Hmm... M$ advocate, huh?
Anyhow. I presume you're hooking the two NICs up to the same 100Mb
ethernet segment? If that's the case, how can your system possibly achieve
>100Mb throughput if your medium can't? Two NICs would only be handy if
your program is overloading a single NICs buffers (but still less than
100Mb). Also, don't forget that Ethernet starts to _really_ suffer at
about 60% utilization.....

I just installed linux debian 10 or so days ago, but since installing
the Helix version of gnome
http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/
I get a regular screensaver instead of the dead black screen, so it
doesn't look powered down. The Helix version of gnome kicks butt,
too.
If I knew what settings gnome changed to replace the black screen with
a screensaver I'd explain it, but I'm too new to linux to know beans.

Thanks. This explains why I can't find it as a file.

FAT32X is a primary FAT32 partition that ends cylinder 1024 or later.
The content is exact the same as a FAT32 partition. The ID (type) of a
FAT32X partition is 0x0C. For other FAT32 partitions it is 0x0B.
If the partition ends (0 based) cylinder 1023 or below, you can safely
change the ID from 0C to 0B using Linux fdisk.

OK, David. I could use your help on this.
I have redhat 6.1 ppp working on my linux box and I can ping the 4
Win9x computers on the ethernet lan. I'm ready to set up the windows
computers so that I can see the internet.
What do I change in the network setup on my windows boxes and then
what do I need to add to my linux setup? I don't have diald as ppp
dials without it using just ifup. I used linuxconf to set up my modem
and didn't do anything else. I don't think I have ip-masq and don't
even see it on my rpm cd. You can see I'm lost and could use some
help.

For whatever reason, the DVD player works under 98 but not NT.

kernel version 2.2.16 which patch is for me? patch 2.2.16 or patch
2.2.17? Will the patch upgrade the kernel one step higher? or I have to
download all over again the new kernel? If I'm at 2.2.14 and I want to

Subject: Installing RealProducer Plus 6.0 in Red Hat Linux 6.0
Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2000 12:51:30 -0700
I recently encountered a great deal of frustration trying to set up
RealProducer 6.0 on my Linux box. While seeking help on line, I found
many answers and also discovered that many others have had similar
difficulties. In an effort to minimize wheel-reinventing (which I
myself may have done), I am posting the knowledge I gained from the
horrible experience. Hopefully, Deja and other USENET search sites will
grab onto this information and make it available to all who seek it.
The original version of these notes -- which may have been updated by
the time you read this -- is at
http://sharkysoft.com/tutorials/notes/linux/realproducer/
=====
Installing RealProducer Plus 6.0 in Red Hat Linux 6.0
To install, configure, and run RealProducer Plus 6.0 on a Red Hat Linux
6.0
machine, you must follow a complicated though managable process. These
instructions may be obsoleted by newer versions of RealProducer for
Linux.
Please send feedback if you discover anything interesting.
1. First of all, make sure you have the two distribution tarballs: the
original program and the patch.
o rprodg2_linux.tgz (program distribution)
o rprodg2_patch.tgz (patch)
If you don't have these files, you cannot continue. Obtain them
from
the RealNetworks web site. You can download the patch from
http://docs.real.com/docs/rprodg2_patch.tgz.
I'm not sure where to find the other file (please tell me if you
know).
These instructions will assume you have both files and that you
have
placed them in root's home directory (typically /root).
2. Now, log into your system as root:
3. Unpack the file rprodg2_linux.tgz into a temporary directory:
mkdir /tmp/rprod
cd /tmp/rprod
tar xzvf ~/rprodg2_linux.tgz
4. From the temporary directory, run the installer:
./install
5. Follow the instructions from the installer. Accept all of the
defaults.
6. After the installer has finished, believe it or not, the
application is
still not ready to run. You'll need to patch it. Patching is a two
part
process. (For more information on patching RealProducer for Red Hat
Linux 6.0, see
http://service.real.com/help/faq/reg2faqa1.html#linux.)
7. For the first phase of the patch, unzip the patch tarball into the
directory where you installed RealProducer.
cd /usr/local/rprod
tar xzvf ~/rprodg2_patch.tgz
8. For the second phase of the patch, run the patch program that was
just
deposited into RealProducer's bin directory:
cd bin
./patchrprod
9. Now, if you want to run RealProducer as a non-root user (and you
should), then you need to make a few more changes to your system.
Start by creating a new group of authorized RealProducer users
called
"rprod":
groupadd rprod
10. Next, give group write permission to the RealProducer run-time
library
"lib/enceng.so.6.0" (after making a copy file of the file you are
about
to compromise):
cd /usr/local/rprod/lib
cp enceng.so.6.0 enceng.so.6.0.bak
chgrp rprod enceng.so.6.0
chmod g+w enceng.so.6.0
I have not figured out why this file needs to be writable by the
user,
but I suspect is has something to do with limiting the number of
simultaneously executable copies (when you are running the free
version).
11. Lastly, add the users authorized to run RealProducer to the new
group.
12. And that should be it. Log out and back in as a new user and give
it a
try:
xrealproducer
(Don't forget to load your sound and video drivers first.)
Happy producing!

Subject: red-hat 6.2 installation problem on HP pavilion
Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2000 14:57:06 -0500
Hi
I have got an HP Pavilion 8755 (Pentium III, 128 MB RAM, 30 GB HD,
M90
monitor). The machine has Windows-Me running on it. I started with
installation of Red-hat on it. This is what I did:
Using fdisk, I removed all partitions, and created a new primary DOS
partition using 15 GB of my hard disk. The rest was left untouched
to be
used by linux installation. Then I put Windows back on this disk.
Till now
everything is working. Now I start booting the system with Red-Hat
CD.
First of all I cannot run the GUI version of installation. I do not
know
why (any clue), but it is not important at the moment. OK I start
with the
text mode. Now, if I go to "server-mode" installation, the
installation
program takes over the control and deletes all partitions and can
continue
with making new partitions, and starting the setup. This actually
deletes
my Windows. That probably means there is no specific hardware
incompatibility, at least during the installation of non-X
applications.
(I have actually another problem here for introducing the graphics
to
Linux at this stage, but let's leave it for later).
When I try either the "workstation" or the "custom" modes of
installation,
at the stage of "druid" generating file_systems I get a strange
error. The
program is always complaining that "boot file_system is too large",
even
if I ask for allocation of only 1 MB on /boot file_system. What if I
delete this partition? The complain is there, but this time the /
directory is considered as the boot file_system, and "druid" cannot
allocate any space to it. OK when I try to ignore this, and say "OK
perhaps /boot is not necessary. Let's continue.", the installation
task in
terminated and I get the "signal 11" error.
I appologize for my long email, and thank you for your assistance.
