replies in
different groups. Thank you.

The MaxClients directive sets the limit on the number of simultaneous

this number of child server processes will be created. To configure
more than 256 clients, you must edit the
HARD_SERVER_LIMIT entry in httpd.h and recompile.
And then from httpd.h
/* Limit on the total --- clients will be locked out if more servers than

*/
#ifndef HARD_SERVER_LIMIT
#ifdef WIN32
#define HARD_SERVER_LIMIT 1024
#else
#define HARD_SERVER_LIMIT 256
#endif
#endif
So you'll want to change the 256 above to 1000 by the way the file
is at apcahe_1.3.14/src/include/httpd.h
So edit that file with a text editor to make that change, then
co back to the directory apache_1.3.14/src/ and type:
$ ./Configure
Be sure to use capital "C" it won't work otherwise, then after
that script has run do:
$ make
Wait a few minutes for that script to run then when it's finished
do:
$ su
When prompted for the password type in root's password, the do:
# make install
I'd suggest that it's a good idea to make a backup of your current
Apache configuration files before you do "make install", just to
be on the safe side.
Hope that helps.

I would say, yes. As well as make sure you have the following files:
/etc/ftpaccess
/etc/ftpconversions
/etc/ftpgroups
/etc/ftpusers
/home/ftp/bin/ls
/home/ftp/etc/group
/home/ftp/etc/passwd
/home/ftp/usr/bin
/home/ftp/welcome.msg

/dev/console, if you're root, but I have no knowledge about that one way or
the other.

Hi there,
I just got a WaveArtist soundcard and I was wondering how
I can get it to be compiled in the kernel. I can see that
the driver is in drivers/sound/ but I don't know how I can compile it.
I've got kernel 2.2.17
thanks in advance
