Psst - look at /etc/inetd.conf and if you run xinetd, /etc/xinetd.conf,
which call the "designated" smtp handler (and pop3 and imap handlers,
for that matter.)

3 different file systems here, 2 different machines, same md5sum and no
differences reported by cmp. I'd guess it's a bad drive or possibly bad

Okay now I am in a pickle.  Qmail is installed.  Exim is not activated at boot
but it still handles all of the smtp services for my machine.

I should have listened to all of your advice but did not.

Nowhow do I tell my Debian box to let Qmail take over the mail services?

That's a difficult question, because actually I've never understood what 
happens with the ADSL drivers I use!
Anyway, when I connect to internet with B I get a ppp0 interface (the 
ADSL modem is USB so no ethernet interfaces used) and the routing table 
setted up as I wrote. Actually I don't know where 192.168.100.1 IPaddr, 
I only know that it appears also when I do "ifconfig":

The 192.168.1.1 IPaddr should be the address of B in the local network 
I'd like to install.

I hope to have been clearer!

sounds like it could be bad hardware. I've never had such a thing happen.
I tried downloading that WAV file and copied it to 4 different places
(2 local partitions and 2 NFS partitions located on different systems) and
the md5sum remained the same for all.

maybe bad ram..or something, not sure

Firstly, your eth0 interface is not configured at all.  You will need to

You will get an entry such as:

This tells the kernel to route all packets destined for 192.168.1.0/24 to
interface eth0.  This is all you need to do.



I've already done this, and there's a route entry as you told, but it

Like you, I made the /var partition to small.  Rather than repartition,
I made a directory /home/aptcache.  Then in /etc/apt.conf put the line:

Dir::Cache::Archives "/home/aptcache"

My /home partition is plenty large.  /var is now sufficient for its

md5sum & cmp don't work on wav & avi files

[Michael Waters]

Hi,

I was stress testing an old P233 that I just got when I discovered that
md5sum, cmp, and cksum don't seem to work on particular wav & avi
files.  Does anyone know anything about this?  

If I use md5sum several times on the same particular file, I get
differing sums.  If I copy the file to a different drive or partition
and use cmp, cmp reports differences.

The file here exhibits this for me:
http://lame.sourceforge.net/download/samples/hihat.wav .

Am I going crazy or do I have bad hardware?  I can't seem to find any
info in search engines.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Michael

Re: Will my fonts ever look good? [SOLVED]

[Bill Moseley]

Finally.

For the archive, I got help form the XFree86 Fonts list.

I have mozilla and mozilla-xft installed.

I added this to /etc/fonts/fonts.conf:

 
 
 15
 
 
 false
 
 

and this turned off antialias fonts for the smaller fonts.  Makes it much
easier to read on my monitor/video care and resolution.  I'm running

Even though Opera reads the fonts.conf file, it is still showing

there are various configurations/utilities you can use to do this,
but i can't remember off the top of my head what they are.  a quick
hack fix:

rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb

should free up a good amount of space.

To get some idea of what's using your disk space, try something like "du
-ks /var/*" or "du --kilobytes --max-depth=1 /var/".  You might also
like to pipe the output of "du" to "sort -nr".

apt-get stores downloaded packages in /var/cache/apt/archives.  you can
clean these out using "apt-get clean".  I don't know whether apt-get
will automatically clean out its cached packages when it need the space;
perhaps your upgrade simply requires more than 300 MB.

Hope this helps

Debian Potato on PB520 and Linux in general

[John Steven Sobtzak]

 Hi!  I'm a new user trying to feel my way through the installation 
process.  Specifically I'm trying to install Linux on a Mac Powerbook 520 
and have a couple of questions that I am hoping someone can help with (i.e. 
please forward to correct people ;-).  Let me start by saying I am NOT a 
software guy, I am an electronics engineer, but I do have a comprehensive 
understanding of how hardware works.  I am trying to get a LaTex editor on 
my old Powerbook so I can use the portability of the PB as I write a 
Masters thesis.  In addition to LaTex, I need a way of moving/printing 
files from the PB, ideally over the Ethernet port and/or even the floppy 
drive.  THAT'S THE GOAL!

