The version of SUSE linux I was running seemed to give
me a problem with DHCP. Ive yet to figure out what it
is, and cable modems should be simple to setup.
Anyways I installed mandrake 8.0 beta 3. The
installation utility is great. I booted in the system
for the first time and was able to use my modem.
Thanx for the reccomendation.
I was wondering if anyone can help me with lilo. When
I boot my machine it only displays LI. I seem to
remember this having to do something with the drive
geometry. Any Ideas? I also installed grub which
when I boot just displays GRUB. What could be wrong?
TIA
Bill

HI gang,
I am starting to write up the last 1/3 of my presentation to the Delphi
Developers group, and its the section on developer tools and utilities. I'd
like some input from you folks as to what I should include in this section.
Emacs - the original "IDE" (???)
gdb for debugging (nicer with DDD front end, IMHO)
make and Makefiles
gcc
What else do "real" Linux developers use? Maybe I'm suffering a brain cramp
this evening, but your input will help.
Also, are there any tools or compilers for Pascal? Remember, the Delphi folks
understand Pascal, and I'm sure they will ask this question. (It has been 20
years since I programmed anything in Pascal...).
Thanks,
Andy

HI gang,
Would somebody who attends the WLUG meeting on Thursday be willing to write up
something which can be posted on LWN, LinuxToday, and LinuxUsersGroups.org?
Kara has asked, and I told her that we'd come up with something.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

Hi Andy,
Looks like you have a fun evening planned for your next LUG meeting. I'd
be interested if you (or someone in your group) would do a write-up about
the special meeting, or perhaps an interview. I'll host it at
LinuxUsersGroups.org and have it posted to LWN and LinuxToday. It'll be a
good opportunity both for your group and for Ziegler's book.

Some things to remember - if these are x86 architecture boxes, you
still have a 3GB per process user space limit. Even with 64GB of RAM,
no single process can see more than 4GB and the top 1GB of that is
mapped as kernel space. Big memory means that you get to have lots of
large virtual address spaces that can remain mapped in physical RAM.
For virtual address spaces with wider than 32-bit addresses, you need
64-bit processors.

You might keep in mind that the Delphi Developers Group is made up of
developers who are 99% likely to use Kylix for development. Therefore, they
won't be much interested in alternative development environments.
However, they WILL be interested in auxiliary tools which are considered
essential to managing applications on Linux not matter what the original
language the app is written in. I would put the rpm and other
packaging/installing tools in this category.
P.S. I think Kylix includes a debugger. If it is as good as the one Borland
has for the Win32 platform then it is all these developers will be using.
Nope, the new kernel will work with 64gb, you just have to go under
"Processor type and features" and change the settings for High Memory
Support.
Tim.

Is linux limited to 4GB memory? I have inherited some boxes with 5GB
each and I'm planning on loading linux.

If not, are there tools to convert it into something viewable on a Linux box?
There are viewers available for Solaris, but not Linux.
Thanks,
