The latest issue (April 2001; to hit store shelves soon) of
Next Generation magazine (aka "NextGen") has an 8 page special feature
on the Indrema game console.
For those who haven't noticed it, the Indrema is a DV/Linux-based
game console designed around an x86 architecture. Along with playing
games, the unit sports DVD and MP3 support, "TiVo"-like features,
web and e-mail access, and a support structure for open source game
development.
Since the issue has only arrived to subscribers, the article isn't
on NextGen's website yet. Once it hits the newstands, they'll probably
put it online.

Well I had the same problem with RH7.0 and Xfree4.0.2
I just put an # before every font path in /etc/XF86config, minus the one
which says:
/usr/X11/lib/font (or something like that, it is probaly the first in

Just update Mandrake, but don't install anything.
Mandrake will prompt you to configure X again, this will fix the problem.

Yes, you can simply mount the drive on a subdirectory.
All you need to do is create a directory where you want to mount the
drive/partition. say /mnt/drive2
mount the drive by typing:
mount /dev/[your dev] /mnt/drive2 -t [filesystem type]
now you have to make sure your kernel supports whatever filesystem you want
to mount. Because if you plan to move that data to say a different Windowz
machine, the kernel will have to support fat.

you can download ssh from http://www.openssh.org.
you can use a win95 ssh client to remotly connect and administer you linux
machine.
there are a few clients available for win95. look in http://www.freessh.org

You can't.
You can cat a file to stdout, and redirect that (this a shell function) to
another file
It may look like copying, it is not.

I would recommend slrn. My system has 16M of memory, and slrn feels
fast even when running X. I don't know however about how it handles
downloads, as I don't frequent pr0n^Wbinary ngs.

What is your $TERM environment variable set to? If you are running
from the console it should be "linux", from X it should be "xterm".
If you are using a terminal hooked up to a serial line, You should
have it set for that terminal.

Subject: where to set harddisk geometry
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 11:02:26 +0100
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc
I used this command to clone a complete harddisk. Both disks are same
brand, same model, same everything. Unfortunately fdisk reports heavy
partition-errors on hdc now and /proc/ide/idex/hdx/geometry brings out the
awful truth:
/dev/hda:
physical 16383/16/63
logical 19650/16/63
/dev/hdc:
physical 16383/16/63
logical 1232/255/63
seems a pure dd is not enough and I have to set the logical geometry
somewhere else. Where ? I tried to do in fdisk, but this changes are lost
when starting fdisk again. In fact I know less about this things and dont
know whats the difference between logical and physical geometry.
There is one difference between both harddisks: hda is listed in the
machines bios and hdc is not (on ide1 there is also a slave that is not
recognized from bios cause its too large and so I had to disable the
master to to achieve higher speed on the slave).
any idea ?
thnx,

Yes, and the other hard drive can be almost any filesystem you can think of
if the kernel is set up right. You can also set up the network to use the
drive on another machine.

fdisk should be able to handle partitions that don't start/end on cylinder
boundaries.
If you plug hdc in as hda, is it solved then?

Just addressing issues. I sincerely doubt that you physically have 16 heads.
That would imply 8 platters. It's not impossible, but I doubt it.
linux shouldn't care anyway. Is there a DOS on these disks?

It's the BIOS.
change hda settings to LBA addressing, and it wil probably use the same
logical settings as hdc uses now. It won't be bootable if you change this
though.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 20:26:56 +1000
After asking many times in newsgroups and getting no answers as to why midi
wasn't working with my SBLive, I have finally found the answer.
Everything kept saying /dev/sequencer was unavailable, or busy or not
configured. I became convinced that Mandrake had forgotten to include it.
Reading the Installation instructions for alsa sound system, I realised you
must use ./configure with a special option, to get it to include midi
sequencer support. So I installed the alsa sound sources and support stuff
that it needed, and followed the instructions, and did a make install. I
was enthusiastic when I saw heaps of midi stuff being compiled. The
snddevices script created the necessary devices, then I edited the
necessary lines into modules.conf, then rebooted.
Was I ever happy to see it load the alsa driver for snd-card-emu10k1 as it
booted. Looking at the midi setup in KDE's control centre, I at last had
some midi devices. I set it to external midi, and started the midi/karaoke
player... voila...music erupted from my external sound module.
Still haven't got the inernal wavetable synth working, but I read somewhere
about a utility to load the RAM soundfonts...must investigate.
Lastly I must comment that this has been a really long and bad experience
trying to get even this far. If we hold Linux up as a real alternative to
Windows, we shouldn't make it this hard for people to do a common thing
like play a common file format like midi, which Windows has had for
years..... and it has been very difficult, especially as nobody seems to
know anything about it... I got very few suggestions, and none could solve
the problem.

