Re: [techtalk] problem
Sounds like one or more keys is jammed causing major key repeat! Is your keyboard still causing the problem even when you shut down and restart? Turn your PC off, disconnect the keyboard and have a good look at the keys, testing them out, etc...it may be a good time to clean your keyboard.

The only things you need to do to get a parallel port zip to work in Red Hat are: 1) Add this line to your /etc/conf.modules file: alias block-major-8 ppa 2) Create a mount point for your zip drive. (I use /mnt/zip) 3) Add it to your /etc/fstab file with the correct file format 4) Reboot 5) Mount the drive as above. (You can also create a mount/unmount icon in KDE if you like.) Also, I notice that you use the -t vfat switch to get DOS formatted zips. Some of us prefer to format our zip disks as ext2 (Linux native) using mke2fs. It depends how you are going to be sharing your data. Also, if you specify vfat in the fstab file, that would become the default, so the -t switch wouldn't be needed.

Hex is the easiest representation of binary. It is very easy to read if you know
how the hex digits are structured:
0 -
1 - 0001
2 - 0010
3 - 0011
4 - 0100
5 - 0101
6 - 0110
7 - 0111
8 - 1000
9 - 1001
A - 1010
B - 1011
C - 1100
D - 1101
E - 1110
F -
You can also make a little C program to translate every hex digit you read into the
equivalent binary digits.

[techtalk] Building ADSL - LAN
I have been trying to find a source of detailed instructions on setting up a small home LAN attached to the Internet through ADSL. I have read the ADSL Mini How-To, but its examples did not seem to clearly apply to my situation. I am, admittedly, new to the LAN/network game. I have successfully installed my ethernet cards with the help of the Ethernet How-To. Here is a diagram of my LAN. ~ = twisted pair. (Internet) <-> (Alcatel 1000) <-> (Eth0 <-> Eth1) <~> (Windows) I can communicate with the ANT when I boot Windows on the Linux box. (The ANT came with instructions for a Windows setup, and of course none for Linux. *smirk*). I can configure my ANT that way, but that's not my problem. It's getting Linux to communicate. I am running Slackware 4.0 on the Linux box. I want to be able to run a web server and a MUSH off of the box, so using private network numbers is not an option, except possibly between Eth1 and Windows. Since this list is publically archived, I have used xxx for the first three octets for my own security. I -do- plan to firewall, but that is an issue I will tackle once I already have the lan connected. I did find a site very helpful in generating the firewall I needed: http://www.swbell.net/ I have a /28, with xxx.xxx.xxx.241-245 available to me, a netmask of 255.255.255.248, and the gateway given me by the ISP is xxx.xxx.xxx.246 If there is anyone who has used this sort of setup or knows where a guide is on it out there in Internet Land, I would appreciate the assistance.

Re: [techtalk] Building ADSL - LAN
Thank you for the pointer, and I am certain that I might be interested in this later, but upon reading the document, I do have IP addresses of the public variety that I can assign to each card that I have on my network. I do not need to use the private network addresses, and I would rather refrain from doing so until I have everything working to avoid dealing with another topic at the same time. I have quoted the how-to below, and I would like advice concentrating on cases 1 and/or 2, and worry about assigning private addresses later. It's not going to cost me any more to use the IP addresses I've already been given, and its not going to cost me less not to use them :) "2.4 Who Doesn't Need IP Masquerade? If your machine is a stand-alone Linux host connected to the Internet, then it is pointless to have IP Masquerade running, or if you already have assigned addresses for your OTHER machines, then you don't need IP Masquerade, and of course, if you don't like the idea of a 'free ride'.

Using your above example, connect the Alcatel 1000 (I presume this is the ADSL modem), Eth0 and the Windows NIC to the network hub, assign IP addrs to the Linux Box and the Windows box, point the gateway at xxx.xxx.xxx.246, and all SHOULD be happy.

It's getting Linux to communicate. If booting into Windows gets you connected to the outside world, then it sounds like the routing/network configuration isn't getting setup properly (or possibly the network card isn't playing nice with Linux, but you seemed to indicate otherwise). Run ifconfig, or route -n. Those will help you in debugging the connection.

If not, you'll have to compile it, which means a kernel compile, this time with the appropriate drivers enabled (either in the kernel or as modules). See the instructions for compiling the kernel that come with the kernel source. I don't know off the top of my head which drivers are required for parallel ZIP drives.

