Hi,
No need for a driver! In RH 6.2 when you get the 'boot: ' type in 'expert'. I
expect RH 7 won't be much different. It will take you to additional screens.
The 1st asks for additional driver. Skip this. The second asks for add-on
hardware. Select SCSI and you'll find a list in which the AHA 1542 in
mentioned. Just select this one and "Bob's your uncle".
Good luck

Hello,
i am currently at school, and a full time runner of linux. however, i
reciently got another computer (small 166mhz pentium) so that i could
always leave that one on, and have it act as a webserver. this way i can
shut my other linux box off from time to time. so now here is my
question. being at school, ive got one dedicated IP address. what i want
to do is set up the 166mhz machine as a apache server, always running.
now i want to hook my other computer (nice 550 mhz linux box) through
the 166 server. since i have only one IP, i cant just plug them both
into a hub. so my question, is how exactly do i setup my 166 as a server
for all incomming traffic, and outgoing traffic of itself and my other
computer? thanks.

Your best bet is to make a partition mounted at "/boot" and then have your
main linux partition mounted at "/" see lilo needs to be installed before
the 1024th cylinder for it to work correcly. so if you make a tiny boot
partition (liek 20 megs large) and install lilo there, then it will work
quite nicly :-) took me forever to figure that out. the documentation
blows.

I respectfully disagree. We have an external ISP host a secondary MX server
that simply collects all email in the event of an outage, then forwards it
to our main in-house server when it returns to service.
Several reasons for this suggestion
1. T1's go down
2. Servers go down
3. Major virus attacks. When the luv letter [misspelled to prevent filtering
of msg] virus hit so hard and before the antivirus, we simply disconnected
our email server from the external network. We let the host for the
secondary MX worry about cleaning their server, and in the meantime, there
wasn't any propogation of the virus. The next morning, we reconnected our
email server and had a ZERO incidence of infection. Email was delayed by
approx 24hrs and antivirus software had caught up by then. Sure beats the
alternative!
4. When you host your own email for your domain, any unavailability bounces
email back to the sender. This can be very costly from a business point of
view. Sure, it'll *probably* try to resend, but sometimes it's too late, and
some servers only send every 24hrs. It also gives a poor impression and/or
lost sales if you do business on the internet.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Term emulator with *real* keypad emulation?
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 18:34:09 GMT
Is there a terminal emulator for X that accurately emulates the VT100
application keypad, including the use of NumLock as the DEC "Gold"
editing key?
I'm trying to install my favorite text editor, "ED," which is a clone
of the old DEC EDT editor. (Available via anonymous ftp from clio.rice.edu.)
This editor makes extensive use of the numeric keypad in application mode,
unfortunately all of the terminal emulators I've tried so far don't
seem to properly emulate the keypad, particularly that pesky Gold key.
(Though the Linux console does, ED works fine from a text-mode console.)
Thus far I've tried xterm, gnome-terminal, konsole, and e-term along
with their various keyboard settings where available, and no luck so far;
the only way I can make ED work properly is to switch to one of the
text-mode consoles.
Any help finding an emulator that will work with this will be greatly
appreciated! Though I'm no stranger to vi, having worked extensively
with DEC systems I've got that blasted EDT keypad burned into my brain...

From: Donald Brady <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 11:50:10 -0800
Hi
I installed RH7 on a machine sans X windows, which means no control-panel. I
added a HP Deskjet 890C by coping a /etc/printcap entry that I had for the
same printer on another machine (created by control panel) and manually
created the /var/spool/lpd/lp directory and various other files by copying
them from the machine the printer worked on before. I used checkpc to verify
permissions etc.
Now whenever I do an lpr somefile.txt I get:
lpq
Printer: lp@tecra
Queue: no printable jobs in queue
Status: job 'root@tecra+594' removed at 11:43:58.999
Anybody know what this message is a symptom off or can assist me in manually
adding this printer?

Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 12:48:48 -0700
Can anyone here elaborate on the installation and configuration of X for
my ATI RFP (Rage 128 Pro based)?
>From what I've been able to gather, with 4.0.2 installed all I should
have had to do is configure as if it were a Rage
128 based board and then add the correct ChipID to the card's section of
the /etc/X11/XF86Config (or whatever it is
called) file. I've tried several variations of this, but none have
worked. Most posts I've found have said to use
ChipID 0x5246 [rage 128 FP I think], but my chip appears to be a 5046
[rage 128 Pro FP]. I've tried both, and there
are X errors in each case).
Though the r128 drivers are supposed to be near complete in .2, I
figured there might be some small incompatibilities
with different chip revisions, so I decided to try the standard vga
driver. This time I got X, but at ~320x200 and in
4-16 color depth (though I'd set a min of 640). I also tried the VESA
driver, and that gave me a more acceptable
resolution, but still had horrible color depth.
Monitor is Panasonic S15, HorizSync 30-67, VertRefresh 50-120, trying
for 640-1024 horizontal resolution modes.

Go to runlevel 1 (single user). Run 'passwd' as root and set a new
password. Then run 'passwd <user>' for each user on the system. This
should fix it.

I would undo all of the manual stuff that you did, go get the RedHat 7.0
LPRng-3.6.24-2 rpm and install it.
If your machine_to_configure is on a network I would go to the machine that
has Xwindows running (the one with the control panel) and I would open a
terminal window, type xhost +machine_to_configure, then ssh into the
machine_to_configure and run printtool remotely to setup the printer.
Another nice way to do this would be to install vnc on both the machine
without X that you want to configure and a remote machine (can be linux or
windows). Then start vncserver on the linux machine and vncviewer on the
remote machine. Then use printtool to setup the printer.
There are other ways you could do this, man printcap might help.
It could be something as simple as you restarting your lpd,
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd restart"
Hope this helps,

Linux console doesn't do the keypad properly either...

I'd simply switch xterm into vt220-keyboard mode and use that (the
default is PC-style).
The XFree86 xterm supports ANSI color and VT220 emulation
There's an faq at

ftp://dickey.his.com/xterm
(ymmv - some distributors clutter up the xmodmap and X resources with
things that make it unusable on a VMS system).

i have been able to configure my realtek 8029as chipset nic on eth0 with
ne2k-pci. however when i try to load the module for my sound card, it tells
me no device found ( paraphrased ) but i can see my sound card in /proc/pci
has been given an irq of 10.
any suggestions?? assume that i didn't try your idea.
thanks in advance again.

And portmap is configured properly? It needs to have en entry i
hosts.allow. Something like:
portmap: networknumber/netmask
