Good Morning,
I have a Gateway Solo 2550 with a bad cdrom.
Win 98 took a turn for the worse.
I took the HD and put it in another machine and loaded Mepis on it.
I am having trouble getting the X-Server to load.
Any thoughts???
Tom

What I usually do is take advantage of cpio's ability to output in tar
format [--format=tar].  I then use find (and grep if needed) to send
my list of files through standard-in to cpio.

That works better for me, anyways...

I am having trouble using ifconfig to set my network adapter to 100/Full
Duplex.

I am using Fedora 3 if that makes a difference.

Anyone have the proper syntax?

Are you using ethtool or mii-tool to make the settings?

I think the standard is now ethtool. On Debian, I just add a 'up mii-diag -F
100baseTx-FD eth0' line after the gateway. Otherwise find the command and
create a startup script.

Not all chips/drivers are mii compliant.  Even newer ones.
You should be able to get info on yours from scyld.com.

I have the attached cisco switch set to 100/Full. This brought throughput
to a drizzle. I may need to replace the cable or card.

What kind of NIC is it?  I've seen certain 3c905B's exhibit this
behavior.  My solution was to replace it with either a 3c905C or an
Intel.

Certain versions of Intel's e100/1000 and the first Broadcom gig if's
gave me great hassles while connecting to supposedly auto-negotiating
3com switches and Extreme Alpines.  Gotcha's from CompaQ/HP.  That's how
I got into this mii-diag thing-- hacking ZENworks imaging CDs and PXE.
These if's were mii compatible, thankfully.
