'ello! :)
I'm trying to install Linux drivers for my Soft56K modem... I'm using
PCI_56K_V2_K2.2.17 from the linmodems web site.
So far, I've managed to persuade it to recognise my modem, but when it comes
to load a number of modules using insmod it starts to grumble about a number
of missing symbols - most notably tq_scheduler and vmalloc.
The drivers are designed for kernel version 2.2.17 and I'm using Mandrake v8
with a kernel of 2.4.3-20mdk.
As far as I can tell, these functions were included in 2.2.17... Is there
anyway to persaude the drivers to work under the kernel that I'm using???
Many thanks,
Ben

Try to include in your fstab some kind of the following :
/dev/(device) /(mount point) vfat user, owner, exec, dev, suid, rw,
uid=(linux owner uid), gid=(linux owner gid), umask=0 1 1
Therefore, share should be mounted at system boot, with "rwx" available to
everyone, with uid and gid set to whatever stated (although not changeable,
once mounted).

I don't know, but I would imagine that the windows machine would need to
run a ssh-daemon, for it to be able to accept incoming connections. But
I don't lnow if one exists.
Assuming that pscp.exe works comparable to the file-copying over ssh
under unix (scp) what you could try to do is, on the windowsmachine the
equivalent of
scp user@machine:/path/to/file local_file.ext
which copies the file "/path/to/file" from the remote host "machine" to
a local file "local_file.ext" after logging in with the login "user".
You can even copy files in such a fashion between two machines from a
third"
scp user@machine_1:/path/to/file foo@machine_2:~/file_destination

The problem with that is that I don't always know prior to boot what
shares are going to be mounted. I run a script that goes out and
looks at the network, sees what's available, creates the mount points
if necessary, and then mounts them. I suppose that I can do it for
some known shares, though...
If I just included all those options in the mount command, would that
do it?

That isn't a proxy, its a proxy autoconfiguration script (JavaScript that
tells the browser what proxy to use for what URLs.) Find out the actual

cp -a, not cp -r.
-r is a mistake. It will copy the contents of symlinks instead of the
symlinks. You mean -R if anything. And -p, and -d. I.e. -a.
(man cp).
COme to that, this will cp /proc. You really don't want that, but you
can get rid of it later. Personally I'd use tar - pipe - tar. See
the Partition HOWTO for details.

I've also tried proxy.civil.auc.dk and wwwproxy.civil.auc.dk that should be a
proxy, shouldn't it?
Is it correct that only lynx.cfg that have to be modified to use a proxy?

Subject: Newbie question - keyboard and mouse won't work in KDE or Gnome
Date: Mon, 28 May 2001 21:49:04 +0100
I have tried my first installation of Linux in the form of Mandrake 8.0
(installed as the only OS on the computer). My only problem is that neither
the keyboard or mouse works when in a graphical interface. I first tried
the normal installation (graphical) and I could not get past the first
screen (select your keyboard). I then tried the text interface and my
keyboard works fine. I can complete the install in text but run into
problems when the machine boots for the first time. It happly boots into
the linux graphical interface (either KDE or Gnome) but again the keyboard
or mouse wont work.
Any suggestions most welcome
Thanks

Did you remember to edit /etc/lilo.conf to reflect the new location,

Date: Mon, 28 May 2001 21:18:54 GMT
Greetings,
I just installed the "boxed" version 7.1 of Red Hat Linux using a custom
install. I made sure the firewall was disabled, yet I cannot Telnet, FTP or
send email to my Linux box. I have network connectivity including a working
DNS server - I can ping to/from the box via hostname.
I've scoured all the Red Hat documentation and can't find any reason for
this except for a small change I needed to make to the sendmail.cf file
(which I made). Since I'm new to Linux, I'm guessing I'm just missing
something stupid!!

Do the windoze first, MS doesn't admit there are other OS's and will
probably trash the linux install if you do it first.

Easiest way would be to not use DHCP. Linksys router starts handing out
IP's at 192.168.1.100... make your linux box 192.168.1.10 for example, or
something below 100... then give it the DNS info, and set the gateway
to 192.168.1.1 (the default linksys IP, unless you changed it).

Subject: RedHat Certification: Worth it?
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Mark Johnson)
Date: Mon, 28 May 2001 21:25:39 GMT
I was thinking about getting my redhat certification in effect to get some
so-called "real" hands on training by some "real" linux admins. Perhaps,
I'm a bit naive.
I looked up certification on redhat site and for close to $2000 this is
what is considered Basic Training:
* Issue essential Linux commands from the bash shell command line
* Launch applications from the command line and GNOME interface
* Use and customize the X Window System and GNOME desktop environment
* Perform common tasks using GNOME GUI applications
* Understand the Linux file system
* Perform common file maintenance tasks
* Understand and maintain file access permissions
* Copy files to and from a floppy diskette
* Open, edit and save text documents using the vi editor
* Use regular expressin pattern matching
* Filter and process text
* Use printing commands and utilities
* Understand and use email and related applications
* Connect processes and files using standard I/O and Pipes
* Control system processes
* Query packages on your system
* Use network applications and utilites
* Communicate and transfer files securely
* System tools for the user
* Perform basic bash shell scripting, sed, awk and perl
* Install Red Hat Linux
* Miscellaneous topics
All of which, I can pretty much handle and have learned on my own. If were
to do a trainig class I might charge about $150/person possibly even less.
There are 2 other tracks (which I'm mainly interested in) both about $2000
and last for 4 days. I am suspicious because if they want to change $2000
for a basic class that I would value at about $150 - I have to wonder about
the other to training classes.
Should I save my money? What I find invaluable about good training classes
is personal stories and real-life experices told by the instructors (which
is exceedingly rare) -- this is what I'd be hoping for from doing formal
training.
Any suggestions?

Honestly, I looked at these too. But the skills they were teaching didn't
seem equal to the cost they were charging. As you say, you can learn much
of that on your own. I found it more cost effective to take courses at a
nearby tech institute that offered both Unix and Linux sysadmin and
networking support courses.
Of course, I didn't get a "Redhat" certificate..but then, not everyone is
using Redhat. A broader understanding (not RH centric) might end up being
a better thing to have.

I have to recover about 20 important files so a full recovery
would be great but isn't too important.
Sorry to ask you, what kind of recovery program do you recommend?
PQ discontinued lost and found and I bought one of them
but turns out it was the wrong one.
