Did you have 2 monitors connected to your Card?
If not did you try unpluging from port 1 and plug
in to port 2? I suspect that X would show up on
the second port. (Like it does for me)

Hi,
I installed RH7.0 on my Dell4000 laptop. I am having problem to get
the modem (Xircom cardbus) working. Linux recognizes the card as shown
from "cardctl ident":

but it failed to configure the card while excuting "modprobe serial_cs"
and complains:

can anyone help me to solve this problem. I've put /var/log/messages

Subject: Ask about Samba
Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2001 03:01:34 +0800
Hi all,
I am to ask something about Samba.
Currently my office have 1 machine with Linux, acted as a
webserver and fileserver, and 4 machines with Window.
I have used window's "mapped driver" for the 4 machines
connecting Samba fileserver when users login in, it works
fine at most of time, but the weird thing is, when I come to
office at the morning., say 9am, window say "the driver(Samba)
can't be connected" something liked that, but if after I logged
into window and then access the Samba, it could be clicked into
and all the files shown but just the first click may take some
more time.
As I want to log the machine log in time by analysing the Samba
logs, so I need the Samba could be connected at any time, Could
anyone tell me where I went wrong?
Thanks a lot.

What feature of the new kernel are you interested in? Or do you just
want to go through hassle because there's something "new" out there?
RH and Mdk will probably come out with a version as soon as it's
"2.4.0", since that's how they make their money. --regardless if
it's "ready".
(I'm waiting for JFS and Logical Volume Manager to be fully implemented,
myself.)

The GNU fileutils would appear to heed the latter of two conflicting

file "bar", but "cp -f -i foo bar" would prompt before overwriting.

hello,
assume we have linux running on a server and we are connecting to it using a
terminal
emulator from a windows client to run programs, assume again that our
windows pc
is old and very flaky (freezes a lot etc. bad ram etc.) how will this affect
the data on the linux box since we are running a time sharing system and all
we are doing is connecting to the box and sending screen and keyboard
emulations, while the actual processes are being run on the linux server.
thank you,

Hello
I have SB Live on Asus A7V (VIA KT-133 chipset ) motherboard.
Red Hat 7.0 displays error "device or resource busy" every time I try to
load emu10k1 module.
I have found following answer in homepage of Creative Labs:

But I haven't found any `pci=reverse' option in lilo.conf or somewhere
else.
I don't know how to change that option.
Could you give me some advice, please ?

