Thanks Andy !
I already changed the active partition to Windows C: and I can boot to
windows.
But i don't know how to install or boot linux under this situation even I
had tried to install with different setting, I'm so poor.

Amen.
Run the window$ box out through the Linux box.
By far the better setup.
One reason that's not often mentioned is that Linux has a *far* better
iplementation of the TCP/IP stack.
You're likely to find superior performance when both boxes are on the
'net simultaneously, as compared to the window$ box when it was all
by itself..

Just configure the two ports and see which one works when you try to

this with kwintv? Do I need a special driver? Is there some option I

There should be some kind of utility software that comes with the cards if
they are software configurable to allow you to set or view these settings;
you will have to put them in the DOS or Win9x system that will allow you
to run the accompanied software.
If the setting are hardware umpered, then just read off the settings from
the board and you're done.

An old one, Red Hat 5.2, because the Linux share of the hard drive
on the laptop is on 2 GB, mostly used. I don't have room to upgrade
until I establish the network connection to relocate the MS-Windows
partition.

Subject: unnecessary hard disk io
Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 00:20:06 GMT
i've been running redhat 7.0 on a i386 with a 30GB disk for several
months.
i have the problem that every few seconds, the hard disk is accessed
(the light goes on, makes noise). i have tried several times to figure
out which process is accessing the disk so frequently (for example, by
killing the processes one by one), have checked the logs, made sure
there was no network stuff going on, but i havent been able to figure
it out.
is there a good way to figure out the reason for the seemingly
unnecessary io? is it a configuration problem? is there a way at a low
level to figure out what processes are reading from or writing to the
disk?
i dont think its a hardware problem as the disk grinding doesnt occur
under windows 98.

I have been having the same problem and i had 'imwheel -k &' in my .bash_profile
However i am using XFree86 3.3.6
Is this a problem also? Do you need XFree86 4.* to get it to recognise the mouse?

I can't really understand why people want to

an OS which requires all of its users to know how
to use makefile can go that far? After all, even
primitive DOS 1.0 doesn't require me to graduate
with a CS degree first before I start using it?
If a resource requires so much background knowledge
before anyone can really use it, then what's the
difference does it make compares to not having the

Most likely, the swap is accessed regularly, as linux tries to use all
memory (why leave it just sitting there, gathering dust?) and therefor
some swap space will also be used, resulting in disk seeks, reads and
writes.
Second the log files will regularly be added to.
Some programmes like cron check their config files quite often. AFAIK
some disc activity is normal, even without you explicitly running any-
thing. Just the kernel, and some (kernel) daemons is enough. If you
don't like that sound, make a large ram-disk, copy everything from
hard disk to that ram-disk, and you won't need the hard-disk anymore.
Admittedly not a very usefull way of spending your RAM, but things do
speed up considerably. The fact that the disk never spins down because
it never gets idle, isn't much of a concern. More wear and tear would be
caused by stopping and starting the drive all the time then by just
allowing it to spin continuously, besides, most drive failure is caused
by failure of the surface, and the loss of sectors, rather then by failure
of the engine or of the axis and ball-bearings.
It is annoying though when the server is standing near your bed, or when
the disk sounds like a washboard. You can change some parameters of yur
disk with tune2fs, others in your /etc/fstab. On some partitions the
mount option "noatime" is usefull, it does not allow updates to the inode
access times on those filesystems, saving you a number of writes.
But to find out which processes acces a file system use "fuser" on that
file system.

Me neither Mark. ;-)
I've tried just about everything I know how to do, everything the
writers of the XawTv and Kwintv applications suggest in the way of
loading modules and module options and just don't get no stereo.
Boooo Hooooo, Po Me. Hell of a note ain't it.
I've got the WinTV Hauppage card, Works beautiful. Using a 2.4.2 kernel
with XF86 4.2 and just an STB V-128 vid card with only 8 meg of memory.
Can even get full screen resolution and extension by hitting a ctl, alt
- back into a 640x480 from 1280x1024 and hitting an f with graphics
that burn my eyes, but no damn stereo. I got it to auto seek with one
setting, but it just caused my picture to blink each time it queried.
If you come up with something e-me and I'll do the same for you.

