I have recently installed SuSE 7.0, had 6.3 before but reinstalled reather
than upgraded. Anyway I have a Hauppage WinTV card (BT878 IC - from memory)
with a radio tuner.
Problem is that the out of the box installation works fine for the TV part
of the card, but the radio section won't work, tried a few different progs
such as Ktuner etc.. The bttv module is now included in the kernel so the
supplied manual is already out of date. I have tried uncommenting and
modifying the
relevant sections in the module.conf script, but no luck.
Has anybody got a TV/Radio card working under SuSE 7.0? If so how did you do
it, and or what tuner s/ware are you using?
Thanks
Chris

Just tried it on my machine - works OK.
The only difference is that I installed it as a non-root user into my home
directory.
Are you trying to run it as root? If you have another user, try installing
it as that user. It also installed icons into my kde menu.

I have been trying to run it as root.
I will try to reinstall it as a non-root user, but this will have to wait

Thanks for you help, I'll let you know what happens.

Subject: Problems of DHCP setting
Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2000 19:36:35 +0800
I try to use Linux for my server which install two Lan card, eth0 is
connecting to cable modem and eth1 connect to my win98. I want to share the
eth0 for win98 to surf internet, so I install the DHCP to Linux. I've
followed book's instructions to set up, even though I can surf internet by
linux, but win98 fail... I found that when I ran the /usr/sbin/dhcpd in
console, it show following message in the last few lines:
No subnet declaration for the eth0 (my ip address here)
Please write a subnet declaration for the network segment to which interface
eth0 is attached.
exiting.
Another, when I run "ifconfig", I also found that on eth0 shown "Tx
packets:3233 errors:3 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:3", is it normal in
"errors:3"?
Sorry that I still don't know the configuration, here I pasted some files
content, please help me and show me how to configurate these files,
thanks...

I have solved my problem, as I mentioned before I have

mt -f /dev/tape seek <blocknumber / 8>
and the tape seeks automagically to the right positon and I can restore

put in the mandrake installation disc and run 'fdisk -l /dev/hda`
When you can, drop to a shell <ctrl-alt-F(1 to 6, just try)>
I would like to see the output of that. (0x44 is not a partition ID I

PM is expensive cause it's good. But it tends to fail too on tables that
are not setup
with the same restrictions as PM uses. Don't go running to the shop just

Subject: RAMDISK Install error
Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2000 08:45:39 -0500
I am trying to do an FTP install of RH 7 on a 486/dx33 w/4M RAM. HDA is
1.2G.
I created the bootdisk with bootnet.img using rawrite. When attempting
install I get the following error:
Partition Check:
hda: unknown partition table
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0.
and it stops there. I have tried with a 30M DOS partition but thinking that
some kind of overlay was on the HD I used the old AMI BIOS hard disk format
routine to zap the drive.
Any suggestions on how to get around this? I successfully installed RH7 on
another machine using this disk so I believe the image is good.
Thanks!
