I just installed NDIS wrapper. Now what? Keep in mind I almost never use
the CLI, so my experience in commands is seriously lacking.

How to clear the command history in Red Hat Linux 8

But that apparently only sets a pointer to the last when invoked. .bash_history
is still there unchanged. Not so good if the purpose is security.

Two things to try:

Use tzconfig to check that your timezone is correct and change it if
necessary. You may also want to use tzselect to view the list of
possible timezones.

Edit /etc/default/rcS to include either UTC=yes or UTC=no. UTC=no is
useful if you're dual-booting with MS Windows.

Yes, that makes sense, and, in fact, that's what I tried. I will try
another suggestion tonight (wlanconfig to recreate the wireless card).

Usually you get better performance just just by having a larger hard drive.
The larger the hard drive, the greater the number of platters equating
to higher performance, or the greater the data density equating to higher
performance.

I had 10Krpm scsi-3 drives back in the late 90's, 1GB and 3.3GB, and neither did
more than 5MB/s. :

The WD raptor is an exception. I dunno how they do it, but it gets the kind
of performance you'd expect from a drive twenty times the size.

Cannot get networking to work

Hmm. You could duplicate your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a backup location, then
bring it down to run level 2 or 3 to disable the X login, then run
"mouseconfig" or "system-config-mouse", then try again.

I've had real problems with PS/2 mice and KVM's getting wildly confused, and
switched to USB just to avoid the issues.

quality of ATI 3D video drivers

Posted: 28 Mar 2006 03:17 PM PST

In comp.os.linux.hardware Matt <com> wrote: 

Ditto. The ATI drivers have worked fine for me with Slackware
10.1. I installed them over the last 3-4 months though, and it
appears by all accounts ATI has improved their linux drivers
during this time period.

Like Nvidia though, they're still binary and closed source -- as
cool as playing glquake etc. is, there's a limit to how much
positive hype you can give these companies.

Looking for a linux compatible "disk caddy" for a desktop computer

I would think that if your USB is slow, the fault may lie in the USB (is
it still 1.1 instead of 2.0?) which can be solved with a new enclosure
or a USB2.0 PCMCIA card for the laptop and/or PCI USB expansion card.

Just a thought, I wound up adding swap on USB 2.0 and it was acceptable,
and faster than slow internal drive.

Need tutorial for udev

Posted: 28 Mar 2006 08:31 AM PST

What is the interraction between udev and root device? Debian doesn't
still use partition names do they? I think you might at least do a quick
check to see if you simply have it set up wrong, it should use
filesystem labels or UUID just so you don't have problems of this type.

You can also check that the ide driver always gets loaded first, that
will make the order constant. You might be able to just change the order
on modprobe.conf, but might have to rebuild the initrd or intramfs or
whatever debian uses these days.

Sorry I can't be precise, I have used debian or slackware in a while...

SELinux screwup

As far as backups It is a brand new custom installation on a cluster
and we didnt make an image before I goofed up. What I was really hoping
to do was somehow return SELinux to its original installed state.
