Just a question.
Could we add or remove dynamically IDE HD as scsi by the /proc interface
?
echo "scsi remove-single-device 0 0 5 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 5 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi

Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2000 14:19:23 GMT
I really, really need help. The CDROM in my notebook computer is busted.
I am now using an external CDROM with a parallel port interface to
install Linux. I'd like to switch to a PCMCIA CDROM. There is one made
by Vintech in a store near us. Do PCMCIA CDROMs made by Vintech Linux
compatible? I don't see the Vintech models in the supported cards of
Linux's PCMCIA support. I am hoping that the Vintech CDROMs are actually
the same with one of those listed as supported by Linux. Vintech's web
site is http://www.vintech-tw.com

JAVA isn't slow. JAVA apps. running on modern JDKs (like 1.3) can be as
fast as normal C++ code - and some code even runs faster as in C++.
JAVA-based (Multithreaded) MPEG 2 encoder/decoder comes in mind...

Hi,
I am a beginner on learning Linux. In my PC, I've already installed
Win98. Now I also want to install linux in order to dual-boot between
2 os. But every time when i am going on the last stage of installation--
----"Lilo setup", whatever i do , Lilo can't be installed.
If i choose to use SCSI device, it looks like being ok. But when the
computer reboots, i can only see many blinking lines on my screen,
which means i can neither work on win98, nor Linux.
If i choose not to use SCSI device, Lilo can't be installed and SETUP
can't be finished.
Because there are some bad sectors on my hard-disk, i wonder whether
Lilo is just going to be installed on those bad sectors, which leads
the problem i get stuck in.
There is anyone to help me to point out the reason and a way to solve
this problem.
(There is no any SCSI device on my computer.)
Thanks!

GNOME is pretty close (last time I checked, we had bindings for C,
C++, Objective C, Perl, Python, Ruby, Dylan, Haskell, Guile etc., and
that is GNOME bindings, not just GTK bindings).

*Especially* for GUIs it's an issue. There's hand-optimised assembler
code in GNOME (in gdkpixbuf, to be exact), and it's there for a
reason.

I've just installed the CUPS printing software on my Mandrake 7.0 system.
I have an HP 842c printer, and I installed the HP deskjet driver included
in the CUPS package (cups-1.1.4-linux-2.2.14-intel.rpm). I've used the
web-based configuration tool, and selected the color option. Everything's
fine at 300 dpi, but when I set resolution to 300 dpi output is greyscale
rather than color. Are there other/better drivers that provide
high-resolution, color output?
Thanks,

Funny how MS doesn't want to sue over KDE/Qt. That particular project
accomplishes the same exact goal as GNOME, but yet I haven't heard of
companies willing to support KDE like they have GNOME.
How exactly is MS going to stop an open source project like GNOME/Gtk? This
should be interesting. What I think they'll accomplish is stopping vendors
like Sun from incorporating GNOME into their desktops.
As before, it's funny how MS should be suing over look 'n' feel. Remember
the Macintosh and the Amiga?

Yeah, since 1.2 GNOME has gotten quite usable.
So are there plans to use imlib2 in there at all?
I've not seen any definitive benchmarks, but it
seems a fair bit faster (than gdkpixbuf) to me.

Hi !
I am newbie to Linux and need a little bit help.
I succeeded to install Network card 3com905b on PC running RedHat 6.2.
Now, when Im doing telnet, the first connection is very slow (approx
10sec), but after logged in once at the remote, then telnet is doing
fine.
Also I have noticed, that PING is very strange. Something like
1 packet 0.3ms
2 packet 3990ms
3 packet 6800ms
4 packet 9500ms
etc..
^C shows 79% loss
If Im doing ping -f <host> then dot and blank are changing very fast and
after ^C I get 0% loss (10000 packets sent, all received)
Tracerout shows 2 packets
<from me> TO <gateway> 0.300ms
<gateway> TO <remotehost> 0.290ms
Is it possible that driver is not valid ? (Driver module in
/etc/conf.module is 3c59x)
Also, ifconfig for eth0 is
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:15000 Metric:1
txqueuelen=100 Interrupt:18 (In ROMBIOS setup, IRQ for that card is 10)
Base 0x1000
Any hint would help

Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2000 15:47:34 GMT
A lot of people have configured their mail servers to reject mail from
hosts known to be dynamically assigned by ISPs, believing all such mail
is spam. The solution is to either use your ISP's smtp server directly
or to configure your own mail program to use it as a relay host. Then
the spam filters will let it through. It's a pain in the ass because it
requires more internet traffic, but it's the only thing that works.

I'm trying to use a different mail program than netscape. I would like
to use a terminal based program like Pine (or another one if its
easier to set up). My problem is that my work area uses imap with
the secure shell. All the docs I read on setting up Pine or the
Imap Server don't talk about the SSH part. Netscape takes care of
it with a SSH button in the prefs. When I talk to the computer
center at work they say "use Netscape we don't support programs like
Pine". Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Have a look at the samba logs. If you run SWAT (Samba Web Admin Tool (?)),
you can configure samba very easily and see in realtime who's logged on
and what resources are being used by whoever. You can also set the
verbosity of the logs from bare to downright ugly ;-).

Can you post that URL again? There were several items that I missed.
I think that Trolltech's being a European companiy has a lot to do
with it, as well as the more public nature of GNOME's funding.
Microsoft would have to think about antitrust and intellectual
property issues before they could do anything. It's not a good
time for them, I would think.

For plain GTK+, even more. It's mayhem. But they seem to be

Gdkpixbuf was conceived before Imlib2, and its goals are a bit
different. There's a section somewhere in one of the GNOME FAQs that
details why GNOME 2.0 won't use Imlib2.

programs linked with slang tend to ignore the actual capabilities of the
terminal (that's the first place I'd check, e.g., in case you have $COLORTERM
or other such stuff in your environment).

Subject: Commanding a DirectLogic PLC from Linux (or C)
Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2000 00:13:38 -0500
I really want to buy a PLC for data monitoring and controlling external
devices. I know that there are plenty of programs for windows that control
these devices, but I wanted to know if anyone has any experience with
controlling them from linux... I would like to find a program that is
already implemented to control them, but would also be happy with a set of C
libraries that would allow me to easily write such a program... I wouldn't
mind creating such a library with the appropriate documentation about the
data needed to control the PLC..
Does anyone have any experience / information on this?
Thanks!

I'm not familiar with any for this PLC, the only one I've seen so far
has been the Allen/Bradley PLC (link on my page). If you do find one
for it please let me know and I'll add it to my pages.

depending on your bios setup (onboard controller boots first or pci
controller boots first, for the latter you need a seperate bios in your
highpoint) you need a line
boot=/dev/hda
or
boot=/dev/hde
in your lilo.conf.
> "Fatal : Not a number : "/dev/hde2"
this happens if /dev/hde doesn't exist at the time you ran lilo.
