did you click on the second hard disk tab? perhaps it depends on the type of

Harddrake and fdisk work differently, I am not sure how though, this could

Well the overlay software i guess is on your harddisk, and the linux boot
stuff is on floppy.
1. if it all works ok, then why worry, or rist breaking it, however I
guess it would be nice to know anyway.
Try editing the grub config file directly, (this may be dangerous so I would
check first to see if this is ok, e.g with other users I am NOT a expert
just offering suggestions).

try running the sound config utility, I had a similar problem on my system.
ran this and got good results, until that is I ran malstrom, and the sound
broke, I am using RHL 7.1 with kernel 2.4.2 and this has been rebuilt,
with a via motherboard and k6/2 processor.
you may also need to check the hardware how to to see if it is supported,
and at what level. beta, alpha, finished, or not supported.

Bingo. Spot on.
Actually this is even more involved than I thought. Here's my discoveries:
If a keybinding exists for S-<Fn>, then C-h k S-<Fn> reports the binding for
S-<Fn>. Otherwise it reports the keybinding for <Fn> *IF it exists*. If neither
<Fn> or S-<Fn> are bound, then C-h k reports <Fn> or S-<Fn> as appropriate.
So, to summarise: C-h k lies about the shift modifier on function keys *only*
when the base function key is bound and the shifted form is not.
Thanks Kai - good intuition there :-) Is this documented somewhere? It probably
should be ...
Cheers,
Toby Haynes

Hi! I'm in the process of setting up a linux server -- but I don't
know where to begin. I've never used linux before.
What I want to do is make a web page with news content (database with
news items that I can update via a web interface) and functions like
forum, polls etc. The standard news site stuff.
I've gathered that I need apache, php and mysql - but I really need
some guidance. What do I have to get, and how do I manage to set up
the server and create the code. Tips for books and online help would
be much appreciated.

Some rpms are NOT relocatable.
You can use: --badreloc along with --relocate to force a non-relocatable

>| Has anybody seen a floppy drive controller that let you use alternate IRQ

That's part of my frustration back in the PC-AT days when the
Western Digital WD1003 floppy/MFM controller was the standard:
they had jumpers for primary/secondary address on the hard drive and
floppy controllers, but none for IRQ or DMA, making that useless!
It was years later that secondary hard drive controllers had
IRQ jumpers to make it useful
(I think the shareware "4drives" had documentation how to cut and solder
the proper traces to alter the IRQ to allow 2 hard drive
controllers / 4 drives way back in the DOS / Win 3.1 days).
[somewhere I have a PC running DOS and the 4drives driver just to prove
it's possible to run
- ST506/MFM primary controller with 2 drives
- ATAPI/EIDE secondary controller with 2 drives
- SCSI
concurrently!]
For a while "floppy tapes" were popular (tape drives with floppy interface).
"Tape accelerator" cards were popular then, with 1MHz, 2MHz data rates
as well as the usual 250kHz, 500kHz for floppy drives.
They may have used other DMA, IRQ to operate independently of the
floppy controller (my cards are out of reach at this time).
[that's why I believe that 2.88Meg floppy support is still there:
floppy interfaced tapes and such benefit from the 1 MHz data clock]
Somewhat related: there are floppy drives with SCSI interfaces
(such as Iomega's 20 meg floptical drives),
and little piggyback/daughter cards that convert SCSI to floppy interface,
as well as old old "bridge" cards that convert SCSI to floppy, MFM, QIC, etc.
I plan to have >2 floppy drives on my Linux machine soon
to read in hundreds of floppies which I'll archive on CD.
[most are DOS format so I can read it as files instead of binary image]
[sadly, the autoloading floppy duplicator in the office is a
stand-alone machine, no interface to just read a stack of floppies].

Subject: Weird Linux CD-ROM Problem
Date: 12 Jun 2001 14:44:57 -0700
Ok...this is a fairly strange problem that I don't even know how to
begin fixing. I have Linux Mandrake 8.0 installed on my Thinkpad
i1400 laptop. I initially had problem installing off of a CD that a
friend burned for me, but I attributed this to a bad downloaded iso
image and I downloaded the install straight to my hard drive and
installed from the hard drive. Now, I think that the cd is really not
corrupted and is related to a problem with my cd-rom operating in
Linux.
Now, after working out most of the kinks in my system, I have really
started to use it. My first problem relating to the CD drive has to
do with a CD that I had filled with my favorite mp3 songs. In
windows, this cd always played fine in Winamp and the songs worked
great. However, I noticed that, in Linux, the majority of the songs
get cut off anywhere from 30% to 90% of the way through. XMMS just
stops playing. KDE Media player also stops in the same spot. I
thought that the songs must have been corrupted when they were burned
onto the cd, but, like I said, they work fine in windows off of the
cd.
To try to see if it was a corruption problem, I did a diff on one of
the songs that I had on the cd with an identical song on my hard
drive. The diff encountered an I/O error when it tried to do the
compare. I then tried copying the song to the hard drive from the cd,
but the copy stalled at about the same % as the song would stop
playing in XMMS and I got a copy error. If I copy the song in windows
to the hard drive, then go back into linux and do a diff, the two
songs are identical.
What could be causing this problem??? I'm absolutely clueless as to
how to proceed. Any help is much appreciated.

One issue is whether you have PC133 or PC100 RAM, many boards unstable at
PC133, but BIOS defaults to PC100, so many never see the problem.
There's a review of various Athlon boards which discusses which ones are
solid, some popular ones Abit K7T for instance are not.
Too complicated an issue to figure out on USEnet in a thread, I'd love to
know an easier way to make sure hardware is solid. I lost so much time
debugging hardware before Christmas, when the probs were unknown, sent
boards back in end. Wasn't sure if it was another reason, hence I made no
report on lists.
There's going to be a lot of Via users irritated by the DMA black list,
when they move to newer kernel version! Maybe Via will help sort it out,
rather than pretend there's not a problem.

Try downloading the latest -ac series kernels, the change log lists some
