You apparently haven't read the responses to your previous post of
this question.
Short answer: No, there is no port of "Windows Media Player".
Microsoft has not (and probably will not) port this commercial product
to the Linux environment.
However, there are Linux packages that provide similar or identical
functionality. You have been referred to some of them.

A likely scenario is that you installed kernel source, recompiled
kernel, but, did not compile modules and install modules. If after
running "make zlilo/make boot/make whatever", did you run "make modules
| make modules install." That happened to me to. Please read the
documentation on compiling kernels, because you need to first remove
old modules (mv /lib/modules-2.2.12 to /lib/modules-old) and then "make
modules_install." If that isn't it check you modules.conf or whatever
config file for loading modules exist on your distribution (you didn't
mention which).

Make a group with all the people you need to share with as
members. Change the group ownership of the files to this group
(eg "chgrp share filename" where "share" is the name of the group
and "filename" is the file you wish to share). Change the
permssions on the file(s) to allow the group read/write access to
the file (eg chmod u+rw filename) and then members of the "share"
group can read and write the file(s). If the users belong to a
different group by default they will need to use "newgrp share"
to log into the "share" group. You can put this newgrp command
and perhaps a umask command into the users' ~/.bashrc to help
automate this.

But Linux supports Adaptec :-) You probably must recompile your kernel and
activate the AHA152x/2825 support. The 1505AE is covered by it.

Um, if that's all the Makefile contains, then that should make no
difference.
Are those really spaces before the second, third, sixth, and seventh
lines of the Makefile above? They should be tab characters.

Try putting double quotes round ${NETWORKING}, so "${NETWORKING}" (you
don't need the {} there anyway). If the NETWORKING environment variable
isn't set, then without the quotes this expands to [ = "no" ], which is
a syntax error.

I edited the Makefile and defined a unique EXTRAVERSION so I don't need
to rm /lib/modules/2.2.12.
The procedure I follow is:
make menuconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
cp bzImage to /boot
make modules_install
copy System.map to /boot (optional)
do a mkinitrd
lilo -v -v
The mkinitrd should store the scsi modules in a ram disk which the
kernel can then load at boot time, but this is obviously not happening.
With the scsi drivers in the kernel and not modules I can load the
network module manually using insmod.

This is probably specific to Redhat Linux. I'm looking to upgrade a
Redhat kernel to 2.2.16 and I'm not sure which RPMs I need. I am

Yest, that is correct... you should use the i686 rpms for optimal
performance even though the i386 version should work fine. I was
documented somewhere in the RedHat website but I can't seem to locate

Are you sure it says endif and not fi ?????
my script says
# Check that networking is up.
if [ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ]
then
exit 0
fi
You could try putting ${NETWORKING} between double-quotes, that should
solve your problem.

Try booting in run level 1, single user mode. (see "man lilo" for
help). You can also boot from a rescue floppy. Both of these
approaches will let you get your system running so you can fix whatever

I now have everything working great. I didn't need a client at all. I

Or via a network, with FTP or NFS, though without floppy or cdrom you'd have

No, leave it alone. How about:
shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.rshd
Anything here that is commented out, is not enabled, and won't work.

Can you see group.byname map with 'ypwhich -m'?
Does your /var/yp/nicknames file contain the "group group.byname"
record?

You need an external, ethernet. BS does have the Alcatel SpeedTouch
Home, but seem like they reserve it for MacOS users. You might try
leaning on them. You can get this to if PCI and USB are not available
options.

No.

This doesn't work either since the hardware is not availalbe to Linux.

I couldn't find Xcursion. It looks like Compaq now owns it, but I
couldn't find it on their website. Is there an evaluation version for
it?

Hi there,
I had a similar problem and it was related to that I changed order of disks on
IDE chain. Solution was very simple - edit /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo. The
matter of the problem is that lilo loader point to wrong partition to load
kernel. I hope that everyone of you keep linux bootable floppy for case like
this ;-) (of cause you can use bootable CD as well.)
