not surprising: bonnie doesn't do anything especially sensible
for those tests. the random thing is amusing, but not terribly serious.
the per-char tests are a joke, since noone does any half-serious IO
using them. and, as your results indicate, they measure mostly libc,
not the disk.

Hi there,
No it did not. I have been just waiting to see if any more replys come in. I have
go my system going with a DE450 10Mhz card. But due to my sites UTP wiring
standards I have had to create a butched cable wall cable. Its a long story, anyhow
I would real like to get the on board controller to work. This way I will have a
much better chance of converting the other users system here, off NT and Over to
linux.
I was planning to send a mail message to [Donald Becker] and/or other on the tulip
development site to see if I can get some assistance, and what I need to feed back
to them.
Do you mind if I ask what your interest is in this, can you suggest other coursers
of action?
Cheers,
Stephen Ashley.

Well, that seems to be one of the 'problems' w/ most distributions. Used to be that
if you wanted to use RedHat, you were more or less on your own, since the RH manual is
not nearly as detailed as the SuSE manual, and all the documentation was on Slackware.
Now, w/ RH being the one in the limelight, a lot of software is being written on a RH
platform, and subsequently the documentation seems to be RH oriented. FWIW, the
documentation you need may be available on your system, if you installed a lot of the
doc package. The full text ht://dig system may need a little tweaking to set up, but
it's worth it. I do wish there was a little more info on the capabilities of YaST;
I've learned several things on it by accident/trial & error.

have a clean source rerun your configuration, and turn off all hardware

If MOTIF is so prevalent on Unix, then why do all X applications look

I'm not asking X to be an operating system. Rendering is rendering. If you
are going to have an application capable of drawing to the display, then why
not be able to use that same drawing code for clipboard support and printer
support? Windows 3.1 isn't an operating system either and it does this.

No, you start out with a generic graphics surface, and layer a windowing
system on top of that. That way, you don't need tools to deal with
printers, and you get nifty things like wysiwyg for nearly free.

Hey! I did not say that MS windows is easy to use, au contraire! I just
don't buy that Linux is ready for Joe Average at home. I don't think
that of MS-Windows either. How many times did I explain to my parents
that the Blue-Screen-of-Death was *not* their fault and that they had to
get used to that.
For us, computer people, most things a computer does is logical, some
way or the other. For most people it is not. As computers have
integrated so higly in the society that everybody, even people with
little or no education, has to use them they should be very-easy-to-use.
This very-easy-to-use might actually mean to shield the user from
certain low-level things. The more knowledgable computer user feels
restricted by this and will look for an OS that gives more freedom in
that respect.
So you will have different computer systems targeted at different
people, for different purposes.
Again, I *don't* like MS-Windows, I *don't* like MS in general. I *do*
like the open-source of Linux and I *do* think Linux is more stable than
MS-Windows, but I *don't* think Linux is ready to replace Windows.
Thats why I advocate Java, or at least the WORM idea. Let people choose
their own OS, not the OS with the most apps.
Maurice.
P.S. I object to the elitist idea that if you are not smart enough to
understand a computer that you 'have no right' to use one. Not that you
said that.

All,
Hello. I've got RH 5.2 on a Fujitsu 420D notebook, and am
trying to get the Linksys 10/100 PCMCIA Ethernet card to work.
The cardmgr identifies the card just fine, assigns it an unused
interrupt (10), and the eth0 interface starts. Problem is, I can't
get anywhere on the NW. Ping anything, and I get 'network unreachable'.
I believe my routing tables are fine (they're equivalent to my
desktop, on the same NW). Would anyone care to cat out their
/etc/pcmcia/config so I can see what yours looks like? Should I
be using the Tulip driver for this beast? I've tried, and get
'device or resource busy' trying to load the module. Any ideas.
As usual, thanks for the help.

similiar error also came while tried other commands.
I am in a very confused state. I am having 413MB partition for linux. 34MB
is left for swapping. This leaves me with 376MB disk space. I have loaded
upto 335MB of packages. CPU is Cyrix Instaed 6x80 and use Intel
motherboard (unable to recall the model).
Thanks in advance for sending me the solution.
Prasanna.

Subject: can't boot up a udb
Date: 19 Mar 1999 07:57:17 GMT
i've got a udb from cpu micro mart, and i am trying to install debian. i
can get to the milo prompt just fine. but when i say:
MILO> boot fd0:linux root=/dev/fd0 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=1
it reads the "rescue" floppy, and gives one odd error, but keeps going
until it asks for the root floppy. i put that in, then i get that odd
error over and over and over. it says something like "reason: error in
ECC, retryable" or something like that. it goes by too fast to get a
good look at, and it never ends (i let it go for like 10 minutes). i
tried the most recent boot disk, and the previous one, all to no avail.
any ideas?

Have simply a look at /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. This file is nearly
self explaining and contains all important data to set up your
ethernet device, like your own IP-Number, the default gateway, your
Netmask, nameservers and so on.

Try xosview, it shows load on both processors. Note, you have to have the
latest release.
