Q51: What are the general installation steps for soft cats?
A51, now it is estimated that dozens of RMB will be available for new ones. That JS also claims to be a built-in hard cat, which is much better than the built-in soft cat. I am not sure what the difference between the two types of things is. anyway, they all have no DSP chip, the software-driven CPU is used to undertake DSP work. unless there is a chip-driven driver, it is still difficult to support it in linux. I don't know where the strong js is.
　　
This type of PnP cat is generally easy to install in Ms, and can be installed with the driver provided by the manufacturer. The three pictures I 've shown below are my loaded images under ms. you can see the information about my cat, the name is Ecom Em-56Ham V93 Data Fax Voice, referred to as Ecom-Ham56 modem, is a network product company in Shenzhen production, as if it is called Longwei Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., do not remember. Other driver information in ms. In addition, you can also see the irq and io values, and use com4.
　　
I found that there is basically anything in linux, because there is no DSP chip, and the software drives the CPU to undertake DSP work. Here, we will emphasize that you know the chip of a cat like this (you can open the chassis and take a look at it .) It is the most critical. if your cat's chip does not have the relevant driver, it will be very difficult for you to use it in linux. My cat apparently uses the Intel Ham chip, which later seems to be called Abient. As long as you can find the driver of your soft cat. It is easy to install it in the Mandrake environment. To be honest, it is not difficult to install a cat in Mandrake. Let's talk about some of my previous experiences.
　　
1) When you download your driver from the following websites, you can generally find what you need. if not, you may not be lucky. it may be that your cat's chip is too new. My driver is Intel-v92ham-453-M90.tgz. The specific URL is as follows:
Code:
　　
Http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/Intel/
Or
Http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/
Or
Http://www.idir.net /~ Gromitkc/dips/roster.html
　　
　　
　　
2) Code:
　　
Tar-zxvf Intel-v92ham-453-M90.tgz
　　
Get this Intel-v92ham-453-M90 directory.
　　
3)
A. If you want to install it directly and do not want to compile it, that's fine. Because it has been compiled in general mode, it is suitable for manake90.
Code:
# Cd Intel-v92ham-453-M90
# Make install
　　
　　
However, if you install it like this, there may be some Prompts. I don't remember the specific prompts, which means you have no right to delete the rm/dev/ham device. But it doesn't matter. you can do this.
< <注> > Code:
# Lsmod
Module Size Used by Tainted: PF
Ham 7388 0 (unused)
Hamcore 511456 0 [ham]
.......
　　
　　
It indicates that my cat has been loaded successfully.
Then try again:
Code:
　　
# Ls/dev/ham-l
Crw-rw-r -- 1 root 240, 1 2003-02-26 04:32/dev/ham
# Ls/dev/modem-l
Lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 8 2003-02-26 04:32/dev/modem->/dev/ham
#
　　
　　
Haha, no. my cat has succeeded. Mandrake Linux is really strong.
　　
B. If you want to compile it into, you should first choose to install your kernel source code. if not, install it on your own. In the first disc, the name is the rpm package called kernel-2.4.19.16mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm.
　　
Code:
# Rpm-ivh kernel-2.4.19.16mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm
　　
　　
Then cd to Intel-v92ham-453-M90, start to compile, is also a huge simple:
Code:
　　
# Make clean
# Make ham
# Make install
　　
　　
If you still want to check, follow the steps in step A < <注> > That step.
　　
3) configure your dial-up software. you can use the kppp tool in the Mandakre. if you haven't installed it yet, install it directly, and there will be it in the CD. If you have not found it, you can find it on rpmfind.net.
　　
Run your kppp. The most important thing here is to set up your device. you can choose not to change the other device. it should be/dev/modem, you should be familiar with the rest of/dev/ttyX, just like the ugly "My connections" in MS.
　　
Of course, if you do not want to use kppp, there are other code pulling software, such as wvdial, which is a good tool. it is small and fast. you can download its rpm package, you can also download the source code for self-compilation, and the readme file in the driver, the author gives the most concise shell script.
　　
4) the last step is the connection. if you have successfully obtained the number, for example, you can ping the IP address but cannot open the webpage, it may be your DNS problem. You need to add your local DNS in/etc/resolv. conf. for example, mine:
Code:
　　
# More/etc/resolv. conf
Nameserver 202.96.134.133
Nameserver 202.96.128.20.
