Paul, this may have something to do with Linux, the boot loader or
the format type on C:. I haven't used Linux. Suggest you change the

You have to assign a useful meaning to the NUM LOCK key in your x
configuration. If you use xmodemap, then an .Xmodmap file should
contain the lines:
keycode 77 = KP_F1
keycode 112 = KP_F2
keycode 63 = KP_F3
keycode 82 = KP_F4
The List of keysyms is in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h
Use xev to find keycodes for keys on your keyboard.

I have linux serving as the gateway to dsl. In the same box I installed
dhcp to dynamically assign ip address to my other machines. I configured
another machine using Solaris8/Intel. Then I found during system start up,
the hostname was replaced by "unknown" although it was given an ip number.
I believe linux dhcp did this. However, I don't know how to keep the

Subject: errors creating tulip module dependencies
Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 02:58:55 GMT
I'm trying to install a Linksys network card according to the
instructions at http://www.linksys.com/support/support.asp?spid=25
I'm running RH6.2, so I decided to install it as a module. I
downloaded the latest files, compiled tulip.c, and did the moving and
copying. Then I ran depmod -a
I got the following error:
unresolved symbols in ..../tulip.o
pci_drv_unregister
pci_drv_register
I'm guessing that I need to compile the pci-scan.c file somehow. I'm
not sure how to do this though. Could anyone give me a hand?
I'm a linux newbie, but familiar with programming.
Thanks,

Okay, forgive me for wasting bandwidth... a slight case of RTFM

I had to do. Once I did that, it worked like a charm.

When netscape can't save the bookmark, then it is re-install time because
netscape messed-up somewhere; however, when the re-install is being done
one hasn't lost the old bookmarks.

Hello all,
I have an AWE 64 ISA soundcard that works. But just not in Linux. I
compiled the OSS drivers for it into my kernel and it is trying to use
DMA and IRQs that are unavailable, leaving me with no sound. How can
I tell the kernel to use different values. I have tried playing with
ISA PnP Tools, but those don't seem to work well.

For some totally unknown to me reason, I had to link my
/etc/ppp/*-secret files to /etc/sysconf/network-scripts before I could
make it work. I found that by setting up a seperate debugging log for
the ppp daemon. Several have said I shouldn't have to, so YMMV.

This is THE most important part, you have it before your eyes constantly.
Then RAM, investment in RAM gives better speed improvement than CPU internal
clock.
If the CPU works 1.7% or 4.2% of the time, who cares.
Bleeding edge M/B will let you know that they need few more years to be 99%
reliable, usually at the wrong moment.
On different note, Linux performs on antiquated hardware with supprising
speed, that the OS not hardware that makes big diff.
So invest smartly, and no matter what you buy today in half a year it is
nothing to brag about.

I give up.
Netscape takes forever (5 minutes) to show the
first web page after I boot the machine,
even if it it has an ip address on my local
network for the webpage to display.
This makes me think it is not a DNS problem and
its on the same network (actually apache
server on the same machine). After the first
web page, all web pages are fast.
Any clues??

Some thoughts. During installation did the X windows work okay? ie did

If so all should be well after you type startx (after login)
I assume you installed X windows. If not there is no server so no GUI
