Highpoint 374 in 2.4, or only in 2.5?
Hi all, I have a new motherboard arriving Monday (at least it better arrive then, I paid for the three day shipping), an EPoX 8K5A3+, along with 512MB of Corsair PC3200 Cas2, XMS series. It's a VIA KT333 board, 4 PC2700 DDR slots, 6 PCI, 6 USB 2.0, a standard Via UDMA133 IDE controller, and a Highpoint 374 controller. Funny thing is, though, I see the option for "HPT366,368,370" in both 2.4.19 and 2.5.43, but the help section in 2.4.19 only lists 366,368, and 370, while the help in 2.5.43 lists all the way through 374. Does this mean in order to make use of my RAID controller I'm going to somehow make the 2.5 series stable enough until 2.6 is out, or can I just recompile my 2.4.19 kernel with the Highpoint driver? Also, has anyone ever had problems with as many as three different types of IDE controllers in the system? I'm not quite ready to get rid of my Promise UDMA100 card.

The Evil Empire Continues to Prosper
Just some excerpts below from a WSJ article on MS. The NYTimes ran a similar article. http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/technology/tech-tech-microsoft-earns.html (This requires registration, but, everyone should be registered with the NYTimes, anyway. It is free.) Of interest, in the NYTimes, one city in Canada switched a lot of its PC's over to StarOffice, cutting software costs 85%. But, even that guy said he would switch back to MS if MS lowered its price. It is very interesting that under their subscription plan, people who have continuously upgraded their software to the latest and greatest will save money, whereas the frugal types among their customers, those who haven't felt the need to upgrade frequently, will spend more. Certainly, there must be commercial opportunities here for alternative software vendors. I guess one challenge would be to find out who these frugal types are and approach them with alternatives. As usual, though, you would have to start at the top, since the lower down people will be likely MS droid's incapable of thinking in non MS terms. Warren Buffett emphasizes in his writings the importance of investing in companies which have a "franchise." That is, some sort of market share that allows it pricing power. For example, a farmer selling wheat is the worse possible investment, since he has no pricing power. He just sells an easily available commodity to the highest bidder. Wheat is wheat. There is no brand name here. Same for an airline. Tobacco, on the other hand is a good business. Addiction combined with brand loyalty, to quote Warren. So, give credit where is it due. MS has created 100's of millions of addicts with brand loyalty, in and out of business. Bill will now start to seriously squeeze them. This will be fun to watch, especially if you own MS stock. Now, that IS evil. Joel SEATTLE (AP) -- Microsoft Corp.'s profits more than doubled from a year ago as a new, controversial software licensing plan helped drive sales and insulate the company from the turmoil hitting the technology industry. The software giant also was able to stem losses from investments. For the three months ended Sept. 30, the Redmond-based software maker had a profit of $2.73 billion, or 50 cents a share, compared to net earnings of $1.28 billion, or 23 cents a share, for the same period a year ago. Microsoft cited a higher-than-expected enrollment in new, subscription-like licensing plans that require companies to sign multiyear agreements and pay annual fees in return for rights to software upgrades. The new plans also eliminate many discounts that companies could receive when they chose to upgrade. The company also announced Windows XP sales have hit 67 million since the new operating system was launched in October 2001. It also saw strong increases in revenue for its MSN Internet access service, as well as a 14 percent jump in sales for its server software and related products. ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Mandrake isa-pnp module prob
I installed the program. Got to the end and it asked , "do you want to update...?" I clicked the yes button. I heard the dial tone, the connect, and the message that I was successful (didn't hear that, saw it). But, when I try to use my internett hook-up, kppp, no go. So, I go to the Control center, click on and it finds my modem. A US Robotics 33.6. When I click on the configure button I get this message, "Modeprobe can't find module isa-pnp". Is the module somewhere on one of the install disks? Golly, wish I could help one of you! Instead always being a "Taker".

Re: Hpt370 and Slackware
Hi Per, I ended up scouring the manufacturer's website for info on Linux support and found (eventually) that there is a Linux-specific BIOS for that motherboard (Shuttle AK35GT2R Socket A). I also found a recomended driver which, as Frederico pointed out, may not be needed with newer kernels. As it turned out, the server upgrade has yet to take place due to other projects with higher priority but I'm hoping to be able to spend a little bit of time on it this weekend.

Re: CGI question: Getting form name to cgi script
OK. got ya.
perl does not care about form names, AFAIK.
you can get arrays parsed out from multiple checkboxs and drop down
menus but I know of no way to get an array from each form on a page
parsed out.
build the form with a call from the script and count up on the variable
names...
pic_name1,pic_name2
height1,height2...
width1,width2...
whatever
I take it you are reading from folders with opendir maybe?
maybe you know this, but, you can:
loop through the folder -
select the file types you want by extension -
grab image data from the graphics -
put the data into variables and parse a template substituting the
variables into form inputs -
or better yet
loop through the folder -
select the file types you want by extension -
display thumbs associated with checkboxs all with the same name, this
will allow multiple selects -
the parsed output by the script will give you an array of file names to
build your edit form with -
then for example...with the height width tag have a check box named
maintain_aspect_ratio, when checked they enter a number used as a
percentage and you can return a nicely scaled image -
a hidden input form tag is:
you can use these keep state or to tell the script what to do with the
data...
..
this is an example of passing to a form and using from a form with
cgi.pm and a hidden variable.
