Body of Message:
:
: : $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ WANT TO MAKE THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS WITH
: : ONLY A SIX DOLLAR INVESTMENT?!!! READ ON... PERFECTLY LEGAL!!!
: : $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
: : A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups and came across an
article similar to
: : this that said you could make thousands of dollars within weeks with only
an initial
: : investment of $6.00! So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but
like most of us, I
: : was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each
of the 6 names
: : and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address
in the bottom of
: : the list at #6, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups or send
bulk mail to a couple
: : hundred people (the more widely distributed this is, though, the more money
both you and I
: : can make!!!) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it over, and talking
to a few people
: : first, I thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I got to lose
except 6 stamps and
: : $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!?...
within 7 days, I
: : started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end
soon, but the money
: : just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of
the second week I
: : had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00
and it's still
: : growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over
$42,000.00 and it's
: : still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have
spent more than
: : that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly,
WHY it works...
: : Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the
information off of
: : it as you need it. I promise you that if you follow the directions exactly,
that you will
: : start making more money than you thought possible by doing something so
easy! I'm on my way
: : to trying it and see how the results come out. Suggestion: Read this entire
message
: : carefully! (print it out or download it.) Follow the simple directions and
watch the money
: : come in! It's easy. It's legal. And, your investment is only $6.00 (Plus
postage).
: : IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off; it is not indecent; it is not illegal;
and it is 99% no
: : risk - it really works! If all of the following instructions are adhered
to, you will receive
: : extraordinary dividends.
: : PLEASE NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more
can be yours in 20
: : to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and
integrity of the
: : participants. Please continue its success by carefully adhering to the
instructions. you will
: : now become part of the Mail Order business. In this business your product
is not solid and
: : tangible, it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing
Lists. Many large
: : corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists. However, the
money made from the
: : mailing lists is secondary to the income which is made from people like you
and me asking to
: : be included in that list. Here are the 3 easy steps to success:
: : STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each
piece of paper "PLEASE
: : PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside
EACH of the 6
: : pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope (to
prevent thievery).
: : Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should
now have 6 sealed
: : envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name
and address, and a
: : $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
LEGAL! You are
: : requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it! Like most of us
I was a little
: : skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I
checked it out with
: : the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed
legal. Mail the 6
: : envelopes to the following addresses:
: : #1)Nick Parrish 19 Queen Street Wordlsey Stourbridge DY8 5QW
: : #2) Jacques Lazenby 2011 W. 85th Street Los Angeles, CA 90047
: : #3) Joćo Silva Quinta-dos-Ciprestes. Pousaflores. 3240 Ansićo. Portugal.
: : #4) Martin Lopez Nores. San Xulian-Carballal 4-B. 36915 Marin(Pontevedra).
Spain.
: : #5) Alex Weickert. Frankensteiner Str. 12. 64342 Seeheim-Jugenheim.
Germany.
: : #6 David Goad. 201G Madison St. Radford,Va 24141
: :
: : STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (6
: : becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.
: : STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close
to original as
: : possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups or send
it by bulk email.
: : All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
make! You won't get
: : very much unless you post like crazy. :) This is perfectly legal! If you
have any doubts,
: : refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal lottery laws. Keep a copy
of these steps for
: : yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again.
PLEASE REMEMBER that
: : this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the
participants and
: : by their carefully adhering to the directions. Look at it this way. If you
are of integrity,
: : the program will continue and the money that so many others have received
will come your way.
: : NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on
a computer or hard
: : copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that you are truly
providing a
: : service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap the $1 bill in dark paper
to reduce the risk
: : of mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully
followed, six
: : members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with
one dollar each.
: : Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name
reaches the #1 position
: : you will be receiving thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity
for only $6.00
: : ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your
own name to the
: : list and you're in business!
: : ---DIRECTIONS ----- FOR HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------
: : Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
posting. Simply put your
: : cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom
of this document,
: : and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into
the computer's
: : memory.
: : Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the
blank page. From
: : the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into
notepad so that you
: : can add your name to the list.
: : Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your
postings in
: : different settings, you'll always have this file to go back to.
: : Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various
newsgroups (on-line
: : forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
: : Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message
by highlighting the
: : text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the
Subject, this will be
: : the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings
in a particular
: : group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one!
: : Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different
newsgroups and post
: : away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each
newsgroup!
: : **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!
BUT YOU HAVE TO
: : POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin receiving money from
around the world
: : within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O.Box due to the large
amount of mail you
: : will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use,
as long as the
: : postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.**
: : Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very
low example). So
: : then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5
persons who just sent
: : me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5
persons respond to
: : each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each
make 200 MINIMUM
: : posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an
additional $125.00! Now,
: : those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3
and only receive 5
: : replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun
part, each of those
: : 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each
only receive 5
: : replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all
deliver this message to
: : 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups
react I will
: : receive $15,625,00! With an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING!
When your name is no
: : longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and
send out another
: : $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start
posting again. The
: : thing to remember is: do you realize that thousands of people all over the
world are joining
: : the internet and reading these articles everyday?, JUST LIKE YOU are now!!
So, can you afford
: : $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if
the plan is
: : played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of
that happening
: : when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are
joining the internet
: : and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at
20,000 to 50,000
: : new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet.
Remember, play
: : FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. Now take the #1 name off the
list that you see
: : above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add
YOUR Name as number
: : 6 on the list. Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
close to original
: : as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I
think there are
: : close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you
post, the more money
: : you make! You won't get very much unless you post like crazy. :) This is
perfectly legal! If
: : you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the Postal
lottery laws. Keep a
: : copy of these steps for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use
it again, and
: : again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the
honesty and
: : integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the
directions. Look at it
: : this way. If you are of integrity, the program will continue and the money
that so many

