I had this fight with an external SCSI PLextor CD burner this past week. However, ide-scsi stuff has no relation to SCSI hardware, its only for IDE. My IDE CD burner at home is accessed as /dev/sr0. The SCSI burner at work can be mounted as /dev/sdd0 (very weird), but when i go to burn, i don't even bother with the device, i just use the scsibus,target,lun format in cdrecord. You could also use this for the IDE burners, BTW. = Lonni J. Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux FAQ & Step-by-step help:http://netllama.ipfox.com . __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: exucutimg binaries
In order to get rid of BM, you need to use a BM rescue floppy or BM installed on a windows partition. You will break things if you try fdisk /mbr from a dos/win boot floppy and if you try to overwrite it with either grub or lilo. Personally, I wish that Caldera hadn't offered it, but it was a stop-gap method when lilo had the 1024 cyl barrier. I don't know why they had it on eD2.4 since grub was offered and installed by default when one used Lizard to install. Is BM and/or PM offered with eW3.1 box set? If so, we'll keep getting questions and problems with people using it. I think Caldera was the only distro that offered this.

Re: OV511 (USB camera)
Well, since I don't have the experience that you have with digital cameras, I'm glad to know that I'm wrong. I was going from memory on what I've read. This memory can be faulty. I've heard good and bad with devfs. I personally don't want to use it since some hardware/software want's to use the standard /dev/* and you have to create soft links to get some stuff to work. It's still too new but will be nice once it is fully designed and implemented and software supports it fully.

re: Suse vs Mandrake decision
Thanks to the folks who offered their opinions of Mandrake vs. Suse. A couple of questions for those who have tried Mandrake 8.0: 1. Does the "standard" Mandrake 8.0 include all the usual stuff (Sever tools such as Samba, MySQL, etc.. and development tools, etc...), or are these available only in the "power pack" advertised on the Mandrake website? I wasn't able to clarify that myself on their website (the "comparison" page was broken). I'm wondering if there's really any extra value for me in the power pack. 2. Is the web-browser ready-to-go (with all plug-ins, etc... already working)? 3. Have others experienced the same "ugly font" problem and problems loading Star Office that Geoff has cited? Has anyone out there had any problems with installing Suse and getting things to work properly? Again, any further comments from anyone concerning either of the new Mandrake or Suse distributions are welcome. Thanks again, Mel __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

I like that series. One of my favorite features is the built-in PCI network card, if you have that option. At least on the T20, the earlier ones were 3com, the later ones were Intel. (my preference) It makes it way easy for networking in such a case because the Intel drivers are virtually identical to the desktop ones, no PCMCIA drivers necessary.

AFAIK, if you tell Opera to masquerade as say Netscape, there is a portion of that string that still identifies it as Opera. (same goes for IE's original aping of Netscape) There are some various things that can be used to ascertain the capabilities of a browser, many of them being javascript.

Re: OV511 (USB camera)
Must say Mike that i do not know the 'Puretek", is this a webcamera or a full digital ? Why did you pick up on the OV511, any particular reason ? I have a logitech webcam which is not supported by the latest kernels also my digitals which again are not. Have you tried gphoto ??

Re: SuSe vs. Mandrake decision
I have installed Mandrake 8.0 on a couple of machines. The good news is it installs very easily, even on pretty new hardware. I like the compatibility with RH RPMs so most software is available for it. I have had good luck getting CDRW to work and some difficulity getting DVD to work but that may be a problem with the drivers for my video card. btw...the cdrecord version that comes with the install needed to be updated from rpmfind.net before I could get the CDRW to actually burn cds. The bad newsI have had trouble loading Star Office 5.2 and WordPerfect 8. I have also had some issues with the flip/flop from lilo to grub and back to lilo as the default loader from earlier versions of Mandrake. I like grub and MDL 8.0 uses lilo. I find the printer system (CUPS) does not seem to work as well as what I was used to with Caldera. It drives my HP855C pretty slowly. The print quality is good but very slow. Also, I find print queue management not to work as well as Caldera. If you want to kill a print job, it is not as responsive. The ugly fonts problem is there in spades in KDE, Konqurer, other stuff and I have not yet found a good solution even following all the HOW-TO and other hints.

