You're doing it wrong.

Try rolling your left hand out to hit the Ctrl key.  You should be
hitting it with the joint just below your pinky finger.  Alt is an
annoying reach, but I usually get it with my left ring finger.

If you're not doing it this way now, try it in Emacs without first
having your fingers on the keyboard.  See what keys your index and
middle fingers are over.

thanks for getting serious, Lew,

it's the overall requirem,nt that i talked about, but astll a comment to Martha: i 
don't
think that engineers work hundreds of years (100 men multiplied by 1 yera are 100 
working
years) to build efficient cooling technology, while one private man or even a group of
enthusiastic private men build a very own cooling circuit and feed it with melted 
snow...
Not that I think bad about you, but how old are you again?

No offense please, but this is a serious and important point while thinking about 
getting
such a system into operation (the operating system might be the least important part)

Regards,
Jagged

Hi Matthias,
try the eepro10 driver, which is a standard driver.
My card is EtherExpress Pro/ISA and uses also the I82595 chipset.

Hi all,

my USB-Scanner Epson 610 doesn't work with sane from SuSE7. The
USB-module
recognized the scanner correctly, and xscaneimage and xsane are starting
up
to the preview window. During startup a message appears on the
commandline.

  (not exactly, but nearly)

  [epson] unknown type R or level K, using B3

If I try to scan the program causes an error. What's the cause?

yours Dirk

PS: I edited the modules.conf and /etc/sane.d/epson.conf as described by
Karl Heinz Kremer. The kernelmodul-stuff seems to work fine. But sane
does not.

here is what i've got set wrt my sym8751sp card

# CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX=y
CONFIG_SCSI_NCR53C8XX_DEFAULT_TAGS=8

you might want to set symbios compatibility since you aren't running
an old ncr chipset.  this will enable some minor improvements and new
capabilities of the 53c875 over an old revision of 53c810.

In my time I have found this. MS has written things into the OS
that are intended to prevent on from "having fun." Now I could
forgive a lot but not that. 

Do not write to prevent me from doing things, period. I get
upset and nasty when that happens. And I have been hacking PCs
since the Atari 800 before Boca Roton existed. 

I would not be happy if GMC sold cars that only worked with one
brand of gasoline either. I got the same problem with MS because
they are. 

Simplest is this. 

I do not have a DVD drive. But since it supports DVD regional
releases ... EF it it! [Yes, I know where and how to clear the
registry and I am pissed that is "secret" info.]

You are now in hog heaven, buddy. They don't always publically
support it but whatever your harware they will often send you the
Linux driver where they developed it but don't publically talk
about because of MS. Email them and find out.

There is a big crowd. It it formign down the street. Join us. 

And I will do better than what you have said. Do a search on

their contractual araingments. 

No on in their right mind woudl permit that. But MS does.

I have a Diamond Fireport 40 here in my computer at home. It works well.

If you have more money, two companies to look at are digitalscape (
http://www.digitalscape.com ) which has a good combo Ethernet/Ultra
SCSI board that I have in my computer at the office (but you must upgrade
the yellowfin driver from Donald Becker's latest to use the network part), 
and IntraServer ( http://www.intraserver.com ) which is very supportive of
Linux -- when I had a problem with not having an up-to-date driver they
told me where to go to get a new driver, they didn't say "huh? Linux? Is
that a brand of air conditioning?".
