Not surprising, isapnptools only works on the ISA bus. It can't affect
the PCI bus ...

Well, that doesn't help matters. The BIOS is what manages PnP cards on
the PCI bus. At least it manages my video card (Graphics Blaster
Exxtreme) and my 3-D card (Diamond Monster 3-D), and they seem to work
fine with Linux. First step, enable PnP in the BIOS. Maybe it'll start
working.

Unfortunately, this is a recommendation I am unable to avoid. Even if
your modem can be made to work under Linux, why would you voluntarily
take that kind of hit on overall system performance?

Unfortunatly, this is a known problem, it is supposed that the driver
lacks support
of select(2) which causes this problem. Try to install Esound and use
the Esound wrapper

There are lots of linux support websites. Most make available the numerous
HOWTO's that explain many of the arcane features of linux that new users
want to delve into.
One site providing such info is the Linux User Support Team at:
http://www.ch4549.org/lust/
These are especially helpful HOWTO's for beginners:
Distribution - explaining different distributions of Linux and what they
offer:
http://www.ch4549.org/lust/Distribution-HOWTO
Installation - explaining how to obtain and install Linux:
http://www.ch4549.org/lust/Installation-HOWTO
DOS-to-Linux - helping people familiar with DOS commands to understand the
equivalent Linux commands:
http://www.ch4549.org/lust/DOS-to-Linux-HOWTO
I also recommend either buying or borrowing a third-pary book that explains
Linux. Usually it will include a CDrom of one of the distributions. My wife
gave me "Red Hat Linux Secrets" for Christmas and I still refer to it at
times.
Hope that helps!

Have the following in your /etc/lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=20
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda3

The first entry will always become the default operating system the machine will
boot into if you don't specify anything at the lilo prompt.

I'm running a Matrox G200, but if I bought now I'd get a G400. I
understand that the TNT2 is in the same class, but I haven't seen it.
3D support is under development, but isn't quite "there" yet. For info
about the G*00 or TNT* cards, see http://glx.on.openprojects.net/. If
you're thinking about going the Voodoo route, see

Well, not *JUST* like windows ... the *n*x version of Netscape doesn't
work too well as an offline newsreader, but there are others that

No, It's a BIOS problem, current BIOSes reserve only 10 bits for storing the boot
cilinder,
if you place your system bootup files above this 1023 cylinder mark, it won't be
able to boot
and LILO will give you a warning, again this is no LILO problem, but a current IBM
BIOS limit, that afaik no BIOS manufacturer has fixed yet...
The easiest thing to do, is to create a primary partition of around 10mb and place
it under this boundery
(pref. as 1st partition, to be sure) and mount it under /boot and install LILO on
it..
And to be clear, the value in GiB of 1023 limit varies from disk to disk and
doesn't nescesarly have to
be 504MiB.
As for the problems that accur arround 7.8-8.1GiB, in order for the BIOS to detect
harddisks bigger
than this limit, it needs to support Extended Interrupt 13 (EXT INT13).
Currently, Linux doesn't use the BIOS to detect the size of the HD, but for other
OSes on such systems
who don't support EXT INT13, try first to upgrade your BIOS, if that won't help,
just put the HD entries
in the BIOS on AUTO, it would probably do the trick...

Hi all,
I'm building a dual PIII and am down to deciding which
video card to get. I want to play 3D accelerated games
like Quake, but also want stable performance in X. So,
the question is, "which one do I buy?" The price of the
cards is not the issue for me. The issue is support in
Linux. I hear so many contradicting pro's and con's
between these two chipsets, that I am completely
confused. As far as the Voodoo 3 goes, I would purchase
it by 3Dfx. For the RIVA TNT2, I don't know. It would
probably be the one by Creative Labs.
So, in a nutshell, which chipset and which manufacturer
should I choose to buy?
Thank you _very much_ in advance!

Your best bet is to install a TrueType font server, like xfsft or xfstt,
if one doesn't already come with SuSE, along with some good TrueType
fonts. Microsoft's got some very good TrueType screen fonts on their web
site at:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fontpack/default.htm
Grab the Windows 3.1 archive, which is actually a self-extracting zip
file. You can extract the fonts in Linux using InfoZip ("unzip foo.exe").
You may also want to check the Font Deuglification HOWTO, at:
http://www.frii.com/~meldroc/Font-Deuglification.html
This gives more detailed information on configuring a font server,
improving the appearance of fonts in assorted programs, and so on. I
don't know if there are any SuSE-specific issues of which you should be
aware, though.

I thought Celeron did not support multi-processor setup?

Hi,
I am getting a new system and am wondering if I should pay more to get
ECC Memory. Is it really needed in a system that will be used only by
one person?
