Linux users wear clothes???
On the other and there use to be a program for the Mac called 'Moda' or
something similar. It was very high end so its not likely to be free on
Linux. I would suspect that most of the standard drawing tools would
fail to be satisfactory for anything more than a sketch.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I think this only happens if you have
Client for Microsoft Networks->properties->Logon and restore network connections
change that to quick-logon...

type this into a file called mapdrives.bat:
net use n: //server/share
net use m: //server/anothershare
A better way would be to enable domain-logons in samba, then put a similar script
to the above in the netlogon share, so all terminals get the same shares.

Subject: Need Raid-0 help - what am I missing?
Date: Sun, 15 Aug 1999 19:34:34 -0400
Trying to set up a (I thought) simple Raid0 combination.
First, I installed Redhat Linux, including raidtools, on /dev/hda
partitions.
set up /dev/hdb & /dev/hdc as follows:
>Disk /dev/hdb: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 1416 cylinders
>Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
>/dev/hdb1 1 1416 713632+ 83 Linux
>Disk /dev/hdc: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 1416 cylinders
>Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes
> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
>/dev/hdc1 1 1416 713632+ 83 Linux
I set up /etc/raidtab:
>raiddev /dev/md0
> raid-level 0
> nr-raid-disks 2
> persistent-superblock 1
> chunk-size 4
> device /dev/hdb1
> raid-disk 0
> device /dev/hdc1
> raid-disk 1
Then:
>/sbin/mkraid /dev/md0
>mke2fs /dev/md0
So far, so good.
Then, I rebooted. The raid partition was *not* autodetected.
It was not reported in /proc/mdstat.
I compiled the 2.2.11 kernel (with raid0 of course). Added the
latest raidtools, raidtools-19990724-0.90. The MD partition was
still not detected. When I tried /sbin/mkraid /dev/md0 again, I got:
>[root@ /]# /sbin/mkraid /dev/md0
>handling MD device /dev/md0
>analyzing super-block
>disk 0: /dev/hdb1, 713632kB, raid superblock at 713536kB
>/dev/hdb1 appears to contain an ext2 filesystem -- use -f to override

I tried forcing it, since the ext2 system there was of no use, and:
>handling MD device /dev/md0
>analyzing super-block
>disk 0: /dev/hdb1, 713632kB, raid superblock at 713536kB
>disk 1: /dev/hdc1, 713632kB, raid superblock at 713536kB
>mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.
/proc/mdstat says:
>Personalities : [1 linear] [2 raid0]
>read_ahead not set
>md0 : inactive
>md1 : inactive
>md2 : inactive
>md3 : inactive
and there are no messages about mkraid in the /var/log/messages.
Until I (made the mistake of?) upgrading raidtools to the newest
version and went from kernel 2.2.5 to 2.2.11, I could get a
mountable /dev/md0 only by using --force with mkraid and
destroying the data that was already there, and running mke2fs
again. Now it dies for the mystrious unreported reason as well.
Would appreciate help very much.

Well, without even looking it up, you were right on the RET...

But skimming to the back of my trusty Spectrum manual (the good ringbound

You got it slightly wrong...
The opcode for what you typed was ld a,(NN)
ld hl,(NN) is 2a

ok, I installed via-rhine as a module -- at least as far as I know how.
I ran "insmod via-rhine"
I added the line "alias eth0 via-rhine" to /et/conf.modules
I uncommented the line in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules for the via-rhine driver
I rebooted and dmesg still doesn't comment on eth0.
thanks again,

If I am not mistaken, you'll need mpu401 for ad1848, and according to
Caldera Support, Mpu port is better off to be 0x388, after changing some
IO- ports, my OPL3-sax has a significant increase in performance.
Sean, what would the kernel respond when you type "insmod opl3sa2
io=0x370 mss_io=0x530 mpu_io=0x388 irq=5 dma=0 dma2=1", IRQ may vary,
though. Post the error, would you?

Actually, a CD-ROM usually never reaches it's maximum speed. It starts in a
spiral starting from the center of the CD. In order to reach it's maximum
speed, it would have to be reading the outer (or close to) edge of the CD.
Also, when you insert a CD, the drive determines what kind of CD it is. If
it's video, it will probably play it around 2X. There is no way of lowering
the speed since the speed is dependent on the part of the CD it's reading.
Hope this helps.

There's also a LD_RUN_PATH; I've not yet understood the difference.

Gzip will unzip all the files, but tar won't untar them. RRRRGH!

Have you looked at psutils? To select the odd pages you use 'psselect -o'
and to select the even pages you use 'psselect -e'. Using the '-r' flag
will even spit out the pages in reverse order.
The disk space needed is not significantly larger than the size of the
input file.
Sometimes there's a problem with the ps file and psselect gets confused but
running the file through ghostscript with the '-sDEVICE=pswrite' sometimes
helps.
psutils are available for Linux and have been compiled for the amiga as
part of the geekgadgets set.

Well this is a Linux newsgroup, but since you ask.
Try man ps and then try to decipher the incomprehensible
command System V command options.
But Solaris does allow you to use the old ucb ps command.
If I remember correctly, it is in /usr/ucb. One convenient
set of options is
/usr/ucb/ps -uax | more

I'm another 16 year old male.
My first computer was an Acorn A4000 which didn't crash once. We never ran out of
space on the 80Mb drive and it ran pretty much fine with 2Mb of RAM. I picked up
programming with the BASIC on it which usually used line-numbered programs - no
procedural stuff. The GUI was simple and it could do pretty much everything we
needed. Then last year we got a 4Gb 200MHz 64Mb computer (You can guess what all
the numbers refer to) running Win 95. I got very fed up with the regular crashes
and tried out Linux which is now running quite happily. I'm still learning, but I'm
looking forward to the day I can use Linux 100% of the time.
