Re: [newbie] Sound 9.1
What about a kernel recompilation with your soundcard support? Nobody has said that a install kernel dos supports anything. Give it a try (there must be always a first time!!!). That's the beauty of Linux: you can shape it in anyway you need to. If you think that you'll get anything you want on first install than you'd better give it up.

Re: [newbie] lilo troubles (RH-related)

RE: [newbie] File encryption software
What about using pgp? It encrypts files end email with a customised privacy level (key lenght)? Leonardo Diciolla --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ha scritto: Thanks for all of the replies on this topic.. Still not too sure what is the best way of going really. The reason for encryption is that the files contain personal data which we don't want to pass clear text. In an ideal world the files will unencrypt themselves as the people we are sending the files are idiots ;) so we have to make it as simple as possible for them! The caveat for this is that they us windows so it would need to be an m$ executable file that is created. We already have a tool that can do what I want, but it needs M$ to do the encryption as well, I guess I could experiment using this under dosemu / wine. As the enryption process is done via a script can dosemu be run scripted rather than interactively (ie the program I have prompts for a password, can I feen the password in via the (dosemu) calling script instead?)

Re: [newbie] lilo troubles (RH-related)
Raffaele, did you install lilo on your root / partition or on your master partition? Do you want to dual boot your machine or only mount your ntfs partition? If you want to mount it you have to compile the ntfs module at least and then go with modprobe or insmod. That doesn't depend upon Lilo. Leonardo. --- Raffaele Belardi [EMAIL PROTECTED] ha scritto: I'm helping a friend install RedHat7.3. I realize now how good the MDK distributions are! We are trying to have a dual boot with W2K. The problem is that after RH installation, LILO does not show the W2K option. No problem, we think, let's boot in linux and insert in lilo.conf the additional entry, but it doesn't work: lilo refuses to upgrade the MBR because it does not see the partition hda5 (were W2K is). Looking better, we see that hda5 is not mounted at all. So we mkdir /mnt/windows and add a new entry in fstab with appropriate parameters. But now mount /mnt/windows reveals that ntfs is not build into the kernel. We try an insmod ntfs, but the module cannot be located: it's not present in the /lib/modules/.../ directory. :-( My understanding is that lilo refuses to upgrade the bootloader because it first tries to validate the lilo.conf accessing the partitions there indicated, but in our case fails because there is no ntfs support in the kernel and exits.

Re: [newbie] Modem hanging on connection
Hi Chris, it sounds like you havent set automatic IP adressing along with the gateway on the remote server. Be also sure that your resolv.conf is writabe by who executes kppp (or set suid flag on pppd) and that on connection it gets filled with the remote DNS address.
