|

Hello all,
|
||||
|
||||
After installing a new kernel and trying several things, the card
|
||||
is ALMOST working. The "eth0" device is there, we can send packets to
|
||||
the portable using the ethernet IP number, and the device dynamically
|
||||
appears and disappears when we hot-swap the card.
|
||||
|
||||
No packets are going out on the attached ethernet, and it isn't
|
||||
receiving any either. The netmask, IP, etc. all appear to be
|
||||
correctly configured.
|
||||
|
||||
Ideas?
|
||||
|
||||
Hardware: Sager 486-66, dual-scan color, D-Link DE-650 PCMCIA
|
||||
card.

This may happen if all files are so small that it takes less than one minute
|

to download each of them. Is this your case?

I tried this but it didn't work. I put following line into

I would like to 'map' some keys on my keyboard, but I don't know how.
|
||||
Here's what I'd like them to do:
|
||||
DELETE -> ^D
|
||||
HOME -> ^A
|
||||
END -> ^E
|
||||
BACKSPACE -> ^H
|
||||
|
||||
This is all I can think of offhand, but if I can learn how to do those,
|
||||
I should be able to add more later. I would like these 'key
|
||||
assignments' to work in text & Xwindows screens.
|

|

Thanks in advance.

Subject: a plea to distribution creators

|
||||
|
||||
If you are creating a Linux distribution, or are running a Linux
|
||||
system based on a distribution, please, Please, PLEASE make sure
|
||||
that your X (shared) library directory is in your ld.so.conf file.
|
||||
That way ldconfig(8) and ld.so(8) will be able to find the libraries,
|
||||
and people will be able to run programs which use those libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if you have installed X libraries in /usr/X11/lib,
|
||||
it would be a good idea to add "/usr/X11/lib" to ld.so.conf.
|
||||
|
||||
(Or, if your X library directory is untrusted, you could have
|
||||
your users add it to their LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.)
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks.
|
||||
|
||||
P.S. By the way, the Linux Filesystem Standard (14 Feb 94) section 4.1
|
||||
indicates that /usr/X386 is the reserved location for XFree86 releases.
|
||||
XF86-2.1-lib.tar.gz installs libraries in /usr/X386/lib.

If Solaris takes the 4.4 BSD route it has a linked list of addresses for

each address family. This worries me for performance reasons. Linux can
