by Earl Brannigan 01 May '01

01 May '01

Hi All www.linuxexpo.co.uk for the free registration. I'll be going on the wednesday (4th) because I prefer to get the freebies. It would be great to meet up with any other ALUG memebers there, I'll probably be alone...... :o( Cheers Earl Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

If it's like Debian's modules.conf (ie, it's the antique pre-renaming file), then I believe it can also load modules on boot. Of course, if you want the module there all the time, why bother compiling it as a module? -- MJR

LinkSYS ethernet card under Linux
by Ashley T. Howes 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

I'm trying to get a LinkSYS PCI ethernet card (EtherFast 10/100 Lan Card) working in Linux. According to the instructions it use the tulip driver. I have assigned the tulip driver to the ethernet card, but when the tulip kernel module tries to startup it fails with "Device or resource busy". The machine with this card in is running Mandrake 7.0. Any hints, suggestions to get this ethernet card working? Ashley -- Dr Ashley T.

We used to have a meeting on the third Sunday of every month alternating between Syleham and UEA but all things ALUG tend to slip into the background when people are busy. I'm quite happy to host a meeting @ Syleham every other month again and maybe we can fill the gaps in with meets @ UEA/wherever. Comments? See you all tomorrow. Cheers, BJ

If replies are cc'd to the author, that will usually arrive before the copy from the list does.

LinuxDay finale

I'm just panicking on two things really: a decent disclaimer and people. If anyone has thoughts on the former, please email me overnight so I can type it up, else I'll crib from wherever ;-) Oh, and I've a slight problem with debian CDs, so although I have images and should have more blanks tomorrow, if people are prepared to burn on the day, it would be a great help. -- MJR

When is next meeting and where is the next meeting
by permanent＠altavista.net 28 Apr '01

28 Apr '01

The Title says it all I think, "When is next meeting and where is the next meeting" anyway I have yet to go to one of your meetings, now I am out of manchester I thought I should join my local linux users group. I have been using Linux since early 1998 but with no previous UNIX experiance still feel a little bit of a begginer, I am looking to get some C++/C work in UNIX as I have had my fill os Microsoft windows programming (Delphi was fine just the OS was a biit limited). I am currently writing my own Delphi Like classes in C++ for a project to get me familier with the language. Chears Owen S.

PPC Linux stuff for use on a Tivo
by Chris Glover 26 Apr '01

26 Apr '01

Hi, Does anybody know of a small Linux distro that will run on PPC processors? I only need small sections from it like gcc and perl. Reason being, I have a Tivo and I want to add some more functions to it, eg get it to generate a web page that tells me what it's recorded. OK, I know it's sad, when I could just use the menus, but it runs Linux...therefore it's hackable :-) Thanks Chris *************************************************************************** E Mail Chris(a)glovercc.clara.co.uk WWW http://www.glovercc.clara.co.uk ICQ 18054759 Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject. -Anon

Re.Poster: sorry a bit patchy, I'm not much good at that kind of stuff. Plus I'm in a hurry after being bored for ages - I sit here helplessly month after month having various "upgrades" done to my computer whether I want them or not....from win95 to Win98 to WinME, then Office 97 up to Office2000 which has just been installed and so far i am unable to administer my own database and it all seems to be operating at the speed of a slug. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. The installation has a GUI like a 5yr old's rendition of cubism. Needless to say we have a winNT server, which needless to say crashes on a regular basis. The word "linux" brings a sneer to the lips of the administrators, however, and I have to conduct my experiments in a furtive corner of my office. Rant over, back to work (if I can get anything to, that is...) Jen. PS.Glad u like cd, David. Turn up the bass.
