Hello,
2.4.2 compiles fine and will boot the resultant bzImage but the USB

Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 11:34:17 -0500
I just downloaded the latest KDE 2.1 binaries for Caldera eDesktop from
KDE's web site. How do I install KDE2? There is a script on Caldera's site
but it is for KDE 2.0 and assumes that all the packages are in the same
directory (as available on Caldera's site). The download I got from KDE's
site has all the packages in different sub-directories.
Ideally I would like to install eDesktop without KDE v1 and then go straight
to KDE v2. I am very new at this so please be specific in your
instructions.
Thanks,

Hmm, so it is. It does not seem to be _sh_ syntax, though. (Try running
that when bash is emulating sh. Also, the meaning of ">&" doesn't seem to
be the same in bash and csh, at least from my reading of the man pages ...)

I installed the binary code of Mesa-3.4 in Linux from rpm file. I found
that the widget support was not installed, that is, you cannot find the
include files GLwDrawA.h etc.
That I installed is Redhat version. I used the following commands:
rpm -i Mesa-3.4-8.i386.rpm
rpm -i Mesa-devel-3.4-8.i386.rpm
Anyone knows how to add the widget support? Thank you in advance!

Subject: Install hangs (Storm, Mandrake7.1) - mixed scsi/ide system.
Date: 28 Feb 2001 17:27:18 GMT
Install hangs, with no error dialog, during application phase, at
varying places. Using IDE cdrom drive, since it is the BIOS's
'boot' cdrom. The scsi cdrom does not bootup due to some IDE
preference here. Amibios. Storm (Debian) as well as Mandrake7.1-
same deal. No problems at all until the application stage where I
choose 'install everything'. I've tried 'expert' mode as well as
auto-install.
During one attempt the BIOS kicked the cpu speed down to
base-minimum, giving me a clue that the problem might be
speed-related. So I'm leaving it at 75mhz (AMD K586-166mhz cpu).
Doesn't help. So I'm guessing it might work if I can use the scsi
cdrom drive instead of the ide to do the install. Short of
disconnecting the ide cdrom drive, how can I force install from
the scsi?
Using Future Domain PCI scsi card (aka 'Adaptec AHA2920'). Not
the world's fastest scsi card, but it works fine for the past few
years with W98 and OS/2 Warp4.0. I also burn cd's fine with the
scsi cd-r drive (Philips 2600). Clearly, the scsi cdrom would
work better with the scsi harddrive, no?, assuming speed of data
transfer is a problem.
Thanx,
Vacuo

I installed many RH6.2 machines from an ISO image. However, I did it
through a network install. On the ftp server, I mounted the ISO image.
On the new machine, I use the bootnet.img (IIRC) to boot and used ftp
install. It worked flawlessly.

Use the 'owner' option

First, get a Dos boot disk, boot from there, and enter
fdisk /mbr
Now the mbr is restored for windows.
As for Lilo, I have several systems running dual boot with Linux, NT, Win95,
Win ME. They all have Lilo installed in the mbr. No problems. Look into some
dual boot howtos.

Ken to upgrade rpms one generally uses the --upgrade switch. -Uvh
works for me. So cd into the directory where your new rpms are and do
this as root: rpm -U *.rpm
Hope this helps

I found what wasn't working out, I figure out that it was the same model
as dc280 since I read this things everywhere and even for connecting on
gphoto I was using the dc280 model to make my camera communicate in
serial.
But by looking at the source code in dc2xx it was only looking at the
dc280 model, the ID of the too camera are different, dc280 is
{ 0x040a, 0x0130 }, // Kodak DC-280
and dc500 is
{0x040a, 0x0131 }, // Kodak DC-5000
so by adding that to the dc2xx.c source code and compiling the module
again, it worked out.
I now have my usb connection with my camera.
