SiS 6326 support - finally

2000-08-20 Thread Michael Levinger
Hi there. I finally got a Diamond SiS 6326 card to work under RedHat, after observing it works well under Mandrake. It seems the linux kernel(s) recognize only the first 4MB of this card's RAM (Diamon says the card has 8MB RAM) and thus you need to specify 4MB under Xconfigurator. I suppose this

rpmfind - is there a better solution ?

2000-08-09 Thread Michael Levinger
Hi there. I think that the policy of rpmfind - namely to store all versions of a software RPM - is becoming unpractical. Say you have about 100 rpms that start with letter g, and about 20 entries for each. You end up with this huge list (700k pages) that take forever to d/l on a 56k link. Is there

samba passwds

2000-07-31 Thread Michael Levinger
Although my samba server is not online now, I'm pretty sure the correct syntax is: smbuseradd (or smbadduser) username:username Pls don't forget that on Windows 98 a password is the only requirement to create a share, whereas SMB requires a user/pass authetication via PAM, and therefore, you nee

/dev/tt0 problems (hagit)

2000-06-14 Thread Michael Levinger
Maybe the problem (in this case) is not linux but rather of bios/irq allocations ? Check to see that the proper IRQ is allocated in your PC bios (according to the modem manual). Otherwise neither linux nor WIndoz will be able to access it... :/ Is anybody out there using LVM ? Going to DECUS next

Re: linux-il Digest V2 #133

2000-05-14 Thread Michael Levinger
Yaniv, I have the same situation. I tried (sic) upgrading the kernel to 2.3.99-pre6 to have LVM (I could have it with earlier versions of 2.3 too) and went to a partial disruption of the kernel - unresolved links at boot - to an absolute mess in less than 6 hours. I RTFM'ed the kernel and modules

LVM x advfs

2000-05-11 Thread Michael Levinger
Ups. Sorry, I realized what I was looking for (extensible filesystems) is most properly called LVM - Logical Volume Management, to be implemented fully in kernel 2.3. If someone has had experience in the past with it, pls tell the list, but anyway I shall try it and post an update to the list. Mor

advances on FS's

2000-05-11 Thread Michael Levinger
Hi all (and herouth, nice to se you here). Does anybody happen to have more info on the implementation of jfs or advfs on current linux distribs ? I see that XFS is almost coming to terms with linux and I plan to implement it as soon as it goes RH-like; but expanding FS's is VERY nice, and I have