 1)  First of all, I am extremely limited on HD space (~250MB) and have
found in the Debian Installation Manuals and Mark Scott's Installation
Instructions that the only way to install Linux on my Mac is to download
the install files (macinstall.tgz and base2_2.tgz) onto my MacOS partition
and run the installer from there.  This chews up quit a bit of my hard
drive (~55 MB, with a minimal installation of OS 7.1.1).  Is this correct,
in that its the only way to install?

 2)  What I'd like to do is install Potato from the MacOS partition, go
back and delete the install files, then shrink down the MacOS partition and
increase the Linux root partition.  Is there a tool in Potato that will let
me do this without having to reinstall either system?  Is this even
possible?  Mark Scott's Instructions suggest leaving <10MB for MacOS, but
how is this possible if I must download the install files into my MacOS
partition?  Or can I put some files into the Linux root partition prior to
installation?  If so, how and which ones?   Ideally, if I read everything
right, all I need in the MacOS partition (after installing Potato) is a
minimal system to boot into MacOS and the Penquine booter so I can start 
Linux from there, so I'd like to eventually get my MacOS partition down to 
as small as possible <10 MB).

 3)  One solution that was suggested to me was to create a 2nd HFS (Mac) 
partition on my hard drive, download the base2_2.tgz and macinstall.tgz 
files there, run the installation from there, then repartition that block 
for use (some how) in Linux after installation.  Well, I hit a couple of 
snags.  First, the Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.2  (or 7.3.5) will not let me 
create a 2nd HFS partition on my HD, so when I reboot into OS 7.1.1 I don't 
see any thing but my HD partition.  Am I suppose to see the other 
partitions in MacOS if they are not HFS, i.e. the A/UX partitions?  Second, 
if I do get a 2nd HFS partition, I need to save the Penguin booter in my 
principle MacOS partition, so can I move the booter into the "small" MacOS 
partition with the MacOS and leave the rest of the installation files in 
the "to be destroyed" partition?


 3)  Finally, being new to Linux, what is the difference between the
Kernel and Base install?  Does the Base use the Kernel?  My understading is
that the Kernel is the core of the OS and the base sits atop the kernel,
i.e. the base is the upward interface of the kernel?  I ask because reading 
some of the literature on http://mac.linux-m68k.org/ and found out that the 
kernel in
the Potato release (2.2.17) does not have support for my built-in ethernet
port on the PB520, which I would really like to use.  However, the webpage
does hint that the newer kernels (2.2.23 and 2.4.x) may have the support
that I need to run the Ethernet port and/or floppy drive.  Is there
software on the http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=11666
page that would let me do this?  It says, "If you have a Powerbook, you'll
want to try a 2.4 series kernel to get support for ADB."   ADB?   Also, I
look out at the http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=11666
page and see the various files but have NO IDEA what they are, i.e. which
ones are kernels, what the rest do...  Are the System*.map.gz files kernels
and base systems?  The extent of my knowledge so far is with the install
files from Debian: linux file = the kernel (2.2.17), root.bin = ramdisk (is
ramdisk just used in installation?), the various base files = base system,
and device.bin = device drivers?

 Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
 John

you know, i have no idea on this one.  do you get it if you take both

300MB for /var on a Debian system is somewhat thin, but can be dealt
with.

You'll want to run 'apt-get autoclean' periodically to remove 'stale'
package files (those for which a more recent version is on your system).
If you still don't have enough space, 'apt-get clean' will remove *all*
package files.

If you're still running tight of space:

# cd /var; du -sx * | sort -nr | cat -n

...will show you the directories in /var in descending size.  You'll
want to comb through these to find where you're using excess space.

I try to allocate ~1GB for /var on a typical workstation.  For server
purposes, you may want to carve out various spool or webserver
directories separately.

Peace.

For some strange reason the symlink for current hasn't been updated:

From what I've been reading, unless I went right past it, the common
boot loaders only support local or serial console - not something over a
lan for the boot prompt et al. What I'm looking at, KVM is more
connection with the headless servers than I need - hey, I use Linux to
leverage running applications anywhere - the boot-up is the only point I
wasn't sure about in terms of what could go wrong that I haven't seen so
far.

Re: minimal impact kernel upgrade

[sean finney]

heya,

if you're going from one debian-supplied kernel to another, i
don't imagine that you'll horribly break anything.  worst case
scenario, you can tell lilo to boot into linux.old and have
your old system back.  some stuff i'd hold onto is

- your current kernel's config options (/boot/config-2.4.19)
- the output of lsmod
- and a copy of /etc/modules and /etc/modules.conf just for kicks.

i think the first one is the most important.  you can compare it
to whatever gets installed by the next kernel to find specific
differences.

