For my programming class we are about to start on clustering the boxes and righting a program for parrallel processing. But...

Happy Thanksgiving for every one in the Grand ole USA.

Thanks that worked perfectly. Now how bout setting up /windows so all users can access it? That is my next goal.

Ok when i try top mount a cdrom or floppy from a normal i get the following error. shuiend@shuiend:~$ mount /mnt/cdrom/ mount: only root can mount /dev/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom I have chmod 777 /mnt/cdrom, /dev/cdrom, /dev/sr0. All those permisiions seem to be correct. But it still wont let me mont it. I...

so how do i go about gettin a couple of autographs before he becomes famous? I am thinkin voidmain u might be able to make some quick cash on ebay if he goes big. I can also claim i talk to a guy online who knows that guy.

Slackware 9.1 is an excelent choice of a distro to switch to. I myself have gone from redhat to slackware and i love it. Slackware does not use GRUB. It uses LILO. you could install GRUB ur self if you wanted to but i see no reaon why when LILO works just fine for booting. I myself do soem programmi...

Ok Calum sorry i havent responded sooner but i have been busy. I have a D-Link 520. I got it about a year in a half ago. You need to make sure you get the non plus and that it is a prism2 chip set. You motherboard also has to be pci 2.2 complient for this card or so it says. I really cant comment on...

yah i just got X11 wokrin. Stupid me spelling stuff wrong. I plan on trying debian some time in the future but right now i am wokrin on settin up slackware as my gaming rig. So far it is going good. Just got to get a couple more games installed and i should be all set with it.

ok i got it working. I read alot about it on linuxquestions.org but nothing there helped so i was just messin around seeing what i could do that would try to make it work and i actually got it workin so that is great. Now just to fix x with new nvidia drivers. could any one tell me the actual memory...

I am positive that it is a 520. I have used it in Red Hat and Suse with no problems with these drivers. Red Hat i just installed the RPMS and bam it worked. In Suse it got configured in yast for using the drivers in work. Its just i dont care for either of those 2 very much. I find slackware to be a...

No DHCP is not working. It will not recieve and ip address from the router with the wireless card. I beileve that it is the orinco driver trying to load that is screwing up.

Well after i found out i cannto run wire to my room i decided i am now hell bent on getting wireless working in slackware. I a stuck in windows 2k untell i do so i need to get my ass workin on it. I am using a DLink DWL-520 wireless card. I am presently using the wireless drivers from linux-wlan.com...

ok now i have finished my design document i am ready to start coding the project. I would like to know how i search all files on the system for outb() so that i could see that code to make that work. Also i am having trouble finding any tutorials or things on I/O drivers.

No i am not using M$. I will be making it on a SlackWare 9 box. She has given me other code for an I/O driver and it has like an open function and a read + write function and such. I will post more later when i get a chance b/c right now i am cooking some dinner.
