Re: Metro-X or Xfree86?
Thanks, I'll make sure I upgrade to the latest Xfree86 before configuring it. Right now it sets it to the SVGA driver which is not accelerated. My guess is the version I have on my cd is at 1 or to revs behind. Metro-X is 2. *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 6/16/98, at 4:25 PM, William T Wilson wrote: On Tue, 16 Jun 1998, Scott wrote: difference between the two? Are thier reasons to use on over the other?

Re: What's so great about Linux?
Comments are in line! Redhat tells me no where how its kernal installs default. It only gives me 2 options in its chapter "next steps after install".. To do a modular or monolithic compile. My netowrk card (Linksys 10/100 using the PNIC chip) is not supported by Redhat's driver. It requires version .83 or above to work. I had to find it on the net, download it, modify the C code to enable full duplex support and then install it. The following link does not list Linksys 10/100 (PNIC or otherwise) in the Manhattan compatibility list and it also clearly states the following: "Not listed = not supported"! http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/intel/rh51-hardware-intel-11.html#ss11.4 This link does not list Linksys 10/100 (PNIC or otherwise) in the Hurricane compatibility list and it also clearly states the following: "Not listed = not supported"! http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/intel/rh50-hardware-intel-11.html#ss11.1 This link does not list Linksys 10/100 (PNIC or otherwise) in the Biltmore compatibility list and it also clearly states the following: "Not listed = not supported"! http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl/intel/rh42-hardware-intel-11.html The HCL for NT 3.51 at Microsoft's site lists the Linksys ISA card but not the 10/100 PCI (PNIC or otherwise). The HCL for NT 4.0 at Microsoft's site lists the Linksys 10/100 PCI card but doesn't adress the chipset (PNIC or otherwise). I have one very simple question, Scott... Why would you attempt to use a hardware device which is clearly stated as incompatible? You wouldn't do it with NT and I know you wouldn't 'cause I know you know that OS and have seen a few BSOD's. So why is Linux somehow suspect because the driver isn't available in the official release? Since I know you've had that happen to you with client and server OS's of other flavors I'd say you're levying criticism where none is due! Congratulations are due you since you made it work in spite of the missing driver! I suspect you'd have done the same with NT or 95, the only difference being that you probably wouldn't have had to compile the thing for M$ products. This, by the way is truly a feature when it comes to using the most powerful and customizable OS in the world *NIX or LINUX. You are not limited! You do not have to "take what the geniuses at the software house give you". If you don't have it out of the box somebody somewhere has produced it 'cause there's about a zillion folks out there writing stuff for Linux! Your situation and solution is an excellent example of this very thing. This is bad? I have had a business relationship for a while now with a manufacturer of high end servers who's based in Maryland. You should hear what he has to say about the timeliness that certain hardware manufacturers have with the provision of driver spec's for their products. Many vendors write their own drivers and the ones that don't, eventually, provide their spec's to the OS developers so their product can be supported. Since Linux driver development, likely as not, is happening in a private domicile in Spain, Brazil, Israel, or the U.S. what do you suppose the likelihood is that this vendor is gonna provide that spec to the guy or gal punching out the code in that domicile? Believe it or not it happens, but when it doesn't these folks dissassemble and port an existing driver or write one from scratch! This is bad? The installations instructions for a modular kernel install consisted of executing 5 commands and for a monolithic it was recompile the kernel. Redhat's instructions on the monolithic compile are giberish so I'm avoiding that. I chose to do a monolithic kernel to support simple upgardes. I gather from your responce that Redhat has already done this to a point thus poor documentaton lead me to re-compile my kernal. No biggy since it worked,,just wasted 2 hours of my time. RedHat's kernel compilation instructions aren't gibberish! They work, first time, every time, if you do exactly what they say. Your situation as a neophite is a perfect case in point. I think the issue here is that you're missing the real reason someone might want to compile it in the first place. Rich K. could probably say this better since he's far more experienced with *NIX than I but the long and short of it is that it's a technique for optimization of memory usage which directly effects the speed of the OS in operation by eliminating superfluous items and adding required/desired items. The smaller the kernel, the smaller the memory footprint in RAM. The more unnecessary stuff you get rid of the faster the thing's gonna run 'cause it's doing less work per clock cycle. It's largely a function of intended use! I use a modular kernel on one of my machines 'cause it's my primary workstation (the box that I'm typing on in fact) and I might decide to make a change to it and the modularity gives me that capability without requiring a recompile.