   It looks like you are trying to install the testing version of
   locales.  Since you have a woody installation, check your
   /etc/apt/sources.list to make sure it includes woody or stable
   sources, and /etc/apt/preferences to make sure woody is your target
   release.

   You could try "apt-get -t stable install locales" to make sure you
   are trying to install the woody version.

OK, I tried this suggestion (thanks), except that I don't have an
/etc/apt/preferences file at all--I assume that in this case the
command-line flag determines the distribution to be installed; I got
essentially the same results as before.

   > ...but if I try to install glibc-2.2.5, I get:

   glibc-2.2.5-xxx are virtual packages that install libc6-2.2.5-xxx.

But then why does apt-get say that it is missing, when it knows that
libc6-2.2.5 is already installed?  It makes no sense.

Again, many thanks.

The other day I decided to play with postfix; I ran "apt-get install
postfix" and exim ended up being removed. After I had played with postfix
for a while, I ran "apt-get install exim" and my system was returned to its
former state. Exim worked just as it had before I installed postfix.

Of course, YMMV.

For #1 I use AMSN, which is an msn messenger clone. Works perfectly!! It 
even looks just like the real thingwithout the advertising.

PS I'm using version 0.70 with no problems.

bin/cue was originally used by some old DOS burning program. The bin
file is the actual data to be burned and the cue file is an instruction
sheet on how to burn it. The strength of bin/cue is that it can contain
more than just a single ISO data track - mixtures of ISO data, CD audio,
(S)VCD video, or just about anything else. And, in spite of the above
comments, bin/cue files are almost universally usable, recent versions
of cdrdao will burn them just fine.

Hi,

Why don't these images compress well?  Specifically, I took the
Knoppix V3.1-2002-12-12-EN iso and gzipped it, but only got 1%
compression.



Knoppix is using a compressed fs and has equivalent to about 2Gb of 
uncompressed data on it. Isos of uncompressed data may zip better.

It looks like you are trying to install the testing version of locales. 
Since you have a woody installation, check your /etc/apt/sources.list
to make sure it includes woody or stable sources, and /etc/apt/preferences
to make sure woody is your target release.

You could try "apt-get -t stable install locales" to make sure you are trying
to install the woody version.

Can leave Exim installed if I install Qmail from source?
(Exim is not started at boot time)

If so then I might just leave Exim alone and install Qmail from source.
I want to do Qmail from source so I know where things are.
Don't get me wrong, apt-get is my best friend, but sometimes I don't

I guess the Knoppix guys already try very hard to compress what's on

I would recommend using gabber, getting a Jabber account and using Jabber's
MSN gateways. everybuddy does indeed work but the version in woody is well

can i trust you with this laudable project

[bello afolabi]

MR. BELLO AFOLABI
INTERNATIONAL TRUST BANK
EMAIL:[EMAIL PROTECTED]


Attn: THE PRESIDENT / CEO

It is with trust and confidence that I make this
urgent important proposal to you in view of the fact
that you are trust worthy and reliable.  Currently I
have a business that I think would be of interest to
you and your company.

I am the Western District Bank Manager of  INTERNATIONAL TRUST BANK  PLC. 
However, there is an account opened
in the bank in 1992 and since 1998, no body has
operated this account again.  After careful
investigation, I discovered that the owner of this
account was the president of ARC CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, a
foreigner who died in 1998.  the account has no
beneficiary at present and investigation and proved
that this company does not know anything about the
account,  the total amount is US$6. 5 (SIX
Point Five Million United States Dollars Only).

In light of the above fact, I need your assistance to
handle this transaction with you,thereby providing
your bank account or any account of your choice where
this fund will be remitted.  Your assistance as a
foreigner is necessary because the management is ready
to welcome anybody preferably a foreigner who has the
correct information of the account which I will give
you immediately, if you are capable to conclude this
transaction with me.

Now that the management of the bank has ordered that
all dormant account will be frozen. On the strength of
this order, I wish to make advantage of this situation
and present your company as beneficiary and get it
transferred to your designated account.  Be informed
that all documents related to this transaction will be
destroyed immediately after the transfer, since every
arrangement to transfer this fund to any account you
will provide has been concluded. 

