Samsung printers support Linux out of the box
My old OKI printer finally died and I went looking for a new one and found a Samsung ML1750 c/w Linux drivers in the box. Brought it home and it was printing great in 5 minutes drivers installed no problem. I just felt it was important to mention because of Samsungs support of Linux. I know many printers run under Linux but at least these guys go the extra step, this is a really nice printer and I'm very pleased to be able to support a Linux friendly printer manufacturer. Now I just have to register it so they know my main reason for purchasing it!

What your saying is that move to ext3 is still leaving me open to corruption for no reason. That being the case it should be a no brainer to go to XFS. But is XFS ready for prime time?? or should I wait to make any big changes till kernel 2.6. I am not that adept at the mechanics of Linux yet, but love using it and wouldn't switch for anything. So am I better off waiting till say Red Hat 8.1 or whatever that will make these changes for me. Sorry about being long winded, I just don't want to get myself in a position where I destroy my system will ill timed changes I may not have the technical abilities to perform.

Weird boot problem??
My kids wanted to play some games so I shutdown, booted into windows and then when they were finished booted back to Red Hat 8. When it got to checking root it said it had errors and forced a check. I did shutdown properly so I don't know how any errors were present. Anyway it checked to 57.5 % then locked up, I tried it several times and had to power off to reboot each time. So I tried to boot from my rescue floppy that wouldn't boot!! then panic set in. I then booted into Caldera 3.1.1 and ran fsck from there on my Red Hat root partition, I know that was probably crazy but I didn't know what else to do. Anyway it got through with 2 error on pass 1 then finished and now I'm back happily in Red Hat. Any comments on what happened and how I could avoid this near catastrophe (if it was one) in the future. Your comments are quite welcome, I'm in the dark.

Well I think your right!! another fellow from a Red Hat Newsgroup has the same problem after he updated his kernel. His Mozilla will only play as "root" now to, mine will sometimes load slow as I said but has since refused to load at all.

So I tried again and sure enough if I wait a couple of minutes it WILL LOAD. Booted back to "root" and it loads immediately, back to user and it takes a couple of minutes. WEIRD I have no idea why flash would work well at root and ssslllooowww as a user, any thoughts??

Flash Player
Flash was working fine until I upgraded it tonight. (Why do I insist on fixing things that aren't broken?) Now it crashes everytime I go to www.stars-stripes.com (or any other flash site). So I deleted it, took the original files of my spare computer and it still crashes. I wiped out every remnant of flash on my system copied the old files into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and it still crashes. So I booted into "root" and voila it runs, back into a user acount and it crashes, log into a terminal and "su" and run mozilla it crashes. It's been 2 long hours now and a lot less hair any Ideas would be great. Red Hat 8, Mozilla 1.0.1 Thanks Mike F -- Michael Fakaro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

PCMCIA mount?
Red Hat 8 recognizes my ISA PCMCIA card reader and if I go to the PCMCIA panel in the Control Center it shows that the card is in and recognized. So how do I mount it?? In my last distro I added this line to fstab: "/dev/hde1 /mnt/pcmcia vfatro,defaults 0 0" which I have done, then I would mount it by: "mount /dev/hde1" after I hit enter the cursor goes to the next line with no error and just sits there.. I have to close the terminal to end it.
