Now I fried W2K with SP2...joy

I had this happen to me and a friend, if you pop in the win2k CD and boot to that, just run a quick restore, and you can go back to your last setting before the SP2 install. It worked great for us.

Upgrading to XF86 4.1, how do I get back into KDE?

Ok, so I have had tons of problems with trying to use the 2.4.3 Kernel and XFree86 4.03 with my voodoo3 3000. So I decided to upgrade to XFree86 4.10. I installed that fine by following the documentation. The problem I have now is that I am stuck in the most primitive mode of X. I can run a...

how the fsck do you get out of emacs in linux?!!??!?

Also if you want to switch between files use Ctl-c Ctl-f, and then just type in the file name, I personally recomend using xemacs, its emacs with colors! (and also nicer to use IMO).

What OS should I use?

I would absolutly recomend win2k. It is by far more stable, and just generally nicer to deal with. If I were you the only reason I would be leary of installing 2k would be video drivers, however since you have an nvidia based card that shouldn't be a problem, since right now they are the only...

Voodoo3 + linux + UT, should it be this hard?

Ok I finally figured out that DRI is just plain not loading. Does anyone out there know why dri would not load on startup or how to check to see what is happening to cause it not load. Grrr, well at least I know the problem, now to find the fix.

Voodoo3 + linux + UT, should it be this hard?

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunetly I have been unable to find new drivers except from DRI's website and these you have to compile yourself. Unfortunetly the instructions that come with them are still for xFree 3.x so that isn't too much help. I would love to download the newest drivers for...

Raid Controler: can you hook up 2 regular IDE devices

Yeah, he doesn't want to setup raid though, just hook-up five or six ide devices, I think hes got a CD-RW, DVD, 2 harddrives and a zip drive that he wants to hook-up, so that should work fine for him, and raid is always there if he decides he wants to use it. Thanks again. -Reid

Raid Controler: can you hook up 2 regular IDE devices

Thanks for all of the input. Actually he is going to get the epox 8k7a+, which means that it would be a crippled on-board version, but that is still a pretty good replacement for an other controller card that he would have to buy, thanks. -Reid

Raid Controler: can you hook up 2 regular IDE devices

I have a friend who is looking at getting a new machine and wants to hook up 5 IDE devices, I have read that you can hook up two single IDE devices up to an IDE-RAID controller and they will work just like a regular IDE controller, is this right? Or am I way off? Thanks in advance. -Reid

Can you mix EDO & FPM SIMMs?

Usually if you mix both FPM and EDO SIMMs all that will happen is that EDO will be disabled on the EDO SIMMs and will run as FPM (Which is to say they would run normaly without EDO enabled), they should run fine.
