Sorry Ben, it's simply TOO S-L-O-W compared to NS 4.76. IF performance improves to where it should be, then I'll gladly use it. Fred -- ----/ / _ Fred A.

I tried it under my mother's PC with Win98 and get a good 44000 connection. I know it is not linux at fault but wondering if during a powercut some setting was altered which the Windows inf file sets but I must set for Linux. It is an Aztech EM6800 E Modem if that helps.

If so how through were they? How useful were they when applying for a UNIX Sys Admin position? Would you do it again? I am thinking of using a program such as Sair to instruct Home School High School students on Unix System Administration.

Message-ID: <79C9E272CA9DD111A6910060082B1BE37CE9A5@HAPPY> From: Dee McKinney <dmckinney(a)akfiberstar.com> Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2000 12:27:57 -0900 Subject: The New Hardware Well I built my new workstation last weekend. ASUS A7V w/AMD Athlon 900Mhz (Thunderbird ?) 256meg PC133 Ram & ATI Rage 2000 AGP 32meg video IBM EIDE 46gig HD Adaptec 2940UW & Plextor 40X UW SCSI cd-rom SB Live PCI sound card I loaded SuSE 7.0 Professional up and used YaST2 which worked fine except : 1. The SB Live was picked up and identified correctly by YaST2 in the install, but would not load the module ? It's in slot 5 on the MB and works fine in MS 98. 2. The 3C905-TX was picked up and identified correctly by YaST2 in the install, but would not load the module ? It's in slot 4 on the MB and works fine in MS 98. Other than no LAN connection and sound, this is a very nice system and performs much better (faster, etc.), than my older AMD K2-450Mhz 3D-Now system. Thanks to all who recommended the hardware. I would like to know if anyone is using the A7V with Athlon and how they got the NIC working ...I need to get my LAN connection up. Best Regards /Dee

Re: [SLE] CD-RW can't access through /dev/scdx

Yes, I have (or had) hdc (CD-RW, now dead) and hdd (an ATAPI DVD which is still recognised as /dev/cdrom1 liked to /dev/hdd). At the moment I am 3 days away from my SuSE 7.0 manual. Can anyone give me a cheap and cheerful quick solution as to how to get /dev/scd0 recognised? BTW, I have used YAST to point /dev/cdrom to /dev/scd0. But trying to mount either /dev/cdrom or /dev/scd0 or /dev/hdc results in a not recognised device error. Or do I need to make hdd ide-scsi simulated too? Any syntax help with the links whilst I am out here in the sticks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, Steve.

I really need a browser that doesn't crash on the Java applets I need to use for work. If I can't get Netscape to install is there any other Linux browser out there with good Java support? KDE2's browser, maybe? I've been MS-free for 4 years now and I dread the thought that I may have to install Windows just to get a close to functional browser. Thanks, Greg -- http://www.2fortheroad.net

And as a matter of believe, I'd prefer an Open Source program. It should be able to easily create (automated) and restore incrimental backups to and from a network location (not a local tape/CDRW drive). Has anyone got any possitive experience with a particular program? Thanks for any help Kind regards Guy
