There was just a long thread on the same card, with almost the same

recommend going to www.deja.com and doing a search for "Ensoniq Audio

I just got RedHat 6.0, and wanted to upgrade RH5.2 on my IBM PC300PL. I
used rawrite to write BOOT.IMG to a diskette. I put the RedHat CD-ROM

You might be getting the error because you can't mount a cdrom when you are in
the directory. Type 'cd /' and then do a mount. I doubt this will help much
but most things are just a simple annoying fix away (and this is quite
simple).

I am having to boot from a floppy; LILO stops at "LI" because, according
to fdisk, my physical start/end points for my partitions don't match my
logical start/end points. I know I can fix this with a wipe/reinstall,
but I was wondering if there are any linux tools which could be used to
address this without wiping the disk.

The tar.bz2 kernels at us.kernel.org are < 5 MB up to 2.0.30; 2.0.37 is
6099082 bytes. If you figure 40% compression that's some 10 MB of
uncompressed source (and I'm in the wrong partition to verify that).
linux-2.2.0.tar.bz2 is 10592549 bytes. linux-2.2.10.tar.bz2 is 11292245
bytes. linux-2.2.6.tar.bz2 (which is what Slackware 4.0 installs as a
default) is 11028101 bytes.
He's running 10 hours to compile and install with a DX2-66; I'm doing about 7
just for the compile on a DX4-100. He's certainly in the ballpark. Or I am.

That's not the case Hagbard. It's simply the case that the lower speed
chips are in the price sweet spot right now. Here's a quick price comparision
of AMD k6 chips from a local place here in Atlanta...
AMD K6II-3D 350 $55
AMD K6II-3D 400 $86
AMD K6II-3D 450 $128
AMD K6II-3D 475 $179
AMD K6III-3D 400 $179
AMD K6III-3D 450 $239
BTW in comparison PIII 500 are $479 and PIII 550 are $769.
The high in chips are at premium prices. The 350 Mhz chips are commodity.
Now there are a couple of folks out there that have 8 way 550 Mhz Xeons which
are working just fine. But that's $15000 worth of equipment.
In fact looking at this it doesn't really make sense to me why not do the
distributed computing thing. For the nearly $800 of the PIII 550 I can get
3 K6II 450's, MBs, and PCI busmastering NICs, enough so that switching Hub
isn't necessary. That certainly should have more than enough horsepower to
compete with a single PIII 550.
Get the fastest chip you can afford. Be aware that Linux may not support some
of the newer onboard stuff like ATA-Ultra/66 for example.
But processors are usually the most compilant and most stable part in the
system (which the exception of the very early k6 glitch several years ago
that was quickly found and fixed.)
Buy what you like and be happy.
