Date: Tue, 04 Jul 2000 08:09:53 -0700
Hi,
Ik probeer voor de eerste keer een cd te branden op mijn Freecom rw
atapi drive. Ik wil het eerst uitproberen met een rw cd, voordat ik
andere cd's verknoei. Ik krijg de volgende respons, en niets wordt
geschreven. Ligt het aan min rewriter, mijn disk, of doe ik zelf iets
fout? Ik moet zeggen dat ik weinig begrijp van de meldingen.
Onder windows gaat alles goed, dus blijkbaar is de CD ok.

Hi,
I'm burning a CD for the first time on my Freecom-RW ATAPI drive. I want
to try an RW first, before wasting others. The following respons is
returned and nothing is written. Is it the drive, the disc or my
mistake? I don't understand the messages. In windows all functions
correctly, so appearantly the disc is OK.
I don't have a clue, but perhaps someone else does,

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi there,
Yesterday I posted a question w.r.t. TTfonts and XFree86-4.0, but the
actual problem I'm having is even more puzzling to me. I can startx just
fine as long as I do not provide a ?valid? fontpath in the XF86Config
file. At this moment I have no fontpaths listed in the XF86Config file,
but still XFree86 finds some 800 fonts or so. Where does it get
these???? And how can I check if a fonts path is correct. What are the
fonts.dir fonts.scale etc files supposed to look like?
Any pointers to more information regarding this subject would be greatly
appreciated, 'cause I'd really like to be able to add fonts.

The LINUX development people need to put in some serious work on LILO. Nearly
all the
problems that I have had deal with LILO. Unfortunately, I can not get any of the
"cludges"
to work for me. For some reason the above attempt to create a boot disk says so
many records
in and so many records out, but nothing gets put on the floppy and it does not
boot.
I can mount the file system after booting with the install disk and escaping to
the mini-bash shell.
If I then make some links to the proper directories, I can even run lilo, but I
get an error about
the size of the disk (something over 1000 cylinders or something) which is really
odd because
TURBOLINUX had NO PROBLEM creating the LILO dual boot in my first installation.
It
only seems to be a problem with the new RedHat Linux.
Does anyone have any other ideas how I can get LILO back so that I can get back
to using
something better than WIN95?
Thanks for the help.

Its been in there for several years at least. Don't recall which
version
I noticed it in first, but if you do "about: <some_garbage_here>" you'll
get that. I think I read about it somewhere under the category of
"Easter Egg". :)

There has been versions of the lpd spooler system that have this bug.
It is unclear where the "official" version of lpd should be located.
I beleive that the latest rehat version fixes this problem, that is
the lpd package from the RH6.2 distribution.
It might be time, though, to take a hard look at the LPRng
http://www.astart.com/LPRng.html
This package includes some documentation that might answer some question
you might not even know you had.
