You can find generic SiS chipset 10/100 PCI cards for $10-$15 US.
The sis900 module works excellently with these cards.

Subject: licq
Can anyone tell me where the hell to get qt-devel-2.1 or higher in
tar.gz format so I can use licq?
I got the rpm and when I try to install the rpm it complains that I
already have version 1.44 installed. So I force the installation but
have no clue where the files were placed. I verify the install and I'm
told it wasn't installed but yet when I did the install the hard drive
was being accessed for probably 20 seconds while I thought the files
were being extracted from the rpm. As of yet I can't find any damn
website that has the tar.gz version of qt-devel so i can compile and
install it myself. This is a must as obviously the rpm won't work.
Actually when i used linux a couple years ago rpm didn't work then
either so no surprise it wouldnt work today even though it was telling
me everything was fine ( no error messages once I forced the
installation). Until I get the tar.gz version of qt-devel I have to use
gtkicq instead but I'd like to use licq if at all possible.
As a side note, as I said mentioned above, I used linux a couple years
ago and used licq then and I got it working b/c I had the tar.gz version
of qt-devel and was able to install it myself and compile it myself so I
knew where everything was going and I could control it. RPM sucks as I
can't control it and even when it looks like something was installed,
it's not. I wish I could remember where I got qt then but I can't.
Unfortunately the new version of licq uses the newest version of qt
which forces me to upgrade qt as well. Why can't they keep using the
same version of qt? geez
thanks

the current ext2 filesystem has a limit of 2 gigs for file sizes. This
has been raised in the newer kernels I believe, 2.4. You will need to
upgrade the kernel in order to get bigger filesizes.

I use RedHat, Mandrake "was" very tightly based on it. I have a 3C905
and cable modem.
Here, what makes the connection to the DHCP server and gets the information
needed is a utility named pump. Like this: pump -i eth0. After that pump -s
will reveal a lot of interesting stuff. An lsmod will show if the eth
drivers are loaded. If they are, pump should cause furious blinking on the
modem, for maybe 3 seconds, while information transfers to you. Your
/etc/resolv.conf will have been re-written after this, with the DNS IP's
filled in.

Well, reading documentation before editing files is

/etc/exports has do to with Network File System
/etc/fstab contains information about filesystems and
mountpoints.
/etc/smb.conf is the main configuration file for samba
(there is also a nmb.conf)
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb is the start/stop script for the smb-daemon.
You should only have to edit smb.conf if you want to export
directories to a win-machine. There is a good documentation
on samba available online (don�t know the url though;
you could also have a look in the man page).
> lastly, whenever I reboot the server samba does not start automatically. I

Depending on your runlevel, there should be link to smb
in the appropiate directory, e.g.
/etc/rc.d/rc.5/S91smb -> /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb
(S for start, the number is used by the main init-script to determine
the priority of the scripts, lower numbers get started first)

I have an Adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra SCSI host adapter which has worked fine
with kernels 2.2.14, 2.2.15 and 2.2.16. However when I try to run

I don't think that's the problem. The problem is that poor brain-damaged
Windows is still very stupid about disk partitions that belong to any other
OS. If any non-Windows partitions appear before Windows partitions on a
disk, then Windows will try to mount them. The solution is to put all
Windows partitions before all other partitions on each drive.

There are several possible ways to do that. Either use the Win2K
machine as a proxy, or setup NAT and IP Forwarding on it. Then
point the Linux box to be using the Win2K machine as gateway.
You could be using the ICS service as well, though this may be
a bit tricky to setup (it will only work with the local machine's
LAN IP being 192.168.0.1 and nothing else).

Hi,
I spent the last night with installing & configuring vmware 2.0, Suse 7 as host and
win98 as guest system.
I cannot however install the vmware-tools required for completing the win98 setup,
as the tools need to be installed from a floppy drive which I don't have. Floppy
drives
simply don't work on my machine, most likely a floppy controller malfunction on my
mobo.
Anyway, until now I didn't miss the floppy drive.
Any idea to bypass the need of a floppy drive for installing the vmware-tools?
All hints are greatly appreciated!

Date: Sun, 08 Oct 2000 12:19:21 GMT
How do I get a 20" monitor to use 1280x1024? (I had previously
been using a 17" monitor at 1024x768.) When I plugged the new
pixel dimensions into the "Screen" section of my XF86Config
file, and restarted X, the screen remained dark and I couldn't
even abort X with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. I know that neither the
monitor nor the video card are the problem because I can
dimension the screen at 1280x1024 in Windows 98.
I'm using Redhat Linux 5.1. I would assume that the X server from
that release I've been using, XF86_Mach64, can handle it
because the default XF86Config file that came with it has
several sample "mode" lines for 1280x1024.

Not really, except that your status looks a bit different than mine. (Adaptec
2940/HP35480A). With no tape in drive, I get:
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=-1, block number=-1, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x0 (default).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (4050000):
WR_PROT DR_OPEN IM_REP_EN
With tape inserted (write protected), I get:
SCSI 2 tape drive:
File number=0, block number=0, partition=0.
Tape block size 0 bytes. Density code 0x13 (DDS (61000 bpi)).
Soft error count since last status=0
General status bits on (45010000):
BOT WR_PROT ONLINE IM_REP_EN
Just a wild guess, but it looks like there might be a breakdown in communication
'tween drive and controller. Hopefully, someone with a working combination
identical to yours will chime in.
