Re: Hd question.
I agree with the opinion that the disk is dead, presuming you already gave us all the relevant info. Can you mount a floppy and boot? If you have windoze, www.toms.net/rb has a version of linux that builds under dos - a zip file. Then #e2fsck - n will tell you about the state of the hd, and offer the address of an alternative superblock # badblocks will check the disk blocks. Use switches. With that history, I'd back up anything you want off the windoze side NOW!! e2fsck can be run to call badblocks. -- Regards, Declan Moriarty Applied Researches - Ireland's Foremost Electronic Hardware Genius A Slightly Serious(TM) Company Experience is like a comb, that Life gives you - AFTER all your hair has fallen out!

I never got plugins to work with Netscape-6.2, but I did with Mozilla, and Netscape 4.78. What you need to know is that the plugin directory is moved, and the plugins supply instructions for version 4.78 (old dir). You must have a lot of time on your hands using Netscape.

ATAPI cdroms are ok under linux - aren't they? (Plea for insight and wisdom ;-) You may have failed the idiot test. Open the box, and check where the ribbon cable from the cdrom goes. It should go to a plug on the m/b. There should be a power connector; all the plugs should be in position - tight. If it's on the same cable as the hd, check the jumpers (It should be slave). Check if the red line goes to pin 1 on the m/b and on the hd.

Depends on your video card. 8Mb is pushing the lower limit for a decent X server because typically, X will use about 3Mb of RAM. You will need swap. But once X is up and running, shouldn't be too bad. I've never tried with a 486 laptop because you can't change the video card, and almost all 486's need to have a better video card (and of course you'll connect a better monitor to the laptop).

Re: Plugger 4.0
I can't use opera alone because there are some sites, like fidelity.com, which won't work with it. The opera authors know this and say they can't help it, some sites just don't support opera. I haven't seen how to get plugins to work with opera. I just downloaded the newest opera and I came across some item about plugins saying that plugins have to work with netscape before they work with opera. I may be wrong, but that's what I read, so I went to netscape 6.2. I wrote the author of plugger -4.0 and he says he can't even run netscape 6 on his computer! Netscape 6.2 installed and ran just fine on my caldera 2.4 with a kernel upgrade and XFree4.x. I simply can't believe (yet) that plugins don't work with netscape 6.2. After all, this is not new technology! I think my problem is documentation. I still haven't found any documentation about plugins which enables me to trouble shoot this problem.

Yes, if mutt is not available for Slackware 3.3, you will need to install pieces from the development series in order to compile mutt from source.

