I've set up several Debian systems and loaded the cvs package on them. I've
had no problem using:
$ cvs -d :ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvsrep checkout myproject
Now I have to do some work on a RH8 box to solve a particular problem. I
found that I had to do this:
$ CVS_RSH=ssh; export CVS_RS
I don't want to get into any long debate, but I am looking for a light

I ran grub-install on my root partition instead of my boot partition and now I
cannot boot my machine. I can get to the stage where the kernel tries to mount
the root filesystem but it cannot mount at as it is not the correct type
(reiserfs).
If I run file -s /dev/hda5 it returns x86 boot sector.

To get it to work, I did the worst hack in the world and just copied the

Linux supports both OHCI and PCILynx cards, which I think are the only two
options. However, I don't think the PCILynx driver has been maintained for a

Yes, but I would like to see it deprecated for maintainer scripts and
forbidden for init.d scripts (the latter should be too simple to need
bashisms).

Not this again. *sigh* The point is that it is far too simple in Perl to
write s'ghetti code.
As the subject implies - I just got introduced to the world of
high-speed internet. It's amazing what a T-1 can do.
Being at least somewhat concerned about security, I felt we needed to
implement a firewall between our pristine LAN and the horrible nasty
germ-ridden world. Being short of funds -

Me too. Maybe I should downgrade to 2.4.18.
See, I'm runing stable. I don't remember the details (USB problem?),
but I upgr
I seem to recall setting the dma. I think there may have
been some problem with that in relation to the promise controller.
I'll revisit that. By the way, the hardware works great if I put in a
usb-2.0 mass-storage external case. I wonder why not using dma would
slow the clock down, etc...

hi,
I need to set the eth0 interface to 100MB/Full Duplex. I have added
append="ether=0,0,0x30,eth0" to lilo.conf and re-run lilo. On reboot,

Is anyone familiar with this driver? Are my options incorrect?
Many thanks.
