Re: enable 16bit and 24bit

Accelerated X (I'm assuming the server that Phil mentions) does indeed support multiple depths (overlays) simultaneously. The 24bit depth is useful for things like netscape, while the 8 bit is useful for things like WABI, Executor, and Emress. (There is an overlay patch available on our FTP site

Re: Second Ethernet Card

Have you disabled plug and play? If not, boot to DOS, put in your 3Com diskettes, run 3c5x9cfg and disable it. Also note your IO and IRQ's just to double check. I've had good luck with two 3c509's at my old job once I disabled pnp. Chip - Chip Atkinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] (w

Re: 100 Mbit Ethernet

Greetings, It seems that SMC has changed the EtherPower 9332 a bit, and has caused us a considerable amount of grief. If you can get the older 9332DST rather than the newer 9332BDT or 9332BVT, you are better off. A couple days ago, I was configuring my machine as a gateway and put another card i

Re: How are base disks created?

Thanks for your help! That explained why I was unable to access them as a zipped anything. For archival purposes here's what I did: dd if=/dev/fd0 bs=1 skip=512 of=base.p1 #swap floppy here dd if=/dev/fd0 bs=1 skip=512 of=base.p2 #swap floppy here dd if=/dev/fd0 bs=1 skip=512 of=base.p3 #swap fl

How are base disks created?

Greetings, I'm trying to figure out how to create the installation diskettes (or images really) for Debian Linux and was wondering if I could get some help or even pointers to help. My question is, in what format is the data on the base disks? It didn't appear to be a file system, a gzipped file

Re: Installing Debian Linux

One problem that you may be having with the 3c509 is the plug and play capability. If you boot to DOS, run 3c5x9cfg and disable plug and play, the card should work great. Chip - Chip Atkinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] (work) Xi Graphics[EMAIL PROTECTED] (home) Denver, CO

SMC 9332BDT help request

Greetings, I am having trouble getting some network cards that we just bought to work with Debian linux. Previously, the SMC 9332DST cards worked just fine. However, the new batch that we purchased, SMC 9332BDT (note the DST vs. BDT) don't work. Has anyone gotten these to work? I only need 10Mb

10/100TX net card recommendations?

Greetings, Does anyone have a recommendation for 10/100 net cards? The SMC 9332 has now changed a bit, and currently I am unable to use it. I am exploring other options, and finding another card type is one of these. Thanks in advance. Chip - Chip Atkinson [EMAIL PROTECT

Boot question

Greetings, I'm trying to change the ethernet card in my machine from a 3c509 to an SMC 9330 BDT, but during boot the 3c509 module gets loaded and the tulip module doesn't. My question is where are these modules loaded into the kernel during boot? I thought they would be in the rc.* files, or e
