I seem to recall reading somewhere a few months or more ago, the
location on the SuSe CDs of a patch file or something which has all the
modifications and extensions that SuSe makes to the stock Linux kernel.
Does anyone know where on the CDs that might be?
I think they modify the stock kernel code to do stuff like enable LVM
and ReiserFS and make other small fixes.
I've searched all over SuSe's site, Slashdot and Deja to no avail.
Thanks!

Still haven't seen a URL posted about this.
I didn't see a URL posted about Microsoft's version
of Linux, which was 'FUD of the month' last autumn..
Not that I wouldnh't put it past them.
Sun are very cautious around M$; when the Swing (Java 1.2 GUI) toolkit
shipped with a Redmond-esque theme, it came with a warning that you
weren't alllowed to use that look-n-feel on any platform other than
Windoze. M$ never disallowed it, Sun were just very paranoid.
Can't say I blame them, that was when M$ were gunning for Java in a big way.
And any software company that is basically a legal team
with a handful of coders tacked on as an afterthough must make any big
company nervous.
Mind you , M$ lost *that* war, too :)

Have a look in the current directory. The binary that has been compiled
lives under the name a.out. Try ./a.out and the world will see hello.

I've been running software raid since 2.2.6 or so, but I never tried
the RAID stuff in mke2fs (don't believe it was there). So to isolate the
problem to RAID code or e2fs code, you might try leaving the -R out and
see if it suddenly works.
Actually, I never ran with a spare, either, I just replace a failed
drive and "hotadd" the drive back in, so you are in some uncharted water
there, as far as I can help.

Subject: Mount Floppy On Access??
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2000 18:54:29 GMT
Hello, I would like to have the floppy drive on my
Linux machine be mounted whenever someone tries to
access it. I have no problem mounting it by
command line and being able to use it, however the
people who are using this machine only have access
to a web browser and not the command line (it is a
public kiosk). Even if they did have access, it
would be fair to assume that they wouldn't know
how to mount a file system. From the man pages and
browsinf news groups, I can't figure out how to do
this, or ven if it is possible. If I try to mount
it on startup, it, of course, complains because
ther is no floopy disk in the drive. Is there a
way to do this that I am missing?

Just to make sure nobody gets confused:
there will NOT be any file named "a.out" - the executable will be "hello" and
if you follow Eric's suggestion of trying "./hello" it should work.

Hello!
I'm trying to configure a dot matrix printer on a RH6.1 machine from the
text UI (no GUI installed). My printcap's OK, my parallel port is working
(tried from DOS) but Linux gives me a "lpr: connect: Connection refused"
message...
I heard somewhere I could insmod the parallel port... is this a usual
practice or should I look elsewhere?
Thanks!

Well, I did a quite easy install of KDE2 and a just as easy un-install of
KDE2. My method was apt-get install task-kde I believe :) I don't recall
any missing libraries or having to manually remove things since if I
remember arightly, apt took care of those things for me. On a SuSE 7 system
I play with, I left kde1.1.2 on it and rpm'ed kde2 in. I did not do a force
on anything. I did download the kde2 rpms from suse's website.

So the drive effectively is there and does

That's irrelevant. It means that the kernel wanted to
setup a NIC and failed due to its absence.

That's a SCSI card - which you probably don't have, either.

[...]
Which is correct, as you
a) can't mount /dev/hda - that's not a partition, and
b) don't have an /etc/fstab file - now - that the mount command
could query for details.
Try again with
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda1 /mnt
and check for possible problems.
If it's an oldish 486, it's possible that the MB battery which is
used to store the HW details failed, and therefor all the settings
were lost.

I found out on the developers section at KDE, that I
needed to install openssl. After I did this everything
worked and I now use KDE 2.0 instead of GNOME.

Thanks for the idea --
I went in to the BIOS and set it to use the
autoconfiguration with power-on defaults;
later set it to use the autoconfiguration
with bios defaults;
both resulted in the same DRIVE NOT READY
ERROR (it asks for the floppy again).
then having little to lose I entered the
BIOS hard disk utility and had it do a
media analysis and later a hard drive format
(there was no data on there except a little
bit of DOS). During the format, it ran
through all the cylinder numbers pretending
to format something, but there were no
sounds from the hard drive. I can only
conclude it's not communicating with the
hard drive at all, but how the hd managed to
fail without any warning (it worked fine
before, no weird behavior) I don't understand.
I also tried entering the hd parameters
into the BIOS manually, but that doesn't
change anything.
thanks for the suggestion, anybody else is
welcome to put in their two cents as well.

hi!
i want to use the hardware 3d acceleration of my creative
3d blaster
banshee PCI video card while using mandrake7.2 with the new
xfree86 4.0.
when i used the old xfree3.3.4 i had to use the right
xserver together
with the 3dfx.o kernel module to use the 3d acceleration of
my banshee.
how can i reach this with xfree86 4.0?
there is no problem when i load the 3dfx module with
"insmod 3dfx" but
there is no 3d acceleration, too.
i read that i have to load the tdfx module but it is not
possible on my
system:
insmod tdfx
Using /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/tdfx.o
/lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/misc/tdfx.o: unresolved symbol
agp_enable_R50eb8453
then i tried to load the agpgart module first. that could
not be (and
was not) successful because i do not have AGP!
insmod agpgart

If you can ping other hosts on the LAN then your net card driver is working
properly. You need to get your default route set properly. Could you post
the output of "netstat -rn" and "ifconfig". Does your lan use dhcp?