Someone was having a tough time getting their sound card configured. Here's how I did it: o I read/scanned the Sound-HOWTO first (I have a SB16 non-PnP (as far as I know) sound card) o If you're using Win95, make a note of your sound card's IRQ, DMA channels via Control Panel - System (or some such) o Re-compile kernel without *any* modules (include sound card config options, of course). Why? Seems cleaner to me is all, and less hassle/worry for a newbie like myself. o Don't use sndconfig, as you configured your sound card in the kernel already. o Fire-up gtcd/tcd or xmcd or workbone as root to test. Of course, logged in as joe user is somewhat of a problem. I gather some audio device files have permissions diametrically opposed to joe user playing a music cd.

Re: What's so great about Linux?
On Tue, Jun 16, 1998 at 09:43:27PM -0500, Dave Ihnat wrote: MS is trying to simplify the world too much; most Linux advocates (as, to be fair, most Unix advocates I've known for the last quarter-century) try to trivialize the difficulties of configuring and maintaining a complex OS. I (largely) agree. Albert Einstein wrote that "Everything should be as simple as possible, but no simpler." He was talking about cognitive models of complex physical processes and the pitfall that we all sometimes fall into of oversimplfying the model (in order to aid our understanding) so much so that the model no longer corresponds with reality. But his comment also applies to OS design and implementation. I'm not in favor of gratuitous complexity, and am as tough a critic of it as anyone when I bump into it. However, I recognize that there is a certain amount of necessary complexity involved in most engineering projects. If you try to design and build a modular, portable, scalable, modifiable, reliable, high-performance OS, you will probably find it a continuous struggle to keep it simple. This is, by the way, one of the primary reasons I use 'nix: I need those positive attributes and find that the accompanying complexity is within what I consider to be reasonable bounds -- given what I get for it. It's also one of the primary reasons that I ridicule NT: it has an equivalent or higher level of complexity, but with only trace amounts of the positive attributes that make dealing with the complexity worthwhile. This is also why I tell people that 'nix is not for everyone. There are a *lot* of people who live in some combination of a mail client, web client, word processor, spreadsheet, graphics manipulator, etc., and whose entire use of the machine is simply to run applications. They don't provide services; they don't run multi-user; they just want to work on specific tasks. I tell those people to get a Mac: they can install and configure the software themselves; they can handle their own sysadmin tasks; and they'll find it much harder to shoot themselves in the foot than with other platforms. I suspect that in 1-2 years I'll be able to point them to a Linux distribution which approaches this ease-of-use and for which the appropriate applications are available. *And* which still retains all the features of Linux that make it a technically superior operating system. ---Rsk Rich Kulawiec [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

Re: Q: news servers
I use Dnews, which is commercial software. (www.netwinsite.com) The only reason for doing this is that our internet provider doesn't give us a news feed, and I have to suck the feed from Supernews (www.supernews.com). 'suck' proved less than useful for an operation of this size (a few hundred users, large spool); dnews was a very good (not to mention powerful flexible) combination of suck + innd that has worked reliably since its installation. Setting it up isn't terribly hard, regardless of how you do it. The software is well-documented and man pages are available, as well as a web-based manual. As a side note, I set up a Linux machine here for much the same reasons you're setting this one up, and it's worked out well. We're now up to three Linux boxes in operation, each performing tasks from firewall logging/monitoring to being a ppp server.

Grab the SRPM, apply all the patches, and such, then edit the pine/osdep/os-lnx.h file. Look for the ALLOW_CHANGING_FROM line and set that. There might be some other things in there you want to change, that's up to you. Save the file, and follow the instructions for building (cd into the pine3.96 directory, run ./build lnx, if I remember correctly).

