Go up to 7.2, it's x-configuration has been painless for me on: An HP Pavillion 4450 A Compaq Deskpro 3 old Pentium NOTEBOOKS (All compaq) 1 Custom-built web server 1 HP NetServer (I forget the model) 1 Dell 4800 notebook As you can see, there is great x-support in 7.2, it was really mature, 8.0 is even nicer, but if you're on older hardware don't bother becasue you'll take a HUGE performance hit (KDE 2.1 and Nautilus are memory suckers, maybe with a lightweight window manager you'll be ok though..)

All right,
Thank you for the assistance all. It has been helpful. I took Andy & Jeff's lead to check the Kernel and sure enough there is no such device. Is my best bet to try to load a newer version? I am less afraid of this prospect after fighting my way through X problems in 6.0 before going to 7.1. Any words to the wise before embarking on this adventure? Up until now I have used off the shelf disks to get the job done. How much more treacherous is trying to grab stuff on-line?

Basic stuff: if you cannot cat a file to /dev/lp0, then you probably have a kernel related problem. That will need to be fixed first. Jeff's earlier e-mail explains in brief how to do this.
Try something like this:
cat/.cshrc > /dev/lp0
OK, once that works, you know that the kernel is OK.

Hello all, I've been lurking for quite some time now, though i'd pipe up. I've been hosting several very low volume domains through a dedicated dialup starting oh, sheesh, like six years ago via iii.net and using slackware 0.0.9 (am i old or what?). When iii bellied up, I switched to tiac, which was gobbled by psi - now in bankrupcy. suffice it to say that I've seen service levels as low as 95% (two weeks down per year). O.k., sure, I made some sucky choices on my ISP's but what is a guy to do if he's got like four domain names - pay $16.95 per month per domain for hosting? That just bites dead donkey dicks in hell - especially when all the sites combined push less than 1m/day Any suggestions for hosting on the cheap would be greatly appreciated - no dialup required. I have skills I can trade for hosting priviledges - I specialize in enterprise network and systems management (HP OpenView, micromuse, openNMS, UCD SNMP, MRTG, etc). co-location may be even easier - I could just pop my server onto your high-speed acess LAN, reconfig IP addresses, and make it even easier for you - charge me something, but I want to pay for what I serve - not my idiot factor... Peace, Mike the groveler

Go up to 7.2,
Of what? Redhat? Too high a number, I think. I did my homework, looking through all old messages in this thread and found only
I have been making myself at home in KDE 1.1.2 under Linux 2.2.15-4mdk
but there's no Linux kernel 7.2, nor I think KDE. -- -- Keith Wright <kwright@free-comp-shop.com> Programmer in Chief, Free Computer Shop <http://www.free-comp-shop.com> --- Food, Shelter, Source code. ---
Sorry Brian and Keith, I was being silly, when I wrote 2.2.15-4mdk I was assuming that the "mdk" was a cue for Mandrake. Wasn't trying to make that tough. I am now working on seeing if I can fix the missing lsmod pieces as a first step. Colin

Mandrake? I haven't really been paying attention, sorry.
