Interesting question but you are out of luck. Unfortunately, for CD-ROM
and CD-R(W) compatibility, you can't. This is the same reason that you
can't make a FAT filesystem for a CD or an NTFS...
You can do long filenames by using Joliet extensions (windows) or
Rockridge extensions (unix) which enhance the 9660 standard, but regular
filesystems are out. Sorry.

modprobe vfat

mount -t vfat /dev/hda? /mnt/?

If the first didn't work, is because the modules was not compiled and
install.
If this work, you have 2 choice, you can recompile the kernel ( i think you
are a newbie, so don't do this just for that ) or simply add modprobe vfat
in the file
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
( put it after #!/bin/sh )
To edit the file use the tool you want. because you are a newbie, use joe
very easy ) as root
joe /etc/rc.d/rc.local
go at the second line write the modprobe line
do ctrl+k, x
the file have been change.
At the next startup, you don't have to modprobe.

Hi. I'm trying to install both RH6.2 and Mandrake 7.1
on a Acer Altos Uno with Seagate ST 34520w disk.
The SCSI hard disk is BRAND NEW but the host sort of
old.. The disk happens to get perfectly recognized
under MS-DOS (haven't yet tried any ver of Windoze).
Some people have suggested it's a problem with the
cable but haven't replaced it since it's brand new
and I want to discard any other possible causes..
The problem is installation hangs and secundary

parity errors.
The error message I get is almost the same in
both cases:

I'm running Suse 6.3 and I have several devices marked as user mount in fstab;
my floppy drive, zip drive, and cdrom. However, whenever I try to mount these
devices as anything other than root I get a message saying that only root may
use mount. All the docs seem to suggest that this is not the case, and that
I should be able to mount those things appropriate marked in fstab. How can
I fix this so that I can mount floppy/zip/cdroms without being root?

Note, not every system has an eth0, or even the main connection to the internet
being eth0. Assuming the person setting up the system has at least a small
clue, the usual way to get the IP address is to call gethostname, and assuming
that doesn't return localhost.localdomain or an error, call gethostbyname to
resolve the hostname into one or more IP addresses. Skip any addresses in the
local IP range (ie, 127.x.x.x, 10.x.x.x, etc.).

AGP is the new specification for speeding transfers to the video card (think of
local-bus video on the older ISA bus for this reference). Actually, it's still using a
PCI controller card for the IO ( check /proc/pci to see how this looks to the
software). IOW - AGP is still a PCI device, it just uses a slightly different IO
scheme to speed up the video functions.

Personally, since you have 2 of the same cards, I would leave them both sharing the
same IRQ since you're using the same driver for both cards. Since the same driver
(loaded once in memory) is doing the checking, it's quicker for the 1 driver to check
which device caused the interrupt that trying to switch between different drivers for
the same interrupt.

<snip>
You're confusing physical access to the disks on which the
partitions lie with logical access by way of the operating
system. There's no difference in kind between using Windows
to read a harddisk with linux ext2 partitions or a floppy
with an ext2 filesystem. I could read such a floppy with a
10-year-old 386 machine and DEBUG running under DOS 3.1.
Does that really make the OS that put the data on that
floppy insecure?
Unless you have some scheme that would prevent computers
from reading any disk not formatted and written by that
particular computer, mere physical access is sufficient to
allow anyone with a knowledge of the disk's interface and
firmware to read all data stored on it. And even if such a
scheme existed, it would be problematic: how would you
recover data from a disk if the processor(s) on the
computer that wrote it overheated and became inoperable?

In this case, we had an ioctl() on a socket. Tell me, which driver
does execute this ioctl?
It is processed in the socket subsystem, not in any driver. And calles
like this are found in many other UNIXes. It definitely is not a Linux
invention.
Even ioctl()s, that are implemented at driver level often are
portable. Lokk at all the stuff in termio.h/termios.h.

Subject: swap partition deleted, what now ?
Date: 8 May 2000 18:06:44 GMT
While installing a second OS to my hard disk I thought "Oh,
there is a free extended partition with id 5 - I don't have DOS,
so what." - and scratched it, i.e., overwrote it with the
second OS I wanted to install on that machine (FreeBSD).
Now, when booting Linux (Redhat 6.1), I get an error when Linux
tries to configure the swap device /dev/hda5. (Although
it seems that Linux 'repairs' this deficiency later by adding some
default swap).
I tried to run fdisk from Linux, gave that partition it's ID 5 back
but this didn't seem to work.
How can I repair this?

I don't think you looked at the KDE help too closely, then.
There should be a folder called "Templates" visible on the desktop. Drag
the "Application" template from that folder to the desktop and choose
"copy". Then right-click on the new template on your desktop, and you can
choose which application gets run when you click on the icon, and which
icon is displayed on the desktop through a couple of relatively easy-to-
understand menus.

I presume you mean that that wasn't enough. Do mkswap <device>;

The program ifconfig seems to be able to enumerate network devices,
including the pppn devices. It also reports the IP address of such
devices. I don't know how portable the ifconfig code is, but it seems
to me that if the documentation doesn't tell you how to do it, and
nobody seems to want to tell you how to do it, then the ifconfig
source would be the place to look.
I can see some value in wanting to bind a server to a particular
interface and IP on a multi-homed system.

Leonard,
Sorry if this comes a little late, but I only now noticed your post. You
don't need a patch to do this. I followed Wayne Rattz' instructions
which are found at: http://www.geocities.com/wrattz/linux1.html (second
page on the howtos). In short you give the i/o address of the controller
card at the boot prompt when you install linux, and then add a line to
lilo (append =i /o address of your controller card) so that lilo can
find the controller card on boot up.
Regards,
Kirk

Ok thanks, I'll try that in a couple of days.. It's not available at the
moment.
By the way, I tried this on two partitions with the same size, but got
an error:
[root@hoth /root]# dd if=/dev/hdb5 of=/dev/hdb6
dd: /dev/hdb6: Input/output error
41+0 records in
40+0 records out
Why does'nt this work?
