Sometime after that, there was a video card that was coded to blow

I'm getting comfused over the way the OS +
Apache use the resolv.conf file.
I've used the linuxconfig utility for this and i'd like to stop using
it at this point. What conf files for the OS need to be edited?
I can get the web server running but when I request a page from
Netscape, it claims it's "busy". The web server claims it needs a
SERVERNAME to work. I gave it that in the httpd.conf (contrary to what
the apache doc said)
All I want is to run the web server as stand-alone. should this be
blank?

Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 10:37:27 +0100
I have read the Diskless HOWTO and the man pages on BOOTPD and TFTPD.
I understand that the client sends it ethernet address out on a broadcast
packet that a server will respond to (if it can) by replying with the nodes
assigned IP (or DHCP gets involved I am worried about fixed IP right now).
BOOTP config file has the file name etc. I know that BOOTP uses tftp, but
does bootp invoke tftp to push the kernel to the client or does the bootp
client, on the node, invoke the tftp client on the node after the node
receives its IP and the servers IP from the reply?
In short:
Which system initiates the file transfer using tftp, server or client?
Does bootp invoke tftp directly? If not, how is it done?

No, I don't recall seeing any such thing on the installation options.
But I sent Patrick mail after trying a snapshot, and he did put PL/IP in

Subject: RH6 & Xircom PCMCIA eth. help!
It's the strangest thing. I'm hoping someone out there has run into
this before and found a way to make it work...
I've installed RH6.0 fresh on my laptop. It is a little flaky on
detecting the Xircom IIps ethernet PCMCIA card, but even when it does
detect it properly, it still can't complete a connection to this
network. I and the sysadmin of the network have been working on it
together and can't figure it out. Here's the situation:
The network runs dhcp. I go into Enlightenment and then GNOME-Linuxconf
and Basic Host Information. I set the hostname to jabby.cs.ua.edu and
then go to adapter 1. I can set it up as dhcp and enter a hostname and
domain and put it on eth0. I accept the changes and it updates the
ifcfg-eth0 file. I restart the network and while there is traffic
coming to the card, it can't assign IP information. I go back into
Basic Host information and the hostname and domain under adapter 1 are
gone. That is consistent.
So, since dhcp isn't working, we try it manually: We setup default
gateway, static IP (valid and ok w/ sysadmin), eth0, netmask all
correctly... Now we restart the network. There's no complaint about
the IP address and there's traffic on the line again, but we can't even
ping the gateway! Am I missing some critical driver that is necessary?
My card is in the /etc/pcmcia/config database and it is (usually)
detected just fine.
Please help!
TIA

The reason for my suggestion of using rbash is that rbash is an effective

I am not sure if there would be much or any advantage to doing this though.

Well, he's half right. I have been looking into creating the
cross-compiler myself since no one seems to have anything useful to say
about this subject. Basically what needs to happen is that you need to
compile gcc/g++ on an NT machine, but tell it that the target OS is
linux. But, as I mention below, creating a cross compiler seems to be
quite a significant task, and the instructions for doing so are cryptic
at best.
I have tried doing this twice, once with the normal gnu distribution
source, and once with Cygnus' source. Both compilations fail for
various reasons. I don't suppose anyone else out there has some
experience creating a cross-compiler using either of these two
methods and would be willing to help (or at least offer me some advice)?
Thanks,

Not all Creative cards are a snap.
Like my SoundBlaster Live! is a nightmare to setup. the ISA cards are
fine.
a guy in my LUG sent me this which may be appropriate here:
ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture folks) have called for a boycott
of Creative Labs. Specifically they are refusing to release any code and
only binary drivers that are 'flaky'. Since the drivers are not included
in the kernel they will never be officially supported. (Unless Creative
releases the programming specs like they originally agreed to.)
Trident now has an employee on staff to develope linux drivers for their
sound devices. All the code is then donated to ALSA under the GPL. I
recently picked up one of their 4DWave cards and have been impressed
(low cost too).

Sorry. I didn't mean that personally. It's just a matter of fact that
people tend to install a machine and hook it up to the network

Linux is much more widespread that other UN*X variants, especially as far

Date: Thu, 17 Jun 1999 09:41:26 -0500
Ok, so I gave up my old pc that had a nice Soundblaster compatible ISA sound
card in it that just plain worked when I setup Linux. Now I have a new
whiz-bang fast system, with just about PCI everything, including a PnP
Trident-Based 4DWave Sound card.
I seem to be having problems loading the sb module, where I continually get
a dsp reset error while loading the module. So far the only advise I have
gotten is to disable PnP OS in the BIOS, which I confirmed I had already
done.
So now, my guess is that I have an IRQ conflict somewhere. I guess what I'm
asking is if there is a way in to mess with IRQs and Addresses for PCI PnP
cards, like there is for ISA cards? Obviously I have setserial for my COM
ports, but I haven't come across anything for other cards, etc.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give. It's much appreciated.

You need to tell the mail service (sendmail?) that it answers for both

set the sendmail configuration file "sendmail.cw" (or whichever file is

I'm no sendmail expert, but we just had a similar error (different
situation) but we resolved it by adding a file in /etc/mail/ called
relay-domains and adding the domains that are allowed to relay mail
throught the mail host. So I guess in your case you could try adding both
a.com and b.com to the file on separate lines and restart sendmail and see
if that works.
Good luck.

Good eve, everyone!
Bad news? The manual says "Logitech Mouse Man - the Mouse that Scrolls in
Windows 95" - but does it scroll in Linux, too? So far I haven't figured out
the correct settings - if there are any - to assign any function to the
wheel. Does anyone use a wheel mouse and has ten minutes to tell a newbie
what to do?
Thanx,

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am considering to buy many Linux distros to choose the one that best
fits me, wondering if anyone knows of a complete list of Linux distros
and their libc versions? which libc does the following Linux distros
use?:
Red Hat 6.0
Debian 2.1
Linux Pro 5.4
Mandrake 6.0
Caldera 2.2
Slackvare 4.0
SuSE 6.1
TurboLinux 3.0.1
Any information greatly appreciated,
Tom Alsberg (Yes, Zoopee)
