I tried a number of cards, but let's focus on two old Number 9 cards.

Both power up OK and work with SRM, and I can boot Linux in text mode.
Both cards will work in X in colour and both have a few meg of memory,
but of the two cards, the newer one is limited to 640*480 in 16 colours,
and the older is running at 1024*768 in 65k colours.

I'd assumed this was a driver problem.  What feedback could the monitor
try to give the card that the KVM switch could loose ?

The only problem with this Black Box switch is that it is damned
expensive, but at least it does the switching electronically from the
keyboard.

Yes, it does.  That's what I'm using.  Black Box, model KV132A.
You buy a chassis to which you can add up to four cards.  Each card has
four ins and one out so it will build to a 4x16 switch if needs be.

The problem is that not only are the box and cards expensive, but the
cables are ludicrously expensive !

This switched those too.  Having moaned about the price, I certainly
wouldn't be without it !  Going back would be unthinkable !

For synchronising from one ntp server:
ntpdate <IP>

You can also use "rdate", which uses the time service provided by inetd on most 
systems, thus avoiding the need to set up an ntp server.

Ideally, you would sync at least one (the master) machine to a known-good internet 
server. e.g. ntpdate ntp.demon.co.uk

If you only "assume" that POP must need to run, then you might not really need it. If 
you are wanting to draw in mail to your server from POP3 accounts on remote servers, 
then you want to look at fetchmail which will do this. Fetchmail will then feed it in 
to your local SMTP (25/tcp) port, the same as all of your other incoming mail. 
Sendmail can then organise its delivery.

You need a POP3 server only if you want others to be able to draw their mail out of 
your mail server to remote locations.

Hope this saves you some trouble!

Anyone know of a new, big, hairy, scary, Linux distribution that takes

It's worth pointing out that once you get to the point where you can recompile your 
kernel, you get to choose what processor it's compiled for, and hence it can take 
advantage of the later features of superior processors. Choices are:
386, 486/Cx486, 586/K5/5x86/6x86, Pentium/K6/TSC, PPro/6x86MX

As you asked, I am using Debian 2.2 on an AMD K6-2. Memory requirements for what you 
could call the core systems (kernel, X, icewm, a few daemons) are less than 20MB.

Well... At least you know how to do it now :-)

But there is an easier way...
Use the rpmfind utility that is available. If you go to rpmfind (root server
I think of rpm releases) you can get it there...
Then when you want to update/install a package you do a   rpmfind --upgrade
I think it is. That will upgrade both the package and all dependancies.

Hey,
Here is how to turn PnP off (roughly :-)

When your computer is booting, the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System)
should be listing info as it probes; IDE, Memory, etc.
It should also say  something like "Press del to enter setup.", if so by 
all means press del :-)  If it does not say anything, like it is just a 
splash screen just press when you see it, (a notable violator is Compaq) 
you will need to just try different keys untill it works.  If it is a 
Compaq you will probably need to press F10 of F8, maybe del.  I would not 
worry about screwing things by pressing keys when it is booting, because 
any critical setting should have an "Are you sure.." sort of thing.

Once you are in the BIOS conf screen, you will need to navigate the the 
appropriate menu, read the on screen instructions to see how for your 
particular BIOS.

Let me say that I can not be held responsible for you computer melting 
down, and what not, etc.
This is just info, it is not to be used w/o common sense, your 
mileage may vary, you know that sort of thing :-)
As for needing to to turn PnP off, you will have to decide if that 
is necessary of not.  As for me, and my LinkSys LNE100TX, I did not need to 
fiddle with PnP.  I shutdown, inserted card, restarted (did not detect (no 
problem)) Linux, compiled the drivers, and installed the drivers, then I 
restarted.  I would not have had to restart, but I was not as knowledgeable 
back then ;-)  If you want help installing a LinkSys LNE100TX on a Red Hat 
box, I could probably help, otherwise a good place to start is the 
Ethernet HOWTO <http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html>.
It has lots of good info that is beyond the scope of this NG post ;-)

Hope this Helps,
               Genesis

Subject: Booting with 576KB conventional RAM ...or less.
Date: Sat, 02 Dec 2000 20:06:42 +0100

Hi.

I've got a problem. A real one.

About three years ago we bought a killer machine (by thoose days), a
Fujitsu-ICL teamserver M754i, a quad PPro with 512MB RAM . The machine
has been running OK until the moment we needed to upgrade the OS (that
was UnixWare 2.1.2.) in order to install Oracle8i. The option were to
spend lots of money and learning time with Unixware 7 or to install (
tachannn!) Linux. We took the second option.

I've been installing RedHat for several years, so I took  the RedHat 7
CD-ROMs tha I had on my table, and I have succesfully installed several
times in dual Pentium machines, and went to install the above mentioned
machine. Installation went fine, but it was unable to boot the OS after
finishing. After sometime discarding possible causes of the problem, I
disabled the SCSI BIOS and got enought memory to boot from the boot disk
made by the installation procedure. It would have been OK (not fine, but
OK) except for the fact that the kernell in the floppy disk was a NON
SMP kernel.

The BIOS told that the conventional memory available was 576 KB, no
matter what options I enabled or disabled  in the BIOS. There was no
means to disable the system BIOS shadow on RAM, the only option left to
increase the conventional memory. On the other hand, the kernell, when
it boots, recognizes all the installed memory. I think the problem is
with the boot loader that is unable to fit the whole kernel in memory
due to the low ammount of conventional memory. Do you agree?

>From this point on I've tried several booting options :
    - Making a boot disk with the smp kernel installed in the machine.
    - Using  syslinux instead of lilo.
    - Compiling lilo with LARGE_EBDA enabled and making a boot disk.
    - Using GRUB instead of lilo
    - Using loadlin from a msdos 6.22 disk instead of lilo.
In the best cases the machine frozes after printing "OK, booting the
kernel" in the screen.

In the meantime I've got BootMagic and I'll try it on monday (if I dont
get any better suggestion).

Oh! Iforgot to tell you, I called Fujitsu support (Fujitsu Customer
Services) and I was told that there was no way of disabling  the system
BIOS shadowing, that was a feature included in the design of the machine
and, by the way, Linux was not a supported OS for this machine. Good
luck and goodbye.

I would appreciate any suggesions, hints or workarounds to solve or
overcome this problem.

(Crying)
I've tried to cut my veins with a Windows98 CDROM, but it did not work
(even for this). Please help me!
(Serious again)

Thanks in advance.

Juan.

  Not what I had in mind, either.  Thanks to RH 7.0 screwing up my system,
but especially thanks to RH knowingly shipping a distro with a bug that
would bring down my system if not fixed right away (to which they supplied
the fix, but still . . . ), I swore off Redhat and ordered Mandrake 7.2
Powerpack on Thursday, 'cause I've been hearing such good things about it. 
Can't wait to play.

  I would think the O'Reilly book would be just fine, but see also
