>Something like this: > >append="mem=128M" >append="10,0x6800,eth0" Here is my WAG: append="mem=128M 10,0x6800,eth0" But something is nagging me, saying that the "10,0x6800,eth0" needs something like: "something=10,0x6800,eth0" In any event, I'd try putting everything into one

Re: 2 separate "append" lines in Lilo?

Try: append="mem=128M" append="ether=10,0x6800,eth0" <-- don't forget ether or: append="mem=128M ether=10,0x6800,eth0" --- Matt Housh email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MicroComputer

RE: ISA SCSI for Old 486?

We use several old 486 Dell boxes loaded with Linux for testing, serving, etc... The EZ-drive software is available at http://www.microhouse.com. It is the same make of software that WD ships with its drives. You'll need a DOS partition for this. An improved IDE controller will also do the tri

Re: Linux on (Dell) PCs

2 separate "append" lines in Lilo?

Samba Password Problems

I _know_ that this has been discussed many times previously, and I _did_ read several readmes and searced the samba web site archives but I am still stuck. Some particulars: 1) Networking between linux and win95 boxes work correcly. 2) I can smbmount win95 shares on my linux box. 3) Win95 netwo

Soundcard Problems

I've got a CS4232 based soundcard (Crystal Semiconductor) which refuses to work on my system. That is to say, the driver in the kernel. I keep getting errors when I compile: (using 2.1.99) drivers/sound/sound.a(cs4232.o): In function `probe_cs4232': cs4232.o(.text+0xb2): undefined refere
