Re: [Cooker] 9.0: firewall too strict

2002-10-05 Thread steve ide

It's better a firewall strict than a sieve
remember when you install you can open your network to everyone.

Re: [Cooker] VIA686a sound problems

2002-10-02 Thread steve ide

What is this BULL* via sound drivers create more problems than they solve
the fact is there is a problem with interrupts with these chipsets. I 
love Linux and use it every day. The best way is to use a decent 
soundcard (sblive etc..) works fine !! (accounting pracitce in PARIS)  I 
have found serveral workaround for the via drivers but it depends on 
which kernel you are using.. you can call me on +330146062265
As an installer of linux systems I have noticed most of the promblems is 
due to bad hardware

Re: [Cooker] Suggestions for upcoming Mandrake

2001-11-09 Thread steve ide

Sounds like a great idea as I love GPIB/HPIB (memories) sigh !! :-)
There is so much gear out there that uses this and for embedded linux
it could open many possibilites (anybody remeber the commodore machines or

Re: [Cooker] Unknown freezes in the night

Hi
 maybe the problem is far more simple it's farily easy to check.

 Ok Caps might get old but they are also fairly senestive to temp/humidty
changes

 with time this aggreavates suggest putting a 470 µfd on the 5v and a 1000
µfd on the 12v see what happens.  The problem is that cheap TW psu's dont
often rate
whats marked on them ?? what is the HW config exactly ??

they are good printers so why can't we have support

Hi , 

I dont know if you got my email earlier this morning but
I need more details on the printer boxes as its possible that they
are pure NETBEURK or maybe TCP or IPX in either case
I have used Linux/samba/ipx and managed in general to get
them to work (jetdirect / 3com / Intel) let me know how you get on
