  1. You have to manually prioritize the packet-type though, right? It's not a case of it being in some tcp/ip standard that has been included in a premium-brand routers' tcp/ip stack that can be utilized by swiching an extra bit in your ip-header? Won't that rely on the network-priority of the VLAN that has been set up? VLAN uses (I thought three) bits for setting priority. You wouldn't by chance know if it would be possible to 'melt' that into, say, ICMP packets / mask a VLAN packet like ICMP for a router, perhaps still keeping the rest of it's functionality intact?
  2. Is a network standard that defines certain network packets having some primacy or state of urgency over another packet, what in turn would possibly have a router handle that one 'more important' packet first? Fictitious Problem: Let's say that I would have a mission-critical packet containing data that engages an emergency override/stop function on a piece of machinery. The goal would be to have emergency-stop buttons connected to one or more machines over a real busy ethernet cable (that is used for a broad number of other applications) without sacrificing any or all response time. Every second does after all count! Could I in such a situation preferably use an ICMP packet because it is more 'important' than a standard data-packet, or is there no such thing in router-land?
  3. Did your maxtor contain a swap partition when you where booting? Maybe you forgot to make one because -you know who- also just dumps theirs in the C:\ (oops, was that too obvious?). Just wondering.
  4. [Deleted explanation] Well, there's a better explanation then that I could of done ;) Sean
  5. Well... in windows you would use the obvious scandisk app... Mandrake checks the filesystem every x-number of boots, so I don't think that that should worry you that much... Although! Might you want to check you linux file-systems manually you could use the 'fsck' application that can be found in the console --> Type 'man fsck' in the console for more info. I hope to have informed you enough with this all... Sean
  6. Hi, When I boot MDK 10.0, my 'lisa' seems to almost constantly take 80% or more of CPU resources... when I want to even ping a local machine on my network, this is what happens: [root@h4x0r init.d]# ping 10.0.0.150 connect: No buffer space available When I kill the 'off the scale' "lisa" PID, my 'buffer' seems to work once more... Weir. Does any-one have a cure for this cold? Sean
  7. Help! I upgraded linux MDK my laptop from 9.1 to 10.0... I had a real good font for in Konsole (under KDE) and after the update it seems to be...lost? Anyway... I am looking for a font that solves the problem of me having my MC drawn with 'blocks' instead of the usual lines... :S And it has to be small yet readable under 1024 x 768. Does any-one have any tips??? Sean
  8. UPDATE: Hi guys... I found some info on the kernel-secure versions of the MDK kernel... Name : kernel-secure-2.6.6.0.rc3.1mdk Version : 1 Vendor : MandrakeSoft Release : 1mdk Date : 2004-05-07 14:06:10 Group : System/Kernel and hardware Source RPM : kernel-2.6.6.0.rc3.1mdk-1-1mdk.src.rpm Size : 19512141 Packager : Thomas Backlund < tmb_mandrake_org> Summary : The Linux Kernel compiled for SECURE machines. Description : This package includes a SECURE version of the Linux 2.6.6 kernel. This package add options for kernel that make it more secure for servers and such. See : http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/ for list of features we have included. For instructions for update, see: http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/kernelupdate.php GrTz, Sean
  9. I think just every body knows about tripwire, hell, I even have their poster... I also know that there are similar products by other people on the web... The question: Who's tha bestest? :P (Spelt bad on purpose ofcourse!) Sean
  10. Ah, nice :) That shed some light ;) Lol, you having nvidia driver problems with 2.6? I don't really have any driver problems as my 2.6 machine operates with minimal hardware anyway (home based server...). I wonder if my laptop (with a ATI M 6000) will have any trouble as soon as I upgrade to 10... (Still on 9.1 on my laptop). Sean
  11. Sean is wondering what the exact differences are between say, these pre-compiled kernels: kernel-2.6.6.0.rc3.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm; Standard issue kernel compiled with defaults? kernel-BOOT-2.6.6.0.rc3.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm kernel-enterprise-2.6.6.0.rc3.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm; Special load balancing for servers? kernel-i686-up-4GB-2.6.6.0.rc3.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm; Custom compiled for efficientcy on i686 arch with upto 4 Gbyte of ram? kernel-p3-smp-64GB-2.6.6.0.rc3.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm; For P-3 With up to 64 Gbyte of ram? kernel-secure-2.6.6.0.rc3.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm; This would be extra secure? kernel-smp-2.6.6.0.rc3.1mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm What is the difference between the bunch, is there any one that could tell me what is special about every one of these pre-compiled kernels? I have been running the 'kernel-secure-2.6.*' kernel-versions for the past couple of months, they are nice and stable... Why is this kernel more secure than any of the others [if it is so]? I didn't seem to find much on this subject in my frantic search, so it would be cool to know more! Sean
  12. Steve, Your a life-saver... Thanks mate! Sean p.s. 1 of 4 now running on 2.6 !!!
  13. Hi guys, First of all I am happy to hear that the official release of Linux 2.6 is out on te prowl! I want to thank all the hard-working kernel developers and contributers for their fantastic work. Keep it up! My problem: I got MDK 2.6 kernel RPM from the great MDK-Cooker... Now when I want to urpmi the package is tells me that it needs like 4 dependencies. I have 3 of the 4 installed and am having problems with #4. The package is "udev". It needs kernel >= 2.60 to install... yet 2.60 needs udev to install... HELP? Thanks, Sean
  14. Okay, here is my problem: My HP Omnibook 6100 (and another machine) don't seem to take full advantage of the 100Mbits NIC. * When I copy files over my network, it doesn't go fasten than 3 Mbyte per second... SMB or FTP... Same thing... Does any-one have any suggestions? I am on MDK 9.1. Sean.
