It won't work. One iso is one disk image, including the boot sector, so you can only burn one at a time, after which the disk will be closed. The method for burning iso's is usually DAO, which does not allow additional sessions. By the way, I also tried the script and it failed. I will try again when I get a chance.

I seem to have a lot of trouble with my VIA ehci controller on my ECS K7S5APro mobo. The mouse used to lock up all the time, until I got fed up and hooked it up to one of the USB 1.1 ports. Did you try to get the printer working on one of the 1.1 ports? Adding an entry to modules conf tells the system to load another driver at startup. I don't think you need to do that, all three USB drivers (uhci, ohci and ehci) should be already loaded (you can try to modprobe them). Is the printer detected in the Hardware section of the MCC?

Did you try x11vnc? SourceForge is, by the way, one of my favourites!

More Google-ing and the fact that I wanted to be a true Linux user, made me revise the process: rsh -l root shutdown -g0 -y did the trick, after adding the machine to /etc/hosts and creating /.rhosts with the machine name and user name in it. *IX rocks!

Sweet, Dude. And thanks for letting us know.

I think you're right saying you can't reach outside of your box. If it's a new setup, you may have a bad cable, you may need a crossover cable if at the other end is another Ethernet card, or the other device may not work or respond. So what is the gateway, anyway?

First, you must be sure that your network card is working OK. As root, do an ifconfig eth0 an you should get a few lines of messages, including one with an IP number. You can try to run adsl-setup from the console and then do adsl-start or adsl-stop to fire it up or kill it. Once it's set up, ping www.google.com to test your connection. The rp-pppoe package also has a gui that you can use.

You may also get some info if you launch xmms from a console instaed of double clicking the icon.

Is there anything in /var/log/XFree.0.log that doesn't look right?

Have you noticed how M$ didn't bother to come up with a new version of IE after they won the browser war? All they did was to release SP1, as it was too messed up...

I think you want to do something like pcAnywhere, right? I believe you must specify screen 0 when you VNC into your Linux box. I can't remember how it's done, but try the VNC docs or google it with screen 0 in the search criteria. Sorry I can't be more helpful - it's been a while.

Try to manually select the driver - emu10k1. I believe you can either do it in the Control Center or by typing drakesound at the command prompt.

You could try to format a USB key as bootable and use it as a floppy, if the BIOS can recognize it. This way you could attempt a hard drive install.

Good stuff. Now, if I could get mine to work... I actually compiled the module from source (the GPL'd version 1.00.0.10). I can insmod the driver, but it takes for ever to do anything with the drives. I keep getting timeout errors, something to do with 'cam'. Could this be because I only have PATA drives and the SATA ports are being scanned?

Well, I know I need closure, so I figured you may want to know what's goin' on, even tho' you may not like the solution. I don't, but I was out of ideas. I wrote a VB program that uses 'SendKey' to tell telnet what to do, including login info and the shutdown command. It is triggered by a battery event on the windoze server and shuts down SCO. I hate it, but it's extremely simple and it's consistent with M$'s crappy way to do things....
