Hi list, first let me apologise for the huge amount of bounced messages a recently barfed out of my system. I had quite a lot of queued up mail on my server (1200+ messages) that hit my improperly configured local exim and got rejected all over the place. so, sorry 'bout that.
so why was my exim mis-configured? cause I lost my mobo, and "forgot"
to keep a copy of my custom exim4.conf. ugh. I know there has been
discussion in the past about dealing with major system changes.... my
old mobo died, so I put my drives into a new one and booted up to see
what would happen... kernel failed to find my harddrives as the right
modules were probably not in the initrd. Isn't there a way to chroot
in through knoppix and rebuild that stuff? I tried several things, to
no avail and would like to work it out in case it happens again.
sound. my spiffy new board has a via vt8233 sound chip, and I can't
get alsa up and running. Alsaconf sees the chipset and claims to have
configured it, but
