Hi Jeff-
I just today sucessfully installed Debian Linux on an MCA machine.
I too am curious to know what happened to those sites as now I have a
new problem - trying to find a supported ethernet card. The MCA 3com
Etherexpress I have in there now is not supported. :(.
Anyone know where I might find a list for Microchannel Supported
Hardware?

To read to floppy disk, I use mount /mnt/floppy
However, when I change the disk to new disk is not picked up - an "ls"
reveals files that were on the old disk.
When I try and remount, I keep getting a "device is busy" message which
takes about 20 mins to disappear before it reads the new floppy.
Surely there must be a simpler way to read new floppies!

I do believe that many 'reports' of MS Windows crashing several times
a day are exaggerated, but a stable OS it is certainly not. When still
I had Windows95 installed on my computer it crashed about a couple of
times a week (sometimes less, sometimes more). It may not seem that
bad, but it's still far too often for my taste. I use Linux
exclusively on my box now, and I have yet to see a kernel crash (and I
have used devel kernels since 2.1.114 (granted, I have had a few
problems with those, but never a crash)). Netscape has locked X a
couple of times though (but those times I have been able to log in
remotely and kill Netscape).

Linux very rarely needs to be rebooted for these things - almost all
changes except installing a new kernel or new hardware can be done
without rebooting.
Programs should document a method to do this on a per program basis -
have a look in the manual pages and other documentation. However, if
you are using programs managed by your system there should be a
simpler way.
Most packages for demons will provide scripts to start, stop and
restart them - this is how the system knows how to do this at startup
and shutdown. On RedHat, have a look in /etc/rc.d/init.d. On Debian,
it's just /etc/init.d. The scripts will support various options,
including start and stop which have the obvious meanings and will
cleanly start and stop the program.
If the program doesn't restart and you don't see a message saying why,
remember to check the logs in /var/log - many non-interactive programs
send error messages to the logs rather than the screen.

If you have a parallel port version of an IOMEGA Zip drive, typing "insmod
ppa" should allow Linux to notice the drive (as long as a disk is in the
drive). To mount the drive type 'mount /dev/sda4 -t vfat /Zip'. This is the
way I mount it, since the disk is formatted in FAT16 and I use it in
conjunction with an NT workstation at University. Hope that helps !

The US antitrust laws are designed to protect consumers, not competitors.
Has the consumer been harmed? Of course not. Have competitors been harmed?
Netscape's current market capitalization is $6.5 billion. This is hardly an
example of harm. Netscape is more an example of great success. Asked the
founders who are laughing all the way to the bank. Of course if Microsoft
had not competed with Netscape, Netscape may have retained its 80% browser
monopoly and been worth even more. Boohoo.

It's possible that your cable modem provider is using a proxy server or

Could be. Please check you modem's model number against this list:

The Newcom modems are at the very bottom of the list. If you've got one

Floppy formatting is a hardware task. Granted, it's controlled by
software, but that is not relevant. Users are not allowed to use
the formatting ioctl(), so a program which has as its sole purpose
the controlled use of that very same ioctl() is pretty useless to
non-root users.

And I claim that fdformat is a "systems admin tool only".

Over Christmas I was in my parents' house and used my father's Windows
95 box a while.
I did three things with it:
I browsed the web with Internet Explorer
I used telnet
I used a proprietary bridge playing program (GIB)
Over the course of a week, it crashed several times. One time it
crashed apparently because I moved the telnet window on the desktop as
GIB was loading. Other times it just hung. Sometimes I'd hit
CTRL-ALT-DEL in order to forcibly kill the running task, which had
hosed itself somehow, and then the whole machine would freeze up. It
was amazing to me.
I got back to my Unixoid machines, Linux, Solaris, Irix, etc., and ran
uptime. They had been up for hundreds of days. And they didn't crash
before that either; rather, they just needed to be rebooted in order
to take a software upgrade or because a hardware change was made.
When Windows 98 was rolled out, some people handed out GNU/Linux CD
Roms on the sidewalk to the journalists. They'd say "Here's an
operating system that doesn't crash" and the journalists didn't
believe that such a thing was possible. Because, you see, they only
used Microsoft products.

Which only tells half the story. That it is not setuid
tells the other half.
The reason a binary should be in an sbin directory would
be because it is a systems admin tool only, that only users
doint systems admin work will use.
