Subject: Installing ISA modem
Date: 6 Nov 2000 16:11:22 PDT
I have Red Hat 6.2 and I just bought a Hayes Accura V.90 56K
Data/Fax modem.
Right now I am using USR Sportster 28.8 modem. It has served
me well but I want to see if I can get some more performance
out of this phone line.
Problem is I don't really know install the ISA modem. Any
advice on how to do this in Linux? I know that to install
a video card I run Xconfigurator. How do I remove my old
modem and add the new one in Linux? Thank you.

Subject: Xconfigurator questions
Date: 6 Nov 2000 16:15:53 PDT
I have a 15" Optiquest monitor but no longer have the docs
for it so I don't know specifically which one it is so I
just chose one called a Q51. Anyway, I just bought a Stealth
III S530 8MB graphics accelerator.
I am trying to put off buying a new computer by just adding
some components to make this one better. At any rate, I run
Xconfigurator and at the end it says there was an error and
do I want to go back and fix it. If I go back it does not give
any clue what to do differently; if I choose 'quit' it goes
to the prompt and I can type startx and go into X no problem.
Any ideas on what might be causing this Xconfigurator error?
Also any ideas on how to figure out exactly what my monitor
is without the docs? Thanks.

Slackware can be anything you want... from minimum install on an
ancient 386sx with 4Meg to KDE/Gnome/Enlightenment etc..
Admittedly, I started with Slackware many years ago, and I've returned
after trying Mandrake and Redhat. Perhap's I'm simply used to configuring
it, but I can sort out ALL my problems with Slackware, AND it can boot from
floppy, CD, NFS etc... It does expect you to get your hands a little dirty,
but if you have a few grey cells, it's good.
The latest Version 7.1 is very painless
(except one minor grumble about the keytable configuration).
One minor moan... lots of software is distributed
in rpm's now. This is OK, as long as you have Redhat! rpm comes in
Slackware, but it's not quite so 'seamless' (although I have had hassles
in Redhat too!)..
Give me source code in a tar file any day!

Subject: boot problems after moving HD
Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2000 11:31:48 +1100
hello everybody
I've just put a whopping big new HD in my debian 2.2 system, and copied
all of my system from my older HD onto the new one, now I got this wierd
problem with LILO:
(b4 is start, I initially put the new HD as the secondary master (hdc),
and kept the old one as hda, so that I could boot up. then I transferred
the system across (using cp -a, for some reason cpio didn't work) to the
new disk, played with some configs on the new disk so I could boot to it)
The new HD is now hda, old one is hdc. If both HD's are connected like so,
LILO boots the system fine. but if I remove (physically) hdc, lilo stops
on the `L'. With hdc removed, I can boot to hda from a kernel image on a
floppy. I have tried recompiling the kernel, recreating the system map,
and rerunning lilo, all pointing to hda, but nothing wants to give
any ideas?
another wierd thing that occurred to me - the LILO docs say that when it
stops after the first `L', and error code should be displayed indicating
whats going wrong. mine does not display an error code at all.

Hi there,
I like to know how to get PPP connection in win95 machine connected
to Linux by null cable. I have tried Trumpet Winsock3.0D with
option of "Manually login and start pppd by yourself"
but not working yet. It used to work before , but this time
when I command
"$>/usr/sbin/pppd 123.1.1.1:123.1.1.3 proxyarp"
no signal charcter appear on screen. Here I am stuck.
I am open to any solution as long as it works.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

This is a management problem, as we say at work. Tell your friends that if
they won't reboot the machine to your OS of choice when they are done, that
you will remove their account from the NT machine. Then do it. Problem
solved.

As I understand it, scsi formatting isn't even portable between
different scsi controllers, much less scsi <--> ide. When my scsi
controller dies, either I find another of that controller, or I
reformat with completely new controller.

KDE GNOME
uses C++ uses C
uses Qt oop widgets (GPL) GTK+, bonobo, corba hacks (going comm)
uses nice Signal&Slots paradigm verbose & awkward callbacks.
has KDevelop, a POWERFUL GUI-RAD emacs, codeforge, ???
Uniform across platform and apps Rethinking their strategy,
again.
A lot of people were against it initially Started as a reaction to KDE's
because Qt wasn't GPL. Now it is. Qt license, now is has become
CDE's replacement child. Fate? Same.
IMHO, KDE will suit your requirements to a tee!

Does Codewarrior support automake/autoconf based builds ?
Does it have built-in support for GTK/GNOME and/or QT/KDE ?
Glade has support for XML based GNOME GUIs which can be loaded at *run time*.
I don't believe anything else has this.

I first downloaded KDE2 using the SourceForge rpms for SuSE 7.0 someone put
there. I had lots of crashes and was ready to go back to KDE1. Then SuSE
announced their rpm, on their site, and I downloaded their rpms and used
their install shell script. Much improved. KDE2 itself is solid. I have
no crashes with KMail, KNode (news) and Konqueror is more stable than any
version of NS, but it does crash on ocassions. KDevelop works as usual.
KOffice has issues on certain functions (formuleas, for example) but the
basic wp functions are great. I haven't use Kspread, or the rest,.
All in all, I am well pleased with KDE2 and the apps that were released
with it. Konqueror is very nice, either as a browser or file managers.

Yes. There's support for many IDE, SCSI, and floppy-style
tape drives -- for instance, Travan drives are well-supported,
IIRC. You may need to compile a module if your distribution
doesn't come with the appropriate driver.
I've used both IDE tape drives (TR5s in particular. No
Linux-specific complaints here; tapes are a bit pricey, and
the drives seem oddly vulnerable to vacuum cleaners, but eh.)
and floppy tape (e.g. an HP Colorado 400/800MB unit, IIRC.)

Everything from Zip to Jaz (IIRC) to CD-R to whatnot. Check
the Hardware Compatibility HOWTO, 'tho; plus, USB devices
in particular require caution.
The HOWTO is available at www.linuxdoc.org.
