The Riva TNT(2) cards now also have good support.
More high-end, specialist cards are not as well supported.....though the
market leaders eventually come up with decent drivers.

If you boot from your /boot partition (20MB's is all you need) on one of
the first two drives then have /root elsewhere, you should be able to
get away with it.
You may have to re-install LILO. I assume you have boot floppies?

You need to OWN the address. If you are not authoritative for that
address with the NIC...then you can't be authoritative. I had to get my
ISP to resolve my domain name...and then my DNS server resolves into
subdomains. But I cannot resolv authoritatively for my single IP address
because the world knows it belongs to my ISP....not me.
if you want to do your own primary DNS for the world you will have to
get your own IP address range - at least a Class C - and convince an ISP
to support it. Or become an ISP, connecting to an upstream bandwidth
wholesaler. Not cheap.
The Internet backbone routers doesn't like routing sub-nets of Class
C....so unless you have at least a Class C address range you will need
to invlove a 3rd party. if you try to support a sub-net, you will be
visible to only the part of your world that is local on the near side of
your closest BFR (big f* router).
If the reouters of the world tried to support subnets of Class C for
global routing, then they would need to VASTLY expand the amount of RAM
they require.

On RH 7.0 I had to change the /usr/src/linux/Makefile (assumes you
un-packed the source into this directory) so that the "CC"
(cross-compiler) was using "kgcc" instead of "gcc". It's about 20-30
lines from the top. You'll see it.

What you're asking is a triple loader; Win98, WinNT, & Linux.
Because of the way WinNT & Linux work, the "best" triple loader setup is
to transfer control over to NT Loader and allow it to choose.
In such setup, when you boot up, NT Loader will present you with three
options: WinNT, Win98, & Linux.
For this, you must not install LILO in the MBR; give MBR to WinNT.
Then add /boot partition to NT Loader menu.
In fact, you can add as many "boot partitions" as you want to the NT Loader.

It is unlikely that there are _VAST_ speed differences biting you.
People _claim_ to notice the difference when Mandrake takes a more
aggressive "compile-for-Pentium" approach; my suspicion is that if you
merely bothered with doing this with:
a) GLIBC
b) XFree86
c) Whatever sound library you're hitting on a lot (esound?)
d) Whatever GUI library you're hitting on a lot (GTK? Qt?)
You would achieve the _vast_ majority of the benefits that are
available from the approach.
After all,
-> When the system is waiting for you to click on something, whether
keyboard or mouse, there's _no_ way to make the system faster
without feeding _YOU_ caffeine pills. [Or, I suppose, cocaine. If
your reaction to this is "Are you INSANE?!!?" you've gotten the
point :-).]
-> If a particular program is I/O-bound, as is typically the case for
database applications, tuning CPU stuff is _utterly_ irrelevant.
[You might sprinkle the cocaine from the previous thought onto the
disk drive for all the good that's likely to do!]
Basically, for processor-based tuning to be significant, you need to
be running an application load with two properties:
a) You're CPU-bound. If the app is waiting for a disk drive, that's
not true. If it's waiting for you to click on something, that's
not true.
It is _FAR_ more likely for your load to have as favorite
bottlenecks one of:
-> Disk
-> Inadequate RAM [ergo making it disk-bound]
-> The poor human who can't react as fast as the computer.
b) The particular set of instructions is amenable to _significant_
improvement from "Pentium optimization." That may be true for some
kinds of graphical operations, but only if the software has
suitable patterns of code that nicely map to the special
instructions on those high end Pentiums.
This tends to require fairly careful _precise_ design of the
software. Not likely to be true for software in general.
If you _want_ to recompile, feel free. You may learn something from
the process. It's not likely that it is _vastly_ worthwhile.

Expect will automate the telnet session. IOW, it will send a
command (like telnet remote.host.com), wait for a response, (like
username:) send the appropriate response, wait for a prompt, and
so on throughout the entire session.
Cron will tell your expect script what time to execute.

