It sounds to me like you're married to the Win95 mentality. That dog

ident is a network protocol that lets machines identify each other.
See man identd (with a final d) for details. It shouldn't take 98% of the

Use post-install in your /etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules:
post-install <Module Name> mixer pcm 25
post-install <Module Name> mixer line 100
When the module gets loaded it will execute the required commands.

Subject: Netshow for Linux -- Very puzzled, folks!
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 1999 08:41:50 GMT
Dear friends:
I wrote earlier today about the availability of a Netshow version for Linux
from Taiwan and a more recent version for Linux from Italy.
I was quite stunned to discover these. I have downloaded them and will try
them out in the next few days when I get my Linux and learn how to really
use it.
If you read my othe posts, I think you will be quite reassured about my
motives, intentions and where I come from. Of course, that's up to you to
decide.
While I have decided to make a complete break with Microsoft and will be
installing an onlyLinux system (purchased from Cosmos Engineering -- Linux
on a Disk), it is important to me professionally as a Russian translator to
have access to Netshow OR A LINUX EQUIVALENT for certain Russian video and
audio programs. Fortunately, most of the Russian programs are available on
RealPlayer. Still, while I was willing to wait till Linux came up with a
program that could play WMP's files, I thought it might a good idea to do a
little research. So, I used my Copernic98 and up came two sites, one in
Taiwan and one in Italy, each offering a Netshow for Linux. Meanwhile, from
what I have heard, Linux users have been waiting since October for
Microsoft to put out their Netshow for Linux. Is it conceivable that these
versions in Taiwan and Italy are indeed the Microsoft version, only hidden
away in far-away places? I find this quite startling. I will find out
sooner or later. Perhaps a Linux expert can take a look at the two versions
and give us an expert opinion.
The addresses for the Taiwan and Italian versions of Netshow are available
in my other postings. No need to repeat them here.
Thank you all for your kind help.

I used to use an msdos utility that created a smart ram drive, i.e.,
the drive was avaiable for ram disk purposes BUT when the ram disk had
free memory that memory was not wasted it was available to the system
as regular memory. Do linux ram drives behave the same way? I think I
remember someone saying they did a while back.

The GNU Make manual is available as an `info' file on your system &
the first 3 chapters give you a pretty good introduction to the
basics. Do `info make' at the shell prompt.
If you prefer print, you can buy the manual from FSF for $20. The
O'Reilly book <Managing Projects with Make> is a bit more dense, but
it, too, opens with a tutorial.

concerns about how an attorney was handling my case, I'd get advice

Read it again. That is not what I said. What I expect is for an
attorney to give me cautious advice designed to avoid litigation, which,
depending on what you want, may not be the best advice. And, from a
certain perspective, that is the best way for the attorney to behave.
But that does not mean it's best for us to sit on our collective rump
and let those who are willing to (and capabable of) paying lawyers to
sue us determine what is legal and what is not.
What kind of advice do you think an attorney would have given Rosa
Parks with respect to sitting at the front of the bus? Would it have
been the best advice for her purposes?

You'll note I didn't say I wouldn't consult an attorney at all.
Only that I would try to make my own assessment of the situation, and
not rely solely on an attorney.
Plus, I tend to think it's disingenuous to totally cede
responsibility for the law to the lawyers. The law is (supposed to be)
for everyone, not just those who pass the bar, or can afford to hire
those who do so.

I would have thought it would have been the result of being to close
to the situation to make a rational evaluation, rather than just not
doing one's homework. (The former criticism I can certainly see as

Huh?
In the main makefile (or in fragment dealing with networking if it's separate)
network_stop:
<actions>
in the nfs.mk:
network_stop: nfs_stop
Moreover, you can say
MODLIST += nfs
network_DEP += nfs
in nfs.mk and in the end of the main makefile play with subst and foreach
if you really are into macdinking and want everything happen automagically.
BTW, it's not necessary to say make <whatever> - just start the main makefile
with
#!/bin/make -f
and make it executable. Then /etc/rc.d/rc.mk/Makefile network_stop will do
the thing (and care of dependencies) if you really want to stop networking.

Sure, that's what they all say. Admit it -- you think Windows RULES!! You
want to start a web site called windowsrocks.com. You probably have a giant
autographed poster of Bill hanging on your wal! :)
Ok, just to be fair, I'll let the cat out of the bag... I think Windows 98 has
some advantages over UNIX-type OSes... nice integration of the OS with the
GUI. I think Charles Petzold and his "Programming Windows" series rules!
I also think M$ is slightly ahead of FreeBSD and Linux in the use of
multi-threading, although I expect FreeBSD and Linux to catch up and eventually
surpass MS in this respect. Also, Windows makes use of approximate point sizes
in sizing its system points. Like, Win98 has a thing were 800x600 is
considered 120dpi, and when you want a 10 point font, Win98 actually tries to
make the font 10/72 inch high by adding more pixels to the font when the
resolution gets higher. X just assumes a 10 point font is 10/72 inch high at
one and only one resolution, like 640x480. Then when you change to 800x600 or
1024x724, it keeps the font metrics constant, so a 10 point font actually
becomes real small. For example, a 12 point font sized at 640x480 in X will
look more like a 10 point font at 800x600. But in the Win98 case, that 12
point font will get scaled up to look the same size at 800x600 and 1024x480 (it
will try to, anyway).

That's the explanation for your booting problem. Didn't you get
any error-messages at compiling time like 'system too big'? I'm
not quite sure, but that could be the reason for a tiny ugly
kernel like yours.
So try it again. Remove all from your kernel you don't need
or run 'make bzImage' instead of 'make zImage' and copy
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to the apropriate place.
The rest of the procedure is the same.
And no, you don't need to uncompress the kernel yourself. That's
done by the kernel itself at booting time.

What problem do you have with amd? I don't use amd. So I don't think
I'm able to help you. But this newsgroup is the right place to discuss
it.
Hope this helps

Try:

I've had good luck on multiple occasions purchasing items from both