Re: monitors: plug 'n play okay?
There is no such thing as a Plug 'N Play Monitor. It's just the computer manufacturers that are feeding on peoples lack of knowledge to suck them into buying their monitor. They think (and with good cause) that people will buy it because Plug 'N Play is supposed to be such a 'great' thing. I (and most people I know), HATE Plug 'N Play "Everything" (except for monitors =) It can cause such headaches (hence the term "Plug 'N Pray").The industry really should have made "ALL" PnP devices able to be NON-PnP buy way of LEAVING the jumpers on the I/O cards. Sheesh, this is like the automobile industry coming out with a system that no longer requires a steering wheel in cars (which would be somewhat cool). BUT then taking the steering wheel out of the cars..I mean come on, give us the choice! ALL monitors are "Plug 'N Play"! (So to speak) Always have been, 'always' will be! IMHO. It either works, or it's broken! (or your using the wrong monitor for your video card. eg. EGA verses VGA). Don't feel stupid, your obviously new to this stuff...you'll learn.

This is a response to the lovely language in the response to the question below...I'd have to say thats pretty unappropriate...and the files he removed are really inconsequential(at least in my point of view). As an answer to Wayne's question, don't go by the percentage necessarily, because linux does leave some extra space that is not covered by the percentage...for example 1024-Blocks Used Available 1484355682000 725647 If you check, 682000 plus 725647 equals 1407647...so unless i'm missing something here, you do have extra space... My system informed me that I had no space left in the root filesystem. So, I removed a bunch of files totaling about 20meg. When I did a "df" the filesystem still shows no space available. Where is the space I freed-up? Wayne Excuse me, but how the Hell are any of us supposed to know what files you removed and from where? We have no idea what you did, how you did it and where you did it.

Figuring out free IRQs.
Hi, This may sound stupid, but I have no idea on how to do this. I just bought additional parallel card ( ISA, not p-n-p ), and I have to set jumpers for IRQ. I cat'ed /proc/devices, to see if the first number represent IRQ, however, I saw something like 36, so I decided it was not what I wanted. Also, I checked with /proc/interrupts, but I did not see lp, as I did in /proc/devices, so I figured that some stuff might be missing. Anyway, how can I find out which IRQs are already taken, and which ones I can use.

Several problems...RH 5.0 kernel 2.0.31
I have posted to several linux newsgroups in search of an answer to these questions, but so far, no answer so here I go again. I am having difficulty setting up my window manager, fvwm2, and getting both my PPA Zip drive and the connected Epson Color Stylus 600 working. When I installed RH 5.0, I did install printer support AND I selected "Yes" to the question regarding SCSI support...I selected PPA Zip drive. Now, I can neither access my zip drive nor print. The printer and Zip drive are connected to lpt1. With printtool, I have set up my printer as /dev/lp0 and named it lp. It doesn't work. If I try to run Tests and print ascii either to the port or to the spooler, I get an error message telling there is no such device or port. If I try to Add a new printer and this time make it /dev/lp1, I get a dialog window indicating no devices detected on lp0, lp1, nor lp2. As for the Zip, how does this work, period? Does it automount, being "SCSI" or do I have to mount it? If I have to mount it, where does it reside? What directory? I did get one suggestion that I recompile a kernel with support for all this built in...but I thought that was essentially what I did during the initial install when I selected yes to scsi and then selected PPA Zip AND when I selected "install printer support". Now for the window manager. As root I have no problems. I can login and startx and get fvwm2 with the fvwm95 style. When I first started X that was the default it went to. When I added myself a user account, logged in and then ran startx, same thing. The correct (desired) fvwm2 started with fvwm95 style running. I then added a user account for my wife and was showing her how to logon and then how to start X...but instead of getting a wm when she typed "startx", she got the initial grey-background screen with the X cursor in the center - and nothing else. It didn't go any further. Clicking any mouse button did nothing EXCEPT that the left mouse button gave me a very brief menu with one item in it: Exit fvwm. I then tried to fix this by looking for .fvwm2rc somewhere. It didn't and doesn't exist anywhere on my system. There IS a system.fvwm2rc and it has a "linked" icon on it when viewed with xfm, so I am assuming that .fvwm2rc is linked to system.fvwm2rc. If so, why doesn't my wife get a window manager when running startx? To top that off, while messing around with various files like system.fvwm2rc and .xinitrc, I managed to eliminate my own user account window manager. At this time ONLY root can start a functional fvwm2 and only root gets fvwm95 style...yet I can't find any fvwm2-specific files anywhere within the /root directory. I have no idea why root can start and use the window manager but no other user can. I am a newbie here so please be gentle and PLEASE tell me what I need to do to correct the problems mentioned above. How do I fix the problem with my printer and zip drive (and why isn't linux seeing my printer...is it because of the zip drive? Just where is my zip drive in the directory structure? Do I have to actively mount it? How do I set up my GLOBAL default window manager to be fvwm2 using the fvwm95 style? Anytime I add a new user, I want them to be able to startx and get the same default window manager and the same look and feel as everyone else. Of course, i assume that any info provided on how to do this would also indicate the means by which I would make GNOME or KDE my universal, global default window manager. Thank you in advance for any guidance and aid, -If I can avoid it, I really would like to avoid having to do a kernel compile/recompile at this time. It doesn't seem that it should be necessary given the RH installation process and its relative simplicity - and I DID select all the correct things required for running a PPA zip and Epson printer on lpt1. patrick -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

