The fifth field, (fs_freq), is used for these filesystems by the dump(8)
command to determine which filesystems need to be dumped. If the fifth
field is not present, a value of zero is returned and dump will assume
that the filesystem does not need to be dumped.
Ok folks, thanks to all of you I have it fixed, I had to recompile the kernel and be
sure that vfat support was included, somehow I'd left it out.
Along the way Someone suggested I run make xconfig instead of make config, this was

I have looked through a few of the places that are listed on

list modems that require win95/98/NT.

pricewatch doesn't sell systems, it just lists places you can buy
systems and their corresponding prices. Oftentimes, you have to double
check with the manufacturer about the prices listed there and the
product that they have on their site (we've had problems with this in
the past).

My windows and linux file names are truncated, but you're right about how I mount
windows, at first after I recompiled windows was not automatically mounted so I edited
fstab and at that time changed it to msdos from vfat. would that affect my linux
files as well?

With that much CPU it's probably the case that your CPU was spending

Is this doing 'ls' on a windows filesystem?
If so, I don't see how it's related to the new kernel. That's (in my
experience) controlled by how you mount it. If it's mounted as an msdos
Ok, here I am back again with yet another issue. I downloaded and compiled the latest
kernel because it has a driver for my sound pro wanna be sound card.
I am sure I chose a wrong option someplace along the way because now my long file

Any ideas what I can do to fix this
Oh, RH was not pre-installed, it came on a CD as the operating system for the box.
They said they could not install linux on the system as it was too difficult.
What they should have said is that it is not compatable. I could not get a decent

Not at all. You are welcome here. You asked a bunch of techies about a

Not really...a 56k modem is better anyday :) But there may be slight

Agreed.
The safest bet, and (from what I can tell) the most reliable is to
purchase an external modem. That's assuming you have an available serial
port.

I use the 56k modem on windows all the time and don't notice any severe drag on my
system...
so guess I'll install that driver and save some money.

it's been a while since i last compiled a kernel (currently,2.2.13 done just
after my latest linux install) but in the module support,there's a switch for
module version,try to use the switch and see if you can load the module with
your current kernel (you need to recompile though).
