This printer is supported by Ghostscript's cdj850 driver. The stock
RH5.2 printtool and ghostscript may well not know about this; if so
you should upgrade to the more recent Aladdin Ghostscript 5.50.
More information about the cdj850 driver is available at
http://www.erdw.ethz.ch/~bonk/hp850/hp850.html

Mount options for iso9660

check=r[elaxed] / check=s[trict]
With check=relaxed, a filename is first converted
to lower case before doing the lookup. This is
probably only meaningful together with norock and
map=normal. (Default: check=strict.)
In your case, check=relaxed should do it.
The file names still appear in lower case, but if you request a file
in upper case, you will get it.

You are running X, aren't you? It seems to be complaining that it can't
find an 8-bit (256-colour) display. If you are running X in other than
8-bit colour depth, it may complain. This is bad programming, though,
restricting the user to a specific colour depth.

Oops. /dev/hda is always the master and /dev/hdb is always the slave on
the
first EIDE-Interface. After having rejumped your harddisks, hdb got hda
and
vice verso. So change /etc/lilo.conf to:
boot = /dev/hda

root=/dev/hda1
and install lilo again.

Your root_device has changed too. It isn't /dev/hdb1 anymore but
/dev/hda1. Boot from your floppy and when the LILO-prompt
appears type:
root=/dev/hda1

Subject: Modem setup question
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 14:52:28 GMT
All:
I need some help to make my modem work.
I have an ISA modem(Not Winmodem) installed in my old 386PC,
and system has 8 mb memory on it. This machine was installed Win95 and
modem just worked fine(Not PnP mode). When I installed Redhat 5.2 on
this machine, everything seems Ok except modem card. I can dial in to my
ISP PPP server and get the connection. Then enter username and
password. I got connection and hundreds garbage characters. However,
just
after a few seconds, I was disconnected and minicom screen said "No
CARRIER". Using setserial -a /dev/ttyS3 (I am using port 4, IRQ 3), I
got
UART 16550A. Everything seems correct, but why I lost connection?
Is it possible due to my system memory be too small to cause the
problem?
This error repeated again and again and really bother me.
Somebody has idea and suggestion what I need to try to solve the
problem? Any help is very appreciated.
Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so I won't miss you.

No? Then you are likely to be in for a big surprise early next year. Don't
expect you HP-UX 9.x system to do well, nor your SunOS 4.1.3 box. In fact, I'd
be careful with any Unix OS that hasn't addressed patches for a few problems,
like tar, at and cron.
OTOH, Linus has published a statement that Linux is Y2K compliant.

Other people have posted about making win95 the default, but to access the
win95 (DOS) partition from linux, just mount it like any other device. you may
have to specify the type of FS to it...something like this:
mount /dev/hda3 /win95 -tmsdos
It's been a while since I've done this, so you may need a space between the
-t and msdos...I am assuming hda3 is where your win95 partition is...I just
picked a number, it may be hda1, hda2, hda3, hda4, hda5, hdb1, hdb2 etc. But
since you have both OS's installed I am assuming you know where that is.
As for the FS type, you -=*MAY*=- need to load a module if you havent
recompiled your kernel to include it. You may not have to tell it msdos. As I
said it's been a while, and I think I remember mounting a MS partition w/o
telling it the FS type (after I had support compiled into the kernel).
Load a module by typing /sbin/insmod <modname>..I dont know the correct module
you need to install though (sorry).
If you encounter problems try looking at the man page for mount and insmod, and
you may also want to look for anything on modules (man -k module should give
you a good listing if there's anything in there about them...cant imagine there
not being though)
Now, as far as Win95 being able to access the linux partition...I dont think
there's a way in hell that will happen. MS cant even get win95 to read NTFS
(their own alternative FS), so I dont think it will read ext2 either. If you
find out please let me know, I'm curious about getting that to work too (for
when I reinstall my game platofrm - I mean Win98 - on my machine).
Hope this info helps, even though I'm too windy for my own good and wrote
entirely too much about how to mount other partitions.

You can mount your win95 partition without a problem, vice versa is

Hi,
I have a problem with a scsi hd. At boot time the scsi adapter (adaptec
aha2740) reports that the number of heads / sectors is not correct for my
hard drive. It claims it should be 255 / 63 rather than 64 / 32 since the
drive is bigger than 1 Gb (which is true).
I then enter fdisk (booting from a slackware 3.6 floppy) adn in "expert
mode" I change the number of heads and sectors to what the scsi adapter
wants. I then add 1 primary linux partition and 1 extended partitiob
comprising swap space and another linux partition). I exit fdisk saving
the partition table (w).
At boot up, the scsi adapter complains about the same thing. I re-enter
fdisk and see that the card is right: I still have 64 heads and 32
sectors. I change this again, but I don't reboot this time. I just exit
fdisk and enter it again. I stil have 64 heads and 32 sectors...
BTW, I *could* boot the system from floppy and read the hard drive,
correclty afaik, although booting from the hard drive fails. I get the L
(from LILO I think) and then a number of 00 (double zero) that goes on
until I reboot.
I took long time to convince my boss to took away NT from that machine and
put up a linux server... please help!

