[expert] PPP over serial line (without a modem)
Hello, I try to connect my notebook with my PC over a null-modem cable (without a modem). On my PC I start a getty and with the help of this getty, I'm able to login via serial line e.g. with minicom. That works very fine. But my problem is, that I will have a PPP-connection (to export my display over this serial line network...). Can anybody give me a hint? Marion
Re: [expert] corrupt isapnp.conf
don't use sndconfig (will change your isapnp.conf everytime), read read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Sound/AWE32.txt (there you can find the right settings) if you have any questions, mail to me, an AWE32 is perfectly running with my Mandrake. Good Luck Marion

Re: [expert] problems with xcdroast
Hi, thanks to all tried to help me. I switched SCSI-emulation on in the kernel, nothing changed. My burner is available, but not my CD-ROM neither in xcdroast nor in keasycd. Is there a bootparameter to tell the kernel to use SCSI-emulation with my CDROM (/dev/hdd)? Marion
[expert] problems with xcdroast
Hi, xcdroast 0.96e does not recognize my IDE-CDROM (TEAC 32x) on /dev/hdd, so I can not make direct copies and have to copy a CD with the help of an image. Can anybody help me to solve the problem, or know anybody another burning programm that offers the ability for a direct copy? Marion
Re: [expert] TV PCI
Hi, try "modprobe msp3400" as root and start kwintv again. This module will bring you support for your stereo TV-tuner. By Marion

Can anybody tell me, how I configure a kernel for a K7-500? The only way it runs at this time is to chose a 386 CPU in kernelconfiguration. Marion

John Connell wrote: > I have an STB Bt878 TV PCI card on my system that I would love to get > working in Mandrake. Hi, include Bt848 support in the kernel as a module, after booting you have to load these modules (I think it is isp or so, bttv, tuner, msp3400 if you have a stereo tuner) but read the /usr/src/linux/Dokumentation/ about bttv, there are all parameters described. Look for "xawtv" or "kwintv" on e.g. freshmeat.net, compile, install and run on of these programms. IMHO kwintv is the better choice. If you have any problems, write me, I will mail you the bttv-part of my conf.modules. Please mail your name of your TV-Card if it won't work. Marion
