This depends somewhat on how you acquired the module. If you have some module sources you can usually do something like this: gcc -fno-pic -mno-abicalls -Wall -I/usr/src/linux/include -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -DLINUX -c module.c This will create a module.o file that you can insmod/modprobe. Some modules are shipped as patches against kernel sources. In this case you'd need to make sure that you have the kernel sources installed then do something like: cd /path/to/linux/ patch patchfile.patch then rebuild your kernel :) Seriously, let me know what form your module sources are in and I can give better instructions.

Lyvim Xaphir wrote: I don't take kindly to my president being called a madman. But it is plainly quite true - he is quite certifiably insane.He is the grandson of a traitor, Prescott Bush, who was aiding and abetting the Nazis though WWII until he was arrested and imprisoned.The sins of the father are visited upon the son, even over two generations. Even an elementary psychological awareness immediately recognises his multiple false projections. First, instead of owning it, he projects his own devils on to Osama bin Laden, now on to Saddam Hussien.When he describes Hussein he is describing himself and his own contemplated actions. This kind of projection is very common (and a serious sin against God), just very bad in his case.He has virtually no personality or character - his observers immediately sense this and project their own goodness on to him in the attempt to fill the psychological void (nature abhors a vacuum), but healing does not happen - it should be obvious why (there is falseness all around). The psychological effect of such behaviour on healthy observers is to induce the unconscious desire to heal (this is God at work). This strong attraction is sensed as charisma - always the result of mental sickness, serious character faults, in the observed. Shakespeare wrote most of his plays about this fascinating subject. So that in a few words is the simple explanation of what is going on. What is needed is better knowledge of one's internal psychological processes, so they are not disowned and therefore projected out on the external world. When that happens, the world reflects it back in kind, and it hurts. Beware of yourself, George W Bush! You yourself are the enemy your speechwriter describe so fluently. Bush himself is not fluent - note the constant applause interruptions in his State of the Union speech. No developed ideas at all - it takes peace and time to express them - result is more plans-void from Bush. Especially when he is fighting a *real* madman that has slaughtered over 230,000 innocent kurds with mustard gas; plus done God knows what else to his own people; President Bush was descriptive of some of those things. You've got the wrong f*cking madman, pal. If he's a madman then everybody else in the room was also, cause he got well over 9 standing ovations that I could count. He also has had the highest approval rating of any president in US history. He also has my undivided attention and support. So maybe the majority of Americans are madmen then? Or more likely there is something seriously wrong with the German side of the equation. Ah, yeah, given history, I'd say definitely so. It pisses me off when other countries that have no ethics or balls to do the right thing in defense of innocents criticize my country and my president. Germany's histories regarding innocent life are not exactly something to brag about; however I'm not posting rants regarding Hitler and the Holocaust and 6 million Jews that were murdered. Oh yeah, and the fact that the US was one of the primary forces that put a stop to it. Madmen, eh? yeah, I can certainly talk about some madmen; like the ones that murder Jews. However I'm starting to understand why the Mandrake lists should minimize political talk; because I am extremely pissed right now.

Although I used to always recompile the kernel in the past, I no longer see any reason to do so since default kernels usually have all modules available. So if a module isn't loading there must be some other reason for it. What should I do next? er, how about modprobe visor and see what it's complaining about? # rpm -q pilot-link pilot-link-0.9.5-8mdk So pilot-link is installed already - you don't need to install the tarball. Ok, I was under the impression that I probably needed to upgrade it, but didn't find an rpm. The fact that tarballs won't compile is a YAFP, (Yet Another Frustrating Problem, although the `F' can stand for something else.) Whatever the case, I'll not bother with upgrading at this time since pilot-link-0.9.5-8mdk is installed. Go back and read my clie page again, that pilot-link version will not work with a USB handheld. Granted, I didn't specify version numbers, but I did tell you that the version distributed with MDK 8.2 won't work. I've just updated the page to specify that you need version 0.11.x. Do you have Evolution installed - it is pretty good at setting up a Palm device if you just follow thru the instructions under tools/pilot-settings? (You will also need to have evolution-pilot installed.) If that was successful, you would probably just find that JPilot works fine. Um, let's see... # rpm -q evolution evolution-1.0.2-5mdk # rpm -q evolution-pilot package evolution-pilot is not installed Well, I'll play with evolution since it's installed, but I'll have to download an rpm for evolution-pilot, since my CD-ROM is down: (YAFP!) That happened when I switched to a writable CD-ROM and ignorantly tried to follow the howtos, which bessed everything up so bad that I can't get that working now either. (Sigh!) I'll have to find the URL where I can download the RPM for the evolution-pilot that goes with evolution-1.0.2-5mdk. Do yourself a favor and get pilot-link working before messing with Evolution. Do youself another favor and just use J-Pilot; I've given up on Evolution-pilot as it is incapable of synchronizing. All it can reliably do is copy from one location to another, which will produce duplicate records. When it tries to synchronize, it will get confused and delete records that shouldn't be deleted. Haven't tried with 1.2 yet, but my read of their development list archives doesn't inspire confidence that PDA work is very high on their list of priorities. snip -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...

