The problem may be that you're running the drive at a higher UDMA level than the controller can support. I had problems like this when I plugged an ATA-100 hard drive into an older computer with only an ATA-33 controller. The work around is either to turn the Maximum UDMA level down on the hard drive itself (with the dos utils provided by the manufacture) or turn it down in Linux using hdparm -X6n, where n = 6 -> UDMA2 -> ATA-33 8 -> UDMA4 -> ATA-66 9 -> UDMA5 -> ATA-100... iirc, check with your manpage to make sure.
Ya, I bought one of the left over posters after they cancelled the game. Sad how the ultimate space sim never made it out of development. But then again, Sierra and Relic did make Homeworld, which IMO is damn good.
Another game that never made it was Star Control 4. Although Warcraft adventures might make a come back. I saw something like it at E3 this year, a Diablo type game in 3D with humans and orcs.
It's a great surprise to me, that after 200+ years of space travel, the federation (or any other race for that matter) have learned to BUCKLE UP during battle when you know if your ship gets hit someone will go flying in a spectacular manner.
There's been some last minute updates to slackware. From the changelog:
Wed Jun 19 07:02:39 PDT 2002 Slackware 8.1.01-stable is released. a/sysvinit-2.84-i386-19.tgz: Added -M to fix quotacheck for reiserfs. d/cvs-1.11.2-i386-2.tgz: Added docs in text format. n/apache-1.3.26-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to apache-1.3.26.
This fixes the issue described in:
"CERT Advisory CA-2002-17 Apache Web Server Chunk Handling Vulnerability"
While the impact of this issue is minimal on 32 bit Linux systems, we felt it
was important enough to stop the presses and get these fixes in before sending
the Slackware 8.1 discs in for replication.
(* Security fix *) n/mod_ssl-2.8.9_1.3.26-i386-1.tgz: Upgraded to mod_ssl-2.8.9_1.3.26. rootdisks/rescue.dsk: Added network/pcmcia scripts.
Tue Jun 18 10:47:47 PDT 2002 Slackware 8.1-stable is released!:-)
We're running it on a k6-233 with 64 mb of ram =X but it's handling the load very well. We have at least a T1 and it seems people from our.EDUs on the west coast are getting great speeds.
Special thanks to alphageek and the gang of #slackware on OPN for setting up the mirrors of slackware-current, you guys rock!
>the Abit KT7 in my dad's machine is the most twitchy and unstable board I've had the misfortune of using
again, more anecdotal evidence, abit motherboards are popular and I too own one and I can just as easily say I go 6 month without rebooting.
It's easy to blame the motherboard for other problems such as a cheap unreliable power supply or bad ram or a misbehaving pci (ahem, sound blaster live) card. Some boards/chipsets are more sensitive to these problems than others. (In your case, the 80 ECS K7S5As are from a different manufacture and they have a different chipset)
I personally believe in buying name brand hardware backed by a good tech support and a good return policy. A lot of times it's the luck of the draw and people end up with bad boards. But I like the fact that ABIT is frequently releasing new BIOS revisions to add new features and bugfixes to their boards. I know the KT7 has had at least 10 bios releases in the past year. And of course, buying it from a store that you know and trust is much better than buying from some shady, cheap place just to save $10. I mean, who knows where they get their crap.
yes, it's possible to shutdown an ide hard drive, although I have never tried it... see the hdparm man page:
-Y Force an IDE drive to immediately enter the lowest power consumption sleep mode, causing it to shut down completely. A hard or soft reset is required before the drive can be accessed again (the Linux IDE driver will automatically handle issuing a reset if/when needed). The current power mode status can be checked using the -C flag.
I was there two summers ago, they put up big digital clocks counting down the time until the dam is built. Having spent several days on the Yangtze River, it's a shame all that beatiful scenary will soon be gone.
this is the earliest message I can find, but I know there's been earlier ones...

slackware still has floppy sized directories for the A series and the N series... on ftp.slackware.com, the A series is divided up into 16 floppies and the N series is divided up into 8 floppies. Although in slackware-current the A series is merged into a single directory (same for the N series) but I imagine they'd be split but into floppy sized directories after slackware 7.2 is released.

We have some leftover posters from this year's Southern California Linux Expo.
If you'd like one, they're available at a more than reasonable price, just ask.
Don't forget the Crosspads with IBM's handwriting recognition software.

Ah, the World of Warcraft... I saw that at E3 this year, seems to me like Diablo in 3D with Warcraft characters.

actually slackware is quite easy to install, surely you can figure it out... I mean, I did as a 13 year old.