Subject: Debian 2.1 install trouble: can't write boot floppy
Date: 17 Mar 1999 10:11:40 -0800
I tried last night to install Debian 2.1 onto a spare partition of my
work machine running RedHat 4.0 (with some kernel upgrades).
I put the base install files onto an existing partition. My first
problem was that inside the Debian install program it asked me what
partition they were one and where to mount it. I said to mount onto
'/foo', but then it couldn't find the files. (They had been in
/usr/share/Archives/Debian with /dev/sda13 mounted on /usr) I dropped
into a shell and looked at mtab and found that the Debian install had
mounted the partition onto /target/foo not /foo.
This problem solved I continued with the lengthy network install
portion (just lot's of into to enter if your on a real network with a
number of nameservers etc. and not standard network settings).
Then it wanted to make a boot partition or floppy. I must have this
be a floppy due to how my drive is partitioned. I replied floppy, and
it said insert an empty formatted floppy. Formatted with what OS?
First I tried a DOS floppy. Debian came back and said it failed but
gave no reason, saying the floppy was probably write protected or
bad. I tried another floppy, same result. I dropped to the shell and
mounted the DOS floppy and wrote and read to it. So I tried floppy
with a fresh ext2 format, same result. Mounted and wrote and read
it.
So I'm stuck, and the Debian install is sort of like a M$ product. It
gives me no real information on what it's trying to do or what is
going wrong when it tries to write the boot floppy. But I am able to
show that the floppies are in fact ok, even when running the Debian
install boot.
Any ideas on how to proceed?

Thanks, I think I found it under the K menu, it wasn't hard, anyway, but I
still have that troubling gunzip problem. I am rather frustrated, although
there has been some good advice that I will try (not least the tar
function, alhtough I believe I did try tar wordperf~1.gz and it didn't work
somehow).

this depends on what desktop you're using, so i can't tell you
otherwise. there's probably a menu someplace that calls itself xterm or
some such. you can cd to the directory just as if you were in dos, and
then run the file.

that /usr/i486../lib
was the first line, nothing seems to help. I can run it from the shell
but sometimes if gives me a wrong codec error even if I have played the
file before with no problem. Hints? I have /usr/local/rvplayer5.0 in the
path and LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/rvplayer5.0. I am frustrated because
everything looks like it should. Why would it be having trouble loading
the libc5 libraries? I am assuming that this is the problem.
Thanks in advance

Subject: How many $$$ does Linux save?
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 13:01:01 -0000
I'm just trying to understand approximately how much I'd save using Linux
compared to say Solaris. Does anyone know how much Solaris costs per
license? Does anyone have any hard data on how much money setting up a Linux
based system saves?
My architecture consists of 2 servers and 6 client machines.
Thanks

There is one benefit in buying the boxed set with the proper manuals which
hasn't been mentioned (and which doesn't apply to the original poster).
At work we use Linux quite a bit, and since we have a fat (10 Mb in the
eveings) pipe I simply download the complete i386 and Alpha versions each
time a new release comes out and burn my own CDs.
However, a year or so ago I purchased the real RedHat 4.2. Why? Well,
occasionally we get officious oafs coming round checking that we are using
properly licensed software. Trying to explain that our entire network runs
off free software which I downloaded off the internet would give them
appoplexy. So I simply show them the box and manuals and (not having the
nouse to see that its an old version) they go away happy :-).

Subject: Server Name Question
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1999 15:42:22 -0500
Hi-
I'm new to both linux and smb so I apologize if this
is a stupid question. I have two NICS in my linux box;
one connects to RoadRunner (and uses DHCP). The other
is connects to my LAN (I'm using IP-Masquerade). I've
got samba set up and running; but the server name I see
in my Windows98 explorer says something like D185f....
I'd like to see the actual server name (Iago), and not
something which I guess is being assigned by Road Runner.
My [global] section in /etc/smb.conf looks like this:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
domain logons = yes
encrypt passwords = yes
printing = bsd
load printers = yes
guest account = guest
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
share modes = yes
server string = Samba Server
dns proxy = no
interfaces = 192.168.0.1/24
remote announce = 192.168.0.255
null passwords = yes
So, is this a samba problem or a general network config-
uration problem?
Thanks much,
Tom Barry
