I wonder if this card is supported by the same driver as the 3c905b --
3c59x.o -- have you tried that module? It was in my Slack7 distro, might
be in yours. The Ethernet-HOWTO tells how to find it otherwise.

I'm trying to setup a slackware 7.0 system with the root filesystem
mounted as read-only. I have /var and /tmp mounted on ramdisk. I've
modified /etc/fstab with the 'ro' option on the root filesystem. But the
system always boots up 'rw'. Does anybody know what's wrong?

I'm not sure then, upgraded my 128MB laptop without any problems via FTP,
although I can't remember whether that was full upgrade or an update from a
currently running 6.4.
I suggest perserverence and fiddling. You'll probably find the cause or a
workaround eventually. Once 6.4's installed it works fine via ftp.
Sorry I can't be more helpful than that, beyond buying the boxset or burning
the eval-CD.

Well I just tried to load linux also ....
1) the mounting error msg was bcos u did not specify a mount point ....such

2) u can change a partition to a swap partition in fdisk with the "t"

Hi,
I have jus been trying to load linux .... for ages ..but when it came to the
probing of my video card my comp just froze ..... i am reading a book on
linux ..... . But nowhere does it say wat to do other than to reboot
the sys and continue with the installation ..... so the only way i managed
to get it going again was with the boot floppy & the CD in the drvs, i get
the redhat setup page.And the only way i can get it to do any changes to the
installing is by going into expert mode and choosing "upgrade". But when the
comp froze in the first place i was letting it "probe" because i received a
msg that my monitor config was wrong. SO .......does this mean that my sys
is proper;y config'd now??

Kevin,
We have installed performer in the configuration you have described
(geforce 256 on elsa erazor x2) but on a 450MHz machine, we have 'town'
running at 20 to 30 Hz with texture on and are very pleased with it. We
had to change gamma to get a bright and cheerful display though seem to
recall a perfly recompile was needed at some stage too. You do not
mention if you have upgraded to XFree 86 4.0 (not part of redhat 6.2)
or downloaded the specific Nvidia drivers (watch out for the correct
versions as recently discussed in the performer news group). Both of
these are required steps. Hope this brief reply is enough to give
encouragement. On our next build soon we intend to do a blow-by-blow
'howto'.

Your kernel seems to think the kernel is on /dev/sda1, which
would be the first partition of a SCSI disk. If you do in
fact have a SCSI disk, and you are using a generic kernel,
SCSI support is a module. As a result there has to be
an initial ramdisk with some vestigal SCSI support built in
so that you can actually load the kernel. This is handled
in /etc/lilo.conf with an initrd statement. But for that
to work, you need to run mkinitrd.
You should still be able to boot from a floppy and fix it
all.

In addition to what Thomas wrote, to save time you can type just the first
two-three letters of the filename, then hit the Tab key and Linux will complete
the filename. Example:
to start "my_filename" (without quotes, of course!) you would type:
./my_
then hit the Tab key.

You're doing both. <g>
When you map a hard disk partition to a directory, you're telling
Linux to treat that device *as a directory*.
The names you are using look correct; at least, they are standard
directory names. Except that they all ought to start with a '/',
e.i., /home, /usr, /var, /boot.
There are some good Howtos that give recommendations on good
sizes for each partition. The most common I've seen is 2meg each
for /home and /usr... but it depends on what your system will be
used for.

Hi,
I have Mandrake 6.5 running on my m/c (400Mhz 686) and i have 32M of
RAM.
I have ordered another 128M because KDE + Netscape just don't work
well in 32M RAM space.
During initial setup i had 64M swap space reserved. So now do i have
to add 320M (2 X RAM)
as swap space and if yes how do i accomplish this. or how much
should i have.
Thanks for your time.

This is somewhat of a grey area. It depends on what you
use your system for. I say that swap should at least be
equal to ram. Another skool of thought says swap=2xram.
However, this is what I have:
Mem: 192796K av, 189320K used, 3476K free, 96440K shrd, 65592K buff
Swap: 80284K av, 2080K used, 78204K free 42680K cached
So the choice is yours. You have two options basically for adding
swap. Add a swap partition or add a swap file. For adding a partition,
use fdisk to label a free partition as swap, then mkswap the partition,
add the entry to /etc/fstab and swapon. Man mkswap and swapon for
more details. Using a swap file I'll leave as further reading for
you.

Check to make sure the chipset you have on your card is DEC 2104x , otherwise
the tulip.o module won't work. (I think I've read on Linksys's web site that
they, like new SMC's, use RTL8139 chipset.) Just as a reference: I have a
SMC with a DEC 21041A chipset, and it always (RH5.2/6.0/6.1)worked on tulip
module. Well, almost always, because when I've upgraded to RH6.2, it gave me
the same errors like your card gave you. The fix was to use the de4x5.o
module in lieu of the tulip.o one.
Maybe this helps.
Ferdi.

Check to make sure the chipset you have on your card is DEC 2104x , otherwise
the tulip.o module won't work. (I think I've read on Linksys's web
site that they, like new SMC's, use RTL8139 chipset.) Just as a reference:
I have a SMC with a DEC 21041A chipset, and it always (RH5.2/6.0/6.1)worked
on tulip module. Well, almost always, because when I've upgraded to RH6.2,
it gave me the same errors like your card gave you. The fix was to
use the de4x5.o module in lieu of the tulip.o one.
<p>Maybe this helps.

OK, I wasn't sure whether you'd reinstalled the development stuff too.
What distribution are you using? Without this information, it's hard to
do any kind of detailed diagnosis ...

Could you show us the exact line from /etc/fstab, please, just in case
something's slightly wrong there?

No such thing - it's Red Hat (Linux) 6.1, probably Linux 2.2. Linux is
the kernel, Red Hat is the distribution.
(*sigh* - sorry, but it does grate on some of us who use other
distributions ...)

Be sure that there are no leading zeros in any of your IP
adresses (you can edit /etc/resolv.conf or use KPPP setup). In
other words, you want, e.g.:
207.48.12.111
instead of:
207.048.012.111
Good luck.

At various points, elm has been, um, rather less that Y2K-compliant. I
can't remember if it's all been fixed. Have you tried Michael Elkins'
Elm24ME+ patches? See <URL:http://ozone.fmi.fi/KEH/>.
Alternatively, you could try using mutt instead. :)

"Master," I complained, "the programmer who wrote this code is lazy!
It's a simple bug and yet he's done nothing about it." My Master asked
me, "Why, then, have you not fixed it yourself?" I was then enlightened.
