Meeting topics for Sept. 12th

by Andy Stewart

HI gang, I'm looking for a speaker for the Sept. 12th WLUG meeting. If you have a desire to speak on a topic, please bounce your ideas off of me and we'll see if something can be worked out. If you know somebody who'd be a good speaker, please let me know that as well. Finally, I'd like to put out an APB on Rob Bellville. He is our former webmaster, and I"m trying to get in touch with him. His e-mail address doesn't exist any more. If anybody knows Rob or how I can get in touch with him, please contact me ASAP. Thanks in advance, Andy -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org

The box should already be semi setup to use an address between 192.168.1.101-105, or something like that. I don't remember exactly what I used and I'm not at home to check. The LANCE part is the ethernet chip, eth0 is the interface you need to use to access the net. Do you have any errors in the log file when you run dhcpd on the box? It might need to have some stuff put into /etc/dhcpd.conf to get it working right. I can check this at home if need be. And if need be, I can rip a copy of RH 6.1 for Sparc and bring it to the next meeting for those who'd like to get packages for it. John

Re: [Wlug] gettin' the Sparc Classic on the network...

by Ben Dow

Well, I might be a little out of touch with my old-fashioned Slackware ways, but I don't think there's supposed to be a /dev/eth0. DHCP must not be working if it's not showing up in ifconfig, but try ifconfig eth0 to see if the interface exists. You can always try running dhcpcd manually, too.

gettin' the Sparc Classic on the network...

by Sands Fish

Hello all, Settin' up the box I won at the last WLUG meeting. I wanna get it on the network here at work. When I watch the boot messages, I see "eth0 LANCE <mac address>" and "eth0 using auto-carrier-detection", but i don't see an entry for /dev/eth0 when i look there. I can ping the local loopback, but when I try to use DHCP in linuxconf to let it grab an address, but in ifconfig, i still only see the entry for the local loopback. Is there a different location for the eth0 device? Any hints? Anything would be appreciated. Thanx everyone. - Sands Fish - eCommerce - telecomNOW - sands(a)telecomnow.com

Linux Sparc Boxes - freebie and selling

by john＠stoffel.org

Guys, I've got some Sparc Classics with RH 6.1 pre-installed. Mostly they have 1-2gb disks with 32-64mb of RAM, builtin ethernet, SCSI, video. I've also got keyboards and mice to go with each one. I'd like to get rid of these from the garage finally. So I'll be raffling off one tonight at the meeting, and I'll bring others for those who want to pay $40 one. I think I have 8 for sale, maybe more, maybe less. I'll give you money back if it doesn't work out of the box. These suckers make nice home servers, and it's easy to addon extra storage, etc. They all worked just fine when booted and installed over the network not too long ago. Sorry for the late notice, and if I have any left over afterwards, I'll bring em back next time as well. Please send requests to 'john(a)stoffel.org'. Thanks, John

Re: [Wlug] Linux Sparc Boxes - freebie and selling

by A. Perry

John, I can't make it to tonight's WLUG meeting. However, I'd like to buy two of these (@ $40 each) if we can make other arrangements for pickup. Depending on where you live (or work), I can probably come by your house (or workplace) sometime in the next week or so.
