Re: [newbie] Server 'dumb' clients
There is a great way to do this: You must locate the Olivetti VNC client and server. This is freeware. Install and configure the server on your LINUX machine ( Windows NT server only supports 1 connection at a time). Then install MS DOS 6.x, or Caldera Open DOS if you can not stand MS, on your two weak pc's. Also, install the DOS tcp/ip stack and the NIC drivers (or you could install Windows for Workgoups). This is not difficult. Then install the VNC Client for DOS. Now you can work just like with Citrix but for free! There are VNC Clients for every device you can immagine, even the Nokia Cell Phone. If your Linux box is connected to the Internet you will have access to tour desktop from all over the world! The VNC Client/server is far more efficient that a remorte X session. PS: I really think that Mandrake should put the VNC client/server on their install because you could do everything that Citrix does for nothing flat! The sotware is tiny, and supposedly easy to configure. - Original Message - From: Aaron deRozario [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 09, 1999 10:35 PM Subject: [newbie] Server 'dumb' clients Greetings all I am interested in teaching myself about networking using the old-fashioned hands on approach, and building a home network. I am wondering if I can use this network to solve the constant problem of both my girlfriend and I always wanting to use the one computer at the same time. I own two older machines - a 486DX4 at 33MHz with 8meg RAM and an AMD-133 with 16meg Ram (one of those hot-rodded chips for 486 boards that claims Pent-75 performance. I would like to connect one or both of these machines to my current desktop (Celeron 333 with 64M). I am curious to know whether in a network I can use one of the older machines as a 'dumb terminal' or simply just running X. Using the dumb terminal can I run applications on the server using the server's CPU and RAM? As an example could I run CivCTP or Applix using the 486 machine, but have the processing done by the Celeron? I want to do this so that I can run programmes that require more CPU than the older machines have got (at least in the case of the 486-33) and make use of the old equipment. The 486 has two hard drives - 40meg and 80 meg. IS that enough space to put in a cut down Linux? Could I get away with just installing the very base components plus X, with all other software on the server? I was going to use RH5.2 or 6 because Mandrake is Pentium optimised. Which would be the better of the two distros to use? Just doing a little background work before I sit down and RTFM. Aaron

That would be SOO awesome if you would! -Kyle Spahn Hi Hyle - don't worry about configuring it during installation. Is this an ISA or PCI version of the D-link 220? IN any case this should work fine I'll use the Gnome Desktop for working on this in Root... Open "Control Panel" from the Main Menu under "System" Click on the "LinuxConf" Icon (the conductor withe the blue shirt)... On the Config page of Linuxconf (the first page revealed) press on "Networking"... From the next window press "Basic host information"... Under "Host name" this is where one could change the name of their host machine from localhost to something they prefer to call their PC Select "Adapter 1" page, unless this is your modem configuration select an alternative page Make sure "Enabled" selected, "Dhcp" is selected. I am not sure of your network setup, or if you might be on cable internet access like myself, but that shouldn't matter at this point... so disregard Primary Domain-Aliases-IP address (unless you have a fix static address you need to use), disregard Netmask... For " Net device" if this is your only NIC Card select "eth0" from the list. Next is the Kernel module selection - if the card is an ISA 16bit then select "NE" from the list or alternatively "NE-2k pci" for a PCI card Come to think of it I don't recall there being a DE-220 pci, it must be ISA, I had one in my machine 2 weeks ago before upgrading to a DFE-530TX pci Note for anyone using the D-Link 10/100 - DFE-530TX the kernel module to use is not listed in the Linuxconf, and is not recognzable at installation because it uses a different kernel driver - these cards use the "via-rhine" module simply type in "via-rhine" in the Kernel module option, for this card I/O and IRQ aren't neccessary to input for configuration. Two last things to do for configuring. input the mem base address I/O port the card is using and the IRQ number. Hit "Accept", Quit out of Linuxconf - Activate changes as exiting. Here are some final quick tests to see if it installed. Open a terminal type " lsmode" that comand will produce a list of modules running on your system, the most recent should be the "ne" we configured. Second from the same terminal now type "ifconfig" a list of two items should come up "lo" and "eth0" If they do that's great, if they don't there's one more thing we may need to do, and wouldn't hurt to do any at this point.. from the terminal again type "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart" you should see your "lo" and "eth0" refresh themselves, if they came up on this command then you're all set. Hope I was of help, Regards, Sean sj.Pritchard Technical Services http://www.sjptech.com

[newbie] Automatic replacement of files?
If I replace things like my /etc/issue or /etc/issue.net (the files displayed for login on local console and on connection remotely, respectively) and reboot, the files get replaced somehow. The penguin picture has a slight error because one of the lines of statistics wraps over the next line (where does it get that info anyway?), so as root, I make a backup version and then edit the file. OK, so if I log out, everything looks ok. The initial screen (for non-XDM setups) is now my edited /etc/issue. Same goes for the /etc/issue.net (I edit it heavily because I don't think people should receive that information from my box without even logging in. Looks like a vulnerability to me). Everything is as it should be till I reboot. When I reboot, the files get replaced. Both /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net have been replaced by the origional files at some point in the boot-up. I have noticed this effect on other files before, but this is the best example I have found yet. Where are the origionals, where in boot up does it do this, and how do I either stop it, or replace its template? Later, David

