Until Intel *stops making money* on IA-32 chips, they are unlikely to
stop making them. Consider that they still manufacture 8 bit
microcontrollers.
It seems highly improbable that Intel will even start to "stop caring"
about IA-32 sales until 2002 or 2003 at the *earliest.*

Actually the wording would have been better if he had said, But I
think it is pretty clear that you would not be in a right mind if you
were trying to do anything that is critical you stay up and running
using Win9x/NT. I am sure lots of critical work gets done on both

Whether Bill Gates is the ultimate businessman or not I don't know -
maybe
this Microsoft show isn't really his doing, but rather the work of his
adviser. I don't think you and I are in a position to determine this. He
has had success in his business, obviously, at least if success is
limited
to mean 'hoarding a lot of money'. But this may be like saying that
'Hitler
was the ultimate war lord' because he had a lot of military success -
now
we know something about that ended, and what is really left of his
success?
(NB: I'm not here comparing the person Hitler with the person Bill
Gates!)
And I don't think Gates is a genius either. Genius is more than just
being
an intelligent opportunist - think about eg Einstein. He was obviously
very
intelligent, but maybe not as much as eg. Bohr or a lot of others - but
he
was able to edge his way past the limitations in the model of the world
that
he had learned and accepted as true, to find a solution that in fact is
surprisingly simple, even if most of us find it difficult to understand.
Gates, on the other hand, has not achieved his success by other means
than
the traditional - after all, his trick is just to sell SW in the same
way
you sell shampoo and other luxury items. This is not genius, just bad
moral.

I had the same problem with a 2940UW I bought about 6-7 weeks ago. What
ever the current 2.1 series kernel was at that time wouldn't boot with the
scsi card in, got into an endless timeout-reset loop. I wrung my hands
for about 2 weeks then upped the kernel to 2.1.34 and have had nothing but
joy since. I'm not really sure about what kernel versions did and didn't
work with the 2940UW, but the point is a move up to the latest (2.2pre5 as
of now) may be all you need.

Same problem here JaWz. Let me know if you solve it and I will do
likewise.
It is to do with the newer versions of AfterStep installing in
different directories /usr/local/bin and usr/local/share/afterstep
rather than the older /usr/share/afterstep and usr/X11R6/bin/ dir's.
I have been playing with several files that involve starting X on my
system like my .Xclients in /etc/X11/xinit/ and inserting the above
dir's in my path but I haven't solved it yet.

Date: Wed, 13 Jan 1999 03:17:50 GMT
I have samba working to the point where my NT4 and Linux systems can
see each others' files and the permissions seem to be working.
Now I'd like to automate smbmount for the two NT4 shares that I'm
using on my Linux system.
The smbmount man-page said normal users could smbmount if smbmount was
"installed suid root". It sounds like this means the smbmount
executable runs as root, but I can't find how to make smbmount suid
root. What command is used for that?
And where would I place the smbmount and smbumount commands so that
the NT shares would be mounted at system startup? Thanks. -steve

Subject: No space left on device--NOT!
Date: Wed, 13 Jan 1999 03:56:13 GMT
I've been running Slackware 3.5 for a few months on a Western Digital
8 Gig AC38400L. Most of this was configured as a 6 GB filesystem.
About a month ago, errors started cropping up. At bootup, fsck would
complain that the filesystem contained errors. Despite running fs2ck
in single user mode, the disk continued to deteriorate. I thought
the problem might be some huge (> 3000 files) directories on that
filesystem, so I backed everything up, repartitioned the disk into
a bunch of 2 GB fs's, and tried to resotre from tape. Before restoring
more than 300 files to one of the big dirs, I got 'No space left on
device', and messages about 'free blocks count corrupted'. According to
df, less than 10% of the disk was actually used, and this corresponded
roughly to how long the tape (8mm) had run. (Tar was used for backup) Also,
errors started to appear on the root filesystem. badblocks -w was
showing a lot of bad blocks, so I sent the disk in for replacement.
Meanwhile, I slid in a SCSI dri

OK this one is keeping me up at night...
Let's say that user A who lives in frodo.com nfs mounts a drive belonging to
user B at hermes.com. Locally, for user A, all of user B's drive is
available under /mnt/hermes. Now let's pretend that user B decides to nfs
mount user A's drive on /mnt/frodo. For user B, all of user A's drive
(including /mnt/hermes) is available under /mnt/frodo. Now, let's further
pretend that user B does an ls -R on /mnt/frodo. This will eventually reach
the directory on frodo /mnt/hermes which will of course list all of user B's
local drive, INCLUDING /mnt/frodo !!! And so on and so forth as nauseam. Is
this a valid conclusion? Will there really be an infinite filesystem? Have
the authorities been notified? Has this been asked before? Am I an idiot?

