UDMA 3/4/5 Enabling
by balajeec＠mastek.com 27 Aug '03

27 Aug '03

Hi all, Sorry for posting a hardware related issue. Any help would be higly appreciated I have RH 9 installed on my machine.. Currently my PC has PIO 4 and Ultra DMA 2 enabled I want to enable Ultra DMA 3 or 4 or 5 When i try to update my BIOS to change the Ultra DMA Setting, it says "Ultra DMA 3/4 will only work when there is a 80 pin shielded cable" 1) I just wanted to know do we get 80 pin shielded cable in Mumbai (Lamington road)?? 2) How can I identify a "80 pin shielded cable" ? i.e. will it be round or flat like any FRC??? 3) If at all I get a 80 pin Shielded cable what length should i buy? I think FRC's come in 18", 24" sizes. thanks for your help... bala ----------------------------------- Balajee Chandrasekaran MASTEK "Making a valuable difference" Mastek in NASSCOM's 'India Top 20' Software Service Exporters List.

What do you do with this
by Satya 26 Aug '03

26 Aug '03

What would you do with this? (originally at http://www.df-21.net/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002527.html ) MW: Symantec, as well as several other anti-virus manufacturers, also have free online full spectrum virus scanners, that can find any virii and not just an individual virus. What is more important, however, is to always check out your email on the server instead of on your local computer - and delete any suspicious emails before you even download them! Personally, I use SimpleCheck for that, though I'm sure there are other programs that can do the same thing. By doing so, you A) lower your bandwith usage (and thus with some ISPs your Internet cost), B) make sure you can never get infected by email, and C) will never have to read a single spam message again. Me: [B]What is more important, however, is to always check out your email on the server instead of on your local computer - and Not necessarily. Not if you have a sane email client. Since I use Linux, I'm pretty much immune to these worms. MW: Well, most people aren't masochist, so they don't use Linux. For people using real OSes, deleting unwanted email on the server is still the best option. And even if you are using a fake OS like Linux, manually deleting spam is still a more efficient method than trusting the email client to do so automatically. Me: Please define real OS. MW: An OS natively based around the Win32 or Win64 API. Me: That's not a real definition. MW: Of course it is. It might just be a definition you don't like. But I should really change the term "OS" to "working OS" in the definition. Me: Linux works for me. Maybe you're just incompetent. MW: Haha. I'm competent enough to realize that the only practical OS to run is Win32. But since you are using Linux, you've already proven that you are indeed incompetent yourself. Anyway, since only masochists and dumb people use Linux, the fact that I don't is proof enough that I'm competent. Thus, your arguments have no bearing in the real world. Me: No, *your* arguments have no bearing in the real world. I suppose in your fantasy world, Windows is secure, all the worms attack Linux, no one uses Linux, everyone's happy with Windows, it never crashes.... -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> Hi!

[ILUG-BOM] [NON-GNU][NON-LINUX][NON-ADV][OT]Fw: Microsoft's In-House Sociologist

Sorry to all the hippocrates on the list if i have forgotten any imp subject tag ----- Original Message ----- From: Pocket PC Thoughts To: 2115(a)rss.blogstreet.com Sent: Friday, August 22, 2003 6:28 AM Subject: Microsoft's In-House Sociologist Pocket PC Thoughts: Microsoft's In-House Sociologist "Ever get the feeling your Usenet newsgroup list is being watched? By Microsoft? If so, consider yourself right. Thanks to the expertise of sociologist Marc Smith, Microsoft is keeping a close eye on newsgroups and other public e-mail lists, which it has identified as the Internet's undervalued "knowledge management application." In Microsoft's research and development labs, Smith has spent the past several years slicing and dicing data about messages and message authors in an ambitious effort to help people make sense of the newsgroup manifold--the hordes of know-it-alls, flame warriors, spammers and neophytes who, by Smith's estimate, last year numbered more than 100 million in the Usenet network of e-mail threads, or newsgroups. Smith's idea is that you can tell a lot about the quality of data by tracking its newsgroup contributors' social habits--a notion that holds promise for sorting through millions of messages, and peril for a online world increasingly skittish about invasions of privacy. Following the launch of Microsoft's NetScan application for analyzing newsgroups and the people who post to them, Smith spoke to CNET News.com about NetScan, about Microsoft's interest in e-mail lists and about an application under development that would link objects in the real world to an array of online information."

Hi Rahul, According to my knowledge you have to installed linux on master hdd only bcoz linux recognised only master hdd. If u r installing linuz on 2nd hdd then make it as master & make 1st hdd as slave if the 1st hdd is not having linux installed. RIC- All Luggers if I am wrong kindly update me. rgds girish hello luggers, i have a doubt regarding installation of linux on a second hdd which will be a slave hdd. do i have to place the boot partition on the master hdd? and what about the swap partition? are there any other different steps during installation? i guess i hve to select hdb as the mount point for the root(/) partition. thanks rahul ___________________________________________________ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

by Ashwin S. Athram 25 Aug '03

25 Aug '03

Hello, I am new user of the Sendmail on RH 8.0. I am trying to configure the Sendmail on my Linux Laptop to send mails over LAN using SMTP and use the LAN server to route mails and receive mails over the internet. I have read the instructions in the Linux System Administrator's guide and did some changes in the sendmail.mc file and then using the m4 macro processor created a new sendmail.cf file. After this I tried to send mail to myself, that is to root, I checked response by looking at the -v options response. It always says thta connecting to the LAN server (mladelhi.mine) root... Connecting to mladelhi.mine.nu. via relay... root... Deferred: Connection refused by mladelhi.mine.nu. I am not getting the normal message of message delivered. What should be the change in configuration for atleast make it work for local delivery atleast? Please help me in this regards, -- ASHWIN S.