Fwd: [COLUG] Beehive Linux [Distro Review]
-- Forwarded Message -- Subject: [COLUG] Beehive Linux [Distro Review] Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 14:23:46 -0500 From: Peter King <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home: www.beehive.nu Version: 0.4.4 The author of Beehive Linux, Kevin Clevenger, issues this warning in the README file that accompanies his distribution: This distribution is not for people unfamiliar with the inner workings of Linux. It is for people that know what they're doing (more or less) and just want to build small, fast, i686 optimized workstations and servers without the crap and clutter. It should be installed on a clean system. If it thrashes your box, scrambles your drive, spews chatter on your net, or otherwise does unexpected or unkind things - you were warned. It works fine for us. If it works for you great. If it doesn't either offer to help or send a fix to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note that this distribution is compiled for i686. It will not run on a processor less than an Athlon or PIII. The parenthetical "(more or less)" was enough for me. I've since installed Beehive Linux twice over, and found it to be a clean and well-implemented version of Linux that doesn't demand SysAdmin skills to get going, and doesn't overload a typical system. It's best for servers, but can be turned into a decent workstation distro. Clevenger is aggressively up-to-date in his choce of packages: see www.distrowatch.com for the full details. The current version (0.4.4) is based on Kernel 2.4.16, and it includes KDE 2.2.2, emacs 21.1, ReiserFS, mySQL 3.23.45, Python 2.1.1, Sendmail 8.12.1, and other up-to-date goodies. Beehive does prefer inetd to xinetd, though. The packages are all included as *.tar.gz files. The whole install is about a 20-minute affair on my AMD 800Mhz Duron system, with no hitches. Beehive Linux is distributed by .iso image; download, burn, boot from the CD and follow the (minimal) directions. Clevenger is clearly a vi partisan: although the latest emacs (21.1) is included, none of its associated lisp files are -- which means it doesn't run properly -- and, as far as I can tell, it's configured without support for X, which is a bit annoying. More serious an omission for a workstation, at least for my purposes, is some version of tex. Fortunately, teTeX is readily available for downloading, and is straightforward to compile and install. Mozilla is included rather than Netscape, and Konqueror is available in KDE, but, although Beehive includes bits and pieces of GNOME/GTK, Galeon isn't among them. In addition to KDE, Beehive provides WMaker, BlackBox, and enlightenment. Packages are managed with beepkg, mostly useful for uninstalls -- otherwise tar and gzip do the work (much like Slackware). Beehive Linux was clearly inspired by Red Hat. Although it's not based on RH, it makes use of RH tools such as chkconfig, and sets up its configuration scripts and the like in a similar manner. For instance, simple configuration is done in an /etc/sysconfig/ directory. The Reiser filesystem seems to be solid and every bit as effective at error recovery as the ext3fs shipped with RH 7.2. I haven't seen any comparisons between the two but you can bet there will be lively debate heating up shortly, if not already. Beehive installs with most choices left to the user. There's no /etc/skel for useradd, no inetd.conf file at all, and so on. I eventually figured out that all tty and pty devices are set without group/world write permission -- an example of the kind of low-level knowledge Beehive relies on. I've found the whole thing to be quite robust: no crashes, glitches, or errors, though lots of little configuration tasks; a more experienced user [i.e. just about everyone else in COLUG] could take care of all the details quite rapidly. (Here's a tip: set /dev/null world-writeable as part of the post-install process.) I'm impressed with the stability and maturity of this newcomer Linux distribution. It's happily running on my test machine, and, if I can clear up a few more details (and get Galeon running!), I may put it on my production machine. Clevenger distributes Beehive Linux as shareware, asking for $30. -- Peter King [EMAIL PROTECTED] Philosophy Department The Ohio State University (614)-292-7914 ofc Columbus, Ohio 43210 (614)-292-7502 fax U.S.A.

While I would like to figure out the cause of the cdrom error, I have erased the evidence. Several people have asked about the CD player, it did work in windows and I was able to see the contents of it. In fact, I created the boot floppy with tools provided on the cd.

After making the switch, still ignores the cd and boots windows 3.

Jerry, Sorry it took so long to respond. I got caught in the layoffs at work and things have been rather hectic. I would have loved to write a step-by-step for this, except that I can't seem to figure out how to get wep to work. I could not get it to work with the orinoco module. I don't believe the orinoco module is capable of this. I found in wireless.opts where it stated that to use encription requires the wvlan_cs module, but I had no luck getting that to load either. I then tried linux-wlan-ng and could never get it to work at all. At this point I reloaded the machine with a newer version of caldera and haven't had the time to try linux-wlan-ng again. Right now I am running the orinoco module with no wep...again. :( ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

His problem was that rpm didn't know about the db version he had installed (or, more specifically, the libdb version), and as a result didn't know the libdb dependancy was resolved. I imagine he coulda "--force"'d the install, or "--nodep"'d it and all woulda been OK. But, if you're gonna use rpm to install, you might as well satisfy what it thinks are its dependancies, even though the dependancies are met and rpm just doesn't know about it. As it stands now, rpm knows about his db install, and he's running a newer version than he was when he started, and he's got a current rpm version that'll read version 4 rpm's.

Ditto for everything listed beneath it. I'm typing this on a box running 2.4.16 with modutils-2.4.2 so the minimum version listed is kosher. However, it seems that Caldera dumped a 2.4.3 out for some reason. Do you have any unusual hardware on your box, or did you patch this kernel in any way? You might want to grab the official modutils source and build & install it. I've started to become leary of Caldera packages, as they put all of these 'enhancement' patches into them which don't always work as they should. A fine example is their hack of XFree86. = Lonni J.

