Do it again. You forgot to unapply mandrakes patches before applying
the .14 and .15 standard patches, and then reapplying mandrakes.

Hi again everyone!
Never mind my earlier post...I finally figured it out.
In my message below, when I said that GAL's configure program
complained:
> "checking for Glade libraries >= 0.13... configure: error:
> Did not find libGlade installed"
Now, learn from my mistakes: It complained that "libGlade" was not
installed,
so I naturally made the mistake of trying to correct this from the
sources
contained in glade-0.5.11.tar.gz. THIS IS NOT LIBGLADE!!!
After I found it on the 'net, I installed libglade-0.16.tar.gz.
So look carefully at the name of the component that configure could not
find
("libGlade", in my case) and make sure that you download the *correct*
file(s)
to fix the problem.
"libGlade" != "glade"
I'd like to thank those of you who started to put any time-and-effort
into my
question. (Sorry I wasted your time on such a silly mistake, though.)

What is up with PPP in 2.4.1? Why is only /dev/ppp now supported?
The documentation says to create /dev/ppp as c 108 0. But it does
not seem to be that c 108 1 is configured. What is the device code
for the 2nd ppp device? the 3rd? etc?

Show us your partition table. Tell us how much memory you have. When
you say "file" do you mean something like "installing lilo failed
because partition /dev/hda3 is too large and may not fit under 1023
cylinders"?

This is a bios error. Look it up in the lilo docs. Probably "I can't do
that: your disk offset is too large for me to be able to load from".

Most _certainly_ such things are possible, and typically in multiple
ways.
One way would be to set up a shell "alias." You're likely using Bash,
so that what you could put into the file /home/yourid/.bashrc might
look like:
alias winamp='cd "/mnt/windows/my programs/winamp"; wine winamp.exe'
Alternatively, if your PATH includes some home directory (for me, that
would be /home/cbbrowne/bin), you might create the following script:
#!/bin/bash
cd "/mnt/windows/my programs/winamp"
wine winamp.exe
Save that as /home/yourid/bin/winamp, then do
"chmod a+x /home/yourid/bin/winamp" to set it to be executable.
Note that I _didn't_ have that use multiple "cd" commands, and that I
specified the path going in from the root, as that means that you
could run such a script from anywhere, not needing to worry about what
your present directory is.

Don't give me that bullshit. The United States spends 5x as
much per pupil on Kindergarte-12th grade education as any other
country in the world. And to what end?
In case you haven't noticed, the public K-12 education system
in this country, if foisted upon us by another country, would
be considered an act of war.

Subject: Dual NIC Problem
Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2001 07:36:01 GMT
I have installed two Linksys Ether16 LAN cards in a Packard Bell Legend
2051. I have been able to get one of the card recognized but not the
second. Both have been reconfigured to be non-PNP using the DOS setup
utility supplied with the cards and each given distinctive base IO addresses
and IRQs, 0x280 IRQ 3 and 0x380 IRQ 15. The cards are NE2000 clones.
My set up in conf.modules is as follows:
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x280,0x380 irq=3,15
Just the way the HOWTO says to. In addition I have tried append in lilo in
order to get the two cards recognized. My append string is as follows
append "ether=3,0x280,0,1,eth0 ether=15,0x380,0,1,eth1"
Hunting around in the various logs it seems that the module for these cards,
ne.c, only probes one card and never probes the second. The sad part is
that individually, these cards both work.
Current installation consists of RedHat 6.2 on a 486 w/12MB RAM.
Any help ferreting out a solution is greatly appreciated as I'd like to get
this router established before the real computer comes home from Compusmart
this weekend.

I think the post in this NG titled: "compiled 2.4.1 and PPP doesn't work"
will help you with your problem. Not exactly the same question, but from
what I gather, you need to upgrade ppp (but I didn't read all the posts,
so you'll want to check for yourself). Also,
/path/to/kernel source/Documentation/Changes says something about this
if I'm not mistaken.

Are you making this up ? I'd love to see a cite for this. (and don't
just say "FBI")
BTW, it's misleading to use total expenses because that ignores
possible variation. I'd be interested to see what the median
and lower quartile spending figures were.

Oversimplifying slightly, if Microsoft can get Internet Explorer working
as well on NT/2K as on 95/98/ME, it begs the question why AOL can't get
their software to work on NT. There's a simple answer: as poor as
Microsoft software is accused of being, the AOL software is REAL CRAP.
It screws up the registery and buggers any other online service that
requires anything other than provided by Windows's own Dial Up
Networking, crashes frequently, uses a proprietary file format for
storing saved e-mail and newsgroup messages, and it corrupts them
reliably one a month or so.
My wife uses it. I use a different ISP (a two-ISP household), but I use
my AOL account for my online ID. I get to fix my wife's computer
problems, so I've spent more time than I'd like with AOL. Suffice it to
say that the smartest thing I've done for her is to copy her AOL 'PFC'
automatically at boot-up (so a few times a day). If only she'd switch.
