SWAP partition on a different HD
I installed SOLARIS x86 2.5.1 and the identification number for the solaris UFS partition is the same as the Linux Swap! My question is if it is possible to make the SWAP partition on another HD so that it doesn't conflict with the SOLARIS one? I can't make it on the same HD cuz then SOLARIS would see it as a SOLARIS partition and SOLARIS doesn't allow more than one main UFS per HD! HELP Leon Castellanos [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

HELP: (x)emacs scrash my system
Hi, I am using Linux Debian 1.2 with a P166+, 16Mb RAM. I've got a 2Mb mystique video card and AcceleratedX intalled. When I run emacs or xemacs, my system scrashes few minutes later and I can't do anything: no more mouse, no more keyboard (no ctrl-alt-supr). So I need to switch off my computer. Does somebody know what happen ? Is there another way to get my system working again, without switching off my computer ? Is there a file where the errors are reported ? Thanks a lot Franck
[ANNOUNCE] pchat: Psychic chat was Re: PPPproblem
pchat: Psychic Chat === This is to announce the upcoming release of the new _pchat_ replacement for chat(1), part of ppp 2.2.0f for Linux. There are still a few bugs to be worked out, but I'm confident that in a few days it will be available from your nearest CPAN site under .../authors/id/CEVANS/pchat-1.0.tar.gz. (See http://www.perl.com/CPAN for more info on CPAN.) pchat is a re-implementation of chat in Perl, using some of the latest neural net technology provided by Tuomas Lukka's Neural module for Perl. For the first version, pchat will read the mind of the invoker of pon(1) to determine what parts of the chat script are passwords and should be protected before passing to syslog(3). Plans for future versions include automatic selection of which of multiple ISPs to connect to and automatic connection up to 60 seconds before needed to allow time for the dialing to complete, making diald obsolete. Version 2 will automatically track down and scan the minds of systems operators and developers responsible for the ISP's dialup connection in order to provide foolproof connection to all ISPs running some kind of PPP dialup.

Eloy A Paris writes: Eloy I was given a text file containing one file name (no full path Eloy name) per line. My task consists of searching the entire Eloy filesystem and generate a list of the files that are NOT Eloy present. updatedb generates a database of all file names on the system.

Another dumb newbie question.
I'm slowly getting this system to do what I want, but there are a couple of things that could improve. I added to /etc/X11/config the line start-xfs with the result that the Xfont server now starts up at boot time. I also added the line start-xdm, in order to boot straight into the GUI, but thats not happening. A year or so ago I had Slackware doing that but I don't remember what I did. I looked at Top and verified that xdm is indeed running. The other concern I have is that I'm seeing an error message at shutdown that PIE ext. not loaded and PEX ext. not loaded. I have installed xext as well as PEX fonts. I'm using the SVGA Server. I'm plowing thru the man and doc pages but its taking hours I don't have. Any advice would be appreciated. Jim -- Debian Linux!

Support for internal IDE Zip drive?
I've read the Iomega ZIP HOWTOs and noticed that they only mention 3 versions of the hardware (parallel external, SCSI internal, SCSI external). I've also browsed through the Debian website (noticed the facelift) ... there is no good site-wide search engine there, so I couldn't be as complete in my search as I'd like. I have an internal drive that I KNOW I connected to one of my EIDE controllers (plus, I don't have a SCSI host adapter at all). Is there support for this drive yet/already? I'd prefer to be able to use it as install media (instead of several floppies or the network and versus installing Linux ON the ZIP drive). Thanks for any help, mld
