Heh...
Sorry, I just had to... Usually, barring bad hardware, the BIOS is at fault...
I still think the dual processor setup would be faster than a single processor,
provided all apps and the OS itself is optimized for those dual processors....
But that's just my two cents...

Guys,
let's make the whoe thing easier
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
float x;
cout <<"test";
std::cin >> x;
return 0;
}
save it as hello.cpp, then type
g++ -o hello hello.cpp
It works on my Sun machine, there's no reason why it won't work on any other
*nix

Subject: Re: problem with Sound Blaster
Did you compile the kernel module (es1371.o I think)? do a "modprobe -l

are the settings ind /etc/conf.modules correct?
did you check the README files in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/ ?
I personally think the redhat sndconfig tool is crap
But the PCI128 is a fine card, I am very happy with it, except that it
dont play MIDI, but who needs MIDI?
If all else fails: the ALSA drivers (http://www.alsa-project.org/) work
fine too,
and you will be able to use the joyport (IF, and only if you enable it
in the alsa config file)

Maybe. Try "expert text" after booting the Redhat 6.2 CD so you avoid

I need to copy the /etc/passwd file from a Redhat 5.2 system to a Redhat 6.2
system! When I edit and compare the two, the lines containing the
username/password/userid/ETC looks different. The Redhat 6.2 passwd file has
a X where the password should be, and the Redhat 5.2 passwd file has a

try looking at /etc/conf.modules or /etc/modules.conf (can never remember
the correct name<g>) and see if there's an "alias char-major-108" statement.
If so, then see what it's aliased to and that should be the missing module.
As far as where it is, it should become easier to figure out once you know
what it is.

Hi,
I'm wondering how best to transfer some large amount of data (35gb)
from a Mac formatted hard drive (HFS, not HFS+) to an ext2 partition.
What I've done so far is build a new kernel with support for both Mac
HFS and the Macintosh partition table format, and on startup the
system reports all the partitions on the Mac disk. However, none of
the userland utilities I tried seem to be able to cope with the disk.
I really don't want to pull the disk and have to borrow a friend's
Macintosh to move the data over, so any pointers/clues/etc would be
appreciated. Do I need hfsutils? Could I just mount(8) the partition
and tar the files across?
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
Best,
(jfb)

A bzImage is *NOT* compressed with bZip2, it is compressed with zip same

Subject: One more question about partition location
Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2000 16:44:11 GMT
I just got a 20 gig drive. I am about to reinstall my system and wanted
to ask a question. Can I put linux in a partition before win98.
For example
hard drive
1. os/2 boot manager in the first meg or two
2. linux (mandrake or slack haven't decided have both)- 3 gig
3. win98 - rest of the drive except for swap space for linux
4. linux swap 128 meg
I am asking since I seem to have read somewhere that win98 needed to be
the first thing on the disk after the boot manager. After reading a
number of posts and websites it does not seem to be true. But both win98
and linux have to start in the first 1024 cylinders??? I want a
continuous win98 partion I don't want to break it up if I don't have to.
I thought if linux did not take all of the first 1024 cylinders I could
have them located on the disk as described above.

Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2000 11:54:48 -0700
RedHat 5.2 uses basic Unix passwords for authentication, and they are stored
in one-way encrypted form in the /etc/passwd file. RedHat 6.2 uses MD5
passwords, and they are definitely not stored in the /etc/passwd file. You
might want to check the PAM documentation to see where the stuff is being
stored. Unfortunately, since the password formats are different, your
passwords will have to be reentered to take advantage of the new
authentication software. There is no way to decrypt the passwords in the
passwd file.
However, the passwd file itself should still be valid. It contains data
about all the users on your system and what groups they belong to, where
their home directory is, etc. However, if you copy the passwd file, you
will need to create their home directories by hand (unless you're copying
those, too). My recommendation is simply to recreate your users. RedHat
6.2 adds some additional dummy users to the userlist for security reasons,
and you'll want to keep those.

Since you were posting C sources, could you have posted it in a readable
format? The MIME type application/octet-stream is meant only for
unknown binary files - every program that properly supports MIME forces
me to save it to disk instead of viewing it.
Furthermore, you posted it with BASE64 encoding, so I can't even view it
as part of the message source.

Doesn't look much like a C program, does it?

Subject: environmeeent variables
Date: Wed, 02 Aug 2000 13:08:16 -0400
I'm not sure what I did but I've been getting error messages when I try
to print, and today when I tried to bring up IDLE for Python. The
message was: 'no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable.
(When printing I at times get a similar message about no PRINTER display
name.)
I'm new and am trying to find something to give me a good understanding
of environment variables; how they are set and the options.
I would appreciate any help which you can offer to direct me.
Regards,
Tom

Subject: Windows 2000 and RedHat 6.2
Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2000 12:06:03 -0700
I've just upgraded to Windows 2000 and now I can only boot Linux from a
floppy. These are the previous and current setups:
Previously:
Windows 98 is installed on the first hard drive.
RedHat 6.2 is installed on the second hard drive. LILO is installed in the
superblock of the root partiton, not in the MBR.
PQ Bootmagic is installed on a small primary partition on the first hard
drive, which selects which OS to load.
Currently:
Windows 2000 is installed on the first hard drive.
As far as I know, Bootmagic is still there, but its partition is no longer
marked active in the partition table.
RedHat 6.2 is still on the second hard drive.
I am using Bootmagic from the 4.0 release of PartitionMagic. As I
understand, there was no Windows 2000 support in that release. To make
matters worse, PowerQuest no longer will support 4.0.
How do I get Bootmagic working again? Or is there an alternate way to get
Windows 2000 and Redhat 6.2 to dual-boot? I can't use LILO in the MBR,
since it's incompatible with the Win2000 boot loader and it can't mount a
boot partition from the second hard drive.
Thanks is advance.

Maybe in the past, but now now.
If you go to RedHat's update FTP site (ftp://updates.redhat.com/) you'll
find three different sets of kernels - i386, i586 and i686.
On my PPro and PII systems, the i686 kernel gets installed.