First, instead of owning it, he projects his own devils on to Osama bin Laden, now on to Saddam Hussien. When he describes Hussein he is describing himself and his own contemplated actions. This kind of projection is very common (and a serious sin against God), just very bad in his case. He has virtually no personality or character - his observers immediately sense this and project their own goodness on to him in the attempt to fill the psychological void (nature abhors a vacuum), but healing does not happen - it should be obvious why (there is falseness all around). The psychological effect of such behaviour on healthy observers is to induce the unconscious desire to heal (this is God at work). This strong attraction is sensed as charisma - always the result of mental sickness, serious character faults, in the observed. Shakespeare wrote most of his plays about this fascinating subject. So that in a few words is the simple explanation of what is going on. What is needed is better knowledge of one's internal psychological processes, so they are not disowned and therefore projected out on the external world. When that happens, the world reflects it back in kind, and it hurts. Beware of yourself, George W Bush! You yourself are the enemy your speechwriter describe so fluently. Bush himself is not fluent - note the constant applause interruptions in his State of the Union speech. No developed ideas at all - it takes peace and time to express them - result is more plans-void from Bush.

You've got the wrong f*cking madman, pal. If he's a madman then everybody else in the room was also, cause he got well over 9 standing ovations that I could count. He also has had the highest approval rating of any president in US history. He also has my undivided attention and support. So maybe the majority of Americans are madmen then? Or more likely there is something seriously wrong with the German side of the equation. Ah, yeah, given history, I'd say definitely so. It pisses me off when other countries that have no ethics or balls to do the right thing in defense of innocents criticize my country and my president. Germany's histories regarding innocent life are not exactly something to brag about; however I'm not posting rants regarding Hitler and the Holocaust and 6 million Jews that were murdered. Oh yeah, and the fact that the US was one of the primary forces that put a stop to it. Madmen, eh? yeah, I can certainly talk about some madmen; like the ones that murder Jews.

