Re: [newbie] devfs log messages pse help!
I also get the DevFS errors despite reloading many times. I'm told that many of the below troubles might be related to a devfs problem. Is there anyone who can shine some light on what I am seeing in my log. A suggestion, a web site, something I could read, something to try...anything. I want very much to learn how to troubleshoot this system but am starting at ground zero and thus haven't the faintest idea as to where to start. Any help would be very much appreciated.

[newbie] unlink in GLOBAL
I am sorting through the many troublesome entrys in my sys log, and attempt to fix the problems. Can anyone tell me what to make of this, or where to find out, or what to do...?

Re: [newbie] Running slow.
I would like to say thank you to all who replied to my inquiries as to 8.1 operating slow on my P120. I have made some notes from your comments and thus will try an older dist or lighter X application. On the other hand I may just upgrade the machine...things to ponder. As to my 700Mhz machine running slugish, from scanning the system log I see several things that raise serious questions (things that I know not the meaning of yet) that I must address. Thanks again to all, you have been most helpful! Jeff Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Debugging
Greetings, My system seems to keep going through the following gyrations. Can anyone help me understand what is going on here? I only have one card; eth0. Shouldn't I stop the constant probing for more? How might I do this? What is unlink in GLOBAL? What is the meaning of [104] ?

[newbie] Running slow.
Greetings: I recently installed Mandrake 8.1 on my son's machine which consists of a 120Mhz processor and 84meg of ram. It now operates deadly slow. My understanding has been that one advantage of linux is that it runs fine on older equipment ; that it doesn't require the horsepower, so to speak, that other OS's like windows does. Prior to installing Linux on my son's machine he was running windows 95. That moved right along. He likes linux but it is dreadfully slow. I am running a celeron @ 700Mhz with 512 Meg of ram. The speed is much better but still slower than windows ME, which I migrated from. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. Since I began this journey, I can't seem to get away from my computer. Though the learning is slow, I am learning and enjoying experimenting. On the other hand I have 3 boys in school, 3 machines networked together, and I need a stable system with reasonable speed. Any comments would be helpful. Tnx Jeff - K1LE - SECT Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Eithernet setup
Greetings all, I recently loaded Mandrake 8.1 and I need help in configuring my system to printer share, file share, and internet connection share, over my Linksys 10/100 network. My hardware is: celeron 700Mhz, intel 810 chipset, 512Meg ram. The other box on my network contains a cyrix 120 Mhz, 84Meg ram. This machine runs extremely slow with linux, compared to the prior win95 os. Any thoughts on speeding things up would be helpful too. So far, my attempts at getting the network running seem to cause IP conflicts, eth0 failure, and dhcpd failure, along with many other questionable sys log entries that may go away when I get things configured right. My prior experience is with windows gui only. Though I want to and am working toward learning terminal entry, I'm not at all proficient at it yet. It seems that the only thing I am getting really good at is reloading the operating system! So gui based instructions or well spelled out terminal entry would be most helpful.

[newbie] system log
In the system log, viewed in mandrake control center, what is the meaning of the occasional bracketed numbers in large black font? Thank you, Jeff Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[newbie] Buss speed
In the system log there is a line that reads IDE assuming 33 Mhz... My cpu is a celeron @ 700Mhz and I believe the buss speed is 66Mhz. My hard drive is new WD 40G (UDMA100?) Is the 33Mhz setting slowing me down? If so, and if I should make a change, how should I go about doing it? Please keep in mind that I'm extreemly new to linux and terminal entry.