Subject: Parents of 15 year old find $71,000 in his closet!
Date: Fri, 05 Jan 2001 16:07:45 -0800
It Works, Its Legal, Its Easy, so Why Not?
Parents of 15-year-old find $71,000 cash hidden in his closet.
Does this headline look familiar? Of course it does.
You most likely have just seen this story recently featured on a major
nightly
news program (USA).
His mother was cleaning and putting laundry away when she came across a
large
brown paper bag that was
suspiciously buried beneath some clothes and a skateboard in the back of
her
15-year-old son's closet. Nothing
could have prepared her for the shock she got when she opened the bag
and found
it was full of cash. Five
dollar bills, twenties, fifties and hundreds - all neatly rubber-banded
in
labeled piles.
"My first thought was that he had robbed a bank", says the 41-year-old
woman,
"There was over $71,000
dollars in that bag - that's more than my husband earns in a year".
The woman immediately called her husband at the car-dealership where he
worked
to tell him what she'd
discovered. He came home right away and they drove together to the boy's
school
and picked him up. Little did
they suspect that where the money came from was more shocking than
actually
finding it in the closet.
As it turns out, the boy had been sending out via E-mail on the Internet
a type
of 'chain-letter' to E-mail
addresses that he obtained off of the Internet. Everyday after school
for the
past 2 months, he had been doing
this right on his computer in his bedroom.
"I just got the E-mail one day and I figured what the heck, I put my
name on it
like the instructions said and I
started sending it out", says the clever 15-year-old.
The E-mail letter listed 3 addresses and contained instructions to send
one $5
dollar bill to each person on the list,
then delete that address on top and move the other 2 addresses up, and
finally
to add your name to the
bottom of the list. The letter goes on to state that you would receive
several
thousand dollars in five dollar bills
within 2 weeks if you sent out the letter with your name at the bottom
of the
3-address list. "I get junk E-mail all
the time, and I really didn't think it was gonna work", the boy
continues.
Within the first few days of sending out the E-mail, the Post Office Box
that
his parents had gotten him for his
video-game magazine subscriptions began to fill up with not magazines,
but
envelopes containing $5 dollar bills.
"About a week later I rode [my bike] down to the post office and my box
had 1
magazine and about 300
envelopes stuffed in it. There was also a yellow slip that said I had to
go up
to the [post office] counter- I
thought I was in trouble or something (laughs)". He goes on, "I went up
to the
counter and they had a whole box
of more mail for me. I had to ride back home and empty out my backpack
'cause I
couldn't carry it all".
Over the next few weeks, the boy continued sending out the E-mail. "The
money
just kept coming in and I just
kept sorting it and stashing it in the closet, I barely had time for my
homework". He had also been riding his bike
to several of the area's banks and exchanging the $5 bills for twenties,
fifties and hundreds. "I didn't want the
banks to get suspicious so I kept riding to different banks with like
five
thousand at a time in my backpack. I
would usually tell the lady at the bank counter that my dad had sent me
in [to
exchange the money] and he was
outside waiting for me. One time the lady gave me a really strange look
and
told me that she wouldn't be able to
do it for me and my dad would have to come in and do it, but I just rode
to the
next bank down the street
(laughs).
" Surprisingly, the boy didn't have any reason to be afraid. The
reporting news
team examined and investigated
the so-called 'chain-letter' the boy was sending out and found that it
wasn't a
chain-letter at all. In fact, it was
completely legal according to US Postal and Lottery Laws, Title 18,
Section
1302 and 1341, or Title 18,
Section 3005 in the US code, also in the code of federal regulations,
Volume
16, Sections 255 and 436, which
state a product or service must be exchanged for money received.
Every five dollar bill that he received contained a little note that
read,
"Please add me to your mailing list". This
simple note made the letter legal because he was exchanging a service
(adding
the purchaser's name to his
mailing list) for a five dollar fee.
Here is the letter that the 15-year-old was sending out by E-mail, you
can do
the exact same thing he was doing,
simply by following the instructions in this letter.
* * * * *
Here are instructions on how to make $10,000 US cash in the next 2
weeks:
There are 3 addresses listed below.
Send each person on the list a $5 bill wrapped in 2 pieces of paper (to
securely hide it), along with a
note that says: "Please add me to your mailing list".
Then delete the name at the top, move the other 2 up and put your name
at the
bottom.
Now start sending this ENTIRE e-mail back out to people.
When 20 people receive it, those 20 people will move your name up to the
middle
position and they will each
send out 20. That totals 400 people that will receive this letter with
your
name in the middle.
Then, those 400 people will move your name up to the top and they will
each
send out 20 E-mails. That totals
8,000 people that will receive this E-mail with your name at the top and
they
will each send you a $5 bill.
8,000 people each sending you a $5 bill = $40,000 cash. That's if
everyone
responds to this E-mail, but not
everyone will, so you can expect more realistically to receive about
$10,000 in
cash ($5 bills) in your mailbox.
This will work for anyone, anywhere in the world in any country, but
send only
a US CASH $5 bill.
The more E-mails you send out, the more cash you will receive. If each
person
sends out 100 E-mails, there will
be 1,000,000 people that receive this letter when your name reaches the
top. If
only 1% of those people
respond, you will still get $50,000 cash.
* * * * *
Here is the list:
1 - T. Nolley
10823 Club Cir.
Indianapolis, IN 46229
2 - T. Gray
P.O. Box 4764
Ontairio, CA 91761
3 - T. Penney
Box 5504
Clarenville, NF.
A0E 1J0
* * * * *
THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO DO. When your name reaches the top in a few
days, you
will start receiving
$5 bills from other people just like yourself, who are willing to invest
$15 to
receive $10,000 cash.
If you don't try it - you will never know.

Howdy all. My wife recently got so sick and tired of Windows crashing on
her that she asked to be moved to Linux like myself. I normally connect
to an Epson printer and have no problems, but she has a Canon BJC-2100
color printer. What conifguration would she need in order to print to
it? I've tried the normal printtool options and they don't seem to work.
She's running Red Hat Linux 6.2 with all the security patches. It's a
300 MHz Pentium II with 128 megs of RAM.
Any suggestions?
Thanks. I'll try the Canon site as well.

I kind-of doubt that it is linuxconf. I run that when I boot my machine
