Re: [newbie] GAIM
I'm using GAIM 0.9.10 on my work machine.. It works fine for me. I had problems with previous versions locking up while trying to connect, but thats because my work machine was behind a firewall and versions of GAIM prior to 0.9.9 did not work well with a proxy or firewall.

Re: [newbie] Netscape crashing
Jonathan: The problem may be Java enabled web sites. I had the same problem until I turned off Java in the "preferences". Prabhakar I have Mandrake 6.1, with Netscape 4.61 and 4.7. Both versions are suddenly crashing at random. This is a new problem, I have not changed anything. Netscape will at random suddenly just shut down. I can't find any pattern, it seems totally random. Any ideas on what to try would be greatly appreciated as this is about to drive me nuts! :) BTW, I tried some other distributions of Linux, Caldera, SuSE, and no problem, at least with Netscape...

Re: [newbie] second HD partition
On 6 Nov, M L Cates wrote: I have a second backup hard drive on my system . I made a second partition on it using FIPS. How do I (1) get linux to recognize it and (2) how do I reformat it for linux. Probably. A good way to find out is to run `fdisk -l /dev/hdd` (must be run as root) which will list all the partitions on hdd (the secondary slave hard drive). To change things, try running `cfdisk /dev/hdd`. This partition editor is a little easier to use for newbies than fdisk. You can't do quite as much, but I'm sure it will suffice for your purposes. I'll bet FIPS created a FAT16 or FAT32 partition. Linux can see this fine, but if you want to preserve file permissions and ownership, you'll want e2fs on that partition. The quick way to do this is change it's type to Linux in cfdisk, then run `mkfs /dev/hdd2` ... replacing hdd2 with the real partition name. -- -Matt Stegman [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] Choose Pentium? OR 586?
You are correct... The P-II/P-III/Celeron/Xeon are all based on the Pentium Pro. There have been changes like MMX and Katmai as well as the process shrinking from .35 micron for the P-Pro to .25 for the P-II/P-II/Celeron and then .18 micron for the new Coppermine P-III processors. There have also been cache changes.. The P-Pro had cache on the die that ran at the speed of the CPU and came in 256k, 512k, and 1 meg varieties. The P-II and early P-III had 512k of 1/2 speed cache on the slot card. The first celerons had no L2 cache at all.. The second gen Celerons have 128k of full speed cache on the chip die. The Coppermine chips have 256k of full speed cache on the chip also.. I believe some of the instruction pipelining for the FPU has been improved over the last 5 years as well.. However, the main instruction set for the CPU remains unchanged since the P-Pro came out in late 1995. Intel's 7th generation processor is supposed to be released 4th quarter 2000. It has been code named Merced for the last 4 years or so.. The actual product name "Itanium" was recently announced. It will be a true 64 bit processor and completely incompatible with all x86 code, unless someone decides to create an emulator for it. - Original Message - From: Matt Stegman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 08, 1999 6:31 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Choose Pentium?

Well, assuming it's /dev/hdb2 (may be hdb5) you'd type the following at a command-line prompt: mkext2 /dev/hdbx where x=the partition number.

Re: [newbie] Choose Pentium? OR 586?
Hi John Aldrich ! On 11/5/99 9:05:01 PM, you wrote: Yes! A Pentium is a 586-class processor. I think Technically a Pentium is a 586, a Pentium Pro is a 686, a PII would be a 786, and a PIII would be an 886 (hmm.scaryalmost the same code # as the "first PC" processors! G) A Pentium is a 586, and all the chips that use the PentiumPro core are 686s, ie the PentiumII, PentiumIII, Celeron, Coppermine P3's, Xeons, etc, are all 686s! The Williamette, due for launch next year, will be Intel's first next-generation (786) core, and probably last too. The Athlon (K7) is comparable to a 786, and AMD are working on an "886" core too, the K8.

Hi "Darin Martin" ! On 11/8/99 7:38:54 AM, you wrote: You are correct... The P-II/P-III/Celeron/Xeon are all based on the Pentium Pro.[snip] However, the main instruction set for the CPU remains unchanged since the P-Pro came out in late 1995. Correct. Intel's 7th generation processor is supposed to be released 4th quarter 2000. They've bounced around a few different release dates, and as always with Intel, you can't really judge it until its actually released. Expect probably at least 3Q2000. It has been code named Merced for the last 4 years or so.. BING! Wrong. Merced is a different technology (IA-64) that HP is designing for Intel using some of the HP-PA wizardry. The first chip in that series seems like it won't be much faster than the 786 chips due next year... ... which are called Williamette.

I've read a few articles about compiler development for the Itanium.. This is a tremendous chance for Linux to get a giant leap ahead of MS in the server and high end workstation market. Personally, I'll be building a K7 system as soon as a better chipset solution is available from VIA or ALI. I think that the K7 has far more potential than the Coppermine and even the Itanium. The big problem for Itanium is that there will be no backwards compatibility with x86 technology. That means little hardware or software support on initial release unless people start development now. The K7 and the K8 (code name Sledgehammer) are going to keep Intel in a #2 spot for a long time to come..

[newbie] Re: Where's the Sound?
Yeah I tried it as root. Any other possibilities? Thanks. At 11/8/1999 9:52:00 AM you wrote: On Mon, 08 Nov 1999, you wrote: Thanks John and Seve. I ran sndconfig; It said it didn't find any PNP devices, even though I have a standard Sound Blaster Pro PNP card. But I was able to select it from the list, which contained 3 entrys for SB. It tested the card, and it was able to play sound clips. The mixer program now runs, but sound still doesn't work in Xwin. In KDE Genome, when I try to setup system sounds, nothing happens. The default beep test button only makes the simple internal pc-speaker respond. Yet, when the system starts, it starts the sound server and the speakers make a brief pop sound. So I tried the "chmod a +rw /dev/mixer" command in the terminal, and it said "invalid mode". Any ideas? I can't think of anything else to try. Thanks. Did you try the chmod as root? If not, it won't work. John
