Nice idea Bart, but it didn't work. It still complains about not being
about to create a unique name for the file.
The file in question is closely related to a second file of very
similar name. They take the form:
<__BIG_MESS_OF_CHARS__>.html
<__BIG_MESS_OF_CHARS__>_files/
Where, as shown in my original post, <__BIG_MESS_OF_CHARS__> contains
numerous ";"s.

But should that affect the RockRidge names or Jolliet names for that
matter? Nowadays the ISO9660 names looks like a mere formality.

Hi,
Just a relative newcomer playing a bit with Wine. I found that Easy Bridge
runs perfectly under wine for anyone who has missed computer bridge games
under linux. I used Easy Bridge 3.2.1 build 51 (1998)
There is a 4.x version now but I had problems with it even in win98 so
didn't try it. No need to upgrade when the win95 version runs perfectly.
You can get it here: http://www.webdirect.fi/bridge_size.html or do a web
search.
Using mandrake 8.0's installation of Wine-- sorry don't know the version as
I am browsing in windows now.

If you seek to 0x7ffffffe you might get it. I get a similar problem when
checking a lock that extends through 0x7fffffff, which to me doesn't
make sense. Is that a 2.2.14 problem that has now been fixed?

Well you are going to have to have a compiler of some sort to get this
done. Judging from what Jason's post says and your results you don't
have one.
As Jason said, you need a statically linked compiler to get started
with. In addition to compiling one on another distro, you may be able to
find one to download. I believe I saw that mentioned on a GCC web site
or in the doc's. You may need binutils too, but you'll find that out
later.
As for GCC 2.95.2 I think you will be much better off with it. It would
be a shame to go through all this and not have something that works for
you.

Subject: SbLive and no recording
My SbLive doesn't respond for "recording reqeust" in Linux 2.4.0-2.4.4
If I try to record audio, nothing happens, all apps hang.
I tried "cat /dev/dsp", which should put some output on
the console - but nada - not a single byte - not even "0x0"s
Maybe this broke in 2.4.0pre or even later, but I know this worked before,
2.2 was _sure_ okay.
Oh- btw. audio playback works fine, mixing too (playback settings and recording
settings,
altough I can't recod - I can set from which source i want (not) to record ...)
I use the standard (OSS compatile) sound driver, compiled in (_NOT_ as module, NOT
ALSA...)

In the 2.4.x kernels there is support for LVM. I have not used it myself
so I can't say for sure but it looks like it would let you mount /var
and /usr/local from the same partition onto separate branches of you
file system tree.
This is also hearsay, but the Redhat 7 series uses a BETA compiler and
you must use a "kernel compiler" to compile your own kernel. Redhat may
have some RPM's to update your kernel, again I have no experience.
If you don't have a compelling reason to have these on the same
partition I would recommend making two partitions and going from there.

Date: Tue, 22 May 2001 10:53:41 GMT
I upgraded a RedHat 6.2 system (Celeron 300/64MB) which was working fine
with X to RedHat 7.1... The graphical installer worked fine, and so does
everything else, with the exception of X... I get the following message:
Cannot open device /dev/mouse
...
Device or resource busy
I updated the mouseconfig and Xconfigurator (found bug fixes...) but no
help...
A RedHat support engineer thought that it sounded like an IRQ conflict,
but he didn't offer any solutions...
Can anyone suggest anything to try (other than re-installing 6.2...) or
how to identify/fix IRQ conflicts in Linux...
Thanks in advance...

You could give some examples, that would probably be more helpful if you
want help.

I'm not having such problems. If your problems are reated to Nautilus,
the file manager, you should probably try installing Nautilus 1.0.3.
It's not a minor revision like the version numbering makes it look like,
it has a lot of bugfixes, draws folders faster, and also has some new
features.
Ximian does not yet have Nautilus 1.0.3 as an update, but you can get
Nautilus 1.0.3 and its dependencies from Red Hat's rawhide
(http://www.redhat.com/mirrors.html) or http://download.gnome.org and
install it manually with rpm.
Anyway, I think you should also try Ximian's support forums.
