Years ago, well back around 1990 I was involved in the UK BBS scene (I still miss Fidonet to be honest!). Anyway, we ran a fairly large BBS in Lancashire called Red Rose and I was the Co-Sysop. I used to handle the questions we'd get from some users regarding their modem settings and whatnot,

Does the second hard-drive mount OK? Is it formatted as a FAT(32) drive or EXT2/Reiser? Do you have an entry for it in /etc/fstab? Steve Flynn NOP Data Migration Ops Analyst * 01603 687386 -Original Message- From: Joe Brault [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent:

I have a BP6, with 466 celerons in it - clocked at 75 Mhz each rather than 66. This gives me a pair of 525 MHz little fellas. They run fine under 2.2.13 (from MDK 6.5) without a hitch. They did cause kernel messages under the 2.4 kernels APIC CPU1 error or suchlike. Dropping them down from the 78

ISTR, that under low memory circumstances, 6.5 wouldn't prompt for the 2nd CD either. Memory (pardon the pun) is hazy on this as I only read about it on this very list about 1.5 years ago. I think 32 meg was OK with 6.5 though - people installing with 16 and 24 meg were having grief. You can

Well, providing you never want to build it again, or you have the original tarball you downloaded, then yes - once it's compiled and running OK, then you won't need the source directory. Steve Flynn NOP Data Migration Ops Analyst * 01603 687386 -Original Message- From:

It might be worth mentioning to the gentleman struggling to unzip his tar, that the one method which is guaranteed to work on all versions (well, since 6.5 where I first used it) is to use bunzip2 to firstly unzip the .bz2 file to a flat tar file and then un-tar it. Don't try to run before you

Unfortunately, at work, I have to use Outlook - corporate policy for this particular site. I don't have a choice. With the way Outlook quotes, it's far more intuitive to top post, especially as it puts your sig up there at the top of the text when you hit reply. At home, however, I never top

Are you able to resolve anything else? For example, can you ping you ISP's webserver? Can you ping the microsoft site, slashdot or freshmeat? When kppp dies, does your modem stay online or does it drop the carrier - should be easy to tell by looking at the lights, seeing as it's an external

Do you use LILO? If so, boot linux with a parameter of MEM=64M. This will force the kernel to only use the first 64 meg of memory. If it boots OK, you probably have a bad ram board or similar. If you use GRUB, then do whatever you need to do to append the above MEM= line. Try swapping the

It's a pipe. Basically, it acts just like a real pipe does in your plumbing system, but instead of water flowing through it, data does. The pipe below connects the output from the echo command to the gawk command. Try this for an easy example: Ls -al | less The output from the ls command will