It doesn't, I could teach a six year old howto start/play

Nope, to do what you can do with your WIN box, surfing the web/
write mails/docs etc. you don't need any CS degree, modern
distros will setup the system for you without to much
knowledge needed. The big advantage WIN has and in my opinion
one of the biggest cause of this monopoly:
1. It comes pre installed on every system joe schmoe user buys.
2. Marketing druids from Redmond were able to make people around the world
believe, that it would be normal, if your computer would crash once in a while
or need a reboot for even the simplest task.
Of course if you want to run servers and use all those advantages a
UNIX system like Linux has to offer to you, well there will be no
other way than reading/testing...But I'm a bit in doubt that joe user
will want that...

Subject: installing KDE
Date: 20 Mar 2001 01:29:22 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Anyone. I'm trying to install KDE on Linux Mandrake 6.5.
I've read the documentation that comes with the CD and
followed the instructions *carefully*.
It tells me to locate files:
qt-1.42-1rh51.mdk.rpm
kdesupport-1.1-7rh5x.mdk.rpm
and so on....
I mount the cdrom which contains these files and
from the cdrom (/mnt/cdrom) I type:
rpm -Uvh qt-1.42-1rh51.mdk.rpm
rpm -Uvh kdesupport-1.1-7rh5x.mdk.rpm
and so on...
It does something after each rpm command (shows hash marks but
that's about it) and I do this on 12 individual .rpm files
until I get to the last .rpm file and the documentation tells me that
"KDE is now installed in your Linux system!"
It then tells me to set KDE as the default gui for a user
by entering:
# /opt/kde/bin/usekde <username>
I type it with a username ("rprimici") that's been set up but
it tells me that /opt directory doesn't exist.
Sorry for the long story but I thought that any details would
help.
Question is, is KDE installed? If so, where can I find it?
I did a "find / -name usekde -print" and no file was found so
I'm confused if the doggone thing worked.
If I should do something else can someone please advise.
Thanks!

Maybe the only problem I'm having is that I'm asking, or trying to get
too much out of the machine, but maybe someone has run across it and has
an answer.
Machine is a homemade AMD K-6/2-550 3D, ALI chip set, STB Velocity 128
with 8 meg memory, system has 310 meg ram. RedHat 6.1 with most
everything in it upgraded, 2.4.2 kernel, XF86 4.2. Kernel is compiled
with frame buffer support, vga select and color vga console enabled and
works good in 301, 316 etc. ranges, and running either Helix Gnome or
KDE 1.1.2 and a ProView 720 monitor that is capable of 1280x1024 top
resolution(30-70, 50-120 ranges).
When KDM or GDM either one load up, they come up short on colors. A ctl
alt + shift in resolution cleans the problem up and once I'm in the
manager, I never seem to have any more problems with it.
More of a curiosity than a nuisance.

Thanks for your suggestions.
Maybe I didn't present myself clearly.
I've been using rp-pppoe in Mandrake 6.1 for several months and it works
fine. I've read the document from rp-pppoe. Of course, I've run
adsl-setup.
My problem is: When I do the same thing in SuSE 7.1, it doesn't work!
Is there anyone face this problem before? Is there any tricks in
setting up rp-pppoe in SuSE 7.1
Thanks for your help in advance

Ok, I tried that near the start of my investigation, selecting mute for
all channels and turning it off, plus messing with the various volume
controls -- with both aumix and KDE's mixer applet. One thing I discovered
during this procedure is that when my headphones are plugged into the
second audio plug on the card (can't tell what it says -- it's the green
plug between the black and the red), and I am playing a CD, I can heard the
music there just fine. This tells me that my audio cable is ok and the
sound is making it onto and through the sound card. I can mute this audio
by turning off *any* of these: Line2, Line3, Digital2.
Well... I guess I just solved my silly problem -- swapping the plugs did
it. :-p Now I get my lovely CD audio... and if for some reason I want to
listen to all-but-CD-audio, I can use the headphones. Interesting... all
those damn plugs on there, I dunno what half of them are for, anyway. :)
Thanks for your suggestion -- it prodded me into getting a clue! Now I
guess I'll go put a virgin entry into LHD for the CT4830. :)
