If you have 2 PII 400's, why do you want to overclock them?  Isn't that 
fast enough?  I don't think you will see much of an improvement if you 
did overclock them to 450.  If you still want to overclock it, go to the
asus site (www.asus.com) and they have the jumper settings.  Hell, I
have
a single PII 400 and am pretty happy with the speed.

Get kernel source from a www.kernel.org mirror.
cp newkernel.gz /usr/src
cd /usr/src
tar zxpvf newkernel.gz

cp /etc/conf.modules conf.modules.old
mv /lib/modules /lib/modules.old

cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper

make xconfig or menuconfig
make dep; make clean; make bzImage;make modules; make modules_install
cp /usr/src/linux/system.map /boot/System-2.2.1.map
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzimage /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.1

Add to /etc/lilo.conf,
then run /sbin/lilo -v

Maybe your DAT drive is getting bad?

If you can, test the DAT drive on another OS or machine, that will tell
you if it is an OS issue or a DAT drive issue.

Well I'm jealous.  Nice system.

This HOWTO might be useful:
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/mini/Large-Disk.html

Partition magic should work ok, I don't know about fips.

RH5.2 should be fine.  I'd check the Xfree pages to be sure the X-indows
supports
your graphics adaptor.  http://www.xfree86.org/

I've had no luck and very little experience getting sound to work under
linux.

I'm considering purchasing a Gateway Performance 400 PC and would really
like
to run Linux on it in addition to Win98.  Here are the specs:

Intel 400MHz Pentium II Processor with 512k Cache
64MB 100MHZ SDRAM
16MB 3DFx Voodoo Banshee AGP Graphics Accelerator
13GB 5400RPM Ultra ATA hard drive
13Xmin/32Xmax. ATAPI IDE CD-ROM drive
Integrated Sound Blaster AudioPCI 64D  Boston Acoustics BA635 Speakers
w/Subwoofer

I'll be providing my own 17" monitor and 56k USR modem (not winmodem). I
would like to partition the last 5GB on the hard drive for Linux and keep
the
first 8GB for Win98.  Will this work?  Will I need something like partition
magic or will fips work?  What distro of Linux would work best if Linux
will
work at all?  I use RH 5.2 at work and am most familiar with that distro
but
would be willing to consider another.

Thanks for any help,

Hi,I'm presently setting up a new server with Redhat Linux 5.2 and doing
level 0 dumps on tape with an HP DAT8 with dds-1 tapes (2gb-4gb compressed).
The dump and restore works fine on the machine.
Then i put the tape on another server which has an hp surestore 2000 tape
and it is unable to read the tape.Both tapes need to be compatible! Is there
any way we can verify the setting for a tape ex:blocks, compression, etc...

I think the HP DAT8 uses compression by default and that is why I can't read
the tape from hp 2000!

I would appreciate technical advice on this matter!
Thanks!

This video card is not listed at xfree86.org, but maybe only

Please check your modem model against the list at:

The SupraMax modems are winmodems.  However, the SupraExpress 56i is a
conventional modem with jumpers.  The SupraExpress 56i Pro is a winmodem,
and the SupraExpress 56e Pro is a conventional external modem.  Is that

AFAIK, there is no SupraMax 56i, so please check the list :)

You can get the Kernel at the typical places like ftp.kernel.org or any of

To start the elaboration: I followed mostly the Banshee Vesa mini-howto at

The only deviation is, that i had to add a "Depth 24" line in the display

You might see if your local computer shop has a second-hand SB16 ISA
non-Plug-n-play.  This is the definitive sound card for most systems,
and just _works_.  Plus, at www.creaf.com, they have a nice archive with
pictures and pinouts of every card Creative has ever shipped, so setting
jumpers etc is no problem, even if the card comes with nothing.

Give some more details.  What is the tertiary IDE?  A Zip drive?  Another hard
drive?  Where do you put LILO? On the MBR or the first cylinder of the
partition?

LILO cannot see past the 1024th cylinder, so for a partition on a big drive, you
must make sure to put LILO on the MBR, or have the Linux partition being before
the 1024th cylinder.

If it's removable, like Jaz or Zip drive, then you probably have to specify some
options upon boot. I've never used these, but there are Howto's for them.

The aha152x SCSI driver should work, although you may need to use
isapnptools to set up the card, and you may need to experiment with
different interrupt settings.

You'll need SANE v1.0 (http://www.mostang.com/sane/), and the
appropriate patch from http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~charter/snapscan.html 
to take the Snapscan backend to v0.6.

 Linux does not support USB.  USB support is still in development.
 True you can load an imac was Linux, but any USB devices will not be
 detected and will be unusable.

The iMac keyboard and mouse are on USB.  I *really* wouldn't say
that Linux runs on an iMac w/o USB support.

That said, I work with USB developers (including chip designers,
and in fact I are one) and USB is _not_ a trivial undertaking.
The HW is even worse than the SW (the state machinery is a
nightmare) but the SW is no prize.  Anyone who really wants
USB support should consider joining the project.