Fwd: Newbies Prayers Answered!!!! (LONG)
,--- Forwarded message (begin) Subject: Newbies Prayers Answered (LONG) From: mike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2001 05:50:09 -0500 http://www.redmondlinux.org I have been following the development of Redmond Linux for a while now, never actually using it. I decided to change around my LAN, and figured now was as good a time as any to give it a try. All I can say is wow. Flawless install in under 20 minutes on a duron600@1050 abit kt7 256megs, generic nic, SBPC 128, tnt2 m64. If you're frustrated by linux, or are thinking about trying it out read on. This is simply the best option for those looking for a windows alternative, or a linux playground/schoolyard. It addresses every issue I have ever heard a new user complain about. If you are an experienced user, I highly suggest you recommend this distro to potential newbies or frustrated newbies you may encounter. I'm not at all affiliated with Redmond Linux, I just see this as a solution to the flame wars that clog up the linux newsgroups. Anyway... on with the review. The installer proceded as follows: 1) Put CD in drive, boot off CD, if you currently use windows you can start from there as well booting from the CD or it will make a boot floppy. 2) It auto probes for mouse, keyboard, and videocard/monitor. These steps consisted of hitting next until they were done. 3) Choose partition to install on. You have the option of the whole disk, existing partitions, free space, or expert, where you do the partitioning. I don't know if you can partition on the fly, but even if you could I would recommend partitioning in another app. 4) The install starts. There is only one possible config. Easy for new users who don't know what exists in the linux realm. 5) Set up users, enter names and passwords. Easy. 6) Set up networking, and printing. DHCP, none, or manual settings. Printing using cups and it looks like gimp-print. Piece of cake as well. 7) Play solitaire until done. Its really a step!!! 8) make boot disk/restart. Like I said. A complete install in under 20 minutes. You can look up what it comes with at http://www.redmondlinux.org After playing around for a few hours I'm still very impressed. The kde menu (your only window manager choice) is set up neatly and logically organized. In every menu the most often used choices are there, and "advanced" options are under a submenu. For example,the section "music and movies," has mp3 player (xmms in disguise) dvd/divx player (xine in disguise) an option to watch tv... as selections, as well as a sub-menu option for "more multimedia programs," which contains the mixer, midi mapper, and arts builder. The menus are very simple to understand, and every program works perfectly. Full screen divx, handled much better than win2k did on this box. The desktop is a clone of windows. "My linux computer" opens to give shortcuts to all your drives, which are all perfectly configured to automount. CD's auto-run, ex... DVDs automatically load with xine, every file type I tried was correctly linked to its application. The feel is much more windows like than linux. There is no home directory mentioned (it does exist, just silently), and drives are presented as if they were not part of a contiguous filesystem, but separate file systems. The "Network Browser" icon opens up to all the Windows workgroups you can access from your box, browsing is the same as with windows. NO MOUNTING NEEDED Unfortunately, if you want to access a smb/windows share directly through other programs you must mount it, or copy the file to your local drive. RedmondLinux developers have made all the program choices for you. They chose mozilla as the web browser and email client, but of course you could install whichever you wanted. They did provide IMHO a great selection of apps. There is one very strong app for every task you may need. I personally would only want to add kate, kmail, knode, and maybe star-office, these are personal choices; an equally powerful alternative to each is included. Everything is there in one form or another, including all of the common linux browser pluggins. Administration is a breeze. The Developers made front-ends for almost everything you could want, and incorporated them into the KDE Control Center as pluggins. Suddenly the KDE control center is as powerful as linuxconf, no joke, but much easier to use. They did the same advanced options thing from the menu here as well, which lends itself well to its target audience. I personally like the fact that the developers added a link to turn sshd on or off, and called it remote access configuration. The launcher hints at the possibility of remote trouble shooting/repairs. This would b

