i have a compaq armada v300 with a Ati Rage Mobility. i downloaded the
appropriate X server from www.linux-notebooks.org and it works ok. only
problem is that i have to attach a monitor to the laptop before i start
X because if i dont, i get all kinds of weird horizontal double windows.
when i start X wihtout any windows it looks ok. the mouse moves normally
and the backdrop looks ok. just when i put windows like xterm or a
windowmanager on it, it looks like some buffer overflows and gets
redrawn several times. only horizontally even... is there a setting in
XF86config to prevent this from happening? the odd thing is, when its
bugged up, i plug in a monitor, switch to it and back and it looks ok
again. if anybody knows how this is fixed, please
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED].

You can use all IP numbers beginning with 192.168.x.x. These are reserved for
private use. This article tells more:

use config (lower case) or better yet use
make xconfig (if you have XWindows working) or
make menuconfig (if you don't)
The last two are much easier to navigate for newer users.

Subject: Installing linux onto removable media (IOMEGA JAZ)
Date: Mon, 03 Jul 2000 15:30:06 GMT
I want to install linux onto an IOMEGA JAZ drive. I understand I may take
a performance hit on the drive access speed, etc... but this is mainly for
evaluation anyway. The first issue it seems I have to overcome is that the
Linux install I'm using (RedHat 6.2) will not load a driver for my SCSI
card (AIC-6260AL). I tried expert mode, and tried a couple AHA-15xx family
drivers to no avail. I think the issue is that all the drivers look on IRQ
12 (?) and Windows 98 says the card is on IRQ 10. I guess I could change
the IRQ on the DIP switches...but I don't have those settings either.
(stupid old card!) Even if I get the SCSI card enabled, will I need
another driver for the Jaz then too, or will Linux just see it as another
hard drive? Either behavior would be fine for this. Thanks for any info.

Ahh.. sorry, thought you just didn't have a CD drive.
Download the entire redhat-6.2/i386/RedHat directory and below. I don't
remember off hand if you need to give the install routine the location of the
RedHat directory or the name of the directory that contains the RedHat
structure.. ie, not sure if it will be
ftp.myserver.org/pub/install/RedHat
or
ftp.myserver.org/pub/install
when prompted during install so try it both ways till it works.

First you'll need a cross-over cable to connect them. (I'm assuming since you
don't mention it, you don't have a hub.) A cross over cable is pinned out
like this:
pin 1 -> pin 3
pin 2 -> pin 6
pin 3 -> pin 1
pin 6 -> pin 2
I think Radio Shack carries them ranging from $15-25 for up to 15' long. Ask
for an "ethernet cross-over cable." If you need longer than that, your best
bet is to find a local network cabling company and stop down and ask if they
can make you one. I wouldn't be surprised if you could get 50' or longer
cable for around $25.
Don't just use random numbers.. you may want to connect to the Internet some
day and you'd pay for doing so then. Use any IP addresses in one of the
ranges reserved for Internal networks...
192.168.1.x with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 would be fine.
Since you are talking about just 2 systems, I'd configure the addresses by
hand and avoid setting up a DNS server. Pick a couple of names for your
systems and then edit the /etc/hosts file on each to add a line for each
system.
The format is
ipaddress systemname
So if you picked nascar and daytona as your system names, you might end up
adding something like:
192.168.1.1 nascar
192.168.1.2 daytona
Once you've added that to both systems and saved the new /etc/host, AND your
ethernet cards are working, AND they are connected with your cable, you should
be able to do something like:
ping nascar
and get a reply.
>From there you'll probably want to set up FTP, TELNET and network printing.
You may even want to set up NFS which in effect would let you mount storage
resources on from one computer as if they were local.
good luck

Subject: Linux Based Firewall/FTP info needed...
Date: Mon, 03 Jul 2000 15:39:00 GMT
Where I work we want to set up a Linux based FTP server in house to save
money on our ISP fees. We have a very limited Linux and FTP knowledge
base and any information we can get would be most helpful. A few
questions in closing...
1) I was told that the FTP server had to be set up outside of our
firewall. True?
2) If so I was told that we would then have to set up our own firewall
as our ISP's won't allow for what we've planned. True?
3) Which FTPd program would be the best choice?
4) Will the use of Samba be required for our NT network to access the
server?
Any info or links would be most appreciated. :-)

I may be wrong, but I thought the "server" install didn't install X-Windows.
Please CHECK before taking my word on that one though. Also, you will have to
be logged in as root before doing the Xconfigurator. Also, notice the capital
X in Xconfigurator.

If you have the ATAPI tape support compiled in the kernel
already, the hard work is already done. Stick a tape in the
drive and try a few "mt" commands, eg "mt status" "mt retension"
etc. If mt responds appropriately, you can use the archive
utility of your choice, eg tar, cpio, afio, BRU, etc. to write to
the tape device.

Boot linux from a floppy and use "rdev" to change the kernel's
hard-coded device location for the "/" partition. Edit
/etc/lilo.conf to change the root location to point to the new

I don't know if this is a Gnome function or an Enlightenment
function, but after you have appropriately resized the new
window, you can right-click on it's title bar and select "remember
all settings" from the pop-up. The next time the app loads it
will come up in the same place and at the same size as when you
told it to "remember".

Boot in single user mode so that eth0 is not defined. I got mine to
work just fine with the default modules in RH.
1. Check to see if eth0 is specified before other NICs in
/etc/conf.modules (or modules.conf).
alias eth0 tulip
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x280 irq=9
2. Is your linuxconf configuration conflicting with any manual
configurations you've done?
3. Check your /etc/sysconfig/network for the following:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME="whateveryouwant.com"
GATEWAY="gatewayipaddress_here"
GATEWAYDEV="eth0"
4. After all this... try to "ifup eth0" to see if the NIC comes up.

Run Minicom from the command line?
Gives no such command error.
