The first question is a good one; I usually use four virtual consoles,
three as myself and one as root. I'd like a way to differentiate them
easily. I use "setterm -inversescreen on" to make the three user
consoles black on white.
So I took a look at "man setterm" and there are -foreground and
-background options therein, which set the foreground and background
colors, respectively. But that will only differentiate users, not
terminals. Also, common programs (e.g., less) ignore or even reset the
color setting (but honor inverse video).
What I want is a way to identify the terminal in the prompt.
The answer to the SECOND question is to put the answer to the first in
/home/<whatever>/.bashrc

There was a posting a coupla months ago from someone else reporting
similar symptoms, which entirely went away when he replaced his
defective RAM. If you have spare RAM try swapping out the parts one
at a time. If not, go to sunsite, er, ah, I mean... oh I can't remember

What is the format of the PS1 variable?
I want to change my prompt to something like:

Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I've got two ZipDrives, (one external, 100Mb parport, one external, 100Mb
SCSI and a 1Gb Jaz Drive. The SCSI Zip and the Jaz are connected to a
ZipZoom accelerator card, and the Parallel port Zip is, well, connected to
the parallel port.-)
My problem is, I can't get Linux to see either of the SCSI devices.
During "Install", when Linux asked if I have any SCSI devices, I say yes,
and do a probe, it comes back saying "It detects no SCSI devices". The
ZipZoom is based on the Adaptec 152X, but even when I choose it as the SCSI
device, it doesn't detect it.
I also have an adaptec AHA-1520A SGL ISA/SCSI card that's not connected, you
think I'll have better luck using it?-|
It sees the ParPort Zip just fine.
FYI; I have a MicronMillennia 166 P/64Mb Ram/ hda= Maxtor DiamondMax 8.4Gb/w
M$win on hda1/ hdb=Seagate 1.6Gb hdb1=Caldera OpenLinux 1.3

That means that these Mindcraft guys were aware that they have tested
the LINUX performance with a BETA DRIVER for the MegaRAID controller and
they were aware that this beta driver was just a SINGLE-THREADED driver!!
It's evident that the multi-threaded NT driver for the MegaRAID controller
has a much better performance under havy load as a single-threaded
driver ... so their so called test results are very dubiuos and rigged.

Subject: Tape Backup causing lockup
Date: 25 May 1999 12:43:14 GMT
I'm experiencing strange tape drive behavior on one of my machines.
It doesn't seem to matter which kernel is involved, but when the tape
gets to backing up anything in the /lib directory, the machine locks
instantly. No time for an error message on screen or in logs...
Other machines don't exhibit this behavior.
Could it be a bad/corrupted file in /lib, or something else? I'm using
a Seagate Travan-8000 SCSI-2 drive for backup. Presently, I'm using
kernel 2.2.7, with tape support as a module (it doesn't seem to matter).
If anyone else has seen this behavior, I'd be grateful. I really don't
want to re-install the distribution if I can help it.

Assume I have a freshly installed SuSE 6.0 installation, a freshly

I have recompiled the kernel following the insttruction provided....ie
sound as a module, and no other drivers selected (except /dev/dsp and
/dev/audio). Then after installing the CL drivers I reboot and try insmod
soundcore. This reports that it cant find a module called soundcore.

Subject: Middleware to connect PostgreSQL to Web forms ?
Date: 24 May 1999 19:29:39 GMT
In the Microsoft world, folks who want to put a baseball card
collection or a shopping cart on the Web are told not to write
code, but to use a template connector to generate the Web forms
and "middleware" integrity logic that goes between the
CGI or ODBC driver and the SQL server.
In the Linux world, it's a little harder to find things.
Everywhere I've looked for a middleware package, I find a
tutorial on how to roll the logic from scratch in C or Perl.
Am I looking in the wrong places?
Is there a package someplace that will read a high level template
and write the form processor that talks to the database engine?
I'll write the perl if I have to but it seems to me this problem
has probably been solved by a professional programmer.
Specific pointers would be appreciated. Saying "just get connector"
really doesn't help someone who does not already know what "connector"
is, who wrote it, etc. Many Linux applications have names
that are common dictionary words, and they cannot be found
by name alone using search engines.
TIA

Hi,
I have just configured a new kernel 2.2.5 and trimed it down,
but when I compiled it came with the following error:
drivers/char/char.a(msp3400.o) In function 'msp3400c_init'
msp3400.o(text0x1b02): undefined reference to 'register_sound_mixer'
I configured the kernel to use SB64 as module and included 32AWE as module
also. Can anyone give me a hint as to what is wrong. Before I changed the
kernel
the card was configured in the same way, all I did was to take out all other
cards and
some things in the next section(low level sound something).

Subject: NT SCRIPT TO MAP DRIVES FROM TEXT FILE
Date: Tue, 25 May 1999 13:31:38 GMT
I am trying to use a text file with a lisr of
workstations listed on it to feed a loop that will
map to a workstation and do a routine then
disconnect from it and do the next. The net use
command is giving me trouble. I cannot seem to
use the < IOredirect as the input. Has anyone
used a < command in a loop to run a process.
Could anyone send me some code or examples.
Thanks

I don't know what file is relevant for allowing this, but...
Allowing a root telnet is a big security risk. If you really need
such function, you have to search for 'ssh' package, which is
recommended for doing this...
