Hi James!
Just curious, why did you switch from Corel. I ask only because I'm
contemplating on making a purchase of the new Corel WordPerfect Office 2000
for Linux.
Thanks,

It seems probable. However, if Tyan can't let you know, would you buy an
expensive board from them? Why spend your money with a company that

Hi,
<p>It worked fine on mine (0.25 micron, 550 MHz, MB=Gigabyte 7Ix (or something
like that), 1x128 Mb (100 ns), hard drives=Maxtor 5200rpm 8 Gb UDMA33 +
IBM 7200rpm 20,5Gb UDMA66.
<br>But still, I had to get an upgrade from Linux Mandrake 6.0 to 6.1 as
there was no mtrr recognition of the K7 before kernel 2.2.10 (approximately,
if I remember well; in any case with 2.2.13 and above it is fine). I also
could have recompiled (actually, cross-compiled) the kernel without mtrr
support.
<br>I read that some memories don't work very well with K7. I don't know
which brand I have (I got them with the K7). The only hardware problem
I have may be coming from the aging 0.25-micron technology (now they have
0.18) : it heats too much. I have a double fan (designed for PII 400 MHz)
and I still have to open one of the side panels of my Linux box : 32°C
(up to 36°C) instead of 45°C when closed (CPU temperature - system
temperature is a couple of degrees lower).
<p>Enjoy your CPU (10000000 pi digits in 370 seconds !)

Hi - I recently moved (via drive image) a full Redhat 6.1 dist
completely setup from an abit bx6r2 (550e oc'd->733) to an asus p3v4x
(via 133a, 550e oc'd ->825mhz). Booted to runlevel 1 no problems where
I resolved the hardware differences and then set runlevel 3 , ran kde
and all is working well. Sound (aureal 1) is good too, using either OSS
beta's or linux.Aureal.com drivers, but to get kde event sounds to work
right, you need to take a look at the /usr/X11R6/bin/startkde script and
note where it looks in some /etc file to determine the cardtype. I
created the file it looked at, invented a cardtype called SOUND<G> and
now kde is happily making absolutely tasteless sounds. Other than that,
nothing of interest has changed for linux, no kernel recompile on 2.2.13
to get it to work just fine with 133a.
good luck

I'm glad the heatsink compound worked. However if I were you I would still
get a better heatsink fan. Even if you're not overclocking the CPU. I found

Hello,
Has anyone been successful at getting the 250 Zip up and running on RH
6.1? If so, could you please share your success.
I have checked the Iomega’s website
http://www.iomega.com/software/index.html
for Linux drivers and they point me to
http://www.linux.com/howto/mini/ZIP-Drive.html
>From this website I am pointed to (in section 4.8 - ZIPP250 version)
http://www.torque.net/~campbell/imm.tar.gz
a site that has a “Proxy Error” – No Route to Host.
I have checked Yahoo, Redhat, Cnet, Linux.org for help and can’t seem to
find instructions. Although I know (at least I think) that I need the
drivers for ZipPlus. Just can’t find anything.
I thought I knew a lot of the “How To’s” working in Windows for so many
years. Being a Newbie to Linux sure is a kick in the pants. But, it’s
fun.
Thanks again for any help.

Are you trying to ping by IP address or by name? If its by IP address then
I would look at the network connection. If by name, look at your domain

I had a 1505 for a long time, and could never get it running
in the kernel 2.2 code base. I finally trashed it and got an
old 1542b that works fine with my scanner. You may want to
opt for another scsi controller.

Subject: kernel freeze with bttv + WinTV Go
Date: 27 Mar 2000 23:18:24 +0200
Hi!
I have a serious problem with the frame grabber card WinTV Go and the
bttv driver. My video card is a Miro Magic Premium with Riva128 chip
and 4MB RAM. The kernel is 2.2.10-SuSE. The modules videodev, i2c,
tuner and bttv load without any problems.
Mostly, when i start xawtv the windows remains black. Sometimes a TV
picture appears, but then the picture freezes, and so do the
kernel. Sound works fine. I have tried to play around with the options
for bttv, with no effect. I have even tried to upgrade to kernel
2.2.14 or to change the PCI slot (although there is no interrupt
conflict).
I dont know what to do now. It seems that there is a buffer overflow,
or something like that, when writing to the frame buffer. Does anyone
has some hints, or some tips what to try next?

Yeah... there are several such things...
try: www.linhardware.com
Also go to: www.google.com
and search on "linux hardware compatible".
If it's tape drive compatibility you're looking for:
http://www.linuxtapecert.com/
good luck. The information isn't always as coherent as a book, but then
again, you're not reading a book.

No, technical is great, but what's the upshot? I should be able to use 4K
(or 6K, or whatever) SIMMs with my printer and it should work fine?

Subject: Modem installing problems under Linux 6.1
Hello!
I've recently installed Linux 6.1 (KDE) and I can't make my Modem work.
The modem is located on com3 in windows, which means Stty2 at linux.
But when I try to configure it - it responds "modem busy".
I'm afraid this modem could be not compatible with linux - I have Boca
36600.
Does anybody know what ot do, and if I have to buy another modem - can
anybody advice me which one to buy in order to be sure it will work
under both windows and linux.
Thanks in advance for your reply,
Vladi.
