Free Software Consortium is a multinational consortium established to link the
companies and the independent consultants that use and promote free software.
One of the bigger obstacles to the development of the free software services
market is the fear of many companies to establish contracts with independent
consultants who do not have support of a well known Company, Corporation or
Consortium. Questioning quality, support, experience and capability to
successfully complete a project are the companies manager's main concerns when
considering the option of migrating their systems to free software.
Like you, we know the excellent quality that Free Software offers.
We have complete confidence that Free Software is going to be the platform of
the future. That is why it's so important to work and consolidate together to
solve the problem mentioned above.
Free Software Consortium intends to fill this void joining the best free
software companies and consultants at the national and international level.
By joining to Free Software Consortium you or your company will have the
following benefits:
1. Possibility of being hired by other Consortium members.
2. Possibility of hiring other Consortium members.
3. Use of the Consortium image and name with your clients.
4. Use of the Consortium's resources like Publicity Brochures, Business Cards,
Banners for presentations and events, financial presentations, publicity
articles for the press and magazines, support via mailing list and forums with
the Consortium's members, marketing and communication assistance, CD's and
manuals from the Consortium, site and mail hosting (yourarea.fsc.cc) and other
future services.
5. Representation of the FS Consortium in your area to share administrative,
legal and marketing resources between the Consultant members in your area.
Free Software Consortium will establish a contract with an Agent company which
will have exclusive representation in it's area, in charge of organizing the
consultants in the area. This Agent company will provide the administrative
services, marketing and sales with the local customers.
I'm trying to get oss sound modules compiled into kernel.
make xconfig was easy enough to get through.
instructions say to then make dep and make bzImage or bzlilo.
1. I get errors on this, because I'm above cylinder 1023 on my dual-boot
drive. I boot linux from floppy with lilo. Error message suggests using
lba32 option, but it doesn't say where or how to use it. How do I get
around this?
2. Instructions say next to install the kernel. Is that done by typing
make install? In addition to the make install that comes after make
modules? (see below)
3. I haven't been able to create a lilo boot disk for awhile. I'm using
Yast2 to configure boot mode, and it keeps telling me that my floppy is
write protected and it can't access the boot sector. I've tried this
with new floppies that have been formated with fdformat /dev/fd0.
Thanks for any insight.
Here are the instructions I'm looking at:
> 1. To make the kernel sound modules, cd to your /usr/src/linux
> directory (typically) and type make config, make menuconfig,
> or make xconfig (to start the command line, dialog, or x-based

> 2. Select the Sound option and a dialog will be displayed.
>

>
> 4. Select your sound driver(s) as a module. For ProAudio, Sound
> Blaster, etc., select M (module) for OSS sound modules.

OK, I've been going along merrily with my SuSE 7.2 for about a year, and
I just now ran into a problem that a lot of you folks must know all too
well. Install a new program and it calls for a package you don't have.
You've all seen the lists, I'm sure.
I'm trying to install ecawave and ALSA 0.9, and I've had to install some
gtk and gnome stuff, and I went to look at upgrading the whole gnome
package. There's a list of more than 50 things to compile, and they must
be done in the correct order. Do people actually do that? Is there any
advantage of doing that over upgrading the whole distribution?
Has anyone ever used bioswriter or a similar utility to get your bios settings
from CMOS? I'm trying to read it with bioswriter with little success as I'm
not sure what to do with the image file.
I'm wondering there is a way to hack this bios to let me turn "plug and play
os" off, as I'm fairly certain it's on by default and the given interface is
pretty limited.
Or am I breaking the law to edit my bios settings.... on the computer I OWN.

Someone asked about recording under linux recently, and I recall that
several of us said we'd never been able to do it. I just did it.
In alsamixer, space bar sets the channel you want to use for capture.
(line in is a reasonable choice)
Had to manually edit /etc/asound.conf to turn on the input gain and set
the level to 10,10. It looks like this:
element("Input Gain Switch",0,101,Switch2(on))
; Voice 0 : Min 0 Max 15
; Voice 1 : Min 0 Max 15
element("Input Gain Volume",0,200,Volume1(10,10))
I'm trying to make a cross-compiler on an i386 linux box to a ppc darwin
(OSX) box. I downloaded binutils, configured them with
./configure --target=powerpc-apple --prefix=/usr/local
Build them, and installed them.
Then I went and got gcc (with g++), configured it with:
./configure --target=powerpc-apple-darwin --prefix=/usr/local
I also made a symlink from /usr/local/powerpc-apple ->
/usr/local/powerpc-apple-darwin since it seemed to fix a problem in the
gcc compile.
When I try to build gcc, it goes for a minute or so, and then I get this
towards the end:
libbackend.a(varasm.o): In function `assemble_alias':
/data/hughesm/tmp/gcc-3.1/gcc/varasm.c:5184: undefined reference to
`ASM_OUTPUT_DEF'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [cc1] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/data/hughesm/tmp/gcc-3.1/gcc'
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2
I'm not really asking for the exact cause of the error... I'm just
trying to figure out if I'm even going about this the correct way. The
documentation on cross compiling is a bit sparse. It seems odd to me
that the targets don't match (but there is no powerpc-apple-darwin in
binutils, and no powerpc-apple in gcc)
All that being said, I'm doing this so I can add my linux boxes to my
OSX build farm. Check out distcc.samba.org for a wicked cool and easy
way to distribute compiles.

Hello everyone:
I would like to know what would be the way to install
and configure APACHE, PHP (with Oracle support), and
MYSQL on Debian 3.0?
Should I get the latest tarball versions of all these
and just compile it or should I just get the debian
packages and install them?
How well do these servers run on Debian?
Is there a better distro for them?
Thanks in advance for all your help and sorry for all
the questions in one post.
You input would be apreciated.

> apt-get install libc6-dev
After installing libc6-dev the configuration now
works. Now I have another problem. I'm trying to
configure PHP with Oracle 8i support:
./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.27
--enable-track-vars --with-oracle --with-mysql
--enable-url-includes
and get this error:
checking for Oracle-ORACLE support... yes
checking Oracle Install-Dir...
checking Oracle version... configure: error: Oracle
needed libraries not found
Do I need Oracle server installed on the same box
Apache and php are or could I just install a third
party library to support Oracle?
I have Oracle 8i installed on a different box running
RH 7.2 and I would like to connect to this box through
a php webpage from the Debian box.
I did a search "installing php with oracle support on
debian" and didn't get much on it.
Can it be done?
Thanks everyone for your time and input.
