Get Norton Speeddisk - it's a far better defrag tool
You could also try defragging in dos mode since there are less static files
there.

If you dont mind cable then you could try telewest or NTL.
They both supply ethernet connected modems which are a doddle to use in

You can't patch the /boot/kernel directly -- you need to run the patch in the
/usr/src/linux directory and then rebuild the kernel.

Did you move to a different kernel version? If so, you'll have to
recompile alsa as well, against the new kernel.

If you are using alsa, the module you will want to load is
snd-card-ens1370. The alsa and kernel drivers are different, and its
totally possible that whatever you have isn't supported by the kernel
drivers (although I doubt it). Also, it is possible that you have an
ES1371 or 1373, in which case you will need to use the es1371 driver
(snd-card-ens1371 if you are using ALSA).

I'm running RH 7.0 and will soon be getting a CD (2disk set) for 7.1 from
LSL or Cheapbytes.
What is the best way to upgrade using CDs? Use the tools that launch
from the boot floppy? Or is there an app to use in a more regular way on
a running system?

Um... patches are meant to be applied to the *source* file, not the
compiled binary. You should be patching the kernel source and rebuilding
the kernel after the patch has been applied.
Check
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO-6.html
and the man page for "patch" for more info.

I use grub instead of lilo.
Check install docs to see how much space is required and create a
logical partition for the new OS.
Each new install uses the same swap space and I install new OS into
the MBR. I always pick custom/expert so as not to wipe my disk.
I then load my main OS rescue diskette and re-install grub, modify
/boot/grub/menu.lst with the new OS location.
I create mount points like rh72_, md80_,... to jump to other OSs when
I like.
I use e2label to label the partitions so as not to get confused
and use cfdisk to see the labels.

That depends. Do you want to do more with your system, and learn
about what's going on inside? If so, Linux will be a great experience
for you - but you have to be prepared to work and study a bit.
If, on the other hand, all you want from your machine is to do
what you're doing now, you're probably better off staying as you
are. Linux has a lot to offer, but it isn't handed to you on a
silver platter.
I like to use a camera analogy. Macs and Windows boxes - at least
as they're aimed at the general public - are like those disposable
point-and-shoot cameras. Push one button and you'll get an OK
snapshot, provided the light is good and things aren't moving too
fast. Linux systems, on the other hand, are like a professional
SLR; there are many adjustments you can get wrong, and you need
some understanding of the system before you can use it effectively.
But in the hands of a skilled user the pro camera can produce
stunning results, even under conditions (low light, fast movement)
that a point-and-shoot user wouldn't dream of attempting.

As others have said, it really is not a question of which distro is
"best". However, I'm minded of what Robert Heinlein said about
voting; that there may not be any candidate you want to vote *for*,
but there is bound to be at least one candidate you want to vote
*against*. With that in mind, I'd point out that there have been a
lot of messages on the NGs' moaning about problems with Red Hat 7.0,
so I'd steer clear of that one. I can't advise on 7.1, but I've been
pretty happy with 6.2. I have an acquaintance who is happy with Slack,
and I've heard some horror stories about Mandrake, but nothing I can
personally testify to.

"Caveat emptor!"
Before starting with partitioning, prepare WinME CD near by, as a precaution.
If re-install of MS-Glassware is easy for you then I would recommend installing
both OS's in a way that is sure to make least trouble.
It would involve creating with Linux fdisk (cfdisk) a small /boot partition
starting AND ending on cylinder No 1.
After that install Windows allowing it part of the hard drive.
When done with this install Linux on the rest of the drive, it will find the
/boot and use it.
This way you avoid possible issues with >1024 cylinders.
When finished you have dual booting system.
Have fun.

In my personal opinion, the "best" way is to do a clean install. If you
have a big enough hard drive, or multiple drives, then you can have both
7.0 & 7.1, and switch back and forth.
You have to ask yourself, "What do I gain by upgrading?" What will kernel
2.4.x do for me that kernel 2.2.x did not. How will my computing
experience change after the upgrade? I have 7.0 on my system, and I will
consider upgrade when 7.2 comes out, because there are a lot of stuff out
there not currently compatible with 2.4, yet.

More than enough. My 486/25 SX with 16M (floppy only; no HD) acts as

Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 01:07:00 GMT
HELP!!
I had two different copies of Red Hat on my system (6.2 and 7.0). After
upgrading the 7.0 to 7.1 yesterday, I decided to free up the partitions that
held the 6.2 "/boot" and "/" partitions. But I got my wires crossed and I
accidentally converted the /dev/hda2 which was my ext2 /boot partition to
"free space" using Partition Magic 4.0.
It "appears" that everything is still in hda2. When I boot, I get the normal
check on hda7 where the "/" for Redhat 7.1 resides, but it stops with an
error on hda2 reporting 32/6024 files and 7656/24097 blocks, I gather
because Partition Magic has marked that as "free space."
Is there a way to tell the system to convert this "free space" back to ext2
WITHOUT doing any writing/ formatting that might wipe out the data that
appears to still be in this "free space?" It appears that Partition Magic
did not do anything to the data, just changed some flag marking the type
partition it was. I have done *NOTHING* else to the file system awaiting
some expert help,
I am relatively new to Linux -- this is a good learning experience, but I
certainly do not want to start from scratch. I do have a Drive Image copy of
the RH7.0 system, but really don't relish a redo of the upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
