Hello everyone.
I' d like to install SUSE 6.4 with NFS on 20 486 machines with 16 MB RAM. This
doesn't work because I'm not able to load the root image to the Ramdisk.
Has anyone got any hints (apart from copying to HDD on an other machine etc..)
Thanks.

cd /usr/sbin

chmod a+rw /dev/ttyS?
Thereafter do the last one each time you run linuxconf which "helpfully"

A quoted sentence and the one here make roughly the same amount of
sense.
Gnome and KDE are _not_ window managers (even if ties to kwm are pretty
strong in KDE).
: Ice is my choice,
You can run Ice rather nicely as a window manager in a Gnome framework,
and I did that, although recently I am somewhat partial to sawfish.
Still Ice is a few mouse clicks away.
Personal choices is all of that is about; although _informed_ choices
are preferable. :-)

Subject: PCMCIA NIC and 2.4 Kernel
Date: Sat, 29 Jul 2000 17:43:49 GMT
Hi,
I was using kernel 2.2.16 and pcmcia-cs package with my xircom 2PS NIC.
I recently tried to upgrade to 2.4.0-test5 and tried to use the pcmcia and
pppoe modules.
the kernel compiled without any problem, as well as the modules.
When I boot, and then do a depmod -a, then modprobe xirc2ps_cs, everything
seems to work fine.
Then i try to turn the eth0 interface on by a ifconfig eth0 up, but i get an
error message saying there's no such interface.
a lsmod returns :
Module Size Used by
xirc2ps_cs 11752 0 (unused)
nls_iso8859-1 2828 1 (autoclean)
vfat 10476 1 (autoclean)
fat 30816 0 (autoclean) [vfat]
nls_cp437 4340 1
I cannot find any pcmcia_core.o, ds.o file in my lib/modules/2.4.0-test5
folder.
Have they disappeared from the new pcmcia package (included in the kernel) ?
Anyway, I assume I don't need them since the xircom modules loads properly.
I'm probably missing something obvious, but I don't know what.
Is there any way of testing the module without an ifconfig ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Thomas

I know California rules. I'm a happy Californian myself. :-)

If one needs a dating guide, or even worst, have to use Penthouse as a
dating guide... then, he'll never get a real date.
For me... I don't need no dating guide. I just be myself, who I am and
what I am, I might say I am self-confident and self-secured by default.
;P~
And it's way too late to make me read any dating guide, since I've been
dating this woman for half of my life already. And I don't see, or can
find any reason to change the situation. :-)

Bull. You've taken this statement out of context, ignored its relation
to the original question, AND failed to complete your homework. (XFCE is
a desktop environment, in the same class as Gnome and KDE.) The question
concerned GUIs, not window managers, and all 5 qualify.

You might trouble yourself to read my second post in this thread,
wherein I say exactly the same thing, in more detail. For that matter,
you might want to finish the post you refer to, and notice that I did
differentiate between "environment" and "windowmanager"

Yes, I've tried that (Ice in Gnome). It's cute. And sawfish is the best
thing ever to happen to Gnome. But the point is that neither Gnome nor
KDE, as running environments, are essential or even desirable in all
situations.

Right well my Linux experience has been interesting but now I'd like to
get back to things I understand again. I have a Linux partition on a
hard drive and I'd like to use the whole thing for windows again. Can
anybody please tell me if I can reset it to a normal windows partition
using fips somehow. Fips didn't seem to want to know since it was only
interested in splitting the dos partitions.
I don't have a working Linux system on the drive, and hopefully I won't
need to put one up in order to remove the Linux partition ?????
Any help gratefully appreciated ? Please include both groups if making
a newsgroup reply ... since I am the sole occupant of futg.

I have encountered such problems in linux:
I am using red hat 6.2 linux
1. when I connect the SCSI backup tape to the machine, reboot and it can
findmy tape drive and even i use
mt -f /dev/st0 status, it works well and display the info. but when I
use other commands like rewind, retension, or even tar to it, it keeps
prompting me i/o error why?
2. i have installed ipchains on the other machine which uses as a firewall.
the whole system works well for a period of time, but after a period, say 1
month, the network service of the system hang.. which means i cannot ping it
telnet it or any other network app. But when I go in front of the machine,
it works well.. but only no network service, why? I have checked the log and
i saw that everytime before the machine gets hang, it will reboot itself..
why?
can anyone helps me since you know.. it is just a bomb.. i don't know when
will it "hang" again but it is a production server so it is very urgent.
Thanks for your help, Experts!

If you have a linux boot disk or rescue disk, or a mini linux, you can use
it to boot , then run fdisk and delete your linux partitions.
(I don't think Win98 will be able to delete linux partitions since it's not
even capable of deleting an NT partition)
If you configured your Linux box to boot from the hard drive (most likely
using lilo) then boot from a win9X boot disk and run fdisk /mbr ro restore
your Master Boot Record to its previous state.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for this tip. The tests are now ok !
Where does the message "video memory unprotecting" come from ? How to
remove it ?
I have tried some GLUT demos. Few demos use mouse and menus are not
visible in 3DFX screen. The Readme say it's possible to render into an X
window with the help of the Voodoo 1 hardware with :
export MESA_GLX_FX="window" // to enable window rendering
export SST_VGA_PASS=1 // to stop video signal switching
export SST_NOSHUTDOWN=1 // to stop video signal switching
or voodoo 2 hardware with
export SSTV2_VGA_PASS=1 // to stop video signal switching
export SSTV2_NOSHUTDOWN=1 // to stop video signal switching
But nothing for voodoo 3 hardware ...
How to do that with a voodoo 3 hardware ?

I have a problem after the restruction of kernel.
I can use the module for network card when I use boot floppy disk,

What I did when the restruction of the kernel are as follows:
/cd usr/src/linux
make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make
make mrproper
make modules
make modules_install
depmod -a
And I made a boot disk with the command "make bzdisk"
And I confirmed boot was successfully done,
and the usage of module "via-rhine.o" for the network card.
And then, I installed kernel on the LILO using the command "make bzlilo"
The boot is successfully done through LILO,
but I can't use the module "via-rhine.o" even using the command as
follows:
cd /lib/modules/2.2.13-33/net
modprobe via-rhine
and the error message as I wrote above is displayed.
If we confirm it by "lsmod", the module is not used.
Even this mail can be sent using boot floppy disk.
Thanks for helps.

OpenLinux 1.2, and 1.3 on my laptop. After a little tweaking,
everything works fine. However, when trying to install RH 6.x, or
Caldera 2.x the install hangs after formating the partitions. I'm sure
this message at boot has something to do with this.
pci_ide not 100% native mode, will probe irqs later.
My hardware has not changed, so something has obviously changed with
the linux kernel in this regard. Is there any way to get around this?
I'm tired of RH5.x.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

With an SCSI tape drive you might find the link below to be of interest.

They have a FREE personal edition which works GREAT on my system.
Just an idea.
