Use the ALSA drivers:

worked for me and it's free (and better); a bit hard to setup for a newbie
perhaps. Cracking is stealing; the author of a piece of software has every
right to ask money for it and you have the right to not use it.

Alert, Canada??? I've never heard of it!
However, Barrow does happen to be the northern most incorporated
city in the _world_, not just North America (and on top of that,
just saying "American" as opposed to "North America" generally
is accepted to mean the USA only).
I'm not even sure there is a genuine unincorporated city that is
farther north, if we consider only permanently inhabited
population centers. Thule Greenland and one place in Russia
might be acceptable, depending on how one wants to define it.
However, with about 5000 people, Barrow is definitely the
farthest north population center of sufficient size to clearly
be labeled a "city".

Hello,
I found out in the termcap file that a terminal answerback may be set
using the u8 or u9 field within the termcap definition file. I'm not
having too much luck getting the answerback to change, and the file
itself didn'f offer an example syntax.
Does someone out there have a termcap file that has a defined

Yes. By default the new distro's using 2.2.x kernels, support fat 16
and 32 , right out of the box. Ignore advise about recompiling your
kernel for Fat, Vfat or NTFS support. Come to think of it, as a
newbee, ignore ALL advise about recompiling your kernel until you have
a good understanding as to whether it makes any sense, at all. Most
everything you need support for has an appropriate module that can be
loaded. Performance might be slightly better doing things the old
fashion way but it doesn't sound (3.2GB HD) like your going to worry
too much about being "lean and mean", right out of the gate.
>Would I just have to mount the specific windows partition under linux?
Initially with something like mount -t /dev/hdax /win--or whatever,
then you can add the multi boot mounts in the /etc/fstab file for boot
time mounting. Note that NTFS requires root (SU) to access and the
ntfs module loaded.

With the huge HD's available these days, just install everything, then
you can see what you DO and Don't want and like about linux software.
The biggest I've seen is SuSE 6.1 with a full installation of
2.5-4.5GB's but RH, Caldera and Mandrake will do the whole shootin'
match with a 2 GB /usr partition.

Pls help,
I am using RedHat 6.0 with the kernel 2.2.5-15 installed, there is
no problem when loading the sound & midi modules when bootup~! Recently,
I
have downloaded a new kernel source (version 2.2.11). I compiled it to
make my new kernel~! During 'make xconfig', I have chosen the sound card
support as modules, OSS sound modules and have the '100% Sound Blaster
Compatibles(SB16/32/64, ESS, Jazz16) support' as modules. After all, I
get
the bzImage and start to reboot my PC. After seeing the message:
"Finding
Modules dependences", I got the messages saying:
Loading module midi
can't locate module midi [FAIL]
It's fine to load the sound moudle.
My Sound Card is Creative 16 PnP SOUND CARD
I have used 'dmesg' which show:

My experience with the proprietary OSS drivers has also led me to use rm -rf,
but only on the downloaded materials rather than the whole filesystem.
The first thing that their binary-only piece of digital trash did was promptly
lock up my kernel as soon as I opened the device. If I'm going to pay for
garbage, I might as well install Windows and use the drivers that came with the
sound card.

Thanks Brett! I was totally clueless about that. Now that I think
about it, of course, it was pretty silly to just expect NFS to work on
Windows.
I too downloaded some shareware NFS server, but that didn't help, so I
tried to do an FTP install over my little 2-PC LAN (if I can call it
that), but that didn't work either. So I said the hell with it, and am
doing an FTP install from a remote server. With ADSL it's not too
slow, and it has the advantage of actually working.
Thanks for the help!

I tried the 4Front technologies driver for my sound card. It locked up my
kernel hard so I never looked back at the crap again. That is just lousy
programming.
I wish that a hole in the ground would open up and swallow up these guys. Not
only do their drivers suck, but they are also getting in the way of free sound
development by getting into bed with manufacturers who then don't want to
release specs.

Get a rescue floppy (redhat,caldera,suse whatever you have) and use it

and edit /etc/passwd or shadow.

I have had Linux lock up with the same frequency or more than
OS/2. Just try filling up your swap partition. Many times
Netscape 4.61 locked up on the x-server, however, one nice thing
about Linux, is that "kill -9" or a a x-server reboot cures it
all. I think one reason that some people don't lock up the
x-server as much as PMShell, is that there is not as much to do
on the x-sever (I use KDE), however, when I have it fully loaded
with Java apps running, and many browser's windows open, then
there are frequent problems. I even occasionally have to
reboot.

I haven't heard anything about Solaris but that it scales better which

Dear Linux Community;
There has been a puzzling question on my mind for some time. First, I
admit i am no Linux Guru so this may be off the wall.
*Why Is linux done primarily in the C programming language rather than
C++?*
Again I admit it would take a little extra work and put a minor set
back in the evolution for a month or 2, but if C++ is so much faster,
easier, and stable- WHY NOT?
I have been a RH 6.0 user since the first week it was first released
and since then i have loved it. I am struggling with it a bit but as i
continue to learn this from an "other leading brand OS" and a full time
programmer for a large company.
There are many differences Between the two programming languages and
there are huge advantages to C++.
The downside is "linux has always been a C based Program so it will always
be."
*** BUT THEN AGAIN - ISN'T LINUX ALL ABOUT CHANGE? ***

I don't run the jdk on SuSe but on RedHat. However, on RedHat, there is a
java interpreter that is different from the one in the jdk. In other words,
your path may be looking in the wrong place for your java interpreter. Find
your jdk/bin directory and do something like:
bash-prompt# /usr/local/jdk117_v3/bin/javac ./HelloWorld.java
bash-prompt# /usr/local/jdk117_v3/bin/java ./HelloWorld
If it then works ok, then you know it was a path problem, which you can fix
in a .<whatever_shell_you_use>rc script. If not, at least I tried!
Good luck,

It is perhaps unethical, but I don't see why not. The consumers should use their
power and boycott the manufacturers that don't release hw specs. Too bad
intelligent consuming is as rare as it is.

I assume you're downloading the patch with netscape? It may actually be piping
it through gunzip, hence the .gz being removed. Try looking at the file in a
text editor. If it looks like a patch file, then it isn't compressed.
(obviously)
BTW, was it _really_ necessary to crosspost to so many groups?

RH 5.0, Kernel 2.2.1 and RPM 2.4.10, Now I try to upgrade RPM tp 3.0
version.
I use "rpm -Uvh xxxx.rpm" command to upgrade, the error message is:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by rpm-3.0.2-6.0
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by rpm-3.0.2-6.0
libdb.so.2(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by rpm-3.0.2-6.0
patch < 2.5 conflicts with rpm-3.0.2-6.0
Seems I have to upgrade GLIBC, but what does the patch<2.5 mean? I
cannot find any patch for RH 5.0 in RH FTP site.
That's why RH sucks.
Any help??!! Thanks a lot! Pls also email me.
