I had not made any change to my hardware. It just worked. As regards, PCQuest Linux 8.0 ... never used it. Btw, installation of Redhat 8.0 also failed on my System. (Check the archives ... for more details ... and the response that I got in return ... thx all for your reply). I have knoppix 3.2 ... will be trying that possibly next weekend, when I have sometime on hand. Try Gentoo or Morphix ... both support NVidia (this again was a response to my mail, I crossed checked this on the net). -Rupessh

by Trevor Warren 29 Apr '03

29 Apr '03

Hello luggers, good-evening. We are sincerely looking forward towards conducting a workshop at iiit-b hubli for the benefit of 50 students who have taken up gnu-linux projects and need URGENT hand-holding. In addition we have about 7 engineering colleges in and around hubli who would be interested in participating in the same. I am quite taken up with my responsibilities. I would be glad is someone could come forward and help co-ordinate the event. We have to keep in mind that roping in luggers from goa-belgaum-bombay-kolhapur is a priority. Hoping for a positive response from you all.

>I recently installed linux 8.0 >But facing some problems: >1. Unable to detect modem To check whether your modem is detected try wvdialconf (maybe that probably might help) >2. Unable to access data of windows from linux and vice-versa How did you try to access the windows partition.You should know in which partition windows is installed and then try to mount that partition(e.g suppose i have hda1 as my primary windows partition(C: drive) give the command mount /dev/hda1 mountpoint(any dir), and if it still complains try to give the type of the partition(VFAT,NTFS etc) with the mount command.) You should have the module support/builtin for the required partition type in the kernel before doing this.try doing cat /proc/filesystems to see the supported filesystems. >3. Where to do programming unable to find editor etc. i didnt get this question. >4. where are files of linux source code stored as it as open >source > software the source code should be present in /usr/src/linux-version if you installed the sources >5. Linux automatically boots after 7 seconds. Can this setting >be changed OK.once you boot into linux,as root open the file /etc/lilo.conf and edit the timeout=tsecs value. This sets a timeout (in tenths of a second) for keyboard input.If no key is pressed for the specified time, the first image is automatically booted. you can also change the default image to load by this parameter default=name of the label u have given(e.g linux/dos/windows etc) rohit Life is a sexually transmitted disease.

hi deepali, i can help you as much i can on mails, but iam not a guru on the topic though.You will find the links iam sending with this mail REALLY helpful.If u face any other problems then let me know. very good for writing a basic filesystem http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/AY2002/cs3210_fall/p5/p5.html another site to understand the basic VFS layer http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/AY2002/cs3210_fall/p5/p5.html this is the list of filesystems under development http://www.falconweb.com/~mattg/linuxfs/ You have to do some digging, but to do look at the code of ramfs/romfs(/usr/src/linux/fs/ramfs or romfs) to get the knowledge of how to write a simple linux filesystem module. I guess if u do some reading of the kernel sources and with these links you will be up with a simple filesystem module.If you face any problems you can contact me in this group or mail me. rohit Life is a sexually transmitted disease.
