Subject: LinkSys EtherFast 10/100 & Redhat7.0
Date: 22 Nov 2000 00:18:05 GMT
I'm trying to install the driver for a LinkSys EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card
V4.1 with Redhat 7.0. According to the LinkSys page it should work with
the tulip.o driver that comes with Redhat but it doesn't.
I've tried following the instructions in the linksys page and they don't work.
I've tried following the instructions on the www.scyld.com page and they don't
work either. I was told that there was an archive that included tulip.c
and a makefile on the linksys page but I cannot find it.
If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

May or may not make a difference but I just put the hostname ( tactus )
and not the FQDN in the hosts.lpd file with an entry in hosts.
Also I don't think you should have two instances of lpd running. I saw
this before when there was bad data in printcap, lpd would not function.
The second instance was a fork from the first that was hung.

That's a good question. Netscape generates an error on save
when you don't have sufficient privilege or when the directory
just doesn't exist.
Could be that mysterious malady that affects users on my LAN:
lost files. The whole problem stems from the user not having
mastered mental directory tree traversal. A trivial matter to
old hands that apparently isn't so trivial. I've yet to find a
method of explaining the hierarchical structure of directories
in a way that is certain to click. I guess it's one of those
topics that each must find their own understanding on.
(remember that moment--long, long ago--when linked lists
clicked? I do :-)

I do not remember if this is right. If you turn off ICANON, do you really need to turn
off ECHOE?
The man page says:
ECHOE if ICANON is also set, the ERASE character erases
the preceding input character, and WERASE erases
the preceding word.
But in your case, ICANON is NOT also set.

I do not see it, but I have not done that kind of thing since about 1991 or so, so I
would not
expect to see it. What I would suggest, however, is to copy _oldio (whereever that is)
into newtio
first, and then change only the bits you absolutely must change. I know I could never
get it right
by setting everything up the way I thought it should be.

For my next trick, I will now answer my own question:
It turns out that LILO was never loaded. I remember now that I got an error
at the end of configuration in lilo.conf. It seemed to be related to the
name I gave the Linux system ("RH Linux 6.2"). Maybe no spaces allowed or
too long? When I renamed it to just "Linux" and reran /sbin/lilo, lilo
executed without errors, and I can now dual boot.
I hope this may be helpful to someone in the future. Sorry to post a
question I could have answered myself.

The second way is the correct order -- make and install modules after
making everything else.
When recompiling the same version of the kernel that you are already
using, it often helps to rename the module directory that you're
using, so that the new compile uses its own module directory. Try "mv
/lib/modules/2.2.12 /lib/modules/2.2.12.old", then "make
modules_install" again. Otherwise you get depmod confusion because of
old modules that weren't replaced.
But if you're recompiling the kernel anyway, I'd recommend just
downloading 2.2.17 or (if it's released yet) 2.2.18, since a lot has
been fixed since 2.2.12. See ftp.kernel.org.

Top is NOT talking about ONE processor. When I set it up to be running 2
setiathomes at Nice 19 and running an IBM DB2 client program that does
parallel processing on two CPUs at the same time (i.e., all four of these in
the ready queue at the same time and all the time), the CPU utilization goes
up to 100% (i.e., idle is at 0.0 all the time). Actually, I do not need to
beat it that hard. Just the setiathomes are enough. One setiathome can run one
processor 100% of the time, but top then indicates that the system is around
50% idle.
Here is how it looks at the moment.

EACH of those setiathomes are taking about 93% of a CPU. My machine is not
very busy with real work right now, or the %CPU of the setiathomes would drop
due to their high (meaning unlikely to run) PRI and NI values.
Kernel compiles only take things up to 50%; they are very fast on this
machine. (I also have 2 10,000rpm hard drives on an Ultra-2 SCSI controller,
and 512Megabytes 100MHz ECC SDRAM.)
Top does not need to know how many processors I have. It needs to know only
the total cpu power (2x 550.5 bogomips), and it knows what % of that is being
used. You can see about the same thing by running xosview, which certainly
does know about the two CPUs. It shows the load on each CPU (user, system,
nice, and idle), and the interrupts that are being handled by each CPU.
I can run etop as well, and it DOES show useage for each CPU separately, in a
way similar to what is shown by xosview.

Several minutes per page for something like a busy Netscape page, or a typical

I seem to remember hearing that parallel port support only works when installed as a
module.
All distributions I have run into include the module for parallel port support out of
the
box.
I have always recompiled my kernel, being pretty much old-school. However, I have been
wrestling with RH7 lately, and I have never run into so many problems. This is not a
happy
situation for the Linux community if we lose the ability to do our own kernels.

Well you did, and you probably chose the (default) US keyboard (or
microsoft 101 key, don't recall what it was called during setup) layout.
I did the same, as I use a MS keyboard (I live in Holland though)

Yep, I have written a script that moves stuff to trash and have it
aliased to rm
There's hardly any overhead, I can still use the original rm by either
specifying the entire path, or escape rm from t

Hi,
I've been trying to compile Dia 0.86 on Mandrake 7.1 but get reports of
missing config scripts during ./configure.
The last messages output by configure are:
*** The libart-config script installed by LIBART could not be found
*** If LIBART was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the LIBART_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to libart-config.
checking for gdk-pixbuf-config... no
checking for GDK_PIXBUF - version >= 0.7.0... no
*** The gdk-pixbuf-config script installed by GDK_PIXBUF could not be found
*** If GDK_PIXBUF was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GDK_PIXBUF_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to gdk-pixbuf-config.
checking for imlib-config... no
checking for IMLIB - version >= 1.8.0... no
*** The imlib-config script installed by IMLIB could not be found
*** If IMLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the IMLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to imlib-config.
I can query the RPM database and see that the packages related to these
config scripts are installed, but I still can't find the actual scripts
themselves.
I'd appreciate some insight on how to resolve this situation.
Thanks,
- Jonathan

Suses Yast contains a LILO-Config-Tool, which you can use.
Manually it would something like:
/etc/lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/hda
read-only
prompt
timeout=100
# Suse 6.2
image=/boot/vmlinuz (use _your_ kernel-image file from Suse6.2 here!)
root=/dev/hda1
label=Suse6.2
# Suse 7
image=/mnt/path_to_mounted_suse7/boot/vmlinuz
root=/dev/hda2
label=Suse7
Note: Use _one_ version of Suse to configure LILO or adapt _both_
lilo.conf-files accordingly. Don't forget to run lilo after editing
/etc/lilo.conf.
Hope it helps,
Lars

you would send it to local mailserver, and it would queue it and
send away when link comes up. You have two options - you may send it
directly to recipients (which may be time consuming and not recommended
for dialup hosts) or define SMART_HOST, i.e host which knows how to send
mail further in your mailserver configuration. Of course, you should use
SMTP server of your provider as smarthost.

If you do not mind reading books, you may find:

But mc doesn't ensure recovery surely. From the help:
On Linux systems, if you asked configure to use the ext2fs
undelete facilities, you will have the undelete file
system available.
Presuming it is installed, it is no
