Subject: Need sound help (Crystal cs4232) under kernel 2.4.x
In ealier kernels' 'make config' there was a place to give
the configuration file the parameters needed for this driver
(i/o addres, irq, and dma channels). That is no longer
so and it seems that it is necessary to pass this
information manually somehow on booting.
I have tried adding an "append= " line in lilo.config but it
has not worked. Perhaps I didn't do it properly but I've
tried several different ways.
Sound is not really a big deal for me but I'd like to be
able to play cd's and such.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

They decided the tax to be based on the Windows NT Server ( around 1000$) price.
I think that Linux community should react. Polish tax officces should be

If you want a filename printed along with the line where the
hit occurs you need to do something extra:
find . -name "*.xyz" -print -exec grep abc123 {} /dev/null \;
or use xargs like the other response.

Have you tried Gentoo? I use that on a regular basis and it's a nice
2-pane filemanager similar to Midnight Commander and it's fairly fast.
If you want something like Windows, I guess there's always Konqueror or
Nautilus.

Hi there!
I've got a slight problem with HiSax. I can't load the module. I always get
the following output:
Diva: wrong HSCX versions check IO address
HiSax: Card Eicon.Diehl Diva not installed !
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/hisax.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/hisax.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/hisax.o
failed
ISDN-Subsystem unloaded
/lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/hisax.o: insmod hisax failed
can anyone help? IO/IRQ seem to be OK. I used the following command to load
the module:
modprobe hisax type=11 protocol=2 io=0x300 irq=10
I've tried many different IO/IRQ-Settings, none worked.
My System is Debian 2.2, running on a P2-350
Thanx for any Help!

Hi, i am a networking newbie and was told that the only (please

lin file systems is by using samba. I am rather unfamiliar with
samba and was wondering (assuming there and no reasonable
alternatives) if there are some newbie/spoon feeding type howtos

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am trying to make a bootdisk that i can use to access
a NTFS partition and a old iomega zip drive but i have
found that the more recent kernels (correct me if i am
wrong) only support iomega as a module. I am no guru
and even making a boot/root disk (slackware user) is a
bit of a challenge.
#1 which kernel did iomega start to be require to be
compiled as a module and can one actually use modules
on a boot disk? (and does that kernel have reasonably
stable NTFS read support?)
#2 can i / how would i go about making a boot disk that
can use modules.

I was considering getting w2k (some win apps i just can't

the default kernel config. I was going to recompile my
kernel for NTFS support but it has all these warning about
how "dangerous" it is, i was unsure if it was referring to
things like permissions on the diff FS or was it referring
to things like a increased possibility of file corruption?
If there are corruption issues <it is a home PC so security
is not an issue> i will stick with fat32. Any input (or
suggestions) would be greatly appreciated!

I have been using compiled-in iomega support with recent kernels (up
through 2.2.18 anyway, don't know about 2.4). I *think* it works,
although I don't use my zip drive much and usually have the drive turned
off. If the config script only allows you to select module, you can
manually edit your .config and change the entry for the ppa driver to 'Y'
from M, and then 'make oldconfig' and follow the rest of the procedure.

You find something good about Win-Explora ?
Well I certainly won't agree !
But back to topic:
Look up www.tucows.com and look around in the /linux/X/file managers
department
Check out systemg - not My favorite, but ok
check out ddt - (can't recall excactly, but I think it was named that)
If You have Gnome - use their "Gnu Midnight Commander"
And using text-mode is fastest as always. But the best there is : the

Hello folks,
I'm having a nightmare of a time geting routing
to work right on my RH7 box. Here's the story:

fine. I added routes for the eth0 interface, as
well as the default gateway (see below). I can

thing is, I can see my LAN light on my DSL modem
blinks (it lit solid in windows) with each
packet. Please note, this is not the DATA light,
so it seems that the packet make it to the modem
but can't find anywhere to go after that?!?

be greatly appreciated!

On what basis do they tax it? Mind you governments can do what they

saying that the rent that they did not have to pay because they owned
the house was like an income to them and thus they should be taxed on
it. Fortunately the idea died a well deserved political death.
Note that this has nothing to do with Linux. It is still free. The
govenment can tax anything they want-- including the air you breathe
(Now, you are a runner, and thus you breathe more. Plse pay and extra
25$ air tax). What stops them is the political cost of such schemes.

This should cover quite a few distros, and SuSE/RedHat at least have the
version# in that file, so you can say "This is running RH 6.2". The
problem comes when users update various things on their own, so they
have a system that's halfway between version X.Y and version X.Y+1.
Maybe we need some sort of Registry-equiv^U
Um. Yeah. rpm -qa and grep for required components, or build your own
RPM if you're distributing software?

Check your error logs ("dmesg | grep -3 -i ufs") and you'll probably
find that the UFS type could not be determined, so mount defaulted to
using "old" which is not correct. The correct UFS type for FreeBSD
AFAICT is "44bsd" and the syntax is like so:
mount -t ufs /dev/hdXX /mountpoint -o ufstype=44bsd

Maybe you should try following the thread a little better before

Obviously you didn't read the post at all. Because this stuff below is
useless. I already know what RAID is. As I said in the original post
we already have RAID controllers. And we have decided to continue to
use RAID. But we want to know which card works best or at least which
ones work well. And while the stuff your working on may qualify it is
obviously not ready.

Subject: Gnome MIME types
Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2001 01:07:24 GMT
I'm having trouble getting GNOME MIME types to work with WordPerfect.
I want to be able to doubleclick on a WP document and have xwp launch
the document. I have edited an application/wpd entry so that Open
will use the command "xwp %f", but GNOME keeps giving me an error. I
note that the icon I have assigned to docs with the wpd extension do
take effect.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Personally I prefer MARS_NWE 'cause it's easier to work with, but
whatever you use needs to allow you to log into the Linux box and give
you rights to use the file system.
