  1. I've mounted FreeBSD from Linux on Accessing BSDi Diskslices On Non-BSD OSes? · · Score: 1
    Mounting FreeBSD partitions is old news and has been done before. I've mounted FreeBSD from Linux before, back when I was playing around with FreeBSD. I've also mounted Linux from FreeBSD.

    Here's how from Linux:
    1. Make sure your Linux kernel supports it. If not, recompile with CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL=y in your /usr/src/linux/.config.

    2. When mounting, specify the type:

    mount -t ufs -o 44bsd /dev/hda8 /mnt where YOU REPLACE hda8 with your disk slice reported on Linux bootup (hint: look for "bsd" in the dmesg command output or in file /var/log/messages).

    See the mount man page for details 3. Considere mounting read-only the first time or of you don't plan to modify files: mount -t ufs -o 44bsd,ro /dev/hda8 /mnt 4. If you plan to mount a lot, consider adding an entry to /etc/fstab

  2. Linux 2.1.15 broken for Intel EEPRO 100B NIC clone on Linux 2.2.15 Released · · Score: 1
    I tried Linux 2.1.15 and it no longer recognizes the Intel EEPRO 100B clone card (it uses the same chipset as the 100B). I looked at the patch and there are extensive rewrites for the eepro100.c driver. 2.1.14 and earlier worked just fine.

    (Rant) It's too bad Don Becker and team are no allowed to maintain the Ethernet drivers for Linux anymore--now we have a bunch of apparent amateurs breaking stuff. Oh well. :-(

  3. Re:Enterprise E250, not E10000 replaced on Sun no Longer the "dot" in .com · · Score: 1

    Oops--I meant E450.

  4. Enterprise E250, not E10000 replaced on Sun no Longer the "dot" in .com · · Score: 1

    The story cited has a major error. The root name server "A" was a 4-way Enterprise 250, not a 64-way Enterprise 10000. No way can a S80 replace a E10000, despite IBM's inflated claims.

  5. Re:Solaris 8 performance. on Unix: Which One to Choose? · · Score: 2
    I would ask this on USENET newsgroup alt.solaris.x86.

    Personally, I don't think Sparc Solaris is good as a graphics workstation. Intel Solaris has a wide range of graphic cards available, but not the software (especially compared with BeOS!).

    You can also see my Solaris Intel FAQ at http://sun.drydog.com/faq/

  6. NT Driver for ext2 on Mounting ext2 Partitions From Windows? · · Score: 1
    For those who RTFM :-), you'll find the information you need in the Filesystem HOWTO: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Filesystems-HOWTO-6. html. This includes a viewer for Win 9x and a driver for Win NT.

    The NT Driver is at http://www.chat.ru/~ashedel/ext2fsnt/

    The driver is in a format I never heard of: RAR

    Personally, I use the "ext2 tools" for Win NT. This includes command line tools e2cat, e2cd, e2cp, e2ls, e2part, e2pwd. Not elegant (command line tools), but they get the job done. To use, set the E2CWD DOS environment variable to the drive and partition (e.g., E2CWD=1:2). I don't have a URL (it's dead), but I'm sure you can find it with some searching.

  7. www.netwiz.net on Who is the Best Registrar? · · Score: 1
    I like netwiz.net, part of corenic.net.

    Registration is only $25 a year and changes are web-based. NetWiz is part of CORE, which hosts several registrars.

  8. How about a simple hex calculator (no mode change) on Graphing Calculators for Geeks? · · Score: 1

    I need a simple hex calculator, preferably one that's in hex mode by default (no mode key prerequisite). Not programmable. Any suggestions?

  9. Solaris gif2png on Are You Ready For Burn All GIFs Day? · · Score: 1
    I put together a package for gif2png and web2png on Solaris 2.5.1. It is at ftp://sun.pmbc.com/pub/solaris/gif2png-2.0.1-sun4u -solaris5.5.1.gz

    A tarball with source is in the same FTP directory ftp://sun.pmbc.com/pub/solaris/

  10. The late W. Richard Stevens and IPv6 on Transparent IPv6 with Linux? · · Score: 1
    W. Richard Stevens died September 1, 1999. The previous /. announcement had an obsolete link. Here's his obituary for those interested: http://www.dan.pmbc.c om/6bone/w.richard.stevens.obituary.html

    W. Richard Stevens UNP book is full of well-explained IPv6 material, down to the detailed API level. I highly recommend his books on UNIX or Network Programming or both.

  11. IPv6 Linux Pointers on Transparent IPv6 with Linux? · · Score: 2
    For useful info on installing IPv6 on Linux, see Peter Bieringer's http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/default.html. It has a up-to-date FAQ and pointers to packages. Basically you need to update your servers (telnetd, inetd), some /etc files (such as hosts and protocols), add IPv6-aware libraries, and add clients that are IPv6 aware (such as ifconfig, telnet and ping)

    For 6bone info, see http://www.6bone.net/

  12. Re:Where to buy quick cheap version of CD? on Red Hat Releases Version 6.1 · · Score: 1

    cheapbytes.com usually takes about 4-6 weeks to come up with their version. I've had very good experience with them.

  13. RedHat IPO Confirmed Micro-HOWTO on Red Hat Affinity Offer Extended Until Friday · · Score: 1

  14. Anti-congressional incumbent webpage on Interview: Ask the Internet Political Activists · · Score: 1
    I've set up a web page unfavorable to my Congressional Representative, Randy "Duke" Cunningham (R-CA51). It's only one of two web pages I know of that's against an incumbent (and not sponsored by the opponent). It's at http://www.cunningham.carlsbad.ca.us/.

    How can I make this page more effective in reaching out to the voters of my district?

  15. New linuxhq.org up on LinuxHQ.com Renamed to kernelnotes.org · · Score: 1

    I just noticed a new skelecton

    http://www.linuxhq.org/

    up. It looks unrelated to the LinuxHQ we're used to.
    And I can't reach the

    http://www.kernelnotes.org/

    now.

  16. Differences? on RedHat 6.0 is Out · · Score: 1

    RH 6.0 has Linux 2.2.x kernel, the released KDE, and a newer Gnome, better install/setup/config (they say), among the usual updates.

    BTW, ping/ICMP is blocked to RedHat because of possible Denial of Service (DoS) problems in the past.
