Hello could you please help?

Dear Sir, I saw you posting in the message board, and would like to ask for your help. I am using redhat 7.l and ASUS P4S333 motherboard, which has a LAN card on board. I just can't successfully "insmod". Everytime when I "insmod sis900", it just said "No such device" I think for RedHat 7.1, the kernel is new enough not to compile the sis driver into itself, right? Therefore, what can I do now? Could you give me some hints? Thanks! George __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2002 20:15:58 From: vinayak hegde <vinayak_hegde(a)hotmail.com> Let me introduce myself first. I am Vinayak V Hegde. I am currently studying in Final year computer engineering in parshvanath CoE,Thane. I got your email id from linuxusers mailing list @ ilug-bombay. I have just joined the list. It seems i have missed a lot from not being there on the list. I would be very grate ful if you could help me with the following issues. We have setup a linux diskless lab in our college consisting of 150 diskless terminals (with remote booting ) and 2 servers.( we did in around 2 months including the cabling and the physical connections. It took lots of trial and error to set it up). We are facing some problems getting a suitable 8086 emulator for linux (I tried pcemu but could not <make> it without errors). Also there are problems in procuring a cobol compiler. (we are using a tinycobol compiler currently but it is not good enough as it does not support all the features of the lang). Could you help us in this regard?

Why is Unix still used?
by Nikhil Joshi 24 Mar '02

24 Mar '02

What is the purpose of using Unix in todays scenario when we have Linux? AFAIK UNIX is great in SMP (100s of processors if I'm not wrong) but Linux lags behind by a long way (8-10 processors AFAIK). Is this the only reason or there r many more? _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
