Use the menu you get when you press the right mouse button on the desktop (not on a window): Creat New - Floppy Device Your entry in /etc/fstab will magically be available in the menu in the 'Device' tab. Just select your device and it fills in the blanks. Quite nice. Then, just click on the newly created icon to mount/unmount the card.

The dynamic and arbitrary drive assignment of Linux-scsi has been a bad design decision. Sum1 didn't think this through very well at all, and to get over it they have implemented all sorts of even worse design decisions in forcing fixed addresses at kernel boot time. Yeah the 'technique' is pretty shakey. dmesg and /var/log/messages does not mention the device assignment.

Another person's idea of using cdrecord -scanbus would work too. Of course if you have mixed device types on the bus (tape, scanner, disk), each type starts a new numbering sequence: disk at 1,1 sda tape at 1,2 st0 disk at 1,3 sdb Stew Benedict ___ http://linux.nf -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest, Etc -http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

I had a machine that did the samething. Took me forever to get eD installed on it, and when it finally took, those kernel oops' started happening and freezing her up solid. I replaced RAM, the hdd, and the fan in an attempt to rectify it being that I had spares of those laying around. I tried to compile a new kernel and it got worse. Instead of trying to replace every piece of hardware in the machine to figure out what was going on, I installed on a different machine. The new machine has given me nary a problem.

Kurt I've had this problem off and on with various files. I finally dug in and found the reason (for me at least) when dosemu refused to print anything from one of my apps. The app was sending a binary zero as the first byte of the print file. That was all it took.. I guess it farkled the printer to the point where it just passed any remaining data. I wrote a filter to take out any binary zeros found in the file. What I did to find the problem was to: 1) Turn off the printer. 2) Print a file (and it will get queued in /var/spool/lpd/printername 3) Go look at the file. 4) If you find something funny about the file, make a copy of it and play with the file to remove the problem and then try to print it. -- ++ + Bruce S.

I'll second that. Consider the cost of a cheapo AGP card and a 100MHz SDRAM module over against the time you'll spend messing around with your configuration. You can keep the spares as known-good stuff and use them many times for testing your various boxen, and then if you need them you're up and running again while you spec faster, more quality stuff as a permanent replacement.

I'd say its rather difficult to determine that without some more evidence. First, are there any other errors in messages prior to the Oops? If you want to test the memory hypothetis, and do not have spare memory on hand, then you basically have 2 options: 1) memtest86 www.memtest86.com : run it for at least 24 hours. Errors appear in real time. 2) Cerberus : http://sourceforge.net/projects/va-ctcs : this will do very rigorous hardware loading of the system. Memory, HD, CPU, mobo will all get heavily tested. Run for at least 24 hours. Errors appear in real time. With either of these the box will really need to be taken out of service during the testing. This all, of course, assumes that there is a hardware problem. However, realistically, hardware problems exhibit themselves in other fashions, and not via a kernel Oops. = Lonni J.

Re: rpm -qf
no. you don't need to. I checked. :) rpm requires the FULL pathname as an identifier anyway, i checked, and no, col2.4 does NOT supply this in linux-kernel-binary-2.2.14-4.i386.rpm _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: adding codepage
I will follow your way first. hope the 2.2.14 kernel has the cp950.c you could recompile your kernel, or, do the following cp /usr/src/linux/fs/nls/cp950.c (dot) gcc -c -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer -Wno-trigraphs -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i686 -I/usr/src/linux/include -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h nls_cp950.c this will give you nls_cp950.o cp nls_cp950.o /lib/modules/2.2.14-4/fs depmod -a modprobe nls_cp950 _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: multiple pppd
sir, in the interface name ppp0, ppp is the deivce type, what is 0? port number? device alias? that could aid my search :) and how could you use ifconfig to change ppp0 to ppp1 after ppp0 was up? I did come across asolution by accident while playing with pppoe and dial-out pppd. Mike Andrew wrote: I want to know whether ti's posisble to edit pppoe such that it would start pppd as device ppp1 rather than ppp0. Or is there a how-to that talks about firing up multiple pppd? man ifconfig in conjunction with /etc/ppp/ip-up.ppp0 etc _ Do You Yahoo!?

RE: multiple pppd
sir, in the interface name ppp0, ppp is the deivce type, what is 0? port number? device alias? that could aid my search :) The interface number. If you have five PPP interfaces, they would be numbered ppp0, ppp1, ppp2, ppp3, and ppp4. and how could you use ifconfig to change ppp0 to ppp1 after ppp0 was up? I did come across asolution by accident while playing with pppoe and dial-out pppd. I'm not sure you would. ppp1 refers to a different interface than ppp0. I have two NICs, eth0 and eth1, and getting them confused or forcing one to be the other would cause a great deal of weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth.

Re: pdf file viewer about worthless
I've had that problem too. I installed Acrobat Reader 4.0(or it was installed initially). It's in the Utilities submenu of KMenu. I've just had to open up the pdf file in that to read it. I think that there was some format changes between pdf 3.0 to pdf 4.0 that made it incompatible. I think the pdf viewer is written for version 3.0 or missing something important.
