On Red Hat's printtool utility, how can I add/define other paper types? The

Too true, Netscape doesn't think so though, probably for the

I found the problem, my app uses a shared library that is not in /usr/lib.
It is the Qt library, libqt. I guess the env var needs to be set for that.
At the to of my crontab I added...
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/qt/lib
Now it runs. Thanks people.

Hi,
Does anybody have expericence in configuring the VIA KT133A chip set for Red
Hat Linux7.0.
I got a MSI K7T Turbo motherboard and an Athlon 1.3GHZ cpu. During the boot,
the red hat plug-n-play stuffs keep asking me about configuring all four new
devices detected. They are embeded in the single chip set. However if I ever
dare to continue letting the Red Hat do so, the system is crashing for sure.
I always skip the auto configuration during the boot.
1. For Windows, there is a simple tool called "all-4-in-one" driver however
for Linux, VIA claims that it is not supported at this time.
2. How do I disable the automatic plug-n-play feature during the boot for
Red Hat Linux 7.0?
-- Thanks!

Sounds as if you compiled a kernel and forgot to copy system.map to
/boot.
Before a longer thread about system.map starts again and the need or
not,
"man klogd", or check groups.google.com.

Makes no sense for me, why should a module be requested before / got
mounted,
one could use initrd for things like that, but parport?

Figured it out, at least maybe me asking a dumb question might help
someone else doing a deja search for this in the future (which I did
before asking).
make mrproper
I didn't do that.
Sigh... I guess I figured that you couldn't get any cleaner than a fresh
install, but I guessed wrong. Loads of damn .ver files are in there that
apparently screw up the module compile.
So, boys and girls:
read the stuff at --
http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-7.1-Manual/customization-guide/kernel-modularized.html
then...
make mrproper
copy a canned .config file from config/
make menuconfig (or whatever)
edit Makefile and add your own unique version string, as recommended above.
(I needed to change it to smp since all I want is to update one module...)
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

hello,
Any one able to boot the rhat 7.1 iso images (intel) ?
After I burn the CD's (cd 1 and cd 2). I reboot the PC, and the
boot starts from the CD. I get the menu, I hit return to do
graphic install, then when it goes to /boot/loader message on the console,
the screen flips to all blue and then nothing happens.
HW is fine. I tried 2 good disks and no change. this same PC I am
using now with Suse 7.1 and window with no problem.
SO it seems the problem with the new RHat 7.1 not happy about something.
This is an intel PC, IDE drives, 128 MB. nothing fancy, just a
reqular PC.
These are images I am using:
672518144 Apr 17 20:50 seawolf-i386-disc1.iso
668551168 Apr 18 00:12 seawolf-i386-disc2.iso

busy, you would think they will get a bigger machine of something
by now).

I have had apache running flawlessly for about 2 months now. All has been
fine up until today when everything took a big dump. Figured out my log

I run 12 virtual hosts on my system, all which serve graphics. I have been
trying to figure out how to keep from logging image files but without
success. Can somebody walk me through the process? I'm a complete newbie
at apache so be kind in explaining this to me.
Thanks a bunch

Are you sure it's a Rockwell modem? Or is Rockwell just the chipset manufacturer?
Anyway, I think the Rockwell chip set _might_ be for a Windows-modem (winmodem).
In other words, all signal processing functions are performed on the PC's driver
for the OS. Windows OS driver model uses "special" drivers for devices like this
in which the complexity of the device is programmed into the driver.
Under Linux, normally, it expects it to be a "normal" modem: something that talks
as a serial port and understand modem commands. The Rockwell is probably not one
of these.
So you have a couple of choices:
* Search the web for a special piece of software that will run on Linux and
support the Rockwell chip set (it _may_ exist... try www.linhardware.com, for
example).
* Buy a _real_ modem (something not listed as a "winmodem"). Real modems work
great on Linux.

Subject: How to set-up /boot to use multiple kernels
Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2001 23:38:52 GMT
I am running rh7.0
kernel = 2.4.2
lilo = 21.4-4
I am trying to set-up my /boot directory so I can choose to boot off
either my newly compiled vmlinuz-2.4.2-K1 kernel image or the old
vmlinuz-2.2.16-22. I know I need to set-up /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo
but what files are necessary in /boot. I ask this because my current
/boot directory has link files (System.map, module-info, vmlinuz)
pointing to files with my old kernel's name. If want to boot either
kernel how should I set-up the files? (I have included a printout of
my /boot directory)
Another question is, do I need the module-info file. If so, is there
some process that automatically configures the module-info based on what
I told xconfig to load as modules? If I need to set it up, where do I
get all the information used to create the module-info file?

At first, I was using hard disk drawers. One drawer for Linux and one for
Windows. There is no need to buy a separate machine, save money for buying
peripherial cards because Linux does not support all the cards you are
using.
Ask your friends for older cards, you may have a better chance. Advantage of
using two hard disks (one at a time ) is it will not accidently erase data
or Windows.
After a while, I am familiar with the system-- numerous formating and
installing, I put one disk as slave to use Linux, it works as dual boot, but
two OS on two hard disks instead of installing in two different partitions
on the same disk. -- works the same as in different partition on the same
hard disk.
