Agreed!!

I run both NT4 Server and Linux at home and anything important (DNS, SOCKS
etc) runs on a Linux box as I found it easier to do than with NT. Also price
and hardware required favour the Linux route. FYI I have both Linux and
Windows clients.

I also do not want a war about this though, its just my opinion...

Nonsense.  Redhat is rather painless to setup.  A novice could probably
have it up and running as a SOHO file server in under an hour since samba
comes turned on by default.

Kinda pointless when there aren't any drivers. Perhaps at some point in
the future there will be -- but until then, you'd -- depending on
the type of drive -- either not be able use it or only use it as a recular
CD-ROM drive.

And welcome to your opinion you certainly are.

Personally, I am in the NT camp, I find it easier to use than unix or any
varient thereof, but they are *both* excellant server platforms IMHO. I
would probably reccomend NT to someone who was asking for a box that was
easy to use and administer, because in my personal experiance NT has proven
to be so.

As for stability, well Linux is not the worlds most mature product, and its
doing very well considering how new it is, but I would hesitate before
betting the farm on it none the less. As for NT - well I see lots of people
commenting on how unstable it is, but I can honestly say that they must run
their servers in a different way from me because my NT servers are rock
solid and I am very confident in them. Considering the amount of people who
say NT gives them trouble I wonder what I am doing wrong!

But like I say, either choice is good for a home network. Its pretty much
down to which one the user prefers getting to grips with.

I had similar problems with a Caviar Western Digital 540 MB and a Seagate

would not see them in the "my computer" or in the "explorer". DOS boot
would not help either. I tried with 3 different computers (one was DOS
6.2, the others were Win 95), the picture was the same. Initially, I was
able to access the 540 MB, but it would show only 10 MB of space. After I
reformated it, it was lost completely (I had no data on it). The
electronic shop specialist tried to diagnose and fix them, but he also
failed. His conclusion was that the disks are going bad. As far as I know,
there is a service, that recovers data from dead HD's, if it is moneywise.

I believe redhat puts it's images in /boot.
So copy System.map from /usr/src/linux to /boot,
and put your /vmlinuz in /boot.
Then edit your /etc/lilo.conf file to make sure
lilo points to /boot/vmlinuz, not the old kernel.

Then run lilo once and you should see the "added"
lines. If not, then etc/lilo.conf isn't setup right.

You're dooing fine - you're just not quite finished, yet. You need the
DNS numbers from your internet provider - you'll have to give them a
call. They should give you at least one number, usually two. Then you
need a file: /etc/resolv.conf - it looks like this on my system (my
provider is europa).

domain europa.com
nameserver 123.456.789
nameserver 345.667.888
search europa.com

the second line is the primary nameserver number from europa, and the
third line is the secondary number. If you get only one number, that's
ok - you'll only have one "nameserver" line.

Set up that file and I'll bet everything will work fine.

Thank you for your response. Yes I did mean in the console. That sounds
pretty complicated.
I did get the refresh rate under X Window using xvidtune and confirmed with
someone on this newsgroup that it's figures are accurate. I just wanted to
be sure that I wasn't  running at 60Hz.

Thanks,

I don't want to start a flame-war here, but what with the number of bugs
NT has, and its sheer complexity, I think Linux would be a better choice.
The last argument is *quite* arguable, and in my experience, neither of
them are true. No one in any walk of life could have ther lives improved
by NT, and you can quote me on that. Ever noticed the demand for people
like yourself? That's because administrating NT is a *big* job, and more
of a headache than any other system. Around here, I think, we tend to
refrain from giving advice like this.

It means that someone else might be using glint or rpm.
It could also be that you use glint without being root.
You must be root to install packages on your system.

The 'resume' feature (surprise) dumps memory to disk. Have you set up a place
for the machine to dump memory? It can be a dedicated partition or a dos file.
Check the setup cd.

What libs do your fortran programs use (run 'ldd' on them)

If they're not loading libX* it's not an X problem, but it might be

Failing that, compile with appropriate debug/traceback info, and

I have found that the best (i.e., my favorite) wm for use with or
without Gnome is icewm. It is very Gnome-compliant, and the pager works
fine with it. I don't know why it doesn't get more attention. It is
small, fast, rock-solid stable, but still quite full-featured. You might

Dafür habe ich mir wie auf der Mirabilis seite geschildert JDK1.1.7
heruntergeladen und installiert.

Die Installation vin ICQJava hat daraufhin auch funktioniert (keine
Fehlermeldungen)- installation complete !

wenn ich ICQ dann ausführen will bekomme ich folgende Fehlermeldung :

bash-2.02# ./ICQ
SIGSEGV   11*  segmentation violation

Full thread dump:
Monitor Cache Dump:
Registered Monitor Dump:

    Child death monitor: <unowned>
    Event monitor: <unowned>
    I/O monitor: <unowned>
    Alarm monitor: <unowned>
    Monitor registry: <unowned>
Thread Alarm Q:
./ICQ: line 2:  1111 Aborted                 /usr/jdk1.1.7/bin/java

Mirabilis.ICQ.NetAware.CNetAwareApp -path /root/ICQJava
bash-2.02#

Kann mir Irgendjemand sagen was das zu bedeuten hat ?

vielen Dank im Voraus

Hi,

You should use fdisk/mbr.

Wondering where the video4linux mailing list(s) are?  The pointers on
various pages (eg Alan Cox' page) point to a machine that does not have
a DNS entry (odin.appliedtheory.com).  Have the lists moved?

Also, has anyone gotten a Zoltrix BT848-based card to work on kernel 2.0?
dmesg reports:

bttv: Host bridge 82437FX Triton PIIX
bttv0: Brooktree Bt848 (rev 18) bus: 0, devfn: 152, irq: 10, memory: 0xf1000000.
bttv: 1 Bt8xx card(s) found.
bttv0: audio chip: TDA9840
bttv0: audio chip: TDA9850
bttv0: audio chip: TDA8425
bttv0: model: BT848A(Hauppauge old)

bttv: Video memory override: 0xf0000000
