Very nice, but quite removed from any actual facts. There are lots of
things you might be unaware of. Such as, for example, that I was logged
in over a phone line on an expensive daytime connection from a 486 with
8M ram running X with a stuck N key. Those little things make it
imperative to judge how much you are going to say, and how long to take
to say them. My instructions work fine, were helpful and polite and useful.
What are you going on about?

He's using the ide-scsi module, so the SCSI subsystem is what's
accessing the drive, even though the physical interface is IDE.

So instead of telling him the proper way to do things, you give him a band-

Simon,
I probably had the same internal modem as you. It has no
jumpers on the card to set, and I couldn't get it to work under RH6.2.
I returned it and purchased a 3Com U.S.Robotics 3CP5610A internal
modem. No problem setting it up. It will work under MS Windows and
Linux.

Actually.. one of the most shocking tests, for the voodoo 3 3000 anyway, was
that the PCI version was marginally FASTER then the AGP version.  You have
to remember, despite all the hype, PCI is right on par with AGP 1x and 2x.
This of course doesn't apply to AGP 4x with or without sidebands, but since
we are talking about a voodoo3, that really doesn't matter.  Other then the
already stated increase in resolution and refresh rates for your 2D stuff,
you won't notice as much of a difference as you would if you were a gamer.
If nothing else, you will have pretty darn good support for OpenGL stuff
with the 3DFX card. (Mesa, etc).  .   I have a voodoo3 2000 in my test box
at home and have been very pleased with it.  Just do yourself a favor and
make sure you have some fans or something blowing inside that box as the
voodoo 3 does double as a toaster oven.  Good Luck.

Sure.  I have not yet written the code to put ascii or other handling
into the PDQ files.  In the meantime, you can simply print everything
via postscript.  It's not quite as fast, but it'll work.

You should be able to print fine from other programs by specifying a
suitable pdq command or just xpdq instead of lpr.

Hi there,

I guess that you can not use this system for RAID. As I understood you plan to
use IDE Ultra66 controller. This controller has only two IDE channels which in
it's own order allow connect only two master drives. Only master drives should
be used for RAID. Best what you can to do use two controllers to get 4 master
IDE drives. You can not use master and slave drives by reason that one of two
drives will wait for another - what will decrease performance. If your data
critical you have to use RAID5 and it suppouse to have at least 3 drives.

Hi Trent!
   Thanks for the response!  I'm planning on using the board in a server so
graphics display ability is not really an issue - it will be part of a cluster
and only need the console for boot up and diagnostics, no real display.  From
what I understand, the HE is designed for mid to high end servers and the LE for
the low to mid range servers... I'll be getting about 10 of these beasts and I
doubt if the HE (with Xeon processors) would be really cost effective...

The reason it says your partition is too big it because disk
druid dosen't know any better that your going to use a
floppy to boot.
If you use fdisk it will work perfectly fine. THats what I
did. My linux program starts on the 2201 cylinder, and I can
easily boot it from a floppy. Just use fdisk.

RedHat 6.0 shipped with Xfree86 3.3.3.1, which doesn't support the TNT2.
Support for the TNT2 was added in Xfree86 3.3.4 and pretty much
perfected for 2D in 3.3.5 (shipped with RH 6.1, SuSE 6.2, Mandrake 6.5,
and many other distros.)  If you wish to get things working, you can