Re: kppp on valium
If you do a man pppd and search idle ( /idleCR does that where CR means the enter key), you will see the parameter idle n which stops your side of the ppp connection after n seconds of inactivity (saves you money if you forget to drop the line here in the UK...). The line idle 180 (3 minutes) could be inserted anywhere in your file /etc/ppp/options. There is of course an identical feature at the ISP's box. Since ISP's exist to make money (perhaps to save money in institutions such as a University), they could very well adjust this parameter when your matching pppd starts at the ISP, dependin on the day and time at which you connect, so as to serve more customers on the same number of phone lines. Essentially, what this means is that if your ISP has an automatic disconnect time that you can have another program "simulate activity" (ping) until the end of time and it won't matter...it's still going to disconnect you. I don't know of many ISP's that don't have some such system in place, perhaps yours doesn't. There is one ISP here in the UK that disconnects you after 4 minutes of inactivity (which I can't believe they do as one can spend more than 4 minutes reading articles on a site easily). Try setting your idle seconds to about 1800 and see if it makes a difference, I know that it did with mine.

CD burner in SuSE 7.2
Hi, Group: I am trying to set up my CD-R/RW drive in accordance with the instructions in "CD-Burners - IDE" in the SxS. I'm able to mount the CD burner drive okay, but the file manager shows a readme.txt file on a brand-new CD-RW disk with the following text message: This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification. Does this mean I will not be able to use these RW disks on SuSE 7.2? Any ideas?

Reiserfs and SuSE 7.2
Hi, Group: I installed the boxed 'Personal' edition of SuSE 7.2 last night, and it appears to be a real winner. One thing that perplexes me, though, is that when I installed SuSE 7.1, I was offered the option of installing with Reiser file system support. But when I installed version 7.2, I found no such option. Was gibt? I know 7.2 supports reiserfs. Can this be added/change post-install? And if it's possible to add or change the fs type, is it a good idea to do so, post-install? Would someone care to point me to some relevant reading, or share their insight with me?

I sent rr.com a message about some of their customers trying to crack my systems by writing _vti_pvt subdirs in my ftp root (now how many people are actually STUPID enough to put a world writable FTP root that is also their Webserver root -- oh, yeah, I forgot, anyone stupid enough to put IIS on the Internet with M$' defaults enabled, duh). Anyway, their idiot response was: you permit anonymous FTP access and that's all it was. So if you have an rr.com account, sorry, but you're prohibited from accessing my FTP server (get a new ISP). Irresponsible ISPs really need to be forced off the Internet (I also believe anyone who puts a server on the Internet should have to have a license as well, but that's another story). Unfortunately, the trend for irresponsible (read criminally negligent ISPs) is that they are growing. So expect this kind of behavior and block their IPs. They're the only ones to suffer.