There's a way to do it with one of the *roff programs, but I don't remember it
and I'm not on Linux right now. What I used to do in school, pre-Linux, was
"man ipfwadmin | colcrt - | lpr" (yes, that's a "-" after "colcrt"). I assume
Linux has colcrt, but I can't check right now. It won't give you boldface or

System.map should be the one created when you compile your new
kernel. Here's my 9 steps to a perfect build:
1. unpack in /usr/src
2. make config
3. make dep
4. make modules
5. make modules_install
6. make zImage -- to get a compressed kernel
7. mv arch/i386/boot/zImage /boot/vmlinuz-<kernel number>
mv System.map /boot/System.map-<kernel number>
8. cd /boot
ln -s vmlinuz-<kernel number> vmlinuz
ln -s System.map-<kernel number> System.map
9. run lilo -- must be in /boot when doing this
The basic thing I like about this setup is it allows me to keep a
"backup" kernel in case my newest compile is a blunder; and I can try
out new features and just switch back to my regular kernel when I
don't like them.

Unfortunately, just about every magazine you buy uses subscription
services. It turns out that maintaining subscription databases is far
more complex than you might think at first. I've seen several
magazines editorialize on the reasons they've decided to switch to sub
services and it all boils down to the fact that it's way more
expensive to do it themselves than it is to contract it out.
I think it took about 8 weeks for my first copy of LJ to come through
and I live less than 200 miles from them. Plus, I see that the news
stand copies are generally out before I get my sub copy. This is
something I've never seen before with other magazines; and I do find
it annoying. I may drop my subscription when it runs out, since I'm
in the bookstore almost every week anyway & could just buy it there.

Hey,
I had the same exact problem. That means that your eth0 configuration is
messed up. Did you disable the PnP on the card (using the dos disk provided)
before you installed linux??
What you have to do is disable PnP, get the irq and i/o for the card, and
enter it manually in the diagnosis program. Then linux
should get along with it.

Subject: Terrible partitions problem
Date: Wed, 13 Jan 1999 10:28:14 +0100
Hi again!
I have NT 4.0 on the first partition. I had before a second partitions
to
NT 4.0 which is now removed, I think its /dev/hda5 becaus the disk size
is
equal.
/dev/hda1 Boot Primary DOS FAT16 [NO NAME ] 1539.57
/dev/hda5 Logical DOS FAT16 (big)
535.50
/dev/hda6 Logical Linux 941.07
/dev/hda3 Primary Linux Swap 63.00
I use the procedure below to add this removed partition to linux.
In fdisk I delete /dev/hda5 with the "d" command, then create new linux
partition with "n" command. I choice logical type (becous I want use
this
space to applications) and where it's should start and where it's end
should be, I select the numbers of cylinders what fdisk recomended.
This partition should be exactly in middle of two another partitions.
When I entered p command I could notice that /dev/hda5 and /dev/hda6
changes
size so /dev/hda5 get the /dev/hda6 size and /dev/hda6 get the /dev/hda5
size.
After I done all this I use "w" command to save the new configuration.
Fdisk
recommende me to reboot, which I done. But now when my pc rebooting I
get the
following message:
[MS-DOS... something
Transaction block size = 512
something...
something...
something...
Kernel panic: VFS : Unable to mount root fs on 03:06
What happen? Have I crashed my hd? How can I make it to work again?
Please help me someone I really have panic now...
Thanks!

Subject: Which version
Date: Wed, 13 Jan 1999 10:25:54 +0000
Hi all, I'm getting very anti Win 95 at the moment, and have been
considering getting a Lynux OS. This whole thing is very new to me. I
understand that there are different variants of the Unix OS, such as
S.U.S.E and Red Hat etc. I bought a mag which had the SUSE OS on the
cover disk, although I read that the Red Hat version is easier to
install.
What are the differences between these variants and which is better
suited for a complete novice.
Any help is appreciated.
