Re: [newbie] File system signal 11 error

The error was: Warning... fsck.ext2 for device /dev/sda5 exited with signal 11. *** An error occurred during the file system check. What is this? Do I have a corrupted file system, and if so, how do I correct it? You don't have a corrupted filesystem, but you do have hardware problems. Typically, signal 11 errors are caused by attempting to overclock your machine beyond what the CPU or other hardware can handle. The other major cause is faulty memory. If you're overclocking, try turning it back down to it's normal speed and see if that fixes the problem. Also, check to make sure that the heatsink and fan are working correctly on the CPU. Check your RAM to make sure it's all properly and securely seated in the slots. Check your jumpers to make sure you've got them set correctly on the motherboard. Hope these ideas help! -- Steve Philp [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Even though you can do a command terminal in the X-Window. Let me know what you all think. It really depends on where you do most of your work. If you find that you prefer to do your work at the command line most of the time, I'd probably leave that as the default. If you're like me, about the only thing you ever use the command line for is typing 'startx'. In that case, you'll probably save some time by just having XDM take care of logins.

Re: [newbie] zImage and Loadlin.exe

Anything written in the system logs when you attempt to play sound? (/var/log/messages) Check the mixer volumes (run aumix) to make sure it's not just that the sound is turned down. Don't laugh, I spent 45 minutes trying to figure out why sound wasn't working, only to find out the volumes had been turned down on the card! -- Steve Philp [EMAIL PROTECTED] I won't laugh, it's happened to me too :-) Well...I don't get any thing...no error messages in sys logs...and no sound either.

Any help would be appreciated. The 4.08 version will run if you haven't uninstalled it and continue to run it from the same icon and/or directory. You most likely (definitely) have installed the new version in another directory, right? So first locate where the 4.51 version is installed. (For me it is in /opt/netscape.) Once in your directory, type ./netscape (thats ". / netscape" - w/o any spaces and quotes) and it should launch the 4.51 version.
