Michel,
You are a definite godsend!
You would not believe the troubles I have had for 2 weeks with trying to
connect. (just see my "BULLSHIT" post at the top of the list.)
Unbelievable how your 1 sentence advise at the bottom of this post was the
answer to my prayers. Everyone else had me running ragged changing
everything but my underwear :)
Thanks Again,

Date: Sun, 08 Aug 1999 08:53:29 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi all, I am a linux newbie. I tried to install Red Hat 6.0 but was
facing problem.
I have 2 HDDs: FB ST2.1(as Pri Master), FB CR8.4(as Sec Master).
I partitioned the HDDs as follow, using Windows FDISK:
1. FB ST2.1:Pri DOS - C: 1512MB, FAT16, active, (Win98)
Ext DOS - E: 502MB, FAT16, (used)
2. FB CR8.4:Pri DOS - D: 1937MB, FAT16, (used)
Ext DOS - F: 2047MB, FAT16, (unused)
- G: 1985MB, FAT16, (unused)
- 2078MB, (unallocated)
I tried installed Red Hat 6.0 from CD-ROM, but when come to
partitioning, FDISK warned me that my 2nd drive's cylinder size is
>1024 (IIRC 1027). I was not sure what to do, so I just go back and
select Disk Druid instead of FDISK. Then I was able to add 2 Linux
Native partitions(1Gb each) from my hdc (the 2nd drive). Then I wish
to add Linux Swap but error msg said "No free primary" (there are 79MB
left actually).
Also, I have no idea about some options in Disk Druid:
1. Mount point?
2. Drop to fill disk?
3. Allowable HDD? (there have hda and hdc)
What are those options for and what should I enter?
More doubts:
1. Will it be harmful if I Ctrl+Alt+Del at any point in Linux?
2. Should I FDISK the HDD 100% using Windows FDISK before installing
Linux?
3. Will Linux installation auto detect all my hardwares, especially
CD-ROM, soundcard, mouse, k/b, and modem? If not, how do I install it
into Linux system?
4. How to install software downloaded into Li

The ISO/ANSI C standard requires that main() return type int.
Defining main() to return void invokes undefined behavior unless
it is documented by the compiler (and with gcc it is not).

Indeed it is byte alignment! At the end of the structure,
allowing the next object to begin on a appropriately aligned
address.
Here is a replacement main() function which you can use to
demonstrate where the padding is inserted.
#include
int
main(void)
{
fprintf(stderr,"%u, %u, %u, %u \n",
sizeof(time_t),
sizeof(T0),
sizeof(T1),
sizeof(T2));
fprintf(stderr, "%u %u %u %u %u %u %u\n",
offsetof(struct Test2, X0),
offsetof(struct Test2, X1),
offsetof(struct Test2, X2),
offsetof(struct Test2, X3),
offsetof(struct Test2, X4),
offsetof(struct Test2, X5),
offsetof(struct Test2, X6));
return 0;
}

If you make additions to the PATH variable with a statement like,
PATH=~/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
in the wrong place it will indeed become a loop. Files
/etc/profile and the first of ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login or
~/.profile that is found will be sourced by the login shell, and
using a recursive assignment will be fine in one, and only one,
of those files.
But if that is in ~/.bashrc or the file specified by ENV it will
be added again each time a subshell is spawned.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, they are AMD K6-2s. The question I have is whether I can switch
from an Intel Pentium to an AMD K6-2 processor (using the Spectra
upgrade) without having to recompile or make any changes in Linux. If
major changes are required, I might as well get a new motherboard and
processor (for about the same price), but if I can save doing anything
to Linux and reinstalling Windows, then the Spectra could be a good
deal.

Just wondering if it's one of those that is attached to the sound card.
THOSE need a driver before the system can access it ( as does the
sound card ).
If so, you probably can hook it up directly to a spare IDE channel and
forget about needing the additional driver.
Good Luck!

Hello all, I'm running Redhat 6.0 with latest tulip.c driver. I have
three LNE100TX network cards installed.
I originally staged a setup at 10mb, and it worked perfectly. But now
that I'm trying to install it in our 100mb network, it doesn't work!
When I tried it again at 10mb, it worked perfectly. I've tried booting
Linux with it connected to the 100mb LAN on the off-chance it needed to
be booted at that speed, but no luck.
Any ideas? All three cards exhibit the same behavior.
Much thanks,
Tim Behrendsen

Hi Linux Netters,
I managed to connect through a dialup PPP using wvdial -- a wonderfull
PPP with an auto reconnect feature. Aside from using wvdial, I am also
using a free dynamic DNS service provided by justlinux.com. I
downloaded a copy of jlclient-1.1.tar.gz utility from www.justlinux.com
to updating the dns. Unfortunately, this jlclient does not automatically
update the DNS when wvdial reconnect. In other words, when the ISP
disconnects the line and the wvdial kicks in to make a dialup
connection, the DNS did not get updated with the new IP. So, how can
one use the wvdial to let the jlclient update to the
dyndns.justlinux.com so that the new IP gets registered with the
dyndns.justlinux.com?