Re: SuSe vs. Mandrake decision
I haven't done anything with Mandrake 8.0 0r SuSe 7.2, but I have set up Mandrake 7.0 an SuSe 7.1. The Mandrake installs easier. Partitioning was a little strange after Caldera but easy to do. It found all of my hardware except the printer. Checked printtool after an found that Mandrake supports very few printers compare to Caldera. That may have been one of the improvements in 8.0. On the positive side it installs both Gnome and kde desktops so you can fool around with Gnome if you like.. The kde uses kppp which is a dream to setup. If you try to setup through Gnomes linuxconf get set for heavy rolls. It's cumbersome an creates error messages without any meaning but fortunately if you setup your internet connection with kde there is apparently some sort of sticky function between that also setups up your internet for Gnome. SuSe 7.1 was a little more complicated to install. Partitioning was plain weird and it also gives you 4 different choices to boot from. Which are three places you can make mistakes. Or you can tell the thing to use the entire hd. That solves most of your partitioning problems, but SuSe likes to install the swap at the head of the linux partition. I prefer the end that way I can later increase without too much trouble. Although you can add later swap through the terminal window command an modifying the boot up files. Once you have done everything on the install SuSe 7.1 loads packages. At the end of that though your not done. If you don't know what type of video card ou're running you can log in as root and give SuSe the superprobe command. This can lock up your system, but if it works you stand a pretty good chance of getting your video card ided. Then you have to go back to command line an order yast. This allows you to determine if the driver for your card has been loaded. If not, and one exists, you can load in yast. Then once again back to the command line order Sax. Sax allows you in Graphic format to configure your mouse, keyboard,monitor an desktop. Unfortunately it doesn't always work. I have an S3 compatible video card on one of my dual Mandrake systems. Mandrake identified an set it up with no fuss. SuSe, on the other hand, identified the card as an S3 compatible, but would give me no better 250 colors with the same card that Mandrake was running thousands of colors. Hint. doing Sax setup there is a test button on the desktop setup. Use it. Don't assume that because you have set the card and desktop up correctly that it will run. You may have to fudge things a little. Once setup SuSe is fairly easy to operate and it does a fair to middling job of installing system hardware. But, as I said this comparison is for Mandrake 7.0 and SuSe 7.1 they may have improve all this or even made it worse. Lee Mel Roman wrote: > Hello: > > I'm using a Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 system now.

Re: kppp on valium
Hi, Tony: This may be way out in left field, but does a look at 'dmesg' reveal anything relating to a comm port IRQ or address conflict?

Gentoo `.0_rc5 installation
I've just completed (well complete is a relative term) the _rc5 install, so I will share the results with you. A bit of philosophy --- Warning: this is not the distro for complete newbies; you need at least a minimal understanding of system administration to get through this. Also, you must have an internet connection to do the post-install work. Your first decision is a philosophical one - to Gentoo or not to Gentoo. Unless you like tinkering with distros for the education (I do) or you are convinced that you will get a very solid system (I do so believe) from Gentoo, you may want to pass. You really only need to go through the procedure described below once, though, because Gentoo provides you with the wherewithal for keeping your distro continuously up to date (even bleeding edge, if you prefer). Gentoo is basically similar to ALFS, ie a compile-everything-from-download-on-the-fly-sources distro. After install, you have a very basic, up to date Linux system with internet connection, and you are ready to install packages to your heart's content. Gentoo uses the Portage packaging system, a system unique to Gentoo, for installing software. Each package is an "ebuild" which contains specs for downloading from an authoratative source, checking for dependancies (and automagically merging these first, if necessary), merging the package onto your running system, and providing for removal (unmerging) the software later, if needed. At every step Portage calculates md5sums to insure that you have a valid copy. Planning 1. Go to the http://www.gentoo.org site and review everything. 2. Read through the install instructions until you understand them. At present it's difficult to print them, but they are working on a printer friendly version. The instructions are almost 100% accurate. 3. From your current system(s), you need a comlete picture of the partitions you want to use (you can repartition during install) and your other existing partitions, your ethernet setup (hostname, resolv.conf, hosts contents, module name for the NIC), your kernel .config (if you want to compile a new kernel), and (preferrably) your existing XF86Config-4 file. 4. There is no fancy installer. You do everything from a standard Linux system (loaded from CDrom). 5. I recommend reiserfs for your partitions, but you may choose EXT2 if you prefer. The standard 2.4.4.9 kernel is solid with reiserfs. Installation Allocate about 3 hours for the "install" plus whatever time to download and burn the ios image. 1. Download and burn the appropriate iso image for your cpu (I used the 586 version for my K6/II). Although I have at least one distro with cdrecord support, I used windows to burn the CDrom (Easy CD Creator). 2. boot from CDrom (on my BIOS I have to specifically enable this each time, since their is no option for floppy-then CDrom-then IDE) 3. Follow the instructions to create and format your partitions. 4. Issue the commands to install the system - much of the work is done from a CHROOT Jail environment. 5. I chose to compile my own kernel, using the instructions provided, but the standard kernel will probably work for you. 6. Follow the Final Configuration instructions (this is where you need the planning data). A note: DHCP works just fine. 7. I ignored the grub instructions and switched to my reference system for updating lilo. If you like grub, use it. 8. If you are using lilo, boot your reference system, update lilo.conf, mount all your ditros referenced by lilo.conf, and issue /sbin/lilo. 9. Since I use my own kernel, I also update /etc/rc.d/config/modules (this is how Gentoo controls module loading at boot) with the following (your ethernet and sound card will differ): parport_pc lp tulip esssolo1 10. boot your new system using lilo or grub (I had to alter my bios again to remove CDrom booting, but you may not need this). Post-Install Allocate about 3 hours for the Post-Install work 1. Congratulations you just booted into Gentoo, and you have a complete non-gui Linux system with a connection to the ethernet at your disposal. If you have a pppd connection, I can't help you, since I use a local lan with cable connection to the internet. YMMV 2. You login to root with no passwd. Use passwd now to set a root user passwd. I also did ifconfig and pin www.kde.org, to veryify that my lan connection to the internet was working. You must have an intenet connection to do the post-install work. 4. Correct the one install bug now - chmod 1777 /tmp. Gentoo may have already corrected this reported bug by now. 5. adduser (see man) to add yourid in group wheel. 6. passwd yourid and set a password for the new user 3. 7. Create a /home/yourid directory and chown to yourid.wheel. Note: undocumented

