Hello,
I have a 20 gig Maxtor hard drive installed in my pc. The BIOS does not
recognize the full capacity of the drive so I am using their release of
EZ-Drive called MaxBlast. Naturally, Windows works fine. I have Partition
Magic 5.0 Pro and have partitioned the drive for FAT32 and also Ext2
There should be a boot image available that will allow you to install from a
hard drive. Look in /images.

I recently installed L-M 7.1 onto an empty hard drive. At the time,
it was /dev/hdc in my computer, and I had L-M 6.1 on /dev/hda1.

appeared that it had done so, but d

Make sure there is a /dev/modem symbolic link to /dev/ttyS0 if your modem is
on COM1 or /dev/ttyS1 if your modem is on COM2. I believe kppp uses
/dev/modem by default and straight after installation of 7.1 there is no
link.
If there is no /dev/modem link then create it by running 'ln -s SERIALDE
Make sure you have done a "ln -s /dev/ttyS? /dev/modem" Where ? is your modem
device. Or in kppp just select your /dev/ttyS?

why isnt' there a GUI utility to load/unload drivers.. I was trying to get

hmm...I think someone forgot to tell that to my 3Com
USRobotics 56K ISA modem. It runs beautifully in both Winblows and
Linux. In fact, Linux is the very reason I bought this particular
model. Because I knew that since it was a REAL hardware modem it would
work just fine in Linux. And
Improvements?

this is what I do, I have both hdc=ide-scsi and hdd=ide-scsi on my lilo.conf
that way both drives are addressed as scsi and I can use them as I want.

You could use your ide cd-rom to read audio by using the ide-scsi module to
make your ide cd-rom appear as a scsi device. You will have to recompile
the kernel with the ide-scsi capabilities. There is some pretty thorough
documentation in a cd-r howto on www.linux.com.

Under Setup in X-CD-Roast, ¨CD Setup¨ tab I cannot select my CD-Reader for
¨Audio-Read-Devide¨. It only lists my burner, but under ¨Data-Read-Device¨ both
CDROMs are listed. Can anybody help figure out why, or how to fix this?
Thanks

Hello all,
I see to be having problems installing Adaptec's RAID card under Mandrake
7.1
The supplied .rpm files from DPT's web site do not seem to work properly as
I am unable to see the card or load the driver properly. Has anyone
experienced any problems similar to mine who could help me out?
If this can help or as info, take a look at the 'C/C++ Users
