a.out - yup, but it's "chown -R <username> <files>". That's what I was doing in the first place, and I think I stated that in my second post...

anywayz, I haven't had the best of changes to test the idea damein said, but I'll be getting to it tonight. Thanx man, I think it'll actually work

I got the same "LI" problem when I boot from the disk. I dunno about the diskette errors, sounds like a bad floppy to me. Make sure you're slicing your 4gig linux partition up right, and boot with a floppy is all I can say. It's generally a good idea to boot from the floppy with linux, too. I dunno, I just prefer it .

Awlright, damien, I got one for ya...

I have a simple home network. Two machines, desktop and laptop.

Desktop: Win98SE, no-name NIC.
Laptop: Used both NT 4 SP6 and Win98, 3COM NICs.

When I send files from the Desktop to the laptop, things are great, normal speeds (2 M ~ 2 sec).
When I send files from the laptop to the desktop, speed sucks big time (2 M ~ 1 min).

So, what's my problem? Hardware or software, and is it fixable with a software hack/patch or is it only fixable with a new NIC?

Any answers would be great, thx!

Nope, the hd is fast enough--I did tests using 20 M files from one hd to the other, and no problems with either (20 M in a matter of seconds).

Next?

jynx - usually, when network speeds are great in one direction and crap in the other, it's a bad network cable. try replacing it.

barring that, it's almost certainly a bad NIC.
