Externel parallell port iomega zip drives require the

The ppa modules will detect the drive and use scsi emulation

I set up Rays kppp dialup and iptables firewall without checking

Hi Isaac,
the pcmcia boot scripts of Redhat's /etc/init.d/rc directory
differs from Slackwares /etc/rc.d scripts so it is not possible to
copy pcmcia boot files over as is.
In Slackware the pcmcia card description files are in /etc/pcmcia,
if Redhat has these files you could copy them

Hi Kevin,
no idea how to extract from a remote desktop. Are you using

To extract a tar just use command:
# tar -xvh tarfile
see man tar. -xvh is extract,verbose,hash

hit enter on any tar, tar.gz, rpm or tgz and mc

Hi Marcus,
hth means hope this helps.
Obviously I did not really explain what exactly happens to the /etc
directory during an upgrade. You are right that it is changed to
reflect the settings of latest versions of Myapps. Programmes such
as gimp,mutt,ssh,tin store their system setting in /etc.
Hi,
the Redhat upgrade is ok and will leave /home and /etc
alone but it does pay to backup the files in /etc as any
particular setting unique to a 7.3 prog version can be altered.
Easy to back up /etc as it is only 6 meg.

Hi Lance,
interesting.. uClibc and busybox is about as small
as it can get.
I noticed that Todd Sundsted referred to the use of compile/installing
lilo.
Cluggers may be interested to know that lilo now has a bitmap image
(16 colours) that can be viewed to make the selection on bootup.
Great. My apologies to Gareth as I have just realised that I

Hi Rob,
the module may be the generic smc9194 by Eric Stahlman according
to the info in /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/smc9194.c
By auto detected do you mean by the kernel screen output on boot
or by kudzu? Sometimes kudzu will work if you remove the card,
remove settings if asked by kudzu on
Hi Gareth,
