I have a few used Wyse Wy-150 terminals that I'd like to sell. These
have all been tested as terminals to a RedHat 5.0 Linux server.

All screens are Amber and do NOT have burned in images. Some do have
black inventory numbers numbers on the casing.
These terminals w/ keyboards sell for ~$400 New and $200+ Used - See

Subject: Newbie help: Linux on a Compaq Proliant 1000
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 17:45:21 +0100
Hi,
Apparently it should be possible to run Linux using the on board SMART-2
SCSI array.
Great!
However, I am as newbie as newbies can get, so I have *no* (well, hardly
any) idea how I should go about making a new kernel and doing all the
magical stuff (at least that's the way it looks to me now) that appears
to be necessary in order to try out the new driver. Is there anybody out
there who can give me a virtual hand (or suggest a book that will really
help)?
Or maybe somebody has already compiled a kernel (that fits on a
bootdisk) that should work for me?
I would like to install Slackware 3.5.
This Proliant 1000 is a 486-66, 32MB RAM, two SCSI harddisk (3Gb total),
a quad-speed CD player and boasts an EISA bus. I don't necessarily need
to be careful about files, so if something goes wrong, it's no problem
(sounds like an ideal test machine, doesn't it?).
Thanks,
René Lion

Hello,
I have read the HOWTO, I have read the FAQs, I searched the net,
but could not find any solution to my problem.
I have a HP 500C and SuSE 5.3, kernel 2.3, apsfilter for print
ing. Everything is nice and easy, printing is OK, but the HP
seems to be resetted (it repositiones the printing head and moves
the loading device) every other 5 minutes or so - this is quite
annoying, esp. if the computer runs overnight. Where should I
look for appriopriate settings? What can be the reason?
TIA,

We are running slackware 2.0.36 on an Intel P2 400 system with a Buslogic

occaisionally on the big (18G) data drive.

I am having the same problem with my AHA-1505 too, RH5.2 can never see
it even if I diabled the pnp on the card. I would like to try your
method, but am a bit confused - do you mean changing the append format
to something like:
aha152x=0x334,11,7,1
or setting aha-1505's base I/O adddress to that, if so, how?
Appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks.

The kernel that comes with 5.0 should support Token-Ring. Go and
read the Token-Ring HOWTO. It's propably on your RedHat CD.

I think FAT32 was supported with kernel 2.0.34 and later. Do

Hi there.....
I am about to buy a 56k6 PCI modem which is very cheap, so I conclude it
must be a WinModem....It has a Rockwell Flex chipset. To me it is very
important that I can get it to work under Linux, cause I almost stopped
using Windows completely. Does anyone have experiences with modems with
this chipset and/or winmodems under Linux? I've heard they are very
often difficult or sometimes even can't be configured....Thanks for any

However, this driver is unable to find MII PHY when started under kernel

Lots of good examples, but it is not automatic. You have to uncomment

Just an update. I figured out this problem.
Turns out that all Western Digital Caviar drives
have similar jumper settings, master, slave, and
cable select. You only need to set these if there
are two drives on the cable. My drive is a single
drive, so I needed to set the jumper to a neutral
setting. According to WD online manuals, this is
pins 5 & 6 or the lower row, left two pins. It
looks odd, since the settings are normally
vertical. But it works now!
New problem.
LILO can't find my installation. On bootup, it
freezes at "LI..."
Now I know this problem has been seen before, but
I can't remember how to fix it. I've got Linux on
/dev/hda3 and the lilo.conf seems okay. I reran
lilo, with no luck. How do you fix this again?

I think the line-in input jack is what you want to use. If you want to
sample a continuous analog waveform up to 48kHz (most soundcards) that
is the easiest thing to do. www.opensound.com has the details forhte
programming specs and your data is available in 16bit signed linear.
You should refer to your sound cards' specs, but most cards have good
input impedance and have analog limits of +/- 300mV. Check it for
the real numbers.

Hi,
I'm having difficulty reading mode 2 (XA) cds under linux. I can read
them fine under Win95, but anytime I try to copy a file off an XA CD, I
get an I/O error.
I have two ATAPI cd-roms, one 36X reader, and one 4X writer. I've
enabled SCSI emulation in my kernel, and disabled the generic IDE-ATAPI
CD interface. Linux (Red Hat 5.2) recognizes both drives as SCSI devices
(scd0=writer & scd1=reader). I can read data from mode 1 (ISO9660) and
redbook (audio) discs just fine.
Any ideas?

You might look into/for something called Monkey Linux.
I don't know if it is still being supported, but it is
a mini-linux system that fits on 5 floppies, I think.
I don't have a clue when it comes to booting off of

Gary,
When installing Linux on laptops such as yours, I usually had to resort to
the following methods.
1. Make a disk set from good old fashioned floppies (groan). I still have
an entire 3.5" installation of Slakware 1.2.x here at the house, outdated as
that may seem.
2. Get a Zip drive, transfer all the essential directories to it (exclude
TeX and TCL, for example, if you don't use them) and do an Iomega install.
3. Get a PCMCIA ethernet card and do a network install.
Sorry I could provide the answers you were looking for.

Subject: HOW TO TRANSFER XENIX DISK TO LINUX?
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 1999 16:24:33 -0800
Hi there!
I have a terrible problem!
I have 8 customers I wish to switch to LINUX but...
I can't find a way to transfer data from a SCO XENIX disk
to a LINUX disk.
SCO XENIX is version 2.3.4 Linux RedHat 5.1
The 'mount' command (logged in as root):
# mount -t sysv /dev/hdc4 /xenix
I have tried the following solutions without luck:
- I have installed the XENIX drive as a slave: mount says:
Unable to read Xenix/SystemV/Coherent superblock.
- I have created, on a new drive, a Xenix partition and then
a Linux partition: mount says: same message.
If hardware does not work, then why not try the good old way: tapes.
- I have copied the data onto a Colorado Jumbo 250 tape drive
from the Xenix drive, transferred the tape drive AND its cable
onto the Linux machine: Linux cannot read the tape: 'tar' doesnot
recognize the tape as a 'tar archive' (which I'm sure it is).
Yes, when I 'tar' from Linux on the tape drive, it works.
- I have tried 'cpio': from floppy drive (Xenix) to floppy drive (Linux)
it works. But from the tape drive: no luck.
There is no way to connect computers through network since Xenix
is NOT a network version of Unix (I believe?!).
Does anyone know of a way to transfer data (~500+ Megs) from
a Xenix disk to a Linux disk? I mean ANY method.
If not, I'm dead meat 'cause I promised my customers there would be
