I suggest that you try the "digital audio extraction" method of playing
a disc--just to see if that works. I know you can do it in XMMS. You
have to set up the CD playback module in the preferences.

Yes, that did it, it works now. I had tried the map command already,
but I think I had a different drive order. Well..

Thank you for the quick and helpful response!

It wants a valid user and password, just like it told you. "USER" is not a
user on your system, so the entire transaction failed.

Until you understand why there are user permissions, do not try to
circumvent them.

Sorry, I didn't look at your kernel version.

A wild guess (after looking at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt):
What if you add the following to your /etc/modprobe.conf:

alias char-major-180-48 ohci-hcd

Hardware Modem: Your *personal* choice. The one you are using,

I've always used external modems (since the 300-baud days)
and probably always will. I know this is bucking the current
these days, since internal modems have two things that make
them attractive to users to the exclusion of all else: they're
convenient (i.e. in the box) and they're cheap. Unfortunately,
"cheap" now usually means one of those controllerless modems
("Winmodems") which leaves out half of its electronics by getting
your CPU to waste cycles doing the modem's work for it. It also
makes such modems more difficult to use on a non-Windows system
because you need special drivers for them (although Microsoft,
of course, considers this an advantage).

The other downside to an internal modem is that it lacks readily
accessible lights and power control. In my work I use modems
for many things other than dialing into an ISP. Setting up such
installations can be pretty tricky, and those indicator lights
are very useful in diagnosing problems. The modem's power switch
provides a quick and easy last resort when you want to drop a
connection without crawling around behind the box; or it lets
you easily reset the modem without rebooting the entire machine.

Currently I have a U.S. Robotics 56K faxmodem. It works pretty
well, although it has been temperamental at times. If I were to
buy another modem I'd probably try another brand, but the USR was
readily available and generally works well enough.

My modem is on a four-port switch; I share it among the Amiga with
which I'm posting this message, two laptops running Linux, and a
Windows 98 box. One of the Linux laptops has an internal Winmodem,
but I found it much easier to just string a cable from its serial
port to my modem switch (it doesn't leave the office all that often).

As for the Win98 box, my policy is to never give Windows unsupervised
access to the Internet. I admit that my situation is different from
many people's, in that what 'Net access I need can be handled by
other machines running other OSes. I cannot justify the ongoing
investment in time and money that's needed to install and maintain
firewalls and anti-virus software for an OS that's so ridden with
security holes, yet I need a modem on this machine for non-Internet
applications which I develop. Here, too, an external modem proves
its worth. There's no way that any spyware or malware (and, being
the paranoid sort, I consider this to include Windows itself) can
get out and start doing damage if the modem is either physically
disconnected or switched off.

How to restore Red Hat 7.2 to its original healthy condition

Paul Lutus <zzz> wrote: 

Hmm .. I agree. Couldn't have summed it up better. There is something
wrong with such people. Putting the finger on a neurotic condition
really does get to the nub of it, I think. These people have some sort
of deep-seated fear that they can't do things unless they are root, and
so they need to be root to make themselves feel capable. Maybe it's
fear of loss of control ...
 

Well, he could. But I don't think he will.

Specifying ethernet device assignments

NOTES
nameif should be run before the interface is up, otherwise it'll fail.

I.E., IIUC nameif must be executed before the ethernet modules are even
loaded.

Personally, when Linux displayed its inability to consistently probe the
PCI bus on a multi-homed host I just installed Solaris x86 or OpenBSD. I
won't put up with that kind of juvenile behavior in my OS.
