If you have a strong case, you could try approaching the many anti-M$

I have seen these boards having a lot of problems running at 100Mhz. If you
drop them down to 75 Mhz and set the multiplier differently, they don't
have any problems running a 400 at all. Use a 5.5 multiplier.

Try this site, it works, kinda.  You can read and copy from the Linux
partition to your NT partition, but write support is still experimental.  It
runs a little slow if there are alot of files (like in /dev) but i think
thats b/c i have to use a 16-bit DLL that comes with it.  As far as i know
you don't need this DLL if you have NT.

Are you using LILO?  It sounds like you're dual booting, so I'm assuming
you are.  Instead of hitting enter or typing linux at the lilo prompt,
try lilo mem=96.  That should tell linux how much memory you have.  I
can't remember if thats the exact command though, try man lilo for more
info.

Funny thing is there are many vendors offering preassembled Alpha farms.    Just
drop the rack in place supply power and off you go.    This is not the case with
Intel systems, at least I have not seen many advertised.     The market for
performance machines is at time very sensitive to pricing considerations, since
many"farms" are Alpha powered there must be a good reason.   The only reason one
could reasonable suggest is performance per dollar.     Granted there may be
application were an Intel system will accel but the market doesn't seem to
support that theory.

I would also suggest that if you start to wave enough money around, pricing
become less of a concern as vendors will become very flexible to make the sale.

I really can't concieve of any situation were the size of the box is going to
make an intel sysytem more competitve.    If that were so Intel would be seling
more of there super computers to the goverment.    This is especially true if you
are chosing competitve systems from both manufactures.    Not many intel chipsets
will allow 8MB of cache or large memory systems for that manner.

I forgot to mention that the above are settings made to your .config file in
/usr/src/linux (for recompiling the kernel).

After making the above changes, recompile the kernel. Install the kernel, and
make sounds !

By the way, I haven't yet got the effects processor or the RAM daughtercard, or
the
wavetable sounds to work yet.

Hi,

Has anyone connect a linux box to a workstation using an ISDN link ? I
want to get two machines talking to each other using PPP on an ISDN link.
Ethernet would be the best option I know, but I can't use it. I've had a
look at the HOWTO's and can't find anything that is of much use.

My main question is how do I setup the link ? How do I get one machine
to "dial" the other ? They will be connect directly to each other in a LAN
config.

Any pointers/info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Simon.

P.S If possible could you send me a copy of your post directly.

You have to bring up the link under AOL too, don't you?  I installed
diald on my mom's Linux machine to dial (and redial) on demand, and I
have Netscape pop up when she logs in, and now its easier than AOL by
god!  And she never notices dropped connections.  I haven't touched
the machine in eight months.

Good advice elsewhere from Cece.  Remember that in Windows each piece
of hardware came with a floppy disk or CD-ROM that described that
hardware to the operating system.  Linux does not have this luxery.

Not at all.   The test is, "can Rod Roark's mother use Linux?".
Nothing discriminatory about that.  After all, I'm sure he knows his

Don't feel like your alone. I get essentially the same thing.

Priority 00 : Starting    Id = default0

It doesn't help to start it in the .xinitrc. Still no go.

Most CDs you buy don't contain the latest kernel.  Go to ftp.kernel.org and

However, i have no /dev/eth0, or ethx at all.  Linux knows its there,
here is select output from less /proc/pci

  Bus  0, device   9, function  0:
    Ethernet controller: Intel 82596 (rev 3).
      Medium devsel.  Fast back-to-back capable.  IRQ 10.  Master
Capable.  Latency=64.  Min Gnt=32.Max Lat=64.
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xee101000 [0xee101000].
      I/O at 0xe800 [0xe801].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xee100000 [0xee100000].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xee000000 [0xee000000].

I know the chipset for it is supported, and i think everything is ok, i
just need to get the device to show up in the /dev directory.  I know i
could probably use mknod, but i don't know if its block or character, or
the major or minor revision numbers.  Any ideas?  Please email me at

Thanks for any help.