Re: [expert] OT Will there be a tomorrow?
With all the Anit-American inflamitory comments that have been generated on this thread, I couldn't help but to break down, and add my piece to this. This is an article from London's Daily Mirror Surprise! Surprise! When one of the world's most liberal left wing newspapers writes a great article like this, there is hope for everyone. A thoughtfully written piece in one of the most left wing newspapers in the UK. Just a word of background for those of you who aren't familiar with the UK's Daily Mirror. This is one of the most notorious Left wing, anti-American dailies in the UK. Hard to believe that the Daily Mirror actually published it, but it did. NOTE: I didn't write it, and I'm not Brittish. But it does get to the point... This will be my one, and only contribution to this thread. Begin article: ONE year ago, the world witnessed a unique kind of broadcasting -- the mass murder of thousands, live on television. As a lesson in the pitiless cruelty of the human race, September 11 was up there with Pol Pot's Mountain of skulls in Cambodia, or the skeletal bodies stacked like garbage in the Nazi concentration camps. An unspeakable act so cruel, so calculated and so utterly merciless that surely the world could agree on one thing --nobody deserves this fate. Surely there could be consensus: the victims were truly innocent, the perpetrators truly evil. But to the world's eternal shame, 9/11 is increasingly seen as America's comeuppance [deserved reprimand or punishment]. Incredibly, anti-Americanism has increased over the last year. There has always been a simmering resentment to the USA in this country -- too loud, too rich, too full of themselves and so much happier than Europeans - but it has become an epidemic. And it seems incredible to me. More than that, it turns my stomach. America is this country's greatest friend and our staunchest ally. We are bonded to the US by culture, language and blood. A little over half a century ago, around half a million Americans died for our freedoms, as well as their own. Have we forgotten so soon? And exactly a year ago, thousands of ordinary men, women and children - not just Americans, but from dozens of countries -- were butchered by a small group of religious fanatics. Are we so quick to betray them? What touched the heart about those who died in the twin towers and on the planes was that we recognized them. Young fathers and mothers, somebody's son and somebody's daughter, husbands and wives. And children. Some unborn. And these people brought it on themselves? And their nation is to blame for their meticulously planned slaughter? These days you don't have to be some dust-encrusted nut job in Kabul or Karachi or Finsbury Park to see America as the Great Satan. The anti-American alliance is made up of self-loathing liberals who blame the Americans for every ill in the Third World, and conservatives suffering from power-envy, bitter that the world's only superpower can do what it likes without having to ask permission. The truth is that America has behaved with enormous restraint since September 11. Remember, remember! Remember the gut-wrenching tapes of weeping men phoning their wives to say, I love you, before they were burned alive. Remember those people leaping o their deaths from the top of burning skyscrapers. Remember the hundreds of firemen buried alive. Remember the smiling face of that beautiful little girl who was on one of the planes with her mum. Remember, remember -- and realize that America has never retaliated for 9/11 in anything like the way it could have. So, a few al-Qaeda tourists got locked up without a trial in Camp X-ray? Pass the Kleenex. So, some Afghan wedding receptions were shot up after they merrily fired their semiautomatics in a sky full of American planes? A shame, but maybe next time they should stick to confetti. AMERICA could have turned a large chunk of the world into a parking lot. That it didn't is a sign of strength. American voices are already being raised against attacking Iraq - that's what a democracy is for. How many in the Islamic world will have a minute's silence for the slaughtered innocents of 9/11? How many Islamic leaders will have the guts to say that the mass murder of 9/11 was an abomination? When the news of 9/11 broke on the West Bank, those freedom-loving Palestinians were dancing in the street. America watched all of that -- and didn't push the button. We should thank the stars that America is the most powerful nation in the world. I still find it incredible that 9/11 did not provoke all-out war. Not a war on terrorism. A real war. The fundamentalist dudes are talking about opening the gates of hell if America attacks Iraq. Well, America could have opened the gates of hell like you wouldn't believe. The US is the most militarily powerful nation that ever

And don't try to tell me anything about the German history. Your arrogance is astounding. You spout your own versions of American history to us (obviously flawed), and then forbid us from saying anything about yours? This is the same kind of arrogance that got germans into WW2, and sealed the fate of the Jews. I don't want to take Hussein's side. Of course you do; you already have. Same mistake you guys made in WW2; aligning yourselves on the bad side of right and wrong. To be as technically competent a people as you all seem to be, you sure do seem keen on making mighty stupid ethical choices. Maybe if you were a little more along the lines of In God We Trust, you might not be assuming such indefensible positions and losing all the time. Surely he is a madman. But Mr. Bush is trying to convince the world to go to a war with unknown consequences to the whole world and he does so without any proper reason so far. Hans Blix disagrees with you, Dr Khidhir Hamza disagrees with you, and oh yeah by the way your own German intelligence forces disagree with you as well. http://www.benadorassociates.com/article/1 Excerpt(s) from above URL::: German intelligence estimates that Iraq will produce three atomic weapons by 2005. Reports of terrorists trying to get their hands on crop-dusters also point to Iraq. Even before Desert Storm, Hussein's scientists had modified crop-dusters for spraying biowarfare agents. They also had fitted a fighter plane with a spray tank. Iraq's germ warfare program was perfected during its war with Iran in the 1980s. Little known outside scientific circles is the fact that Hussein even experimented on humans, starting around 1985 with anthrax. Cholera was developed as a weapon as well and employed in experiments on villagers in the Kurdish north. Iraq's germ warfare equipment and stocks were supposedly destroyed under the direction of U.N. inspectors after Desert Storm. But Hussein managed to hide quite a bit of it, as well as the biologists who worked on the weapons. After Iraq's defeat in the Gulf War in 1991, terrorist training camps proliferated all over the country. One was right next to my ranch, 30 miles north of Baghdad on a branch of the Tigris River. The rural setting was ideal for such a facility. There were other camps, I learned later, which were even more remote, reachable only by helicopter. The buildings were so rudimentary that from the air they looked like Bedouin encampments. I got to know one of the commandos who knew of my high rank in the government and had become friendly with my sons. In a relaxed mood one day, he told me that the training included the use of gas masks and special protective clothing, an unmistakable hint that biowar was in the curriculum. Another reason to worry about Iraq: It has a huge underground network of spies and purchasing agents abroad. Bin Laden's agents reportedly

