You can also try the xset command:
xset m 5 2
should give a more manageble mouse speed.
the first number is the acceleration value
and the second is the threshold.
"m" is mouse

I am able to boot from the Red Hat 6.2 ISO without any problems.
The official Red Hat 7.0 ISO is a different story...
It attempts boot from the CD... but the screen remains blank for several
minutes while the CD-ROM light stays on until finally I get a message saying
"boot failed." I've tried multiple
ftp sites' "7.0-i386-respin-disc1.iso"
Anyone else experienc this? Any suggestions on how to get it to boot from
the CD properly?
Thanks

I thought it was likely to be
an NTFS file system, given its running MS NT, But I have no
clear idea of the history of the drive and since fdisk clearly
said it was FAT16 I assumed it would be correct and that NT was
installed on a FAT16 filesystem. Consequently all I could guess at
was that the ntfs kernel module was clever enough to know what to do
with a FAT16 as well as NTFS.
So there you go fdisk lied.

Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2000 02:56:39 GMT
Hi gang:
I have two PC's at home both running RH6.1. Both have NICs which I
am able to configure with ifconfig. The following is the output from
/sbin/ifconfig from both PCs:
PC #1
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:21:EC:8D

I can ping each inet address on the respective PC but not to the
other. If I try to telnet from PC #1 to PC #2 I get the following error:
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host
I checked the route tables and PC #1 looks like this:

You can do this from Linux with the "dd" command. Or were you
looking for a DOS program? I had such a DOS program years ago
but don't recall what it was. If you can use "dd", that's fine
if you need DOS, reply to me by mail.

I just got a new (old) computer; it looks like what they normally used

it be possible to install Linux on that bad boy. It has 2 processors; I

Also, what would be a good distribution? I wanted one with a lot of

every penny out of "unlimited use." SuSE is pretty cool but I don't like
the script-based startup. Slackware is probably my favorite, but I

if the person who posted the XF86Config file has exactly the same
laptop, it might be that your version of X is too old that the video
chipset on it is not supported. in that case you can upgrade to the
later version and try again.

Subject: Cable/WAN DNS Problems
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2000 03:57:19 GMT
I'm running RedHat 7.0 and I'm currently a subscriber of the @Home
network. I'm using a 3Com 3C509x NIC. I have been issued a static IP
address, and I'm trying to configure my networking so everything will
function properly. My IP is 24.181.137.185 and the default gateway is
24.181.137.1 - in Windows they set my machine up to be a DHCP client (even
though I have a static IP, I don't understand that) and they didn't specify
and DNS servers at all. I asked them what the DNS servers are, and the
tech. supp. people didn't even know. Is DNS something that is handled by
the WAN or something? Basically, my question is, when prompted for my DNS
servers in Linux, should I leave them blank, and if I do... will I be able
to resolve names? Second, since my Windows box was set up to obtain IP
addresses automatically, should I set my Linux box up to be a DHCP client
despite having a static IP address?

No, I'm just pointing out why (or one of the reasons why) X is
failing.
I don't know your hardware; is that some new-fangled video shares RAM
with main RAM thing? Have you looked at Harker's Linux on Laptop stuff?
And, note the Superprobe listing says you have 2048 Kbytes. What's
the memory setting in your /etc/XF86Config ?

yes you can, you can install pretty much any OS aon any computer, but each
"higher versions" of an OS have their own requirements, just make sure that
the computer you are using meets the minimum requirements. Pick your own
distro. Go to www.linux.com

This is a 2-step process:
1) Create a PostScript file in whatever program you like.
2) Use Ghostscript to convert PostScript to PDF. This is most easily
done by using the ps2pdf script.
You can combine these two steps by creating appropriate scripts, weird
print queues, etc. The best way to do this will vary depending on your
exact needs, though.
One caveat: Ghostscript does a pretty miserable job handling anything
but the standard fonts (Times, Courier, and Helvetica). There's at least
one other tool that'll do the same job. It's better at font handling but
worse at layout. I don't recall its name offhand, though.

This won;t help installing X seperately (a red hat wiz can tell you that),
but you might try a custom installation from setup and select "text" mode
for the installation. The normal (non text) mode of Redhat installation is
in my experience worthless on the 5 PC's I have tried it on !

Fat and NTFS may come from the same stable, but they are not the same horse.
You cannot mount one as the other !
I am using kernel 2.2.16 where i recall seeing an experimental option in
the kernel for write support to NTFS volumes. Since I dont use NT I have
never tried it.
