were you able to isolate where theh sound came from? there are alof if pieces of hardware that could cause that problem, but only a few usualyl make noice

hard drives, cdroms and fans being the big ones

on redhat as root you can service lpd stop/start/restart this will stop/start the serviice this time, if you want to change the default on boot use chkconfig lpd on/off that will ensure that the service is turned off in all runlevels for all eternity, but will not actually stop the running instance,...

you can write some setup scripts, or do a network install - but i have never found it worth my time to do this, and i have over 100 computers I keep track of

should you still want to, netinstall is the way to go ive been told

its more complicated then that. In redhat 8.0 they moved to gcc 2.96 which uses the new coding standard, or more correctly - _enforces_ the alreayd existing C++ coding standrad, so if the code didn't follow the standard (which ALOT of code didn't) then it will not compile on 8.0, but will compile ju...

7.2 gave you timeout's on your hard drive? If that is true check your configuration (physical first) make sure ytou have master/slave setup properly. Also, try a different drive, I had a drive that started giving timeouts - it had to be replaced. Im not sure 7.2 would install and 7.3 wont though...

No problem - I like your signature

check out

www.linmodems.org

for details of how your modem is supported, if it is not supported on there ( no drivers are found) Im afraid your stuck unless you can get a driver from someone else - (but usually anything that does get written ends up there)

I know you didn't want to use a BIOS/CMOS password - but you can do it very easily... many BIOS now ship with a supervisor password and a normal user. Setting the SUpervisor password and setting the boot order to check the hard drive first will prevent anyone without the supervisor password from boo...

you can set up samba to be a PDC and have it authenticate logon to the machine (although win98 can not participate in this 100%) www.tldp.org has a samba howto, you want to set it up as a PDC (Primary Domain Controller) before you try that, make sure you get samba setup and able to have thewindows m...

fawad posted an excellent step-by-step guid on another thread in this installation forum, check that out - you can also get it from my website, its a popular question

http://majorwoo.hopto.org go to links, and towards the bottom is one for mounting fat under linux

You need to make sure you have some things setup in the smb.conf file, I am going to list a few of the more common ones... # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name workgroup = woos_world netbios name = daboss # This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict # connections to m...

you could use the NAT (Network Address Translation) table built into iptables, with this setup you could set one machine as the server (usually also serves as a firewall) and it Masquerades the connections from the other machines. Redhat 7.33 and 8.0 (and some previous I think) ship with defautl set...

Those questions tend to start big fights among people

It's all about preference, personally I use Redhat - some people get al wound up saying redhat holds your hand, blah blah blah...