Do youself another favor and just use J-Pilot; I've given up on Evolution-pilot as it is incapable of synchronizing. All it can reliably do is copy from one location to another, which will produce duplicate records. When it tries to synchronize, it will get confused and delete records that shouldn't be deleted. Haven't tried with 1.2 yet, but my read of their development list archives doesn't inspire confidence that PDA work is very high on their list of priorities. snip My main reason for suggesting Evolution was that I couldn't get my Palm 505 to sync with JPilot either (using LM 9.0). However, setup and sync thru Evolution (1.2 admittedly) was no problem and after I had done that, syncing with JPilot worked as well. I have had no problems with Evolution in terms of duplicating records, and I can run my Avantgo client as well, which is important to me - I just don't like it that much as a mail client!

[expert] Postfix and ICMP
Some background... I use a Netcom modem/router/hub/firewall which runs embedded Linux for my connection to the internet...on my LAN I have one Mandrake 8.1 box and two WinME boxes. The Mandrake box is a simple server running Apache, Postfix and Squid mainly. The Netcomuses port forwarding on ports 80 25 (ONLY) to the Mandrake box. As you may have guessed, I have a problem... 8-) The problem is this: I receive mail and everything else just fine, and I can send small emails (under about 10-15k) just fine, but cannot send anything larger. If I try it will start to send then slow gradually until it comes to a grinding halt and eventually times out. As near as I can determine it's related to this: http://home.uninet.ee/~ragnar/manuals/postfix-19990906-pl02/faq.html#timeouts My knowledge is very limited, but obviously (?) I need to forward ICMP messages to the Mandrake box. My questions: How? What other ports should be forwarded?

I'll stop being a damn idiot, sir, when you stop making arguable statements and insulting whoever dares to challenge you. Or, as you said in another post, your American leadership. heh. Doing nothing is no answer. Trying to impose peace by force is no answer either. Tell it to the Jews and the English people. Anybody rooted in reality is not going to buy the bullshit you are shoveling. You are damn right i can tell that to the English, pal. Ghandi freed his country from them without firing a single bullet. If i see two guys having a fist fight, i can try to stop them by getting in the middle, in which case i would probably get beat by both of them. Or you can get the cops to break them up (BY FORCE), at which point the problem will be solved for awhile (LIKE IT WAS WITH KUWAIT AND IRAQ). And who is the world police? The US? I can try to make them calm down by talking to them, which is of course, useless. I can also sit and watch until it's over. It's your choice. Nations on middle-east are all populated by the same kind of people. Same origins, same look, same race. For some reason (religious, territorial, you name it) they have been killing each other for generations. Nothing will ever stop them from thinking their enemy is the enemy of their gods. Nothing will make them stop killing each other. How in the FUCK DO YOU KNOW? This country was founded on new ideas and I read the news, buddy. I study history.

I tried as you've noticed you're not going to be able to do individual package selection. I had to cruise past this part as you've done and allow it to install what its going to. Done that. OK Then it started post-installation configuration and asked for Disc #1. :) this sounds familiar. did the same thing to me so I skipped this part as well. it didn't appear to be a problem since the installation runs just fine. I did another attempt and it did not ask for disc1, it run right through! listing of devices and realized there was no network installed. I Then I hit the bar with the X configuration. It asked for my monitor as for config-ing the the display its been my experience to not do configure for anything as fancy as your Gforce card and wait till the system restarts after the install and then do your display config. ( its all part of the excitement and discovery of the beta version. ) No, this time it showed No network configured and No X configured but when I marked the bars and hit Continue I could configure X and network. Both run without tweaking now! I commenced without X and that was it. No option to create a bootdisk. I forgot: there was an option to install LILO but I passed it because it did not give me the option to have it on a bootdisk. Now I even got the option to create a bootdisk! What does not work is the integration of 9.1 in my main lilo.conf of 9.0. I am working on that. Until then I use the bootdisk. BTW: Someone early after start of the Beta cycle wrote about the wonderful new look with his fonts. I can't see that. I have the same look as in 9.0 as far as fonts are concerned. Without importing the ttf from my WIndows partition I have the same ugly look in console windows and X apps.
