Okay, thanx,
I'll try to find an answer to this, cause I can't stand to be puzzled

Subject: Saving desktop question
Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2000 06:35:26 GMT
I am running RH 6.2, Enlightenment and GNOME. Every time I log onto the
system with my user account I have to setup my desktop the way I like it. I
open "File Manager" and move it over to the top right of my screen where I
like it. I then enlarge the "File Manager" window the way I like to see it.
I then save the session and logoff and check the box telling it to save my
settings. When I log back on nothing is saved. "File Manager" is a SMALL
window again back in the upper left side of my screen! Is there a way to
save my desktop after I get it setup the way I like it like in "MS Windows"?
Thanks for your help.

Subject: Using a tape drive
Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2000 06:37:48 GMT
Hello,
I have a Sony sdt-5200 dds2 DAT tape drive, internal SCSI; RedHat
v6.2.
I have been unable to access the drive. An earlier post about this
got the observation that tape drives are not mounted (as I thought). And
a quick test of the drive would be:
tar -cvf /dev/st0 /usr
Well. I got "Cannot access the device: I/O error"
Now what?
<rant>
Is there some reason why programmers have to emit such vague and
generally useless error messages? Obviously a lot more info is lurking
down there about what went wrong. How are mere mortals supposed to
decipher "I/O error"?
</rant>

David,
Changing the line to 'su news -c /etc/rc.d/rc.news' is fine - the
system bootscript you want to put it in is most likely
/etc/rc.d/rc.local - it really doesn't matter which of those files
(/etc/rc.d) you choose as most of them are bootup scripts, however, I
strongly recommend you use the rc.local as the others serve much more
specific purposes. When you run the rc.news binary and receive the 'no
command' error it is because the file is most likely pointing to an
incorrect location of innd. Edit the rc.news file and set the line to
the correct location of innd.

Found this in the (unmaintained) SCSI howto,
it states that SCSI disc too suffer from this 1024 cyl. limitation.
Did you (rootman) found by expirience that you had no such problem??
What LILO version where you using then? Or was it perhaps so that you
used loadlin/nuni unstead of lilo to boot linux?
Eric
6.4. Partitioning
You can partition your SCSI disks using the partitioning program of
your choice, under DOS, OS/2, Linux or any other operating system
supporting the standard partitioning scheme.
The correct way to run the Linux fdisk program is by specifying the
device on the command line. Ie, to partition the first SCSI disk,
fdisk /dev/sda
If you don't explicitly specify the device, the partitioning program
may default to /dev/hda, which isn't a SCSI disk.
In some cases, fdisk will respond with
You must set heads sectors and cylinders.
You can do this from the extra functions menu.
Command (m for help):
and/or give a message to the effect that the HDIO_REQ or HDIO_GETGEO
ioctl failed. In these cases, you must manually specify the disk
geometry as outlined in ``Disk Geometry'' when running fdisk, and also
in /etc/disktab if you wish to boot kernels off that disk with LILO.
If you have manually specified the disk geometry, subsequent attempts
to run fdisk will give the same error message. This is normal, since
PCs don't store the disk geometry information in the partition table.
In and of itself, will cause _NO PROBLEMS_, and you will have no
problems accessing partitions you created on the drive with Linux.
Some vendors' poor installation code will choke on this, in which case
you should contact your vendor and insist that they fix the code.
In some cases, you will get a warning message about a partition ending
past cylinder 1024. If you create one of these partitions, you will
be unable to boot Linux kernels off of that partition using LILO.
Note, however, that this restriction does not preclude the creation of
a root partition partially or entirely above the 1024 cylinder mark,
since it is possible to create a small /boot partition below the 1024
cylinder mark or to boot kernels off existing partitions.

I use DHCPD to assign local ips to computer behind the firewall.
What I would also like to add is (speed/transfer rates) limitation to
some of the nodes in the intranet that use masqurading to the internet.
For instance, a node on the intranet 192.168.0.56 needs to be limited to
10k/sec when its packets are masquraded to the internet.

Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2000 08:14:15 GMT
Hi all!
I've just installed a new RedHat 7 on my ThinkPad 600E and I'm
experiencing problems with my PCMCIA Ethernet card.
It was fully supported under RedHat 6.2 but has problems with RedHat 7.
Here's the problem : when I start pcmcia, the card is recognized but I
then get the message :
cardmgr:bind 'pcnet_cs' to socket 0 failed: Operation not permitted
Then of course, no network.
What's the problem, and more what's the solution?...
I'm trying another kernel compilation but I'm not sure that it will
help. I'll post if it succeeds.
Thanks for help!

Actually, recompiling the kernel + installing pcmcia_cs in it fixes
