It looks like you cd to the mount directory but have not mounted
the drive successfully.
You have to mount the cd or floppy before you can use them. Look
at the mount command.
You can use something like mount /dev/fd0 /floppy or /dev/cdrom
/cdrom. Both directories
have to be made before hand for this to work. If all the
defaults are up then this should work otherwise you may have to
add -t for the file system. A floppy or cd has a filesystem on
it just like you hd has "file systems" on it which are mounted.
Look at /etc/fstab - it gets run every time you boot and thats
how the file systems become available on /.

You need to upgrade to Xfree86 version 3.3.3.1 for support of that
card/chipset. Even Red Hat is recommending everyone upgrade to that version,
due to some security bugs with using the older version.

I failed to install OS/2 version 2.1 on a very similar machine. IBM
technical support indicated that this was because my machine was "too
fast". So I installed Linux on it. I ran Linux happily on it for
four years. You'll be fine.
Linux will see all of your 850Mb hard disk. Make sure the root
filesystem isn't in the bit that isn't accessible to the BIOS,
otherwise LILO won't be able to use the BIOS to load the kernel at
boot time.

zorjd adds:
1) Charles Gretton's above suggestion (virus protect=off) is good.
2) See also post from John Burton suggesting expert mode and force load.
3) Also - Avoid 'probing' during X-setup dialogue;
just select some vanilla vga, it will be adequate until each
respective machine's components-list can be verified as 'supported'
particulary (here) the vga chipset.
-snip-
Your MIS folks have a point. Novell, MS, et al. pay good, expert
people, full-time, to keep up with the ever-changing landscape of
new chips & of course, necessary driver-writing; they are early-
to-market with support for new hardware, and are likely to remain so.
As for the Linux techies who, from around the world, on their own
time, write this and other needed code, I defer to Aesop, whose
Tortoise drawls: 'I may be slow, but I'm sure.'
Linux' supported-hardware-list is huge, and like Topsy, 'just growed.'

The "tulip" driver seems to be working pretty well so far.
Pick the Digital 2014 or something like that in install, the
Netgear 310TX is actually using a Digital chip. I have actually
had Win9x PNP recognize it this way sometimes. If you go to
www.baynetwork.com and poke around for drivers, you will find
that the new driver disk from them has a linux subdir with
instructions on where to put tulip.c and compile if you want
to add it to an existing installation.

single-threaded apps can only run on one cpu at a time. however,
nothing prevents you from launching and running two applications at

The Baud-Base is (on most mother- and daugther-boards) the value of the
externel crystal-oszillator (mostly 1.843200 MHz) divides by 16. That's
where those 115200 Baud maximum comes from...
You can change that with a soldering-iron (and a better crystal) only

Date: Thu, 4 Mar 1999 01:14:27 +0100
Hi,
I know, this problem is not new, but I would like to ask for some experience
with it, so I maybe don't have to install a new kernel on a Software
bootable RAID1......
I got a 3COM 3C905B-TX network adapter. It works only at 10M. Now this is
known to be a driver problem, but (stupid as I am) when I built my RAID
kernel I compiled the driver into the Kernel instead of having it as a
module. Now, to my knowledge, setting any options in modules.conf doesn't
help (options 3C59x options=12).
The correct solution (I think) would be to compile a new kernel. But I am a
little reluctant to do this as long as I am not sure whether this will help.
So please, encourage me... Would it help to test the option line by typing
this line at the boot prompt?
I am using SuSE 6.0/Kernel 2.0.36.
Thanks for help

I have some answers. I have a dual 333 using a tyan 1862 Motherboard with
128 megs of ram. I can tell you most everything is able to speed up under
the multiple proccessors. I had my kernel compieled for single proccessing
and everything seemed ok, but when I added in SMP even launching apps and
loading the kernel became much faster. I'm using a Redhat 5.2 distribution
with version 2.2.1 of the kernel. As for launching multiple images of the
same software, I'm pretty sure it is the same as on a single processor
where it will launch multiple images so information doesn't conflict with
eachother.

Heard of them. Don't know much about them. Here's their U.S. webpage:

If I were to guess, the ISA modems with jumpers should be okay, but stay
away from the PCI modems.
