Dear all,
I have to get the Nokia D211 working in the 2.5.59 kernel. I tweaked the
driver files (which are meant for 2.4.x kernels) and it compiles and
installs fine but when I insert the PCMCIA device, I get:
cardmgr[1302]: socket 0: Nokia D211
cardmgr[1302]: executing: 'modprobe nokia_cs'

As all posters before have been quite wholesome on
your questions,so I don't want add much more to that.
Debian seems to be a good choice, especially the
packet manager apt-get can make your life a lot easier
than rpm based distributions can.

Ray,
Your frank comments are very much appreciated, especially for such a
nuisance question as I posed.

I'm inclined in that direction, so your comment
Yes, it is usually kind of a pointless question, for basically, all
the main distrubutions are the same, and the differences may be nothing
more than a matter of personal choice.
I'm inclined toward Debian, for I don't care for the direction I think
Red Hat is headed. The alternative to it might b
I'm not a bsd-ish kinda guy, but:
If "/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall start" doesn't work, check to see that there is an
interpreter defined for the script. (first line should say "#!/xxx/xxx").

Thanks for all the info! Quick follow up question on the rc.firewall script.
I've tried running it, just by typing it's name when I'm in that folder at
root. It says, "bash: rc.firewall-2.4: command not found" It's actually
named, "rc.firewall-2.4" and I've made it executable already, it has a *

I think Brian's general response here is right on target. Most of us know
(and like) one distribution, and perhaps know a bit about one or two
others. But I very much doubt any of us is in a real position honestly to

I don't know if this is what you are asking but.
I've never worked with Slackware, but try this:
/etc/(PATH TO rc.firewall)/rc.firewall
and when they say dhcpd stop, you have to add the path to it in the front:
/etc/init.d/dhcpd stop (if /etc/init.d is the path)
I hope this works,

You are going to get as many different answers to this question as you would
what's you favorite $something. Only bad part about that is that most people
who answer these questions have never really used more than 1 or 2
distributions.(usually the first one they try doesn't work so they blame it

Hi all,
I am trying to write a program in c to be able to search a file
for any pattern which will be given by the user at
runtime.Basically a search tool.
Could someone suggest a good way of doing this.I've heard of lex

option.

I've always used Red Hat. My installation of 7.3 began to go sour last

Red Hats 8.0. Since then, things just have not worked right and I'm
