What can I get rid of?

2003-04-05 Thread Nathan S.
I'm running linux and Mac on a 4 GB harddrive. The linux partition is, regrettably, smaller than the Mac partition and is quickly running out of room (only 470 MB free!). I haven't been using linux long enough, so I don't know what I can delete to free up some space. Any suggestions as to wh

power management on beige g3

2003-02-23 Thread Nathan S.
How does one get power management on an oldworld G3? New-world has PMUD (right?), but I beleive that I have a CUDA ... whatever that means. Any attempt to find information on my own has been futile =(. If anyone can help me out (even if it is to tell me IT CAN"T BE DONE) then I'd appreciate it

DMASOUND, scsi

2003-02-20 Thread Nathan S.
I compiled my own kernel yesterday (feeling very proud of doing just that) and have fixed some problems. I have questions about dma sound and scsi though. I compiled (kernel-source-2.4.18 with patch from kernel.org) with CONFIG_DMASOUND_PMAC=y and CONFIG_DMASOUND=y, but get no sound. Do I need j

What method to get kernel source?

2003-02-17 Thread Nathan S.
It seems like there are multiple ways of getting kernel source. I'm new to Debian/Linux, so I don't know which method would be best for me, so I would like to ask for some pointers before I have to make the 24 MB download. I have a beige g3/233 if it affects anything. I look forward to waiting fo

in search of Programming tutorial

2003-02-15 Thread Nathan S.
I'm looking for a good tutorial that explains the rudimentary basics of c/c++ programming on linux. I recently (only a couple of months) switched to linux from MacOS because I wanted to get into programming, but it didn't make sense to jump head first into mac programming with no c/c++ background,

Keyboard messed up with new kernel

2002-12-30 Thread Nathan S.
I have a feeling that this is a common problem, but I haven't been able to find any explanations. I just installed a new kernel (2.4.2 stable from the bitkeeper tree on ppckernel.org). I'm using BootX, so I installed the kernel and the modules on the linux partition and then installed the kernel

XFree86 and beige G3 ATI card

2002-11-23 Thread Nathan S.
I've been having some problems getting X to start on my biege G3. The video card is an ATI Mach64 Turbo (I think), but the driver "ati" isn't working for it. I've also tried "ati/atimisc", "atimisc", and "vga", but none of them work. I should mention that I haven't entered the busid or chipset i
