George,
The model was a MIP with 50 binary, 37725 linear variables with 26310 linear
constraints. You may be right in that smaller models may run better on the
Celeron but nobody solves smaller models anyway.

I have 3 hard drives, SCSI is divided into 3 partitions, / (root partition)
/home and swap. I want to add 2 more hard drives, what directories should I
move over to the new hard drives. I know /usr would be one, since that's
taking a bunch of room. What partition should I put on the other hard
drive? Any suggestions would be appreciated

I am not positive about the 7570i, but I have not heard of any newer HP
IDE ReWriters not being supported. You are likely fine, but check the
cdrecord home page (more on this later) to be sure.
> Does the kernel support basic CD-ROM functioning through IDE . . .
Sort of. The IDE devices actually use scsi emulation (not as odd as it
sounds, ATAPI is actually SCSI commands being sent over an IDE bus). It
is a reasonable simple setup, but it does involve a kernal rebuild. You
then have what appears to be a SCSI cdrom device file for your IDE CD,
that works like any other CD-Rom device.
> then one needs software for writing disks?
Exactly. You will probably use cdrecord (see www.freshmeat.net) for the
basic disk writing. XCDRoast is another great package that puts a nice
gui on top of the cdrecord tool, although it had a few minor bugs last
time I looked at it.
I would also humbly suggest a tool I wrote, backburner (also on
freshmeat), for use creating backups of any and all of your native and
non-native disk partitions.
Good Luck, CDRW drives are a wonderfully flexible tool.

I suspect that if you look at the programs installed on your start menu,
you will find a CD-Copier program that makes a bit for bit copy of the
CD. This is what I had to use to create a good copy a RedHat 6.0 CDRom,
for some reason the drag and drop through adaptec CD Creator did not
work completely.

Don't go through the little CD icon in your system tray (the little
thing on the lower right hand corner of your win screen). Look at the
start menu and see if you don't see a CD Copier program there.
> All comments and suggestions welcome. Thanks!
Under Linux you can use XCDRoast to do the same thing. It has a CD Copy
button that sets up everything for you.
Good Luck!

Try

For a good high level description. This appears new (and more complete)
since I successfully configured my RedHat 5.2 system.
If that does not answer your question, go to www.freshmeat.net and look
up cdrecord. On the authors home page, there is tons of information on
getting this tool (which is likely what you will use to write CD's)
working with just about everything.
<Shameless plug on>
Once you get this working, you might want to check out my package
(backburner, also at freshmeat) and back up all your native and non
native drive partitions.

Good luck... it looks harder then it really is, and building a kernal is
kinda fun.

Run cdrecord -scanbus. This will tell you the major and minor device
numbers of your CD-RW drive.
Use the device numbers directly, not any of the stuff in /dev, when
talking to cdrecord from then on.

Hi:
Do not probe or let Xconfigurator to configure your setting. I have a
Diamond Viper770 (which uses TNT2) and I had to download the driver from
the chip maker site instead. The driver works perfectly if I skip all
probe or auto config.

Is this a "dvsd" modem (or "dsvd", I can never remember)? I had one in
a Boca 33.6 modem and tried for two years to get it running under Linux.
Similar to what you describe above. Never did work. Finally replaced
it with a US Robotics external modem. Haven't looked back.
The "dvsd" modems are similar to "winmodems". Only work under M$
Windows.
Good luck,
John

The P5A-B will do but uses the ALI Aladdin chipset which is not quite
there yet with UDMA support. I do like the VA503+ which has the BAT
form factor.
For an ATX system I like the AOpen AX59Pro; good quality, very flexible.

Their policy hasn't changed, at least in Minnesota. Luckily for me I've
got Windows as well as Linux here so they can do the initial setup on
W95. They made it very clear, however, that they did not care what I do
once they leave. For example, they don't allow their systems to be
connected to a LAN either during the initial setup but don't care what
you do later.

See my previous post!! The attached setup is for non-Winmodems. I
thought the Modem-HOWTO now catered quite well for internal modems,
however, this old old story seems to be rearing its head again with some
frequency, that's why I've saved it in case it ever became a popular
question again. It's helped many people to get going when the usual
advice was to use an outboard modem.

How? The BX does not officially support UDMA 66 unless you do tweaks
that is not supported by Intel. I really doubt if it's true UDMA 66 at
all since according to Intel, BX has no UDMA 66 capability. The only
way I can see that is possible is by matching the i810's southbridge
with the BX northbridge, and that is not sanctioned or allowed by Intel.

You did not say what type of modem you are using, just in case, I've
appended the setup for an internal PNP modem, this has helped many
people get going over quite a period, especially when the usual advice
was to use an external modem, it does not work with a Winmodem, there is
some development going on there, a search on linux+winmodem should yield
results.
