Hmm... No... But... :-)
Since upgrading all machines on my home lan (4) to the 2.2 kernel
series I have problems with a laptop using an DLINK 620 pocket
adapter.
Very slow (about 10% of what it used to be) with ftp and html.
The realy strange thing with it is; if I use an *old* ftp client
taken from 2.0 series of kernel ftp is fast again.
Pings are fine too. There are no dropped packets or any kind of
networking errors. It's just dead slow. :-(
The problem is only with said laptop. All other machines (which use
noname ne2000 cards) are *faster* with the new kernel.
The laptop is fast with older kernels and NT.
I have played with all networking parameters I could think off, but no
improvement.
If somebody has an idea how to fix it, please let me know.

Friedhelm

I recommend the following:
1) Use PM to set up your partitions. Use ext2fs for Linux, Linux swap
for Linux swap, and NTFS or FAT for Win2K. You may also want a FAT
partition for data exchange. Win2K requires a primary partition, but
the rest can be logical. A LOT more can be written about partitioning
details.
2) Install Win2K.
3) Install Linux, and be sure to add the Win2K partition to the LILO
(Linux Loader) configuration.
Many people advise using Win2K's OS Loader to choose which OS to boot.
Personally, I dislike this solution, because it requires that you copy a
boot sector to a file accessible to Win2K whenever you change you
kernel, which I consider a pain. LILO can boot Win2K directly, obviating
the need for extra shenanigans. If LILO resides in the MBR, though, it's
at least potentially susceptible to being overwritten at Win2K's whim.
Lots more can be said about multi-booting (in fact, I wrote a book on
the subject; see http://www.rodsbooks.com/multiboot/ for details). Post
if you have more specific questions.

Its not that hard. Unmount the file system NOW. If the inodes get reused,
all hope is lost. Then just fire up midnight commander and go use its

Subject: Write to floppy from Redhat 6.0

I want to read/write ability with my floppy drive so I placed the following
line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat user,exec,dev,suid,rw 1,1
I only partly know what this means, (don't know what a suid is), because I
picked it up from a tip somplace.
It allows me to read just fine, but when I try to write I get an error
saying that the device is read-only. What am I doing wrong? Also, can anyone
point me to a HOWTO for a definition of the fstab file contents and its
various parameters.

While I think dpkg is superior to rpm, I don't think it is fair to blame

man fstab
should help with the last part.
In your /etc/fstab line, the rw means
read/write, so I can't tell for sure why you
are having trouble writing to the
floppy. However, FWIW you may need to
change the vfat part to ext2 if you intend
to have the floppy drive read and write
files for Linux. vfat is Windows files.
In order to write things to a floppy, I
first have to format a new floppy with
fdformat /dev/fd0
or else spell out the default format,
which works better for me:
fdformat /dev/fd0H1440
then I have to make a filesystem on that
floppy this way:
/sbin/mkfs -t ext2 /dev/fd0 1440
(I have also seen that written as below,
leaving out the defaults)
/sbin/mkfs /dev/fd0
Then mount the floppy, then copy whatever
Linux files you like to it using the cp
command.
I don't know if this will help you with your
problem or not, but it took me a really long
time to straighten this whole procedure out
on my own system so maybe I have saved you
some aggravation.

Your inews is broken, get a better one. My own comes from the

I forgot what was the problem with tin's own inews - but it was

Also, CNEWS and INN come with a reader independent inews source.

The "put . into your PATH" answer given later in this thread is
irrelevant. What probably happens here is that stinit is a script that
specifies a particular interpreter in its first line via the #!
syntax.
<handwave> Since these interpreters are called by special magic that
swaps the interpreter for the actual script before the kernel ever
gets to see it, </handwave> the error message makes you think that the
script doesn't exist, when actually it's the interpreter that isn't
found. So please quote us the first line of that script. Conceivably
it says something like
#!/usr/local/perl
which will produce the reported error if perl doesn't actually reside
in /usr/local on your machine. In this case, the easiest solution is
to create a link to the interpreter where the script expects it.
Yes, this is incredibly user-hostile behaviour from the shell...

the password should be encrypted in the smb.conf files.

Subject: Re: Mount ufs (Solaris) Hard Disk on Storm Linux 2000 Server
Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2000 00:58:01 -0800
When I execute this new mount command I get the following error:
mount : wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, or too many
mounted file systems
I checked /lib/modules/2.2.16-storm/fs and there is a ufs.o file so I assume
that ufs support is compiled into the kernel. I also did a "cat
/proc/filesystems" and
ufs is listed.
Any more suggestions ? :)

As is this answer, cause he tried `file` on the executable and the
return stated ELF binary, so not a script.
Look at my other reply for more info

Hi,
Since a week now I'm having problems getting into X running Gnome.
The problem is that the "gnome_login_check" task just sets there waiting
without completing.
To get in I change to another console and kill it, then my login continues.
I see no strange
messages in the log.
Can anybody give pointers to where the problem may reside?
Which files are checked by gnome_login_check? I know I could go into the
source but I hope
there's a faster way...
Thanks.
