Hey Farley Still fussin 'n figtin, eh? OK my problem is solved ( seems there is a changing list of kernel options that can be appended or must be appended regarding ide devices when you have more than four.... another thread, but I'm cool now ) so I can help you if someone else hasn't...

Hello I think the big question is what is "perform a virtual swap" and who/what determined there was a disk reading error and on what partition - linux or windows? This is all important to know but in the meantime you can use a lilo boot floppy such as the first diskette ( if you...

Hello By "some of them" are you referring to "sessions" or alternative Window Managers? Both GDM and KDM get their cues from XDM which draws from XSessions and Xresources. Poking around in these will allow you to delete the call for a particular WM but not the WM itself...

Hello One quick fix is to run "Xvidtune" which will allow you to re-align up/down, right/left. Ultimately knowing exact monitor specs and proper modelines is the best answer. Jimmy

Hello Yes Knoppix, Morpheus and other Live CD Linux OS's do indeed r0x and give you a chance to discover at least a good sized glimpse of the power that is linux. However it is highly doubtful that your CD is as fast as your hard drives so naturally some stuff is gonna be slower, and you...

Hi Before anybody is going to be able to help you, you need to reveal something about your modem like Internal or External? Whether or not it is a WinModem ( a software modem ) whwther or not "other device" actually has been assigned a /dev such as /dev/tty0 or something. You may...

Hello I don't mean to backtrak but I'd like to know more about your router setup and perhaps I have a workaround or at least a diagnostic help until you resolve what appears to be a DHCP issue on your intranet and only with linux dhcp client ( since Windows DHCP resolves DNS calls correctly )...

Hello ......Dual boot or use some ragtag classic pentium wondows box just for Office stuff that just has to be M$ and access it through your linux box through the network. You can even use VNC to have your doze desktop on your linux screen. Crossover and Wine aren't bad but native is always...

Hello I'd just like to point out or to reinforce the value of having one's system boot to console by default rather than going directly into some x-session. Once there and after you run any of that deep low-level important stuff like video driver installation you can either start whatever...

Jeff You definitely need to know what hardware you have to ever get Linux to run the way you want. Many soundcards and videocards are supportable right in the kernel if you can't find modules/drivers. nVidia cards are very well supported in Linux by nVidia themselves and in fact many people...

Jeff Since you mentioned on another thread you'd like my input I figured I'd jump in with something even though it won't be in-depth just now as I'm heavily involved in trying to understand how the linux kernel actually "sees" and labels ide drives and then understand exactly what...

Hello Having tried nearly a dozen distros, including RedHat, I suppose I should first say "stop worrying...RH is OK". Linux is a kernel so all distros share in the basic power and configurability that is Linux. The "raison d'etre" for different distros is basically the...
