Subject: help printtool setup problem
Originally, I was able to add my HP 520 DeskJet printer when I first set
up
my system RH v6.2 kernel 2.2.14-5.0 through printtool v 3.44-1 with no
problems. It worked beautifully. The printer driver showed up for the
HP520. However, now I have a problem. I tried to set up my HP870Cse
printer and even added pnm2ppa package and updated it from 0.89 to
1.0-1.
I updated ghostscript from 5.50.1 to 5.50.3. All this was at the same
time
I was trying to get the HP870Cse to work, but no luck. However, for some
reason, I deleted the printer for my HP520 from the print queue. When I
went back into the printtool, I couldn't find a printer definition for
the
HP520. I checked the /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters/printerdb file and it
has the definition in there for the HP520, but it doesn't show up in the
list in the printtool. Can anyone tell me what is going on and how can
I fix it so I can select the HP520 printer driver? Much thanks.

I have tried doing it straight from the autoexec.bat but I still get the
same thing. I've also tried booting from a DOS 6.22 boot disk, and from
the safe mode command prompt only option of 9x... Anyway, I was thinking
it was related to the SCSI adapter more than anything else, but I guess
I'll just keep on doing it with a linux boot disk.

Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 03:45:08 GMT
I am having a hard time compiling the tilup driver for my new Linksys
NIC with Redhat 6.2. When I run the compiler I get this....

In file included from tulip.c:162:
kern_compat.h:38: linux/version.h: No such file or directory
kern_compat.h:100: linux/bios32.h: No such file or directory
I can find all of these files in another computer running the same
version (upgraded from RH 6.1) in /usr/src/linux-2.2.14/include/linux.
However, in the "new" install, that directory doesn't exist...in fact
/usr/src/linux-2.2.14 doesn't exist. I can't even find these files on
the CD. I don't think I can just copy them from another computer
without causing some problems, can I?? How do I get this driver to
compile?? I could just go buy a 3Com NIC, but that would take all the
fun <sic> out of it!!
Thanks,
Dodd

hi !
Since the user and group are mentioned in the .conf file, you would have
to set the UID/GID of the cgi-bin dir ( permission 755) of the uID and
GID mentioned in the conf file.

Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 05:07:23 GMT
Hi !
Linux has a good multi-boot option. Ie, proceed with your RedHat
installation, ( install linux on the 5GB part ). It automatically
detects your Win98 Partition and even provides you a chouce to boot
which OS first( if you do not press any key during boot).

I got my redhat 6.2 to use my CD-Writer.
.
$ su -
password: <scret>
# cp /etc/conf.modules /etc/conf.modules.bak
# vi /etc/conf.modules
Modify conf.modules for your CDROM writer, my CDROM is located at /dev/hdc
Here is my conf.modules
alias scd0 sr_mod
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
options ide-cd ignore=hdc
# cp /etc/rc.d/rc.local /etc/rc.d/rc.local.bak
# vi /etc/rc.d/rc.local
Put this at the end of the rc.local
# load ide-scsi module
insmod ide-scsi
# cp /etc/lilo.conf /etc/lilo.conf.bak
# vi /etc/lilo.conf
put the append statement for /etc/lilo.conf your cdrom
'append="hdX=ide-scsi"' and run lilo.
Here is /etc/lilo.conf, my CDROM is located at /dev/hdc
boot=/dev/fd0
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
prompt
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-6.1.1
label=linux
root=/dev/hda4
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
read-only
# /sbin/lilo
Now relink the /dev/cdrom to your scsi emulation of your cdwriter
# mv /dev/cdrom /dev/cdrom.bak
# ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
Reboot. (I don't know how to restart with new conf.modules and rc.local
in linux :( )
Run dmesg to see if your scsi emulation is working after the reboot
# dmesg

The blocksize of the file system ext2 seems to be 4096 Bytes (on my 30 GB
IDE hard disk). But I need a blocksize of 8192 Bytes.
Is it possible to mount ext2 with this blocksize? Or can I use another file
system which supports this blocksize?
Info: I want to copy a database to Linux which was created under HP-UX and
HP-UX works with a blocksize of 8192 Bytes. The copy is not the problem but
the use of the database under Linux is only possible if blocksizes are the
same.

Restart???
Now that's a nice windows attitude, but there's no need in linux
usually. (unless you recompile your kernel)
I fail to see why restarting would have changed anything, I sure don't
hope to expirience something like that on my PC.
