[eug-lug]winxp lappy woes...
So... I havnt had a lot of time to mess with this lappy yet, but these are the things Ive tried: original drivers for the smc 8020 pcmcia network card. no luck... different drivers (8022) no luck. Booting knoppix (boots, runs great, detects/loads my network). sadly it wont let me write to the ntfs (winxp) partition! I think Im going to have to resort to floppy disks and juno free internet to get the network (if winxp even supports this device at all!). Or setup my wireless net (I did get a chance to compile the wireless driver, but havnt set up the network or anything yet... or setup the wireless on the lappy... sadly, the lappy came with XP (but has a sticker for win2k) I guess the guy that sold it setup his winxp (and a bunch of other stuff, taking up 4G of 12G). I shold see if I can get the original cd that comes with this laptop, but untill then, I have to deal with XP (which so far is very unimpressive to me) Sadly, I still need both windows and linux to do eveyrthing I need right now...

[eug-lug] Thanks for SB card help everyone (and a new little annoyance)
What can I say but THANKS! Everyone had great ideas/suggestions for me to get the sound up and running.For the time being I've pulled the SB Live card out and got my AC '97 sound working.I'm planning on diving into the SoundBlaster card but probably after the holidays. I've got another little annoyance going on now that I could use some help with. I've got a constant hi/lo tone coming from my speakers once Mandrake starts up. Sounds like a European Police Horn. I think it's got something to do with the chassis intrusion alarm that's built into this ASUS K7M Slot A Motherboard but I don't know for sure. I've disabled the intrusion alarm in the CMOS and there's no cable connected to the pins on the board. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Again, thanks for all the ideas/suggestions..you've got me pointed in the right direction, now I just need to dive in! Sincerely, Nyal R.

Check in your rear view mirror for a vehicle with flashing red or blue lights following you. That could be the source of the noise. The best way to make it go away is accelerate and outrun the vehicle. -- Bob Miller Kbob kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug

Both should be part of the usb-storage driver once you have the appropriate chipset driver for your USB controller (EHCI for USB 2, UHCI most likely, or possibly OHCI, for USB 1.1. You have two options for a UHCI driver usb-uhci and uhci (the JE driver). I can't recommend one over the other, but I suspect most likely a canned kernel in RH uses one or the other. I do not know if 8.0 even supports EHCI. ___ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug

My wife wants to get me a pda for christmas, but she wants me to choose as I use Linux.

Re: [eug-lug]PDA's
The few PDA's the run linux are a little harder to find. If you want to be supergeek you run linux on your PDA. If you just want it for some sort of productivity like phone numbers, schedules, etc.. then go for a Palm. I like using my Zaurus for taking notes and playing games in color. I find it's great for travel, just never leave home without the charger. --- Bob Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dirk Ouellette wrote: My wife wants to get me a pda for christmas, but she wants me to choose as I use Linux.