SuSe vs. Mandrake decision
Hello: I'm using a Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 system now. I never bothered to upgrade to 2.4 (deciding instead to wait for the next generation Caldera distribution which would have the latest kernel, KDE desktop, etc...). I've heard mixed reviews about the new 3.1 product and am finding my present system is getting dated, so I'm considering other distributions. I'd like to get a distribution that has all of the productivity/internet desktop stuff set up already so that I can immediately get productive without spending hours downloading things, installing them, and getting them to work. In particular, I need a good browser with JAVA support, 128-bit encryption, Adobe Acrobat, various plug-ins ,etc... already set up so that I can immediately do just about anything on the internet that I can currently do from IE in the Windows world. Although I'm a newbie currently playing with Linux as a home desktop system, I see myself eventually setting up my old P166 as a file/print server for the household. It would also host a relational database (such as MySQL ) . As a developer, I'm also interested in the development tools. I've looked at the websites for various distributions and the two new ones that have caught my eye are Suse 7.2 and Mandrake 8.0. I've seen some positive first impressions of Suse posted on mail lists, but am also looking at Mandrake because of its reputation as having very intuitive/easy install, admin tools, etc... Another issue might be availability of RPMs for new applications (are there more application RPMs developed for one distribution than for the other?) It occured to me that some of you out there may have had an opportunity to compare the two. Perhaps there are other factors I should be considering. Would anyone out there care to share their opinions/experiences? Thanks, Mel __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Re: PCMCIA CD Burner
HI Phil, I am using an A20m, a resonably new IBM thinkpad that only really needs some more ram as I only have 64 M at the moment. I have had this machine about 6 months. I used to use a cheaper thinkpad but I am very happy with this machine, my other alternative is to change to a machine with a built in CD burner, but that is extra cost that I would hope to avoid. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, Once you run /sbin/ifconfig and find the MTU setting, perhaps you might try adjusting it as it is probably set to 1500 by default. This setting sometimes does not suit some isp's.

Re: OV511 (USB camera)
IIRC, you have to set it up similar to a usb hard drive/zip/ls120. This will give you the /dev/??? that corresponds to this device. You can then use some of the graphic/camera applications out there to use it. I haven't done this, but I'm just going on what I remember what I've read. If I'm wrong, please, somebody tell me.
