Hi
I thought there is no need to insult someone's intelligent because they
don't understand the revolution are coming.
If we all smart as Bill Gates, he wouldn't be as rich as tody. Just
because he noticed PC will have feuture before IBM did. So we got
windows today. He has missed the Internet, same as those people don't
understand Open Source.
Open source doesn't mean cheap, it mean the information age have gone
into new stage. Company can't keep up the speed of changing will be
elminate from the race. Tell me when we can see Windows NT come out
without bugs, or those bugs will be fixed in time. Don't forget the
Melissa virus!
With Open source, People will found hole and aslo will bring the fixes,
just simple as it.

Do you have a file named something like /usr/lib/libvga.so.1?

Did you inadvertently install a libc5 gs executable on a libc6

If you read the supplied URL above, you'll learn that microsoft doesn't have
to cheat, to give a better performance than linux on an SMP box.
Personally, I'd like to see the results on the same machine, when
linux is swapped out for solaris.

I have a Diamond SupraExpress 56i (not "PRO"). It is definately not a
winmodem. It is plug-n-play, though, and is probably being given wierd
I/O addresses.
Option 1: I ended up disabling my computer's on-board serial port two so
that the modem would be assigned those values. This only works because
my PC is plug-and-play, and the card is configured correctly on boot up.
Luckily I had a ps/2 mouse, and could live without com2.
Option 2: When I had a 486 I had to boot to DOS, use some pnp
configuration tools that would set my device (sound blaster), and then
use loadlin.exe to load my kernel and boot to linux.
Option 3: Read up on the pnp configuration tools for linux.
Good luck,
Fred

This stupid assed argument comes up every time. And it always comes up when
the speaker has run out of real arguments.
The second amendment was written to insure that the citizens of this country
were armed well enough to repel an invasion using whatever weapons were
required to repel same. The PEOPLE are still the militia of this country,
and that right extends to whatever weapons are necessary to match the
adversary.
Like it or not the second was written to include ALL weapons. And like it or
not there exist today privately owned tanks, cannons, and machine guns, they
only require licensing to acquire.
If you haven't studied the Constitution along with the Federal papers, then
you won't know these things, but the founders made it quite clear BEFORE the
constitution was ever ratified, they meant the citizens of this country to
be well armed.
The NRA has nothing to do with any of this, it's just idiots that bring
them up in arguments, trying to make some kind of stupid point that isn't
part of any Constitutional discussion.
All the NRA is, is an organization that tries to protect that one right.
Period.

Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 20:55:29 GMT
OK, Let's see.
You set up your PPP config.
You run your script/push connect on your GUI/whatever.
Your modem dials.
Nothing happens.
Question: Do you hear the modem make connection?
If you do not, there is a problem with your
access number/modem/phone line. Check your access number with your ISP,
try to connect to a different number that has a modem on the otehr side
( you can use minicom to do that ), test your modem.
If you do, there is a problem with your PPPD config. Add these to
your /etc/ppp/options
debug
kdebug 3
start your PPP connection, after it dies look through /var/log/messages
and try to figure out what goes wrong. If you are still in trouble post
resulting pppd messages to this group ( or alt.os.linux where I read
news more frequently ) and we (linux community) will figure it out.

Yep, take a look at the non-existant protections in some places in
Europe for the press (free speech.) Without the freedom in the US,
there would be almost no freedom elsewhere. US acts as a competitive
force to resist oppressive gov't. Unhappily, the US is also loosing
freedom, slowly.

give me one good reason why i would need to or even want to carry a gun
or guns in my possession, be it in my house, truck/car, or on my body?
And hunting isnt a good reason b/c u dont need to go hunting either so
therefore that isnt a need/want to own a gun.
I especially dont have a use for a machine gun either. Only reason to
justify why some people say they need guns is to protect them from the
criminals who have a gun. Well, if we started cracking down on the
black market and also on the legality of having guns in your house maybe
it would hinder the ability of a criminal from getting a gun and
therefore we wouldn't need to protect ourselves from them.

Subject: networking setup question...hopefully a snap for the experienced.
Date: Tue, 15 Jun 1999 18:20:08 -0400
Posting to "misc;" got no replies from the "setup" group...
Hi all. I've installed the latest RedHat 6.0 on a fresh system. I
setup TCPIP as I've done during other installations but this time it
didn't work. I'm not too familiar with all the files involved, etc,
other than what I've looked at as the result of reading RedHat unleashed
in an attempt to fix this problem.
Any clues would be helpful. What I have is a P90 with an SMC card, not
sure what model but its got a copyright 1994 on it. Linux found it as a
tulip. Now, I have the card connected to a switch; other systems
plugged into this switch are working fine WRT networking. The light for
the port into which my linux system is plugged does not flash at boot
even though lsmod does indicate tulip as 'loaded (unused)'. However if
I manually do a 'rmmod tulip' and then a 'insmod' tulip, the light on
the switch begins to show activity (but I can't ping out still and get
"network unreachable" scrolling up my screen . Then if I
'/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S10network reload', the switch light goes out again.
BTW - for the purposes of getting this thing up just to know all works,
I'm using the exact TCPIP configuration parameters as another (NT)
machine plugged into the switch (and I have turned the original machine
off), so I'm pretty sure these aren't the problem.
I mean, my guess is that some net.conf script is failing somewhere and
somehow alerts tulip mod making it inactive (I mean, it does seem to get
loaded but the switch light shows no activity unless I unload and reload
the module as described). I'll leave my analysis at that and hope
somebody can decipher what I'm saying. Even ideas on how to
troubleshoot the problem would be helpful.
I will try to check in but e-mail would be really appreciated when
possible.
TIA!!

Hi Gabriele,
the only explanation for your problem I have is that win95 doesn't like
the FAT-partition as the second _primary_ partition (/dev/hdc2) on the
second disk. You can delete this partition with DOS-fdisk and create
an extended partition. Then you could create at least one logical drive
which would hopefully become to drive D: under win95.

Caldera seems a little behind Red Hat. They were only at the 5.0
level instead of 5.1, and they were not able to get it configured for
individual use. There was a sheet of last-minute instructions in the
box that told how to complete the install of Star Office. You should
also check out the Caldera Web Page for even more current information.

If KDE is configured to your liking, you should stay at runlevel 5.
The login box will allow you the option to shutdown (with or without a
reboot). This has worked fine for me.
When in runlevel 5, you have one graphics screen on virtual terminal
number 7 or 8, and text mode screens on terminals 1 thru 6 (or maybe
5). One of these is the login shell that is running the graphics
screen, and not normally available to you, but you can use the others.
>From the graphics screen, press Ctrl-Alt-Fn (with n replaced by 1, 2,
... 12) to see what you have. The high number function keys just show
a blank screen, but the low ones should all show something. To move
from a text screen, Alt-Fn switches to a different virtual terminal.
If you really have gone to runlevel 3, you may not see anything
because the system failed to switch to an active virtual terminal.
The different options from the KDE login screen do not seem to be
documented. I use it because I always start a KDE session, and always
end with a shutdown or reboot.
