Hello,
there was a similar question some month ago, and Donald Becker (author
of
most Linux NIC driver) gave the hint that 3com 905B/C cards would be
the fastest:

Help a newbie with GRUB PLEASE!!!!!
So heres the low-down. I have a dual boot system with Windows ME, Windows
2000, and Linux Mandrake. What happens is that when I turn on my computer
grub pops up and then gives me the option to go to windows or linux. If I
choose linux it takes me to Linux. If I choose Windows it takes me to the
Windows boot loader which gives me the folowing options: Windows ME, Windows
2000, and Linux Mandrake. So the GRUB screen is completely useless and
annoying.
In other words - HOW IN THE HECK DO I STOP GRUB FROM LOADING?!??!?!?

but using it (according to SCO's docs) it doesn't work
and I can't find any Linux docs for it.
I tried:

It seems you're in the wrong newsgroup
But afaik most linux mail-clients seem to get an outlook import managed, and
doing this they are ignoring other (and better) mail clients
And a last word: Kword is (at the moment) not comparable to pmmail (not even to
netscape mail, have you ever tried to connect to an IMAP server ;-)

If you're using redhat 7.1, do a make mrproper and then reset all your
kernel preferences. I was unable to get a clean compile until after I had
done this.

I'm using Telocity with no problems (BellSloth? Hello? BELLSLOTH?!?!?)
other than their periodic incompetence, an affliction of ALL broadband
providers IMNSHO.
I'm sure Mindspring/Earthlink would be comparable...the advantage of them
and Telocity is the *external* modem/gateway.

Unfortunately that's true, yes. It depends what kind of thing you
want to record, and how you want to listen to it, but you may find
having >100 tracks in one blob annoyingly difficult to navigate.
Especially if the player doesn't provide a resume feature. For some
things it'll be fine, though.
Personally, I'd recommend going for something like the Soul player
(there's an equivalent sold under a different name which may be easier
to get in the US, but I don't remember the name) rather than the very
cheapest you can find. Paying a bit more gets you better navigation
(so directories make sense, and in general it's easier to record stuff
so it plays in the order you expect), ID3 reading, and resume---I
guess cheaper players may have one or more of these, but the one I
happened to choose (which has SMART written on it---I think it's
isomorphic to the MPTrip) didn't.
But it depends what you want to do with it, obviously.

I generated the above error messages by running "make boot" instead of "make bzImage"
for kernel-2.4.2-2.
I just downloaded source for kernel 2.4.5 and build the kernel as per in that
reference. The build of the kernel was successful. But when i reboot it, the machine
halts at the phase of searching for isapnp cards, with the screen kind of "desolved",

Subject: How to regenerate RPM database?
Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2001 16:40:08 -0400
I tried to upgrade my Linux distribution from one release to the next.
It was so difficult to do the configuration of the new release that I
just restored everything back to the previous release. Or so I
thought. In any case, the RPM database is no good: it thinks I have
the new release installed, when I do not.
I tried
rpm --rebuilddb
and it rummages around for a little while, but the database still
thinks I have the new release in there and I can tell that I do not.
What must be done for it to REALLY rebuild the database; i.e., look at
everything on the machine and use the right RPMs in there? Or is this
impossible?
