Yes, as far as I know you do need a HW synth.

A question.

[Satyam]

Friends,
I have small problem.
On my system,
I have 2 Operating systems. windows 98 which takes 20gb partitioned into 2
Viz C and D drives.and
Linux consists of remaining 20 Gb.
Now my questions are:
1. How I can see my windows partitions from linux?
2. is possible to interchange files between windows and linux while I am in
linux?
Please revert back for clarification.
Hope to hear from you.
Satyam.

Re: A question.

[Chris Norman]

If the drives are fat32, I think they can be mounted like this:
mount -t fat32 olddrive newpath

You will be able to interchange the files when the drives are mounted yes.

Please baire in mind though, I haven't done this, I'm just guessing.

Can Linux read NTFS?
I heard somewhere that Windblows can't see Linux partitions.

NTFS and Fat32 partitions was: RE: A question.

[Darragh]

Most 2.6 kernels from what I gather will mount NTFS.  SuSE mounts it
automagicly to /windows/C.

To mount a fat32 partition from what I remember you should be able to use a
command such as the following:
Mount -vfat /dev/hda2 /mnt/fat
Where hda2 is the partion and fat is a directory you've created in /mnt.

-vfat may just be vfat without the -. Again, I'm use to SuSE so using 
Mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/fat will do the trick because it will detect the
partition type its self.

I think its SubFS that takes care of this.

To make this change permanent ad  an entry to /etc/fstab for your fat
partition. Same with your NTFS partition when you get it up and running.

There are some kernels with NTFS included but this may need to be activated.

To do this you will need your kernel sources installed.  These are usually
installed in /usr/src/linux or /usr/src/*your kernel version*


I won't go any further as I could write instructions  for doing this for a
long time but I'm not sure if they'd be of any use to you yet.

Enjoy, and if you have any more questions feel free to write to me.

Darragh

Re: A question

[Murthy T S N]

Dear Janina,
I have fc2 at my home.
I am in a plan to make fc2 as speakup  enabled.
For that I need to download  a speakup  enabled kernel.
Now my doubt is whether the old kernel will be there or it will be last
after installation of speakup enabled kernel?
I am using grub as my boot loader.
Hope this info is sufficient.
Thanks.

Re: A question

[Janina Sajka]

OK. Here's what you need to do:

1.)	Download a Speakup Modified kernel for FC2 appropriate to your
computer architecture (e.g. i686 if you have a Pentium IV, or kernel-smp
for i686 if you have a dual processor Pentium IV system, etc).

2.)	Install as follows:

rpm -iv [kernel.rpm.package.name]

Remember that you can use the TAB key to avoid having to type that long
file name completely yourself.

IMPORTANT: You must use -i to get the behavior you're looking for. The
'-i' stands for '--install' and will install the Speakup MOdified kernel
as a new, additional kernel on your system. It will NOT overwrite your
existing kernel. Both will now be available for you at the grub boot
prompt (see more on this below).

3.)	Create a new initrd.img file for this new kernel that
incorporates the Speakup driver for your hardware speech synthesizer (if
you have a hardware speech synth). Follow the instructions (beginning at
Step #4) in the installation HOWTO at:

http://www.linux-speakup.org/ftp/disks/fedora/HOWTO_INSTALL.html

4.)	Your newly installed kernel will e booted by default. If you
wish instead to boot from your old kernel, you must indicate this at the
grub boot loader prompt. You merely need to press the down-arrow once to
move the grub kernel selection from the default, newly installed kernel,
to the second older one.

But, how do you know when to do this? Grub will not waqit forever. It
will time out if you do nothing. And, grub is itself not accessible.

In order to know when the grub boot prompt presents itself for your
command, follow the advice in our INstallation HOWTO under the section
entitled "Grappling ith Grub." Put a Ctrl-G in for each of your two
kernel definitions. This should cause your computer to beep twice (once
for each kernel title) when it reaches the grub boot loader prompt stage
of the boot process.

SPECIAL NOTE: You can, of course, extend the amount of time grub will
wait for your command. Simply change the time out value in your
/boot/grub.conf file. Similarly, you can also change which kernel will
boot by default.

A question.

[Murthy T S N]

Dear all,
I have a doubt regarding kernel upgradation
If I upgrade my kernel to a new version
Will there be my old kernel or last?
If the old kernel is there, how should I boot to old or new kernel?
Thanks.

Re: A question.

[Janina Sajka]

You need to tell us more. We cannot answer your question without knowing
what boot loader, what distribution, what method of kernel upgrade.

With only the information you've provided, the best that can be said is
that you CAN have your old as well as your newly installed kernel
available at the boot loader. You would simply select which to boot.

In fact, that's recommended procedure. Don't ever throw out what is
known to work until you know the new thing also works.
