Would it be possible (not extremely difficult) to use
Windows drivers under Linux? As there seems to be some shortage of them
(for example USB scanner drivers or some new GFX cards), it would be
a nice short term solution to be able to use existing Windows drivers.

I just did a "so-called" "upgrade" from RH 6.2 to RH 7.0 and I found that even
the Redhad provided SRPM for the installed kernel (2.2.16-22) would not compile
without errors. I grabbed a fresh 2.2.17 from www.kernel.org and I has the
same "pasting" problem as well as other problems.
The fix I found that permitted flawless compilation of the 2.2.17 kernel and
modules was to change the gcc to kgcc as follows:
HOSTCC = kgcc
and
CC = $(CROSS_COMPILE)kgcc -D__KERNEL__ -I$(HPATH)
The kgcc was already installed on the 7.0 system.
Although I have been able to compile two different kernels and a realtime-linux
patched kernel, I havn't been able to compile much of anything else and have it
work.

Your understanding is incorrect, sorry.
Alastair Houghton submitted a patch a while back, and I've resubmitted
that with minor changes to gcc folks. There are still issues to be
worked out however, and I'm working on it (as soon as I can get some
free time).
This patch is included in my x86-win32 binaries; if you're interested,
see my posting to gcc (aka egcs) mailing list at
http://egcs.cygnus.com/ml/gcc/1999-08/msg01076.html for more info.

Mumit

Subject: Handlind Packet Queues
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 11:27:17 +0200
I am working on a kernel module to modify the packet queues of the
devices, for example , I want to add new packets with different priorities
to the queue of the slip device.
I think each device has three queues.
dev->buffs[DEVNUMBUFFERS]
and I want to analyse the behaviour of the priorities queues under
cogestion circunstances.
My problem is that when I try to add new packets in my module, using
skb_queue_head();
the system fails, why??
I tried to make a clone of the sk_buff before queueing it but it does not
work.
Is it possible to do what I am trying to?
Can I modify this queues without corrupting them?
Do you know a better way to deal with this queues?

Hello
I would just like to know if anyone is planning on implementing ioctl
calls for the /proc filesystem like OSF1 and Solaris. So that we aren't
limited to doing "cat /proc/this/that" and parsing the ASCII.
Please e-mail any answers as well

At this point in time, you are correct. Linux isn't terribly suitable
at this time for the relatively computer-illiterate SOHO user. (That
being said, Windoze is only marginally more suitable...)

The problem is that this realistically requires deciding on *a GUI,* and
then building up a complete set of applications that are all coded using
that GUI.
The KDE and GNOME projects are directly trying to build "decent
integrated environments" with the view of trying to make something that
will be usable to "non-computer-professionals."
What they don't do is to try to take out the multi-user and CLI aspects
of Linux. I am extremely skeptical that this is of substantial value:
- if these things are hidden behind the GUI, they don't have to cause
the unsophisticated users any problems;
- taking them out would require *massive* architectural changes that
amount to needing to redesign something that already works;
- note in a home with several people, this mandates having some sort of
"multi-user" support;
- similarly, while users may not want to play with CLIs, *programs* may
want to do so...
