Hi,
I am ruuning windows NT 4.0 and Linux (Redhat 5.2) in a dual boot mode.
I want to use my NT partitions (NTFS) from Linux. I tried using mount
but it seems to support only FAT and VFAT. Any solutions....
Deepak.

It sounds like you may have an address or IRQ conflict. Do you have any
PnP cards in the system? If so are they being set up with the same
values as before the upgrade?

I've been trying for weeks to configure my system to use a SVGA server but
for some reason everytime I use it everything on the screen becomes very
large.
If anyone had a similar problem or just knows what I am doing wrong I'll
be really happy to know. I've been through the XF86Config file a million
times and I just don't know what else I can try.
thanks in advance,
Greg

Hi,
you can read and write from NTFS partions but you have to be very carefully.
First you have to recompile your kernel with NTFS read OR read and write
ability. Writing onto NTFS partions is experimental. Everytime I tried to write
somethig via a ftp client my Linux crashed.

Hi, all
I installed RedHat 6.0 and I have a ppp problem.
It doesn't recognize modem and I checked /var/log/messages then
it says:
Can't open options file
/root/.ppprc: Function not implemented
Minicom works and ppp worked with Redhat 5.0.
Could somebody tell me what I should?
Thanks

I think it would be nice if it did (beyond the system beep which it
does). To have network transparent sound as an extension to X would
mean not having to play with things like rplay and esound. It would
also mean that bandwidth goes through the floor but oh well.

First of all, don't use -9, use -1 instead. Signal 9 cannot be caught
by a program, the program is blindly killed by the OS. In order for
the ppp daemon to clean up behind itself, it needs to be sent a signal
other than 9 which will tell it it needs to exit. Signal 1 (SIGHUP) is
the standard way to do that. If you do it with -1, then, pppd will terminate
its session, shut down and close the port, close (and delte if necessary)
any files it has open.

Subject: libc.so and libns.so not found
Date: Mon, 21 Jun 1999 09:19:28 +0100
I've been happily using OpenLinux for a few months now but the other day
instead of all my usual thesis-writing applications opening as they do
(emacs, xfig etc) they tell me that they can't find the following:
libc.so.6
libph.so
libns1.so
This struck me as very strange (obviously) and on further inspection of
the CD I found no reference to libns1 at all. Also libc.so.6 doesn't
exist yet, it's still at 5.4 so why are my apps suddenly looking for a
newer version? I had installed no new software and have done nothin to
my X-resources or the kernel...
Any advice?
Thanks in advance
Duncan

So that was the point (and not recompiling the kernel, as I thought).
Thank you very much for this information.

If it is the offline features of Netscape you are after then I am afraid
you are out of luck. Unix versions of NS do not have that capability.

Hi Cameron
This cure certainly fixed my problem but could you elaborate on the
cures? I don't have the option of getting a different HD so I have
been copying the file around until I get it on an area <1024 - the
best way I have found so far is to
cd /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot
cp bzImage /tmp
then
ln -f /tmp/bzImage .
This works every time but it is quite long-winded - is there a better
way? Would it be possible to create a division that was inside the
1024 cylinder and use that for boot images?
TIA

I believe the 820 is a Windows printer, which is not supported by the usual

Sorry, make that /var/lock . Typo.

No. This will cause all sorts of problems withg other programs
accessing the serial ports.

[...]
Not if you manually killed the process creating the lockfile. This
will cause a stale lockfile hanging aroung in /var/lock, and
result in "modem is locked" whenever a program (pppd) tries to
open the port later. pppd will not remove a stale lockfile
it didn't create.
