Do you know of any free software (movie tools or player) that could play *.dat, *.mpeg, *.avi, *.vivo and others which is specially mend for linux platform?
bz2 would appear to be a better compression than simple .tar.gz
To unzip bz2 you can do either:
tar xvjf filename.tar.bz2 (notice the J instead of z)
OR for those who don't have that setup there are many other options, here is one more:
bzcat filename.tar.bz2 | tar xv

thanks anyway.. i am happy as long as there is someone reply to my quest .... Thanks again ... ............ but question just before Neo7777 last reply is not solved or justified ... Please
...... Neo77777 ? what about the specific keyword to look for the Kernel compilation and installation issue or steps-to-do which you think is best to follow???
Sorry !! the above are information displayed when i reserved IRQ 14 and 15 ...
But when i set to the default setting in the bios where all the IRQ are set to [NO/ICU] then the message below appear.. Notice: that the information displayed on the last to two lines are different...............

I'd suggest getting new 2.4.19 kernel, compiling it and installing, bacause the RAID controller is too new for 2.4.18 kernel, there is a support for your RAID in 2.4.19 though.
I too have an issue with the A7V333 with a Maxtor 40 gig ATA133 drive. The difference for me, however, is that the drive is plugged in as master on the regular IDE controller. I want to do a clean install to that drive, but I am starting to wonder if that will ever be possible because of the ATA133 drive and board.
I am currently running Red Hat 8 with kernel 2.4.19 on this same machine on a Seagate Barracude 30 gig ATA66 drive. I installed it on there plugged into the same controller.
I don't think you can do a clean install with a different kernel, however, right?