#
　　
　　
If everything goes well, you can run your soft cat in the powerful Mandrake Linux.
　　
If your cat chip is different, you only need to download the relevant driver, and then the steps are the same.
Good lucky!
Happy Mandrake Linux !!
　　
　　
　　
Q52: how to implement partition transfer?
A52. It also applies to Mandrake linux. You can understand the specific situation on your own. The most important thing is that the file attributes cannot be changed, and you must modify the relevant content in/etc/fstab. However, you should pay attention to the consequences before doing this. If you are not sure about it, do it less. Well, because my machine has Mandrake in it, if it breaks down, I can mount it to fix it.
Code:
　　
# Mkdir/usr. new
# Mount/dev/hda11/usr. new
# Cp -- perserve = all/usr/*/usr. new
(Or: (cd/usr & tar cpf-.) | (cd/usr. new & tar xpf -)
# May tar be better than cp?
# Umount/usr. new
# Rmdir/usr. new
# Vi/etc/fstab
For example my:/dev/hda11/usr reiserfs defaults 0 0
(Note: This step should be before the mv. Otherwise, you may not be able to find the vi command after the mv. However, it is better to back up your fstab .)
# Mv/usr. bak
# Mkdir/usr
　　
# Mount/usr
　　 <测试下你的新分区>
　　
# Rm-rf/usr. bak.
　　
　　
　　
　　
Q53: I compiled an X. how can I add it to kdm? [
　　
A53: haha, it is very convenient to use the KDM in The Mandrake Linux.
1) not a decent method:
Code:
"Gear" --> configuration "-->" KDE "-->" system "-->" session "in" logon manager "--> enter" fvwm "under" new type "and click "Add new type ".
　　
　　
Note the order of your fvwm. If, for example, my KDE, GNOME, Windowmaker, blackbox, XFCE, fvwm, failsafe, and default, fvwm is the sixth, and root is in/etc/X11/wmsession. d. create a file like "06fvwm" with the following content:
Code:
　　
NAME = fvwm
ICON = xwmnet. xpm
EXEC =/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm
DESC = "Cool Fvwm DeskTop Environment"
SCRIPT:
Exec/usr/X11R6 // bin/fvwm
　　
　　
　　
2) relatively decent method:
Code:
　　
# Find/usr/-name "kdmrc"
/Usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
　　
　　
　　
Then use vim to check the content of kdmrc and find the definition of the key field SessionType. for example, my powerful Mandrake Linux 9.0 is like this:
　　
Code:
　　
SessionTypes = KDE, GNOME, WindowMaker, Enlightenment, BlackBox, XFce, IceWM, fvwm, failsa
Fe, default,
　　
　　
　　
Add your X. for example, my fvwm is obviously in the eighth position.
　　
Use root to create a file such as "08fvwm" under/etc/X11/wmsession. d. The content is roughly as follows:
Code:
　　
NAME = fvwm
ICON = xwmnet. xpm
EXEC =/usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm
DESC = "Cool Fvwm DeskTop Environment"
SCRIPT:
Exec/usr/X11R6 // bin/fvwm
　　
　　
　　
In this way, you can use kdm to do a good job of the various types of X you want. Haha, it turns out that xdm, tpd, and kdm are the same thing. How to add other things? try it on your own. this is the most simple method. However, to start your X, you have to configure its configuration file.
Q54: how to use the powerful download tool curl for multipart download
A54: Mandrake Linux 9.1 is coming to us. I can't wait. Let's take a look at the iso file of rc2, but since I have limited access to the Internet, I just want to download the ISO file. However, the Flash get nt download in linux is not fast enough.
　　
When downloading large files such as iso from a website, even if the peer can provide a download rate of 1 Mbit/s, the waiting process is also worrying, linux does not seem to have any mature multi-thread download tools. Even some well-known software in Windows has no way to use a site with "only one connection per IP address. The new FlashGet 1.3 supports different proxies for each download thread. In fact, you can split multiple parts from large files under that stingy site at the same time.
　　
However, this does not take into account the redundant backup feature of ftp sites today: the same iso may have images on multiple sites. can we take advantage of this feature?
　　
We adopt super-strong
