Come and get it: ftp://angus.ind.wpi.edu/pub/mirrors/redhat/linux/8.0/en ISO's and full install tree. wpila.org seems to be down right now, so when it comes back could one of you forward my message to them?

I know the problem, anyone know the commands...

Hi gang, I've tracked down my usb problem. It appears that both my acpi and usb controllers are competing for irq 9; what I need to do is set my irq for usb to 11 and then it should work. How do I switch irq values?? Wes

Download Plugin for Mozilla...
by Stephen C. Daukas Oct. 4, 2002

Oct. 4, 2002

Hi all! I keep getting this annoying message from Mozilla 1.0 about a Download Plugin Download abvailable from Netscape. This happens almost everytime I go to a webpage to unsubscribe from some of the junk mail I get. I have tried looking for a Download Plugin Download at both Mozilla and Netscape, but have come up empty handed. Anyone know of such a thing? Thanks! Steve

RE:[Wlug] Red Hat 8.0

Earlier this week I installed a minimalist configuration of RH 8.0 on my old Thinkpad 365XD (P133/40MB/6GB). The configuration works fine except for being slow due to lack of processor and memory (40 MB RAM is max'd). The only snag I ran into was a hang on install just before the first RPM installs. The machine locked up there twice during the text install. I found this lockup only happened to me doing a "custom" install and not the "workstation" install. RH 8.0 does seem improved over RH 7.X in terms of the quality of fonts and GUI mods. I also found more things I could quickly disable features to make life bearable on this old hardware (wallpaper,menu icons,etc). Unfortunately, I have not tried other distributions yet and cannot intelligently compare them to RH 7.X or 8.0. My next step is to find a very small window manager to hopefully make this machine perform reasonably in X. Currently I am considering replacing the default Gnome with either IceWM and Enlightenment.

Sendmail

Where can I get detail documentation about Sendmail and Qmail ? I mean, the documentations on their site both are meaningless for me. Well, it's all just about the the pop3, smtp, virtualhost, etc. Thanks!

sources???
by Bill Mills-Curran Oct. 3, 2002

Oct. 3, 2002

I'm looking at some software I have to build at work, and I'm trying to work with RedHat 8.0, even though I don't have it yet. I'm curious about a particulare "binary" package: kernel-source-2.4.18-14.i386.rpm and similarly: glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.20.i386.rpm These are clearly source files. How do they compare with: kernel-2.4.18-14.src.rpm ???? In particular, I'd like to try building my package (targeting 8.0) on my 7.2 box. (Maybe that's unrealistic. It's a fibre HBA driver module.) At any rate, why the mixup with the "sources"? And, why would header files be non-relocatable on the install? (At least the kernel headers are with 7.2. TIA, Bill

You should be able to specify with options in the conf.modules or modules.conf when the module loads which IRQ to use.

RE: [Wlug] samba shares & win98 usernames
by Simoncini, Matthew Oct. 3, 2002

Oct. 3, 2002

I'm sorry I didn't follow this thread from the start, but I can explain how we have Samba setup at our client site: We are running Samba 2.2.2 on the server side (Solaris 2.6 or 2.7) with mostly Windows 2000 clients connecting on the client side. When I want to map my home directory from my Windows 2000 client, I use Map Network Drive and supply the following information: Drive: <some letter> Folder: \\clemens\simoncim When I hit finish, it maps my Unix home directory without any problems.

samba shares & win98 usernames
by Bill Mills-Curran Oct. 3, 2002

Oct. 3, 2002

I want to set up some samba shares to be mounted on my win98 box, and I'd like to protect the shares with usernames and passwords, but I can't remember how to specify a username from the win98 box. I seem to remember a way by adding the username to the share spec, but I can't find any documentation on the subject. Any ideas? Or should I use a different approach? (I have 3 kids & a wife who are mainly windows users, but will sometimes use my linux box. I'd like them to be able to read/write their files from either machine.) TIA, Bill
