Yes that's correct but the installer is in Linux, once booted through setup disk you can go to virtual terminal and search for the driver. -KrD

Re: [Ilug-cal-discuss] Fedora Core & Intel 855GM

> Check the X & kernel version. Does FC 5 have X.org v 7.x? My kernel is 2.6.17. It is the official Fedora Core 5 RPM kernel. I have X.org 7.0. Anyway here is what I did to check it: [rishi@Sunflower X11]$ Xorg -version X Window System Version 7.0.0 Release Date: 21 December 2005 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.0 Build Operating System:Linux 2.6.9-34.ELsmp i686Red Hat, Inc. Current Operating System: Linux Sunflower 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 #1 Tue Jul 11 22:55:46 EDT 2006 i686 Build Date: 30 June 2006 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version. Module Loader present [rishi@Sunflower X11]$ > Also, the > kernel should use the i915 driver for this card, as I do on my old > Toshiba laptop with 855GM and I get very decent 3D support. I think I am using the i810 driver. My guess was it should be i915 as you said, since the system detects my mother-board as Intel 852 and not 855GM. As a result I had earlier tried fiddling with the 2.6.16 vanilla kernel, where I compiled i915 drivers and removed the i810 one. I do not remember the exact details of the various configurations I tried, but my X simply refused to start. Do you have any specific suggestions, or should I just try again and get back with the exact things I did. By the way are you using Ubuntu or Fedora?

RHEL 3 on IBM x346
by Nadeem M. Khan 20 Aug '06

20 Aug '06

Hi. I am trying to install RHEL AS 3 on IBM xSeries 346, but it fails to detect my hard disks. It fails to get a driver for Adaptec SCSI controller. Cribs about aic7xxx. Just for kicks I tried installing RHEL ES 4 and it installs without issues. But the client requirement is RHEL AS 3. Since x346 is a common server, I thought someone might be able to shed some light on this. Where do I get the driver? Googled like hell, but no go. I am supposed to be looking for a .img file that fits onto a floppy and then issue the linux dd command, right? Regards, NMK.

fetchmail + gmail: How to prevent downloading archived mail
by Aparna Appaiah 19 Aug '06

19 Aug '06

Dear List, I use my GMail address to receive all my mails. I use POP to receive the mails and a copy of every mail is archived after it is downloaded from the server. I use fetchmail to download the messages and Mutt is my mailing agent. Sometimes, when I receive a large number of messages, I check my mail directly on mail.google.com , that is I read the mails and archive them. Now, the next time I use fetchmail to download my mails, the mails which I'd read and archived are also downloaded. Is there any way to prevent this? Regards, Aparna. -- Aparna Appaiah

I understand this. I was concerned because I had heard from the very few list members, whom I have the good fortune of knowing in person, that the general opinion about me had turned negative due to my 'ill-behaviour' on the list. Since I did not understand what my mistakes were, and apprehensive of the fact that the list administrators might be contemplating action against me, I thought I would check with you. > I will suggest that you continue to be on the list, but at the same time > exercise due control in replying to various mails.

Rest assured. I do. Yours truly, Debarshi -- Don't be humble ... you're not that great. -- Golda Meir