Subject: PnP Kernel and PnP Modem
Date: Sun, 08 Aug 1999 19:30:40 GMT
Hi all,
I'm running Slakware 4.0 and have compiled my Kernel to include PnP
support.
I can't get my Pace 56 internal PnP modem to work. This is NOT a win
modem.
I also can't get my Creative Sound blaster 16 PnP to work
Do I still need to be using isapnp or setserial despite having a PnP
OS
Do I need now to enable PnP OS option in my BIOS (doesn't seem to help
if I do)?
Would life be easier if I took out the PnP support from my kernel and
used ISAPNP instead ?
Is there any documentation anywhere about the implications of using a
PnP kernel ? for instance are the Modem-Howto and other documents
still relevant ?
Any help for this relative newbie would be very much appreciated.
Kevin

Which demonstrates that the padding follows the last member of that
struct. Each of the char members are allowed to be aligned in one
byte increments with no padding between. The initial member must
be at the same address as the struct (offset zero), hence the struct
itself must be properly aligned for the 4 byte time_t member that
is first. The padding is added to allow an array of structs to
be declared.
Here is the appropriate text from the Standard, Section 6.5.2.1:
"Each non-bit-field member of a structure or union object is
aligned in an implmementation-defined manner appropriate to
its type.
Within a structure opbject, the non-bit-field members and
the units in which bit-fields reside have addresses that
increase in the order in which they are declared. A pointer
to a structure object, suitably converted, points to its
initial member (or if that member is a bit-field, then to
the unt in which it resides), and vice versa. There may
therefore be unnamed padding within a structure object,
but not at its beginning, as necessary to achieve the
appropriate alignment.
The size of a union ...
There may also be unnamed padding at the end of a structure
or union, as necessary to achieve the appropriate alignment

Netscape probably crashed. You can see if there is still a lock file which
would be ~/.netscape/lock
If you do you will want to delete it before you start up Netscape again or
you won't be able to save bookmarks and such.
Netscape does this once in a great while for me, don't know what.

I've just upgraded RedHat 5.2 to 6.0. I can start X as root with

Okay, no, welcome to the wonderful world of software and no reason

even older versions did not crash and burn all the time. Even with

Subject: new?? Netscape bug
Date: Mon, 09 Aug 1999 00:35:47 GMT
I've downloaded and installed the Netscape 4.6 RPM on a RedHat 6.0 system. I'm
seeing a problem that I can duplicate. I'm creating a new message - either
email or newsgroup - and I want to include a link from from my bookmarks.html
file. I select the site out of bookmarks (in the browser) so that its url is
in the location box. If I try to click and drag the mouse across it the url
will be partically selected then will freeze the system hard - no keyboard, no
mouse. I can't even ctrl-alt-bksp.
My question is if anyone else is having that problem? I can pretty much
duplicate it at will on my machine but haven't seen any mention of it in the
col groups or on Netscape's site (leading me to belive it's just my
configuration). I've verified the fontpath for X, have tried having fewer
apps open - all to no avail.
TIA,
Bill

A good point. And Sierra-Leone is a close second . (Although they

I'm no great expert either, but I can tell you

the connection protocoll uesd by most ISP's.
AFAIK, all ISP's. I believe the command to

Anyway, do a man on PPP and PPPdial. IIRC There

Hi Gaiko,
I'm experiencing the exact same problem. Although my SCSI adapter is an
Adaptec AHA1540CF and I'm running RedHat.
My primary boot disk is an IDE and I thought I'd add an old SCSI control I
had lying around. I discovered after loading the kernel source that the
driver for the aha154x cards will only try to autodetect the cards at two
I/O addresses (0x330 and 0x334). After setting my card to use I/O address
0x334, I was able to load the driver manually using: insmod 1542 and then
manually mounting the attached drives.
For some reason the kernel will not automatically detect and load the
aha1542 driver during the boot process. I too always get the "zero scsi
hosts detected message" I even tried (without success) recompiling the
kernel to include SCSI support and t
