I'm running a Pentium II 166 MHz with 128 MB RAM and a 3c450 ethernet card. I
have used this computer before with LM 7.2 and everything worked like a charm.
Now after a recent reformat/reinstall (tried to upgrade to 8) it won't detect
the NIC. Everything else works just fine, but no luck with
Good afternoon folks,
I'm starting to do pretty much everything from the command line now, to the
point that I don't even touch XWindows for most of the day. While this is cool
and exciting, I'm curious as to people's opinions on what text editor I should
use for programming, file editing,

I just noticed an annoying ethernet redundancy and I can't figure how to get rid
of it. Or maybe I'm not noticing anything and I'm just crazy. You tell me...

Okay, I'm about to reinstall my Mandrake system off of my 7.2 cds and I'd like
to hear people's recommendations on partition sizes and any specific files I
should make sure I have. Just FYI I've got the whole box set with all seven
cds. There will be two frequent users of this system and
I second the motion. I've got a Zoom 56Kx Dualmode External, it rules. I
connect at 37/38 to my local provider with the kppp set to 57600 (turned out to
be the best speed for me) and it gives a rock solid 6kbps transfer rate. It
cost like $50, so it wasn't bad at all.
Peace,

Okay, I think I've got my head wrapped around the whole swap size issue. Let's
play the game of I say what I think swap is, and then you either pat me on the
head or break out the dunce cap. Here goes:
The point of swap is to serve as a safety net for RAM, when you're all out of
RAM your
What are /var, /opt and /tmp? I think I'd like to use all the different types
of partitions to play around with learning more aspects of system
administration, is this a smart idea or just sort of silly? Thanks for the help.

Have you checked your network settings and your eth0 configuration? Go to a
terminal and enter:
root@localhost /root# netstat -rn
root@localhost /root# ifconfig eth0
What are the printouts from each of those commands?

This has me curious. If I don't need much swap, should I not make much swap?
Or is there no upper limit? If it's the more the marrier, why not always just
make, say, 500MB? I personally have a PIII 866 with 256MB of RAM. What should
my swap size be? On a sidenote, why does it show up when
Since someone just brought it up, could one of the smart people please explain

Thanks,