In the case if /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net, these are replaced at boot time by /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

Re: [newbie] Server 'dumb' clients
VNC is on the Mu Linux distribution. -Original Message- From: stephan schutter [EMAIL PROTECTED] There is a great way to do this: You must locate the Olivetti VNC client and server. This is freeware. Install and configure the server on your LINUX machine ( Windows NT server only supports 1 connection at a time). Then install MS DOS 6.x, or Caldera Open DOS if you can not stand MS, on your two weak pc's. Also, install the DOS tcp/ip stack and the NIC drivers (or you could install Windows for Workgoups). This is not difficult. Then install the VNC Client for DOS. Now you can work just like with Citrix but for free! There are VNC Clients for every device you can immagine, even the Nokia Cell Phone. If your Linux box is connected to the Internet you will have access to tour desktop from all over the world! The VNC Client/server is far more efficient that a remorte X session. PS: I really think that Mandrake should put the VNC client/server on their install because you could do everything that Citrix does for nothing flat!

The 486 has two hard drives - 40meg and 80 meg. IS that enough space to put in a cut down Linux? Could I get away with just installing the very base components plus X, with all other software on the server? I was going to use RH5.2 or 6 because Mandrake is Pentium optimised.

[newbie] Linux RAM problem
I have a problem with Linux Mandrae 6.0 (Venus). When I boot up my computer, the BIOS reads that I have 65535 K of ram (64 megs). However, when I reach the Shell Log In screen, the system reports that I have only 16 megs of RAM. What's the deal? what do I do to make it detect my 64 megs of RAM? I am using the default kernel (I think it's 2.2.2-17), an AMD-K6 233, on a Tyan Tomcat motherboard. I have four 8 meg RAM chips. Also, when I recently tried to reinstall, the system kicks me out with a "Signal 3" error. I don't remember what the exact message is anymore, since I'm now reinstalling Windows 95 until I can get a good book (or a reply from this mailing list). Eventually, I want to network two computers for Internet Sharing of a Cable Modem (yep, IP Masquerading), and I know that Windows is paltry for that, but I can't even get PPP working in KDE yet (I have the update on my drive here, if only I can get a disk). I'm also hoping to get file sharing working as well, and I ultimately hope to get a small web server up for a personal web page. So I'll come back and ask about those sorts of things when I can get Linux detecting my RAM properly.

[newbie] RPM's without docs?
Ok, second question: I recently downloaded the SSH package available from one of the sites linked off the mandrake web page. I used Kpackage to open and install the rpm, and everything worked successfully, as far as the program goes and all. However, when I look at the installed package for ssh, under ApplicationsInternetSSH, at the file list, I see many files listed which are NOT installed, namely all of the documentation. All files have a green check next to them, the package installed correctly, and all the directories referred to were created, but none of the man pages, or files under /usr/doc/ssh-1.1.27/ are there (this is a blank directory!). Did I do something wrong, or is it that the files were somehow omitted? If so, why do they show up in kpackage's list as there? Thanks, David

Two last things to do for configuring. input the mem base address I/O port the card is using and the IRQ number. Hit "Accept", Quit out of Linuxconf - Activate changes as exiting. Here are some final quick tests to see if it installed. Open a terminal type " lsmode" that comand will produce a list of modules running on your system, the most recent should be the "ne" we configured. Second from the same terminal now type "ifconfig" a list of two items should come up "lo" and "eth0" If they do that's great, if they don't there's one more thing we may need to do, and wouldn't hurt to do any at this point.. from the terminal again type "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart" you should see your "lo" and "eth0" refresh themselves, if they came up on this command then you're all set.

Re: [newbie] Sound stuff
This sounds like the same problem I had setting up my Acer sound card -- the I/O addresses in Windows did not match any of the choices in sndconfig. I am on the way to a solution with the driver from Open Sound Systems: http://www.opensound.com/lynxos.html Their driver can be downloaded for trial. It did get my sound card working (with Timidity, I can play MIDI files, with oss/play I can play WAVE files, and the KDE CD Player works). I have not gotten UMP or RealPlayer to work with Netscape yet. It is a pain, but at least I can download MIDI or WAVE files and play them. For the trial, you can only use it for 20 minute sessions. You have to turn the sound on, then off. You can then turn the sound back on for another 20 minutes. If the driver works for you, to make it permanent, you have to pay $20 US to OSS. At least that is less expensive than buying a new card. Good luck.

The timidity configuration files are in the directory /usr/local/lib/timidity and are set for every to be able to read them (and execute the executable). Can anyone suggest anything else I can do to get this working? -- Murray Strome 1275 Burnside Road West VICTORIA BC V8Z 1P3 Canada Phone: (250) 479-6448 Fax: (250) 727-3427