Making a RedHat CD-R
Hello! Yesterday, I downloaded RedHat 5.1 from Sunsite. I want to make a CD-R with the RedHat distribution. The problem is, I only have Windoze 95 (gag!) and a Smart and Friendly CD-RW 226, and I have two software programs, CdQuadrat WinOnCD 3.5 and Adaptec EZ CD Creator 3.01b. I used WinOnCD 3.5 to make an ISO-9660 CD-R with 128 character filenames.

re: configuring accentuation
Try LaTex (use the tetex rpm). There is a package called Babel that deals with a variety of languages. LaTex itself can produce a large variety of accents.

Re: beginner's question re RH 5.0 install
Maureen Beck wrote: Can anyone advise me on how to install RH 5.0 from a CD-rom ? I get as far as the menu that asks what kind of CD-rom driver -- my CD -rom drive is a USDRIVEs 24DT . It is an atapi compliant drive attached to a Soundblaster card. My problem is: when I get to the menu, I am offered a The SoundBlaster "IDE" port used to be not 100% IDE compatible, at least on my old Discovery 2x kit. Don't know about the new ones. I used at the time the sbpcd driver (actually I still do, as the second CD drive) My new IDE cdrom is connected to the IDE controller, had no problems with it. It has no impact on the soundcard, if this worries you. If your CD is really IDE (quite probable) and you still have a free IDE connector, try connecting it there. A newer motherboard should auto-detect it. And you can keep the small audio cable between the CD and the soundcard, for playing audio CDs :) Or, Usually newer motherboards have 2 IDE controllers (each supporting 2 devices) so you probably need to instruct linux to use the third controller, on the sound card, if you really need to keep the CD connected to the soundcard. Not sure how to do it and if the shipped kernel has support for the third IDE (at least it doesn't probe it by default). dan -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
lpd 0.31 broken
lpd is broken (i386 version at least). redhat 5.1 - lpr 0.21.2 - updated to lpr 0.31.1 redhat 5.1 - lpr 0.31.4 Between 0.17 and 0.21 something got broken. The daemon acts as if every printcap entry had :rs=true:, thus only honoring remote print requests from valid users. Intentional (security paranoia) or accidental, I don't know, but it looks like a bug to me. I witnessed these problems on a default 5.1 installation, no updates.

Re: boot disk
On Tue, 16 Jun 1998, Kevin Seguin wrote: is it possible to create a disk to boot from during installation of rh5.0? i have NT on my machine now, and i want to install red hat so i It seems pretty convoluted, and I would think that somewhere in there there's something redundant, but I don't know where exactly since I only run Linux here. At any rate, any time you want to make a boot disk in Linux, you can do so by first copying the linux kernel over to a floppy, and then setting the root device on the floppy. The root device is the partition that you boot linux from; example /dev/hda1. As root, do: # dd if=/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 # rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda1 Then you should be able to boot the floppy and go straight into Linux. If you want to run NT, then don't boot off of the floppy. At least that's how I'd go about it, and it seems a simpler approach. Kevin Seguin --- Hoover's Inc. 1033 La Posada Drive Suite 250 Austin, TX 78752 phone: 512.374.4556 fax: 512.374.4501 -- David E.

