On my SuSE 5.3 system theres a driver called hpdj or something like
that. With this filter which supports PCL3 and the 690C can do that,
everything works fine. Even when printing colors black is really black
and not a mixture of CMK.

You could probaby do most of the above on a low end pentium. However if
plan on continually playing mp3s, you could run into a problem on a low
end, and might want to go for a 200mhz. IP Masq isn't really CPU intensive
so that isn't a problem. However if you plan to push your web and sql
server to the limit, while playing mp3s, you'll need to go for a high end
pentium (200mhz or greater). Of course, if these servers are only going to
be used occasionally, then a 133mhz is fine. Check onsale.

Ok, so I overestimated M$ quality a bit too much. I prefered to
underestimate the quality of the development code (I also forgot when
the code freze went into place). It still means the same thing:
Yor own workstation/test system run 2.1.xx if you don't mind that much
If you need some part of 2.1.xx, by all means run it
If you are running a server, don't use 2.1.xx unless you *NEED* to.

Is there a Linux printer driver for the new HP LaserJet 1100es printers.
I believe this new series replaces the HP LaserJet 6 line. Anyone know if
the two are compatible, so that the current HP LaserJet 4/5/6 drives can
be used with the 1100es?
Just thought I ought to find this out before shelling out the $$ for a new
printer.

Subject: Linux booting problems with Triton chipset
Date: 28 Dec 1998 22:48:11 GMT
For some reason Linux will not boot on my new motherboard. It's a
P166MMX with an Intel Triton-TX (430TX) chipset. There's one non-UDMA
(PIO mode 4) hard drive attached. There are no peripherals attached
(except a well-supported S3 Trio64V+). The bootup freezes right after
the hard drive initialization but before the filesystem detection. It
recognizes the chipset and the attached drive. The hard drive is
detected at BM-DMA (busmastering I guess?). It's not timing out; I left
it sitting overnight. This is when I boot from the Red Hat installation
disk. When I try to boot an older custom kernel, the machine reboots
almost immediately (right after the BogoMIPS calibration).
I've seen Triton chipsets work with Linux before, and I haven't seen
anything about this chipset on hardware incompatibility lists.
Has anyone had this problem before? Any suggestions?
Please cc the response to my address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Thanks!

Does anybody know how to get a internal

to work in Linux ?
Win98 recognizes it on COM3 with irq 10 and io 03e8
UART: NS 16550AN, 155kbaud
Identifier: PCI\RSS8004
I tried to get the com port with setserial - but I still
can't contact the modem.
Minicom tries to dial but never reaches the modem.
I am sure that the modem is no winmodem (because of the Rockw. chip)
Does anybody have a description of the jumper settings ?
There are jumpers J1-J7 and the layout on ACEEX's webpage does not
agree with the actual layout on my card ...

Perhaps, you can educate us the meaning of "rebuild everything ...". Did you

As far as I know, you will not find the file "aha152x.o" from the Debian
distribution. It is always compiled into part of the kernel.
You might have SCSI termination problem on your chain. You may want to
verify whether your SCSI hardware is working under other OSes i.e. DOS

I have not yet worked with this card, but I know it is NOT an NE2000

XFree86 3.3.3 includes an SVGA server that supports the TNT chip.
Upgrade your XFree86 to the latest version.
Shouldn't have to upgrade the whole thing...
get the latest XF86_SVGA server from ftp.xfree86.org or a mirror, then
untar it to the proper place ( tar -C /bin/X11R6 -zxf XF86.tgz ).
Then when you run XF86Setup or xf86config, just select the XF86_SVGA
server.
Should work ( and beats dl'ing 60+ megs )

Therefore no audio-devices and so on.
Have you taken a look at the plug'n'play problem? Linux doesn't support
plug'n'play devices. It is possible to configure them with "isapnp" tools.
Search for them. You might allready have them installed, though.
I had a similar problem. My card worked with kernel 2.0.34, but I needed
2.0.36 for my SCSI. With this I couldn't get my soundcard detected. Tried
and tried for weeks (months?). At last i tried the commercial OSS-demo from
http://www.opensound.com. It solved my problem in 10 minutes. Ten more
minutes and I had also paid for it. ($30)

: I m looking to build my linux box very slow, but with the best hardware.
: It is going to be a work in progress from a PC the best Linux server I can
: afford.
