Are you having trouble with IP Masquerading???
In your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file add these lines
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp
This allows the clients to use ftp

Upgrade to kernel 2.2.x (2.2.9 is latest). This allows to share parports
between drivers.
If you don't want that, you could help yourself with: (as root)
/etc/rc.d/lpd stop (or)
/sbin/init.d/lpd stop (or whatever your distro's init scripts work)
This will terminate the printer daemon (lpd) and release the parport.
After doing whatever you wanted to do with the parport (I did not
understand what), you isuue
<same script as above, but now with> start
to bring up printing again.

I am not sure of 98, but, the version of DOS that runs Windows 95
ignores long file name information.

Actually Windows 3.1 is VERY close to Windows 9x. It provided 32 bit
memory segments, virtual memory, multitasked DOS. Windows 95 was more
like an upgrade fro 3.1. Windows 3.1 was a huge step away from 3.0.
XFree86 does not need to multitask programs because it run on operating
systems that naturally have this capability.
Remember, all versions of "Windows" (excluding NT and CE) are DOS based.
As much as MS would have you believe not, DOS device drivers and the DOS
OS (for lack of a better term) is still available while Windows is
running. Windows has augmented DOS, not replaced it.

If you look carefully at the Windows architecture, you will see all the
OS extensions are provided by a 32bit flat memory model DPMI compatible
program (The 386 Windows executive). This core provides multitasking x86
virtual machines, virtual machines, and DOS adjuncts.
Almost all versions (staring with 2.1) of 386 specific Windows have this
design. Microsoft has just added VxD drivers.

Do you have ORBit correctly installed? If the configure

be something like

Try running this command from the /usr/src/gnome-core-1.0.6/help-browser

this is the most impressively patronizing, ivory-tower, silly,

Hi Gabriele,
try to change the partion ID for the DOS-partition on the second disc
with Linux fdisk. Login as root and use the command `fdisk /dev/hdb'
(/dev/sdb for a SCSI-disc) and then type `t' for changing the ID.
After choosing the correct ID for FAT32 and a `w'(rite) you have to
reboot and to format the FAT-partition. If this doesn't help you should
show us the output from the `fdisk -l' command. You can store the
output via `fdisk -l > filename'.

Yes, looks like this was the case:

After the kernel mounts the root partition it will be able to access
the kernel modules in /lib/modules. Then it can load the ide disk
module which will allow it to mount the root partition :)

Previous posts mentioned the open source f77 compiler. Its excellent

F90 however is a very different beast (if tahts what you want). Several

Hindsight is always 20/20, you're right I should have at least backed up
anything irreplaceable. Luckilly some of the most important things (like
AI programs I've written) were backed up on other machines, but alot of it
was only on this partition.
The problem is with backing up a 10GB HD, or in my case several 10GB disks
on multiple machines is that I'd need a DAT drive for so much data, and
they start at $700 (I'm sure you know this already :) and HDD are cheaper
then the backup systems, heck for $700 I could add a whole new computer to
my home network. Even a CDR drive is almost useless for backing up a
10GB drive. My plan is to put two HDD in parallel and run a script every
night to copy modified files to the mirror, which at $150/10GB is much
cheaper than any other backup system.
Here's hoping I don't make the same mistake again.
Cheers.

Collin,
Thansk for your observations and for everyone else who assisted. I
finally got it to work. I had gotten rather used to the 2.0.36 kernel
and hadn't read up on the newer kernel. What I did was compare what I
had selected to what was in the monolithic RedHat 6.0 kernel. From
there I saw what I had selected wrong and what I had not selected.
Thanks to everyone. It's working great now and my IP Masquerading works
great too. I have five computers all accessing the Internet from just
one modem connection. Sure, it can get slow, but it works great.
