X86 lacks all core hardware hotswapability...periferal hardware is fine but swaping things like CPUs, Memory, harddrives, etc is impossable on X86.

how to get MOzilla to print to Cups printer through kprint
how can you get mozilla to print to the cups printer I have? be it through kprint or directly through cups? I could not find any info on it in mozilla help so I am hoping that one of you may have had an experience with this. thanks, Jeremy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Can anyone explain what is a 32 bit > i/o and DMA and what is the advantage of setting u such a thing? that was a pretty odd problem.hmm... but DMA is Direct Memory Access. the Drive can send data directly to the main memory rather than sending the data to the CPU first which will slow down throughput (bad for watching DVDs and writing to hard drives and CD-RW etc) and the 32 bit i/o will let you take advantage of your full PCI buss (which is 32 bit unless you have high end hardware..in that case it might be 64...but unlikely...dunno for other than i386 so YMMV) Jeremy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Intel(r) AC'97 Audio Controller - SigmaTel Codec
you need to patch the kernel with the ACPI patch and then compile all the ACPI options(except one near the top of the list that blanks out the rest) into the kernel. then you will magicly have sound as long as you have your sound module and sound support set as modules or compiled in. - Original Message - From: "Oleg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 25, 2002 1:35 PM Subject: Intel(r) AC'97 Audio Controller - SigmaTel Codec > Hi > > I'm trying to get this sound "card" to work with 2.4.18 Woody kernel, and I > tried ac97_codec.o i810_audio.o soundcore.o kernel drivers, which lead to a > very peculiar barely audible sound (like a modulated system beep). > > I also heard of the reports of people using ALSA on this laptop, so I > installed alsa-drivers-0.9: `modprobe snd-intel8x0` succeeds, but xmms gives > an error: "oss_open(): Failed to open audio device (/dev/dsp): No such device" > > Any ideas? > > Thanks in advance for your time. > > Oleg > P.S.