Libraries are the most often problematical when loading rpms because the rpm is in many cases not for that distribution. So whats happening is that the rpm , probably for RH, is looking in one place and the distro is storing the lib in another. So you have to EXPORT the PATH statement, which is something that I always forget how to do. So I normally enter the path into /etc/ld.so.conf; do not forget also to always call "ldconfig -v" after playing with or installing libs. -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Ok then it is the combination of the CD drive & the disk that is causing the problem. Windows does not push the hardware like linux does, and windows uses the std bois but linux introduces its own and ignores the std bios after a certain point. So you are like many of us in the list where at some point we had to use the floppy to boot with some have to use commandline and so on. I have found that with the latest h/w and distro installs its a cinch with cdrom boot. Not long ago I was using floppy boot. One point mate, is that it is imperative that you DO know the chipsets on board the MB and the video card so as you can tell linux what empiricals to use. This is where most beginners fall down, not knowing whats under the hood. With linux as opposed to windows, you need to know as windows cludges things and operates as an i386 generic whist linux uses the full potentialities of the h/w.

koffice-1.1.1
It usually someone else other than I who gets in first after a release. However I download this last night and tried it this morning. Its only a minor release but wondered what was to offer, only to find that it crashed immediately in Suse and had problems when started from a terminal. There does not appear to be anythingb that is worth the release and the BIG point is not addressed once again, no export word filters. Kword, mime, abiword; pretty useless. I also decided as I was going to abamndon Suse 7.3 for many reasons, recompiles, sound and other little niggles that I would download the mandrake and Caldera versions. I was introduced by Caldera to linux and gui, also until this year had no thought, even though I had struggles with ltp etc of using anything else. I was actually thinking of putting 3.1.1 beta up again as I know more of Caldera than anything else. What has stopped me was the download of koffice-1.1.1 for Caldera. It is compiled for 2.1; yes I know they have not released rpms for 2.2, but why release it at all, its a minor release and its meant to run on 2.2 ? I am at a loss to follow the thinking at Caldera these days. I would be back onto Caldera if they would only put out up to date releases, or put up files to download so as the user could do that. Mind you that is not to say that any other distro has grabbed me in any substantial way either. Mandrake is the next one to be tested again but I do not like the no /opt and another couple of tricks, gcc 2.96 i.e.. Suse is ok so long as you do it their way and do not fiddle. Just seems that today many are working against each other rather than with some game plan, this release is just confirmation. Imho don't bother. -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

The orinoco module supports WEP. My silver cards do 40 and 104 (Windoze can only figure out how to do 40, but I use 104 between my Linux boxes -- they drop back to 40 when a Windoze box tries to talk to them). > use encription requires the wvlan_cs module, but I had no luck getting that > to load either.

Right now I am running the > orinoco module with no wep...again. :( What card? The linux-wlan-ng stuff will NOT work on hermes cards. All cards that run the hermes chipset (Orinoco and a pile of others) run WEP. Try this: iwconfig eth# key s:mycryptokey Now, any station not running WEP can't talk to you. Windoze stations will run with "mycry". If you're using an Orinoco card, I suggest you upgrade your kernel (to at least 2.4.14), upgrade your wireless_tools (to at least wireless_tools.22.tar.gz) and also your /usr/include/linux/wireless.h. Caldera is hopelessly outdated in this arena. After you get stuff running, try: iwconfig eth# power on iwspy eth# ping remote system iwconfig eth# you'll see some stats about how good your connection is. There's also a graphical utility you can use which shows you your SNR (signal to noise ratio). Ciao, David A.

Downloading behind a firewall with gnutella
I am trying to get hagelslag, a console gnutella client, to work. My machine is behind a firewall (of my own making). I can search fine and get results but I can't download anything. I have port 6346 redirected to the masqueraded pc, although I doubt that could be the problem. I haven't gotten a single packet to that port all evening. I am not sharing any files at the moment. I have tried the push option on download. (BTW: I don't use limewire because I get a java error when it runs and I can't get hagelslag to compile properly on my gateway computer.) The documentation with hagelslag doesn't include any troubleshooting. Well, I'll put some files in my Share directory and see if anyone can upload me. Any insight appreciated.

I've been using 1.1.1 all day. That is something I could not do until now.
the stability increased over 100% with this release for me.. on SuSE 7.2 I
might add (though, my own XFree86, my own KDE, my own KOffice, etc)
