Not to much to figure out.
They obviously must be correct. Otherwise they won't work.
If they failed, you set them up wrong.
Besides that, you appearantly didn't need them.

Subject: RH6.1/586 binaries won't load on RH7/686?
Date: 18 Dec 2000 01:44:35 -0800
Among the MANY RH7 broken things currently bugging me, tops is the
inability to execute any binary that previously existed on my RH6.1/586
box. The behavior is thus, regardless of shell, or binary that I'm
trying to run:
[rbf:/staff/rbf]->which popclient
/usr/local/bin/popclient
[rbf:/staff/rbf]->file `which popclient`
/usr/local/bin/popclient: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, \
version 1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
[rbf:/staff/rbf]->popclient
popclient: Command not found.
I've applied the glibc patch from the RH7 errata.
Never seen this before moving from RH4 to 5, or 5 to 6.
Any ideas?

I don't have any expierience with this part of linux kernel code, but
that's irrelevant.
Anything you want to know on the linux kernel, is in the same place
/usr/src/linux
If you don't have it: www.kernel.org

As this is pretty standard stuff usually, you're probably better of
reinstalling the X related stuff.
Otherwise there's `mc` which eases up the undeletion process
significantly.
PS. don't ever rely on such tools. Use your brains, so you won't need
them.

Same here - try compiling SBLive! support as a module instead of
directly into the kernel, that fixed it for me. YMMV.
HTH,

Hi,
Linux kernel can load modules on demand (where modules, if I understand
correctly, are *.o files)
Can I do the same with my C/C++ programs (load parts of it on demand)
How?
Thanks

External xDSL modems/routers are usually connected to your PC via a
standard 10BaseT ethernet connection.
The same applies to many cable modems, FWIW.
I used to have an ADSL connection via US/Qwest (Cisco 675 DSL router),
and now I use a Time Warner RoadRunner cable modem (3Com HomeConnect
Cable Modem). Both are quite compatible with Linux.

It's probably a good thing to get processors with the same stepping
level on an SMP box, but PPro processors are so inexpensive that one
could probably get a whole new pair.

Subject: linux + adaptec 29160
Date: 18 Dec 2000 09:18:15 GMT
Hello,
I have a linux box with a kernel 2.2.17-21mdksmp #1smp (mandrake 7.2). I put an
ultra 160 scsi 29160 adaptec card inside. The problem is that the card isn't
seen by Linux. It's a PCI 64 card and there nothing in /proc/pci.
Has someone an idea how to solve that problem ?
Thanks - Laurent