get ahead for
: : once!

Subject: lilo -or- installing to a Mylex controller
Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2001 14:44:52 -0700
We're moving a few of our machines over to Mylex AcceleRAID 170's, and
I've run into a few very annoying problems... first, the RedHat 6.2
installation won't load the driver for the RAID card, and secondly, I can't
get LILO to get things working with the RAID controller.
As far as installation, if I start the RedHat installation, it won't
install the DAC960 driver. If I switch to another terminal and try to
insmod it, I get "device busy". But, the DAC960 driver with the regular
kernel runs the array just fine. How can I get RedHat 6.2 to install to the
array?
Or.... right now, the machines are still booting from a single drive.
Try as I might, it seems like no amount of fiddling with "boot=", "disk=",
and "bios=" will get LILO to put the right boot stuff on the array. One
combination got it to boot far enough to say "I have no root and I want to
scream....", and THEN a few seconds later, the DAC960 driver found the
logical drive.
Arg. What can I do better?

Make sure you don't have errant libraries hanging around - libglx.a is a
definite no-no.
The best way to check your system is with the nv_check.sh script - get it at

I had problems with the same mouse (Redhat 7.0) because I was using the ps/2
adaptor once I removed the adaptor and used it as a true usb mouse. If that
is not the case what modules have you loaded ie iissue a lsmod you should
see something like usbmouse.o or mousedev.o along with various others.
Q2 does your kernel have USB support built in, or as modules, or not at all,
you may need to make a new image .

That's not the whole truth (in my opinion:-): these are environments within
Linux and OS/2 that allow you to run Windows executables, i.e. _individual_
programs. This is pretty different from running a whole operating system, e.g.
including task, memory and filesystem management.
And the OP was asking how to run Linux, that is not an individual app, on a Unix
system.

How about looking in your manuals or asking Dell? For the
monitor you just need the horizontal and vertical frequency
ranges (should be similar to or identical with the comparable
Sony Trinitrons of that vintage), and for the video card
the manufacturer and model number should do it - lacking
the info from Dell, you could open the case and have
a look.

Keep in mind that there are two different issues - the
resolution, which might be affected by control-alt-+
depending on your XF86Config and the color resolution,
which is not affected by control-alt-+
Try executing the command xdpyinfo to see if you
are perhaps only running in 8 bit (256) color.

Remove the Ensoniq and see if the problem disappears. If so, try
different slot and/or IRQ arrangement for the card.
I had a strange problem on Abit KA7/Athlon and the ES1370 when trying to
set the card to traditional IRQ5. Disabling one serial port in BIOS and
using IRQ3 for the ES1370 resolved the problem.
