I don't load the IDE driver as a module, it is compiled into the kernel.
I'll try to insert the hdparm -d0 /dev/hdc command in the
/sbin/init.d/boot.local file.
Next time I compile the kernel, I'm gonna turn off "use DMA by default"
and just enable it manually using hdparm in the init scripts for the
drives where it's useful. It doesn't seem to do much anyway, since it
shows "hda:DMA" and "hdb:DMA" in the bootup messages but then hdparm says
they're not using DMA. (See my other posting in this group entitled
"hdparm UltraDMA")

Hello,
For 24 hours, I compiled the full KDE 2.1 source code at the bottom.
Cause I'm using KDE 1.x right now, and wanted to see what's the KDE 2.1.
To compile it, I downloaded Qt-2.2.4 source code and build it. - 74M
openssl-0.9.6 - 18M
KDE 2.1 source - 1.2G
during compile, kssl part in kdelib directory had error so, I spent about
two hours for patching the kssl source code. Fortunately, the guy who made this
source did very simple mistakes: A little type mismatch from
openssl library and undefined functions and constants.
The building process is as follow.
Linux box: Celeron 450 x2
Ram 64M
Qt-2.2.4
Openssl-0.9.6
building kde 2.1 system
kdesupport
kdelib
kdebase
(and other optional stuffs)
kdeadmin
kdebindings
kdenetwork
kdepim
kdeuitls
I got exhasuted cause in 3:00 a.m today I just finished KDE 2.1 compilation and
set the environment variable. Then, startx
KDE 2.1 showed it's face to me. Well, no impression.
It was looking nice compared with KDE 1.x.but, just another clone
of GUI for Linux system. Konquror showed very nasty rendering image
to me. Maybe I have small RAM memory?
I would say "The KDE teams have done a good job!"
but, won't say "The KDE teams are great!"
What I felt was the duplication of Microsoft Windows 9x.
The source code was huge! 1.2GB. It should be some million
lines of code except the manual and documents.
24 hours hard work and just one hour of demo,
then it had to rest for some days. Cause kde 1.x and
unstable netscape gave me comfortable.
I felt the end of 2D based GUI system personally.
It seems not effective compared with text mode enviroment
when the job becomes more and more complex. For example,
can Visual C++'s ID compile

Well, how did you install alsa? By some pre-compiled binaries? Or you
just compiled it by yourself? If so, did you enable oss emulation when
configuring? And, did you run 'snddevices' to create necessary devices
in /dev directory? The last two steps are important to get KDE to
make sound.
Good luck.

Is there any reason why once alsa is installed nothing can find the

Everythin complains of not being able to open the audio device and I
have no clue why. It is making me mad. I did everything right and that
is proven by the aplay util playing wav files just fine but KDE refuses
to notice that I did anything with ALSA. What the hell am I supposed to
do to get KDE to use the mixers ALSA installed? At this time kmpg
only wants to use kmix and even with that it complains that it cant open
it and to chmod a+rw /dev/mixer* but I did that and I got the same damn

When installing RH6.1, we installed the LILO (LInux LOader, or something). According
to my RH
manual, page 444, I should use the de4x5.o module. However, I will also try tulip, as
you
suggested. I also added another ethernet card just to see if that would help. It
didnt. I added a
3Com EtherLink III (Module 3c507). Same old error. I also have specified the io
address and the
irq. Still same error (eth0: Delaying Initialization). I will try a boot disk. Any
ideas on how to
create the boot disk? any help would, of course, be appreaciated. thanks!

Here is how my problem with the same card solved. I also get the sendmail pause
thing (still).
First, my question is do you use loadlin to load linux or lilo? I used to use
loadlin and it
did not work. My guess is that windows plays with the PCI bios or something so that
the driver
(tulip.o) could not detect the card correctly. There is a program tulip-diag.c that
is
supposed to diagnose the problem. When I ran it, it was saying that PCI bios does
not show
correct IRQ or something. You can also try it. When I used a boot disk, the driver
worked
correctly!!! Also, you need the latest version of tulip.c to detect LinkSys card and
compile
it. After loading the module, check the messages with dmesg and see if the driver is
loading
properly with the correct IRQ and everything. Good luck. Then I guess ifup should
work.

Matt o "To either help" is a split infinitive, which is also
Matt grammatically incorrect.
John Actually, this is bullshit, as any linguist will tell you. The
John idea that one may not "split infinitives" is a remnant from a
John time when Latin was considered to be a relevant language.
For anyone still paying attention, John is making reference to the
origin of the debated "no split infinitive" rule in English. Although
a Germanic language, English grammar has been heavily influenced by
Latin. In Latin, split infinitives are not possible, as the
infinitive form of a verb is an inflected version of the verb.
(I suspect that the impossibility of splitting infinitives is true in
most languages; I know that this true for Russian. In cases I can
conjure, this is also true for German. However, my knowledge of
German isn't strong enough to proclaim this generally true; perhaps
someone who knows the language better than I would care to enlighten
us.)
I am grateful to Ashok Aiyar for privately writing to quote "the new
Oxford Dictionary of English", wherein it concludes "In the modern
context, some traditionalists may continue to hold up the split
infinitive as an error in English. However, in standard English the
principle of allowing split infinitives is broadly accepted as both
normal and useful."
Whilst I acknowledge that there are educated native speakers who will
disagree with my insistence upon split infinitive avoidance, the fact
of the matter is that "to help" is a single verb. "To either help" is
no more correct than "abso-frickin'-lutely".

Yes, if "optimal" is defined that way. He may have meant Path MTU which

I would assume that if he meant Path MTU that he would have

would be appropriate if he is writing networked applications.

Hi, all,

I write an easy EC program(nothing about sql) and

but if i run it on web browser, it don't work(never have output).
But if I rename it to "tt.c" , and compile it to an execution file.
It can run well on both linux command and the web browser.
I don't know why? It is the same C program and nothing about SQL,
just compiled by different C compiler. Why one can execute on web browser,
and the other can't?
Anyone knows? Does any parameter I need to set on linux for web?
Thanks...

Linux.
Just check on the thread I started, called FreeBSD/Linux project from
about 2 weeks ago. You could probably actually found a new OS, whose
kernel, source code, etc. are derived from both FreeBSD and Linux.

Hello,
why put them together? If they are different, it is ok. The market
is enriched by many systems, not a 'monolithic' one. Like many
ideas avoid having a braindead in a system, different unix systems
can help each other and go further in development. If the development
would be put together the result is often a slower and slower growing
product, or a product that can everything like a car that can fly, swim,
drive and more, but is neither a car, boat, rocket or airplane.
I like FreeBSD and prefer it, but I have respect on Linux.
Greetings, Norbert

As in a port by Forte? Be still my beating heart. I don't think so. The
