Subject: Advice: tape archive sol'n for Linux
I need to provide a solid backup solution for a small SW startup. I'm
investigating the options for us--we intend to be a Linux shop, and I'm
wondering what people advise in terms of optimal combination of price,
quality, and Linux-support.
I hear "buzz" that DLT is the best technology, that DAT sucks.
any comments?

The problem with the digital hinote is that you can only use one device
at a time, either the floppy or cdrom, but not both. I couldnt get the
LISA floppy boot creation program to work off cdrom. When it prompted
for the floppy drive, I would swap it out and the system would detect
the new floppy, but the install program gives an error saying that
drive A: is not a floppy device.

My scanner freaked out when I tried connecting it to a Buslogic BT-948.
It seems to prefer crappy old SCSI cards. I would guess that it depends
on the scanner.

I'm not sure if this is still true but there was a problem in the
past with WP vrs the lp spooler. The problem is that WP is producing
the data already formatted with the control characters for your printer.
It then prints it via the spooler which does it own round of formatting.
The common thing the print spooler does is convert anything thats not
already Postscript into postscript and then pass the postscript data to
the "ghostscript" program which then generated the codes for your
printer.
So you see the WP output is likely getting converted into postscript
and then it tries to convert it back to printer codes. Since the WP
output is filled with control characters it doesn't really convert to
postscript and you get junk or blank pages.
The way I've solved this in the past is to create a "raw" print spool
that doesn't do any formatting. Something like this should do it:
raw:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/raw:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:sf:\
:lp=/dev/lp1:
With the /dev/lp1 possibly changed to what your lp device is on.
Once you have this change WP to print to the "raw" spooler and it
should work fine!
PS: the other way to fix this is to tell WP that you really have
a postscript printer. Then it will generate postscript which the
normal lp spool will pass through to ghostscript which will convert
it for your printer. While this will work fine, in the past I saw
better results in letting WP generate the printer codes directly.

i had the same problem with my Viper550 AGP card, it almost drove me crazy...
i WAS using XFree86 version 3.3.2 - which will NOT work (i later found out)
you have to go to http://www.xfree86.org and download and install the newest
version of Xfree86, version 3.3.3.1 - that one will work with RIVATNT chipset
cards...
one more thing, when i installed Xfree86 v.3.3.3.1 i could no longer use
"Xconfigurator" - it crashes, so i had to use "xf86config" which worked well.
it still couldn't detect the amount of RAM on my video card, so i had to go
into /etc/X11/XF86Config and remove the # from in front of the 'memory' line in
the video card definition, and type in the amount (for me it was 16384, which
is 16M)...
hope this helps... good luck!

So, all this talk about winmodems, sounds like a challenge to an experienced
linux driver programmer out there! Isn't it just a matter of figuring out

it myself if I wasn't a total newbie (< 1 month) at linux!

No manual entry for fdformat

I too am having the same sort of problem, particularly with X. I have had
Red Hat 5.2 with KDE 1.1 running fine using an AMD K6 233 Mhz processor.
This is on an AOpen AX59Pro motherboard using the VIA MVP3 chipset, 192Mb of
SDRAM, and the motherboard running at 66Mhz. No problems at all. I could
use the Creative Banshee card (Darryl Strauss's server) and Creative's
driver for the Sound Blaster Live sound card.
I then upgraded the processor to an AMD K6-3 400Mhz. This was a mistake.
The Banshee X server usually crashes before it completes loading KDE, or
crashes as soon as I move the mouse. The system does not exit the failed
server neatly, often leaving me with a blank screen, from which the only
exit is a reboot. This doesn't exit Linux cleanly and I have to run fsck to
restore the filing system!
I have replaced the motherboard, tried PC100 SDRAM, bought a new heatsink
and fan, but it makes no difference. Error messages often refer to
segmentation faults or "SIG 11". Is there really a problem with the newer
AMD processors? A solution, or even a believable explanation would be very
welcome.
The machine works fine with Windows 95!

If your prospective cable modem ISP uses a cable modem that plugs into a
normal NIC, then it should work just fine so long as the NIC itself is
supported by Linux. Also, some cable modem ISPs require you to log in via
their log-in program. If this is the case, there will most likely be no
version of it for Linux (only Windoze and Mac). RoadRunner does this, and
in response, Linux users have written third-party log-in programs for RR.
I, myself, fit into that category and have been using Linux over my cable
modem happily for nearly a year now.

At least when you start X xmodmap is normaly used to setup the keyboard.
So one could type xmodmap on the prompt to see the settings in X.
Here is my .Xmodmapfile from my home-dorectory which was working on SUSE
since 5.0 (I first ran DLD1.3 which was a german ditro in '95) and ever
before! (It is for german keyboard only!!):
