I agree. You boobed up the install somehow. Mine installed in a snap and I
even burned my java 117 and ICQ installs into a CDROM so I can install right
from the disk quick and easy. Plugs right in and goes and even works in KDE.

I've got an SVEC PN-1700T here. It's ISA with jumpers - NE2000
compatible. Compiled with NE support and it works just fine. The card
is also a combo card - it'll do 10-BaseT or 10-Base2. Got it real cheap
at an online auction - around $10 or so before shipping.

The Roadrunner system does have a 10BaseT connector, but any NIC
will do.

Hi,
What you want to do is simply not possible with 56K modems. 56K modems are
asymmetric - in order to operate in 56K, the other end (usually an ISP) must
be connected to the PTX digitally. Even then, only data from the ISP to you
is at 56K. The other direction is still 33.6K. So what you get is normal...

Subject: export /proc using nfs?
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1999 18:03:00 -0000
I am writing a cluster monitoring tool for a Beowulf cluster, and I am
trying to mount the /proc directories of all the nodes on the central node,
in order to get at the uptime/load average/memory usage info more easily.
The /proc directories seem to be exported all right (they show up in
showmount -e) but when I try to mount them onto the central node (using
mount -t nfs node2:/proc /tmp/cluster_proc/node2) I get "Mount failed -
reason given by server was permission denied".
Is it possible to remotely mount /proc filesystems in this way?
Joe

Patch the ppp-on script to put a symlink to the invoking user's tty, if
there is one, in /var/run, e.g. /var/run/ppp0.ctty -> /dev/whatever.
Then have ip-up and ip-down redirect their output via that symlink.
You'll have to play a few games to ensure that the link gets removed
when PPP is shut down or fails to start. You'll also want to make sure
that ip-up and ip-down don't try to write to a nonexistant link, since
that would just create an ordinary file in /var/run. It might be
simplest just to have ip-up create a link to /dev/null if no symlink
already exists.

Subject: Re: which one to download to install
If i were u i would either buy it from www.cheapbytes.com for $2 or i
would buy a book on Linux and get one taht comes with Linux. If you goto
my site below in my sig u will find the link to my site and goto the Linux
section.
Downloading even teh main set of disks is going to take a while. Not that
the files are humongous, there are just a lot of them, but I would rather
buy a cd and have it on teh cd anytime i need to do a reinstallation
instad of having to downlaod it all again. And i would definitely get a CD
if i planned on downloading all the disks like u want to do.
