Looks like your program contails some dynamic memory error. E.g.
double-free()-ing some code, free()-ing something that is not
malloc()-ed, or accessing larger memory parts that were malloc()-ed.
These errors are known to be hard-to-find.
Try some malloc-debugging tool, e.g. electric-fence.

Have a look at "MIME Types" in your configuration
panel. It enables to define what programs you want
to associate with what file types.

Linux caches its writes. The copy from floppy may not be complete unless
you wait after step 3. Also, the programme may try to write to the floppy
to update the time stamp (indicating the last time the file on the floppy
was accessed) (if you interrupt it while it is writing to the fat
sector(s) on the floppy, it will probably not just be a bad time stamp)
and if you interrupt while it is writing to the floppy the record on the
floppy may be faulty.
After step 3 you can wait.
After step 3 you can force a buffer write using "sync"
Mounting the floppy as read only (which was another suggestion) should
prevent the system from trying to update the floppy record (if you are
copying from the floppy instead of to it and as long as the file is
completely read into memory it can later write to the hard disk).
On a system which caches writes you cannot just give a write command and
remove the media (and copying from a read/write floppy may involve a write
command to update the last access time). You have to ensure that the
command is finished.
A dirty buffer message indicates an incomplete result.

If floppy is FAT or VFAT (DOS or Windows) formatted, you should look at
the man page for mtools.
mcopy a:some-file /some/place
No mount/unmount needed.
mcopy
mdel
mdir

Subject: Linux dedicated UT server vs. Win32 dedicated server ?
Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2000 15:21:35 +0200
Reply-To: "Frank Hofmann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hello
I have a UT dedicated linuxserver at home. The hardware is not the fastest,
but it works good for me and my friends. We can play with 2 human players
and 4 bots. The server is a P133, 64 MB EDO Ram on an Iwill P54TS Board with
an 3c900B XT 10/100 Networking Card. Do not laugh about the fast CPU :-)
Ok, I would known if a NT Server configured on the same machine with a Win32
UT dedicated server is as fast as the linux server who is installed at the
moment. Who needs more system memory. The NT or the Linuxserver ? Who has
the better networkingperformance ( low pings, little lag ..)
is it advisable to change from linux to NT or is it better to leave the
system as it is ?
Thanks in advance

hi all,
My pc runs Redhat6.0 and Win98. It has no plug and play sound card, but
a Sound Max Integrated Digital Audio contraller by Anolog Devices Inc,
which is built onto the mother board. The sound is brilliant on win98.
However, under Redhat6.0, the controller can not be detected by
`sndconfig', and also it's not on the card list; so I have to edit the

Rrrright.
Besides that, Al Gore's ideas are pretty much meaningless outside
of the US. Since the poster was from hungary, I doubt that the
internals of the US presidential hogwash are of much interest to
him.
Sidenote: No, I don't see any need for a right to Internet access

(==Usenet readers and Internet users) are able to access it
doesn't mean that it's universally available. "We" do just cover
the "elite" few, compared with the rest of the world (remember that
the world's population is est. 6 000 000 000 000 people. Only those
of us lucky enough to be born in a country with appropriate resources
and money can make use of this.

I am using a samba mount to access a directory

directory is shared first and then mounted on the
Linux Box using the command :

the message i get in the /var/log/messages when
the mount fails is :

kernal:smb_retry:new pid=1167, generation=1
The above two messages are repeated several times
and when i try to "ls" the mounted directory i
get "input/output error"
This problem is persisting and everytime i need
to remount it back.Can some please help and tell

I don't remember acroread specifically having that problem, but
it's not uncommon for X apps to fail at 24bpp. WP8 and
Netscape both had problems at 24. They all seem to work fine
at 8, 16, and 23 bpp.

[Disclaimer: I work for Comtrol.]
Comtrol sells Ethernet attached, multi-port serial boxes that
can be shared by multiple hosts. They come in 2, 4 and 8 port
models with software-selectable RS-232/485/422 interfaces.
Drivers are available for Linux and the usual selection of
Windows "OSes".
The linux driver supports up to four boxes (though you could
make it support more if you wanted -- it's Linux: you get
source.)
The marketing droids tell me these boxes are quite popular in
machine shops for the exact application you are describing.

You could throw it into windows to see if it recognizes it, then take the name
it came up with and start your search from there. Linux might already support
it, too. If it doesn't auto detect and you have a day to waste you could try
all the modules and all of their settings. I know it doesn't help you write
the driver but you said you want the experience, and this would at least
identify the card for you so you'd have a place to start looking for specs.
What's more, is if you find that a linux module supports the card, you can
always look to its source code for help when you in a jam!