Re: HTML-formatted mail
Greg Fall writes: snipand maybe he doesn't even realize that he is using HTML. end of snip Since I accidentally started this thread, I've kept silent, waiting for a response of this type. Now it has popped up, here is my reply. The snip above digs deep into the golden thread of why this list exists. People that post to this list are usually asking a question, and want an answer. If the person is a newbie, perhaps just starting Linux for the first time after some time with Microsoft then they have been mostly insulated from the (lets face it) rather complex world of mail technology. If the (unpublished) convention of *this* list is to use flat-ascii, then that is one convention. Other lists may not be the same. Someone who does not send a message in the convention of this list is not necessarily being divisive, they just don't know. And will never know unless someone mentions it. Deleting a question from a newbie will possibly result in a non-reply to a posting. If the problem never gets fixed it will prejudice that person against using Linux. Worse than that, a reply back to a newbie with a grossly innapropriate word like 'crap' will have greater negative impact. I would gently suggest that if there is any interest at all in promoting Linux, then messages from newbies should have some priority. My penultimate comment is to those that are concerned about wading thru large quantities of mail and have no time to deal with 'difficult' messages, I would gently suggest that you improve your mail filters. I get about 800 messages a day and have no trouble weeding. Lastly my comments on html vs flat ascii. Despite the resistance of this list, markup text will become the predominant email of choice across the globe. People want illustrated text. For the person that pointed to history as defense of plain text, can I point out that bibles used illustrated lettering back in those olden days. Even my 1890's copy of Venn's Symbolic Logic has some illustrated text. IMHO I'm off now to go back to my valve computer and 5-bit teletype.

Re: 3c590 and PCI-SCSI card confict IRQ conflict
Hi Michael, I havn't used a 3c590 before, but the following usually works for other 3coms. The technique includes running the configuration program for the card. If there isn;t a configuration program, just miss out the config steps. 1. Reset the motherboard to factory defaults. 2. Take the scsi card out. 3. Boot from a msdos floppy and run 3C5X9CFG (on the distribution floppy) or its equivalent for the 590(3c9x5?). 4. Set the IRQ using the automatic configuration. 5. Shutdown 6. Put the scsi card in. 7. Boot from a msdos floppy. Check the irqs 8. Adjust (fiddle) with the factory defaults to your liking. This usually works. If you can't find a copy of the config program it ought to be on the 3com website. www.3com.com is the url I think. If you can;t get to the website, ask me and I'll send you a copy. Let me know how you get on. Kind regards, Tony Wells Phenomenal Books "I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter" - Blaise Pascal.

Re: Reinstall problem
Darque wrote: I am needing to reinstall RH5.0, but would like to retain the /home and /usr/local directories. I created each as seperate partions as recomended in my initial install, but didn't write details anywhere. Good that you did that. "df -a" should give an idea about who's who. Write it down. :) When I start to reinstall and it asks for all the partition info, I'm not sure how to determine what to put to retain those partions in tact. Is there any way for me to determine this? Last thing before installing, I would suggest to rename a few standard directories in /usr/local (and in home), if they're not empty, in order to not have them overwritten during instalation: bin, lib, etc, sbin, src, man(?), games(?). Do not re-partition the drives. (choose directly done in the partitioning screen). When you're asked what partitions should be mounted where, just choose what you wrote down earlier. When you're asked what partitions should be formatted (reccomending to also format /usr/local), pay attention not to format the ones you want to keep :) After install, compare the renamed directories with the newly created ones and do the necessary merges, then you can carefully delete the old ones.

login problems
OK Just moved from 4.0 to 5.1 and I've hit some quick snags. After adding a couple aliases to my /etc/profile (alias ls= ls -color, etc.) I can only log in as root. No other account works, not my personal or my ppp account. I don't understand it. I've tried "passwd eric" and all "tokens are updated successfully" but login under that username still fails. I've even deleted it and reinstated it. What gives? One other minor annoyance. When I do login as root, a message appears proclaiming that the system is going down on "Xtime" (the last time I issued a shutdown -h command as root). I've found the file, /etc/nologin, and I can edit it manually, but I can't stop it from reappearing? Who is writing to this file, and how do I turn it off? Thanks in advance.