Chances are the box at the remote end supports pap/chap verfication. So
you may not need a chat login at all! Try setting your one-time

Hello folks!
I need to know what the ports must be opened
for NFS server on RedHat 6.2.
We have a big intranet and close unnecessary ports.
If we open just 111 (portmapper) and 2049 (nfsd) mount on the client
side
complains: rpc - unable to receive.
When we open everything - works fine.
The problem is every time you restart nfs
rpc.mountd get another port for listening.
I was wondering if somebody could advise what the ports
(or port range for rpc.mountd) must be opened.
Sincerely,
Lev

No they are not lost. fdisk writes the partition table. You cannot
"lose" that. Are you sure you exited with "w" and not with "q"?

Duh, dunno. What's the difference between logic and physics?
Please read a hardware FAQ. At least one of the haardware howtos.

Well, that would seem to be fatal, no? If the machine on its own
doesn't see the disk, then nothing else will! Or do you just mean that
it's already scanned one disk and knows its geometry, but you haven't
scanned the other? If so, scan it. Set the geometry if you like.

Uh, you can't do that. What do you think master and slave mean?
Congratulations, your machine now does not work.
How can you disable a master? What did you do? Put a meat axe through
it? Or rip it out of the socket? Or did you set it to slave too a
jumpers? Whatever you did, undo it, and don't do it again.

Hi Guys
I went through the different logs with my friend but we did not find
anything suspect.
I checked through the different crons but there was not anything related to
squid.
Then i editted the /etc/inittab and found the following line twice :
pa:2345:respawn:/usr/man/man4/squid >> /dev/null
So i diabled these 2 lines and run /sbin/telinit q to re-read
/etc/inittab.Everything seems to be ok then.
So i understand that this was the problem. But i am not sure if its the
source of the problem.But i don't have a clue how to research further this
issue but anyway I will let you know if other bizarre things happen.
Thanks for your support.

Damn, it still fails... I rebound apm into kernel and used such append
line in lilo. Also I tried several other kernel options at comilation,
but still when powering off the system I get some debug message, and a
listing of cpu registers with their values... seems some wrong doing
hardware I guess ?? mm...

But don't you need the shell even when you use cat to concatenate
files? The stdout per se is not exceedingly useful.
If you do not allow me to say that cat can be used to copy files, I
will not allow you to say that cat can be used to make a file from
concatenating other ones :-)

Of course it is the same. I get a copy of the file, that's copying.
Oh, and I could have used dd too. And there are a lot of unix programs
out there that replicate partially each other functionality. For
instance:
ln -s file1 file2 # make file2 a symbolic link to file1
cp -s file1 file2 # same thing
Heresy?
My point is that we should not tease a guy because he said that he
thought cp has some of the same functionality of the Dos COPY,
invoking some Great Unix Way of doing things.

Subject: slow pop3 through ethernet hub
Date: 19 Mar 2001 13:49:12 +0100
Hi,
I have an ethernet connection to which I would like to attach a hub to
make it available to more machines. For now I only inserted the hub
between my machine and the internet.
With this setup I am experiencing very slow pop3 connectionn, but
completely normal web browsing even for rather big files like images
or kernel sources.
I have a friend next door who has the same problem on a windows
machine, so I gather it must be some genberal thing...
Any idea?
Thanks,