The more info, the better the help. :) Option # 1 -- If you have multiple public IP addresses that route to/through your ADSL connection, then you should just be able to hook up an ethernet hub to your ADSL "modem" and toss all your PCs on it. Option # 2 -- A more complicated alternative is to put all your machines "behind" your Linux box and make it a router. This would then be able to do firewalling down the road. Have a look at the Linux Networking HOWTO http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/NET3-4-HOWTO.html and have a look at the section on routing. This could get complicated since it will probably involve subnetting your assigned IP range. Unless you have a couple class C networks to play with, you probably don't want to get in to this. Opinions may vary. I'd love to hear them. Option #3 - Even if I had multiple assigned IP addresses, I would go with the IP Masquerade setup. You can still use those addresses outside: either aliased to your outside ethernet card (handy for DNS, virtual hosts, etc) or mapped through to the inside for special purposes (ssh directly to an inside box) using ip forwarding. Having a private network internally is not only easier to set up than option #2 above, but also gives you more flexibility with your external (read valuable) IP addresses. You could even combine option #1 and option #3 if you wanted to have a few machines outside (DMZ) and your internal machines inside. Have a look at the latest version of the IP Masq mini HOWTO. (sorry I didn't check the version before) http://members.home.net/ipmasq/ipmasq-HOWTO-1.78.html Specifically, have a look at section 6.5. You can pretty much copy that to an rc file (with a few edits for your particular info) and voila, everything works and is relatively secure. This assumes a box with a reasonably current distro, a 2.2.x kernel, and two working/configured ethernet cards. Anyway, my prefered route is pretty obvious. :) Obviously, it is not the only one. -- Amos Hayes [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://polkaroo.net/~ahayes [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org

I can't believe I didn't notice the subject before I posted a question about what flavour of zip. Duh! Anyway. Can you post more info? Which zip drive is it? Is it an original, a zip 100 plus, or a zip 250? When your linux box is booting, do you see any info about a ppa/imm module or the zip disk? Is that where you saw the sda4? If not then I suspect that you either haven't built what you need into the kernel, you aren't loading the module at boot up, or you are loading the lp driver before the ppa or imm driver. To solve that last problem you have to recompile the kernel and choose to make the parrallel port printing code as a module. Then have the kernel load it after the ppa/imm module. At least, this is what I was able to determine from the mini HOWTO.

It's kind of a kludge, but it can work. Alternately, you can see about asking your ISP if you can set up your own router (the linux machine) and have them give you an IP at their end that you can route *to*. As for firewalling, check out http://ipchains.nerdherd.org I will be setting up something similar in a few weeks when our SDSL gets hooked up. -Ian -- wow, this is kinda nifty. the win98 protocol stack is like a chinese finger puzzle, twist and turn in the right places, and it pops right off --Seen on EFNet IRC [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org

RE: [techtalk] gcc supported platforms
Hi therre I found this on the egcs site ... so I would guess these are the supported architectures ..

RE: [techtalk] gcc supported platforms
don;t know if this will help .. Configurations Supported by GNU CC Here are the possible CPU types: 1750a, a29k, alpha, arm, cn, clipper, dsp16xx, elxsi, fr30, h8300, hppa1.0, hppa1.1, i370, i386, i486, i586, i686, i786, i860, i960, m32r, m68000, m68k, m88k, mips, mipsel, mips64, mips64el, mn10200, mn10300, ns32k, pdp11, powerpc, powerpcle, romp, rs6000, sh, sparc, sparclite, sparc64, v850, vax, we32k. Here are the recognized company names. As you can see, customary abbreviations are used rather than the longer official names. acorn, alliant, altos, apollo, apple, att, bull, cbm, convergent, convex, crds, dec, dg, dolphin, elxsi, encore, harris, hitachi, hp, ibm, intergraph, isi, mips, motorola, ncr, next, ns, omron, plexus, sequent, sgi, sony, sun, tti, unicom, wrs. The company name is meaningful only to disambiguate when the rest of the information supplied is insufficient. You can omit it, writing just `cpu-system', if it is not needed. For example, `vax-ultrix4.2' is equivalent to `vax-dec-ultrix4.2'. Here is a list of system types: 386bsd, aix, acis, amigaos, aos, aout, aux, bosx, bsd, clix, coff, ctix, cxux, dgux, dynix, ebmon, ecoff, elf, esix, freebsd, hms, genix, gnu, linux-gnu, hiux, hpux, iris, irix, isc, luna, lynxos, mach, minix, msdos, mvs, netbsd, newsos, nindy, ns, osf, osfrose, ptx, riscix, riscos, rtu, sco, sim, solaris, sunos, sym, sysv, udi, ultrix, unicos, uniplus, unos, vms, vsta, vxworks, winnt, xenix. http://egcs.cygnus.com/onlinedocs/gcc_3.html#SEC49 henti / bain > -Original Message- > From: Vinnie Surmonde [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, October 07, 1999 2:30 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [techtalk] gcc supported platforms > > > > well, I've searched the howtos, searched the site and I can't > seem to find > a canonical 'list of gcc supported platforms' document...any ideas on > where to find one? > > Vinnie > -- > Reality is a formality, an agreed upon set of lies -- J.D.