Subject: Any *easy* way to upgrade to kernel 2.4 ?
Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2001 06:08:27 GMT
I tried upgrading to kernel 2.4 by installing the rpm, but failed.
Either the rpm was not for my setup, or something went wrong.
Because I have RedHat 7, I'm having trouble compiling the kernel, and I
haven't had time to update the bugs in RedHat 7.
Will there be an easy, no-brainer, upgrade to 2.4? Where I don't need
to hunt down the necessary library files, utilities, scripts, etc.
Something that will provide me with everything necessary, so I don't
have to go through a check list of things I need to have or do before
upgrading.
When I installed StarOffice or Netscape 6, I simply ran the binary
installer, and that was it. I'm hoping for something that easy for the
kernel 2.4 upgrade.

I've had this same problem on my I-Opener with 2.4.0 and Modutils 2.1.
It also happened on 2.2.18 with RedHat's patches applied by SilkHat
http://silkhat.sourceforge.net, and since the I-opener worked fine with
2.2.16-22 from RedHat 7.0, my best guess so far is that it has to do
with the IDE patches applied to 2.2.18 or the "Use PCI DMA by default"
or some similar disk option that's perhaps set in silkaht and in my
2.4.0 compile but not in RH's 2.2.16-22. The same .config worked fine
on my scovery.

Hi!
find doesn't know about your bash function, because it's a bash
function, I assume. For exec you'd need an executable.
So put your code into a file and do
find . -exec bash /path/fixit {} \;
Or make fixit executable; then you can use the line you suggested.

Check in at lobby for badge and room number
Please join us for an evening with our special guest David Korn, probably
best known to many as the creator of the KornShell.
http://www.kornshell.com/~dgk/
Over the last twenty years the former Advanced Software Technologies
Department of AT&T Bell Laboratories, now part of the AT&T Network
Services Research Laboratory, developed a collection of software tools
and libraries which were referred to as the AST collection.
Some of the tools such as the KornShell, nmake, and Graphviz are in wide
use and are part of the Foundation Architecture. Some of the libraries are
widely used as well. However, until recently, the source for most of this
software was not available outside of AT&T without a special license.
This talk will describe the AST software collection, the OpenSource license
in which this software is now distributed, and the reasons and benefits of
making this software OpenSource.
http://www.research.att.com/sw/download/
More about David G. Korn:
David Korn received his undergraduate degree in mathematics from RPI in
1965 and his Ph.D. in applied mathematics from NYU's Courant Institute of
Mathematical Sciences in 1969. After working on computer simulations of
transsonic air foils, he switched fields to computer science and became a
member of technical staff at Bell Laboratories in 1976. He is the creator
of the KornShell, a command language for the UNIX environment, as well as
UWIN, an X-Open library for Windows NT and Windows 95. In 1984, he was
inducted as a Bell Labs fellow. He currently works for AT&T Research in
Florham Park, NJ and resides in New York City.
David presented an interesting USENIX paper on porting from Unix to NT 4.0,
in which he concludes "There appear to be few if any technical reasons to
move from UNIX to Windows NT. The performance of Linux exceeds that of NT
4.0 and Linux appears to be more reliable."

What's "regular"?
Debian doesn't come with hundreds of non-free software packages and
demos like all other distribs I know. Also it's very stable.

Subject: RAID5 available with Dell Precision 420?
Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2001 16:54:34 +0900
Hi.
I'm planning to buy a Dell Precision 420 and to use RAID5.
However, a salesperson in Dell Japan says its RAID controller
Adaptec ARO-1302 will not work with RedHat Linux.
I looked at the web site of Adaptec, but I cannot find the
controller in their products.
Does anyone have an experience of running Linux with
RAID5 on Precision 420?
Thank you.
Tetsuhiko
P.S. By the way, in Japan Dell will not sell Precision 420 with
RedHat pre-installed. It sounds very strange!

In the bash 2 examples directory there is a script called lowercase that
works very well. Beaware that in the examples directory there are two
such lowercase scripts; I have found that the one in the directory
/examples/v2 (something similar) is the one that works. Check this out
there are very many interesting scripts there.
