Ethernet boot ROMs

Hello,

I'm thinking of trying some thin client stuff, and I think the most suitable option for booting is to use a boot ROM.

  1. Are they available in Egypt ?? if so, where do I get them ? (Computer stores/Electronics stores??)
  2. Which cards do support them ?? I only know of the D-Link
  3. How do I program them ? (are they EEPROM or do they require a UV-programmer or what?)
  4. Do you suggest any other alternatives ??

D-Link DSL Modems ?

I was wondering which model of D-Link DSL modems (sold in Egypt and you have a first hand experience with) features an easy to use web interface for the firewall ? I used to have an Alcatel modem without a web interface for the firewall and setting up a firewall on it was an impossible task, and there was no documentation for the telnet interface at all.

My mouse

Submitted by mborn on Tue, 22/06/2004 - 00:36.
( categories: Hardware Issues )

Peace!

My mouse is detected as a 2 buttons serial mouse. I am used to this detection even under Mandrake (I use FedoraCore2 (Home)) but Mandrake can make it and know that it is a three buttons mouse not two. In FedoraCore2 it is a 2 buttons mouse (it detects it as a 2 buttons mouse) not three as is the case. In RH 9,0 I used to make the correction and tell the computer it is a 3 buttons mouse. Now in FedoraCore2 I have nothing to make the fix (to my knowledge) so what should I do to make it know it is a 3 buttons not a 2 buttons mouse. My mouse is 3 buttons serial mouse.

I dont like the emulation idea.

Peace!

My speakers give me a noisy sound even if I am not playing anything? that is my speakers (بتوشششش)and I dont know why? I have played a little with the volume control and could make it lower, but it is there and I think it stops when I play something. I use Fedora Core 2.
