Re: PCMCIA help needed

2002-02-19 Thread Roger Oberholtzer

For the intel PCMCIA at least, you may need to specify
which PCMCIA hardware you have. There are a number of chipsets
that the PCMCIA system does not automatically identify.

I think this is in a readme in the kernel sources, but as I
remember, check out /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia. One of the items
lets you say which type of PCMCIA interface there is. I know
nothing about Powerbook hardware, so I can say no more.

What gets printed in /var/log/messages when a card is inserted?

Yes, xfce is good.
 
Did you run xfce_setup as rick (your user name)?

You should have a .xinitrc file in your home directory (or you have a
.xfce directory in your home directory that contains a xinitrc file)
that should have the following section near the end. This is what mine
looks like. I added the -no to -lock-mode to avoid the passwording.

Re: CD-RW advice

2002-02-19 Thread Paul Moore

As best as I can tell, if the software supports Burnproof, then the software
and the Hardware will work together to eliminate Buffer Under Run problems.
In the case of ExacLink and Smartburn, the hardware would be the only thing
protecting you.

My opinion is to buy the LG, and test it out.  You should have 30 days to
return it.  Put it through the paces.  All the different technologies claim
to do the same thing, so for a $130 you can prove this to be true, or return
it, and get one that supports another technology.  Concerning the LG
hardware, it is the Oak OTI-9797 guts, and Oak is a desent company

Toss the over abundance of useless information that I have posted aside, and
go with this.  Sorry to confuse things!

Stepping Down from my soap box...

Re: CD-RW advice

2002-02-19 Thread Paul Moore

As for BurnProof vs SMART-burn, I have been told by many that they are the
same, but several articles I have read lead me to beleive they are
different, at the very least, they are different generations of the same
technology.  If you find a drive with SMART-burn, this is a copyright that
Lite-On holds, so you are getting a Lite-On drive.  When it comes to
Burnproof, I am not sure who owns this technology.  As for getting the
"Cheapest" drive, I would go for the cheapest drive with a good reputation.
i.e. Digital Research, Plextor, Pacific Digital.  If possible go directly
with Lite On hardware, so you can download the latest Firmware before the
OEM companies release it!  The following site has all the model numbers and
the latest firmware for Lite-On hardware.

http://www.liteonit.com/english-product-f.asp

As an added note, I purchased a Plextor 16x/10x/40x drive (A Lite On drive)
and flashed it with the Lite On firmware, and it worked great.  But be
aware, you take a LARGE risk when flashing with non-supported firmware.

Hope this helps, if not, let me know!

Hi Paul.
So what you're telling me is to buy the cheapest 24x burner I can find, 
since it's probly made by Lite-On, anyway. Is there a way of finding out 
who the actual manufacturer is?
As far as "Burnproof", or "SMART-burn", they all claim to have some 
variation on the theme. Are they all the same, or is one technology 
actually better than another?

The fact is most of the CD Burners stem from about 4 or 5 main manufactures.
Most "CLAIM" to make the CD Burner, but a close look at the Firmware will
show this to be a lie...  I know the three big ones are Yamaha, Lite On, and
HP.  I personally have had great luck with Yamaha, and Lite On, and my
current HP is at best just Ok.  To date, the majority of the 24X Burners are
all made by Light On, but be careful, most media is only tested up to 16X.
The key thing to look for is BurnProof, or SMART-burn technology.  As for
IDE vs SCSI, this argument could go on for years with no answer, I have both
and both work great.  I recommend IDE to anyone the hates trouble shooting
hardware problems, because SCSI will give you hardware problems

Fwd: New job postings (19-Feb-2002)

2002-02-19 Thread Michael Hipp

Doug,

As a suggestion, could we have the jobs categorized by location 
requirements.

Minimum would be: onsite-only, telecommute-only, or either. Could even add 
a parameter like "telecommute with requirement to be onsite X days per 
month".

Also, need to know if the job is direct or contract or job/project based.

I'm constantly on the hunt for projects and work, but I'm not leaving 
Arkansas for any amount of $$. So those with some sort of telecommute 
option are my only choice.

Michael

Re: SUN to broaden Linux support....

2002-02-19 Thread Matthew Carpenter

Of Course they're just jumping on the bandwagon!  Of Course it's to
further their own agenda...  Hopefully that agenda will simply stop
involving Solaris somewhere down the road.  SPARC hardware is pretty
darned impressive. I'd be interested in seeing Linux better supported on
it (not that the code isn't good, but I have not been able to get support
from anyone remotely related to Sun in order to try it out)

Yeah, I'd like to hear from Mike. I'm not sure what to think about all this. 
I understand the problem with DNS, but this goes way beyond all that and is 
starting to feel like a "palace coup d'etat."  I hope not, and I'm sure 
that's not Doug's intention, but that's the uneasy feeling I get.

I would _NOT_ like to see that happen especially as the site originated there 
under Mike Andrew. There have been problems in the past with the site
all of which I assume were to do with the ISP and traffic. Also doesn't Mike 
legally own the copyright to the linux.nf site and mirrors, or something ??

Well that penguin, and I dare say the Daiquiri are doing just fine. I'm very 
much alive and well thanks. I no longer have any 'influence' with the norfolk 
domain and have not had any for some months. As a result I was unable to keep 
the rubber band tightend up and oiled and the DNS crashed several times too 
often. 

The steps are bigger than linux.nf and the new name is an excellent and 
appropriate choice. Doug has done a tremendously good job with the Internet 
side of the Steps and the restrictive nature of the nf domain has prevented 
him, and others, from implementing even more goodies (aka jobs@). That said, 
your point is taken about the 'uniqueness' of having Norfolk Island in the 
soup and is indeed part of the magic.

linux.nf remains as a registered entity, mostly to do with the vested 
interests of several of the editors. But as a website and mailgroup it is 
time to move on.

Some years ago Abberfield Industies, UK used to supply a seven port master. 
It would time-slice between each 'user'. It utilised  frame buffers on 
specific video cards (Oak technology, Tseng eg) to keep the users apart and 
had no trouble time sharing keyboards and meeces (serial only).

I am only aware of an mgetty time-sharing tty replacement for use under Unix 
(supplied with the 7port black box), and this is going back a bit. There 
may/may not be a more robust gui update since then.

Feed google 'abberfield' and see what comes up.

PS be aware that as far as video is concerned, although it is of course 
possible to have a single vga, multiple pci (I have one for Autocad) , pci 
based vga cards are difficult to come by, and, afaik, Xfree does not support 
multiple video slots. Although this was supposed to happen at Xfree 4.x  
my pathetic attempts at trying it, got me no-where.

Norfolk Island

G'day all,

Are we permitted to know what happened to Norfolk Island.  I rather liked 
the idea of an obscure little island telling the world all about Linux.  I 
really miss the logo of a relaxed penguin with its daiquiri.

Cheers,  Rick
