[SuSE Linux] 2.2.4 kernel, ipchaining, and speed
by zentara＠mindspring.com 27 Mar '99

27 Mar '99

Hi, I read that ipchaining has replaced ipforwarding to do ip masquerading with a couple of machines. I lucked out and got it to work. My router is connected with a 33.6 modem, and my lan machine is connected thru a 10 M/sec ethernet. I'm getting download speeds of large files on my masqueraded lan machine of 1.5K/sec , which is about half my 33.6 bandwidth. I have the setserial on the com port set to spd_vhi and my ppp0 MYU is 1514. So is this about the download speed that I should expect, even if my router isn't using any bandwidth, i.e. idle? Could I ever expect to get the full 33.6 bandwidth on the masqueraded machine? Or is there something that I can adjust? -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Steve, A friend of mine had this working with absolutely no effort whatsoever. (assuming you've got scsi in the kernel). Just create several mount points (cdrom0-6 etc), and the thing just automatically unmounts and mounts each time you do a search down the tree! Brilliant stuff.

Hi I've been trying, without success, to install SuSE 5.3 on a very old 386 laptop with a plip connection to my main linux box.

[SuSE Linux] Why bogomips values are so different ?
by alex＠daniloff.com 27 Mar '99

27 Mar '99

Hello SuSE folks! I have a dual processor PII 400 SuSE 6.0 Linux box. I compiled kernel with SMP=1 enabled in the Make file. When I used original 2.0.36 kernel which came with distro I had a total of 801.18 bogomips on the both processors. cpu0 - 400.59 bogomips cpu1 - 400.59 bogomips Looks like the system load on the both processors was splitted evently. When I downloaded and compiled a new 2.2.4 kernel with SMP option enabled, I got the total of 800.36 bogomips on the both processors. cpu0 - 400.59 bogomips cpu1 - 399.77 bogomips Why these values are so different ? I suspected that there was something wrong with cpu1. I changed the new kernel to the old original one and again I got all previous bogomips values on the both processors as 400.59 and 400.59 Does it mean that the new 2.2.4 kernel splits processor load unevently or I should change something in somewhere. Does somebody know what represents bogomips as a parameter in a general meaning?

Is it possible to setup a Pioneer DRM-624x CD-Rom Six Pack as one single drive?? What I would like to do is set it up so I can put all the SuSE distro CDs in one cartridge and not have worry about swapping them all the time.

To date, Linux Advocacy has not bored the corporate "wankers"... it has only insulted them and turned them completely off of Linux. If microsoft started striking back by calling linux silly names ("The Kiddy-Hacker's OS with the fat penguin and the Featureless Win95-clone Window Manager") that would instantly discount anything they say, and turn consumers off of MS products. And they themselves would guarantee that no Linux user would consider becoming an NT user. There are proper ways to advocate a product, and there are self-defeating ways. Slamming the competition using childish rhetoric is definitely a way of segregating and excluding yourself from the market. Microsoft has proven extremely good at discounting Linux without being offensive. They *sound* like they know what they are talking about. Words like 'doze and Microshit certainly don't give people the impression that the writer knows what they are talking about. Yes, in my opinion and observations, Linux kicks the bejeesus out of NT, but the state of Linux promotion by people with less-than-intelligent catch phrases and nicknames is not convincing the NT users of this. If it weren't for the fact that Linux actually *is* a good OS, and works so well for what I do, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole, considering the negative reaction all this bad-mouthing is causing. It is definitely not converting many NT users to Linux!

[SuSE Linux] Can't ping any Win95 client(s)
by ljackson＠techlinks.com 27 Mar '99

27 Mar '99

...after recompiling my kernel with IP Forwarding and Masquerading support. I can only ping my SuSE Linux gateway (i.e. eth1 with 192.168.1.1) from any Win95 clients on my local network. Given the output from the link to my dmesg/ifconfig/route results web page posted at: <A HREF="http://www.techlinks.com/helpme.txt"><A HREF="http://www.techlinks.com/helpme.txt</A">http://www.techlinks.com/helpme.txt</A</A>> ...is there anything obvious that would suggest what the problem may be? I'm simply trying to configure my Linux box with two network cards...1 to connect to my ADSL router and the other to connect to my internal network (i.e. 192.168.1.0). Thanks Lester NOTE: If this is not an appropriate place to post this message, please say so. I felt this border lined support/forum material. I'm merely looking for other SuSE users who may have experienced this.
