It doesn't sound like you've done a full installation. You might want to install some of the other packages from the CD's using the package manager. You'll be surprised at how many were not picked up by the default installation. -JMS |-Original Message- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [newbie] loadable modules in 8.1

This causes the modules to load AFTER the kernel has already loaded started, which may be problematic with some drives and SCSI adaptor combos. Mkinitrd causes the modules to be preloaded into so that the SCSI adaptors are seen by the kernel as being available at boot time, circumventing

RE: [newbie] LISA

LM8.0 put the lisa configuration files in the wrong place! You need to move the reslisarc and lisarc file that the KDE Control panel creates to ~/.reslisarc ~/.lisarc respectively. Use the control panel to add your subnet broadcast address and workgroup computers you want scanned. Lastly,

RE: [newbie] gigabyte GA-7ZXH

Both the VIA and ALiMagiK boards utilize Winbond chips. There is nothing wrong with these boards, but there is a -BIG- bug with the Winbond clock/timer chips. These Winbond chips are what keeps the real time clock going during power offs, etc. It seems that the Winbond clocks will randomly

RE: [newbie] gigabyte GA-7ZXH

Yeap, that's the bug, but it's not Linux's fault at all! It also happens with my Winblows machines. Linux at least TRIES to do something about it. Windows doesn't. Reading the timer.h and timer.c comments in the kernel code is most informative. It not only describes the nature of the problem

RE: [newbie] Doing Lynx4win in Windows XP

You can't. Linux cannot write to the newer XP NTFS file system and hence will not run. The Lynx4win doesn't even have NTFS file system modules for older version of NT. BTW: Performance is abysmal under Lynx4win. You are better off installing it on another drive. -JMS |-Original

RE: [newbie] How do I release my IP number?

IP's normally only get released according to a pre-assigned (read sysadmin default, oversight or neglect, heh) value. NT defaults to 5 days of inactivity. But here is the rub, once an ip is available for reassignment it's thrown into a pool of available IP's. It is put at the bottom of the