Furthermore, no receiving your positive response, I
will apply for annual leave for our fact to face
meeting in your country for the sharing.  I will give
you 20% of the total fund for your assistance though
the percentage is negotiable and I will not contact
any other person until I am convinced that you are not
interested.

I will like to have your phone and fax number for easy
communication.


Best regards,

BELLO AFOLABI

If you're looking for an instant messaging client that you can use to
chat with MSN users, try these:
* MSN Messenger for Linux
  - no plugin required
  - most similar to MSN Messenger
  - 
* GAIM
   - use the MSN plugin
   - most popular
   - 
* Everybuddy
   - no extra plugins required AFAIK
   - supports file transfers
   - 
* Gabber
   - find a server supporting the MSN transport
   - most interoperable
   - 

Go to  and perform a search to
see which are available as a Debian package.

pgi help needed

[Dan Peterson]

Hi there,

I'm using pgi (piggy) to attempt to build my own
Debian iso, but I'm running into some problems.

Initially, I thought this was related to the build
being run on a 'stable' box seeing as how pgi's only
available in unstable.  So I went through the whole
process on a machine running 'unstable' but it's
puking in the same spot there as well:



...

Does anyone have any idea as to what I might could do
here?  I've looked on the Debian package page and I
can't find any that provide '/lib/libnss_dns-.so'. 
Especially since unstable uses libc6 2.3.1, rather
than a 2.2.x version.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions,

Historical reasons, as I said. :) Six years ago it wasn't always obvious
that the other branches existed, and even if it was people just picked
whatever implementation looked best when they were putting together a
distribution. There wasn't necessarily any overriding reason back then
why Debian and Red Hat should have picked the same implementation of
everything, or even necessarily been particularly aware of what the
other was doing. Since then you often find that the branches have
diverged too far apart to be simply merged, and both have had different
features added which people want; switching branches would lead to
people being surprised by features disappearing.

It's unfortunate, but there you go. Competition is occasionally healthy.
Since it's all free software, the best thing to do is to try to merge as
much as possible.

Software that can be used with MSN

Hi all,

I have two questions regarding free software that can be used with MSN:

1.) What program can I use as an alternative to MSN messenger? I know there
was something called everybuddy (Is that what I should apt-get?).

2.) Is there a program that will download Hotmail email (I know one version
of fetchmail used to have that facility (?)). This will save me going
through Hotmail website and will prevent my lovely wife ever booting into
windoze again to use Outlook... Oh well, she is learning... :-)



I am sure we have alternatives, I just don't know which ones are the most
recommended ones...

What are bin and cue images?  In this context, I though that ".bin"
was just another way of naming files, since ".iso" is only a convention,
not a mandate.

Yeah, I've noticed that.  Every time I (accidently) say something
interesting and meaningful (to me, at least) during a youth group
meeting, everybody just looks at me like I'm sprouting antennae.

"ISP? What's that?"  Someone seriously asked me that.  "Computer
language?  You mean you're learning how to talk to computers?  How do
you talk to them?" *sigh*  Those quotes from the future of
America... *rolls eyes*

Yeah, really.  I mean, how many pairs of brown, high-heeled sandals
can you have?  I'm a girl, I was 15 a couple of years ago, and I still
don't understand it.

Why do you say that?  I never found that to be true.  Usually we're
shy-- get beaten up enough times, you'd be shy, too.  Besides, there
are 3 types of 15-year-old guys-- the ones who hate nerds (all nerds,
that is; girls aren't let off the hook); the ones who are scared off by
girls who are slightly more intelligent  than average; and the guys
who are also somewhat more intelligent than average, but are so shy
that they can't put 2 words together when they're within 20 feet of a
girl.  Or at least, that was my experience; anyone else care to
comment?

Ok, I'll bite:
Why do Debian and RH track different branches of extremely common

What's wrong with the Athlon XP?  For uniprocessor systems, you can't
buy any other Athlon besides XP.  (Well, you *could* buy an Athlon MP,

Sorry about the previous post w/o RE line

Get kernel-source package of your choice and compile your own kernel.

If you can compile the driver module as you are trying to do, then you can compile 
your own kernel.

Amavis should scan only mail for existent users (Exim)

[Mike Mimic]

Hi!

I have installed an Amavis system for Exim
(amavis-exim). I have configured the Amavis
and Exim and now e-mails are scanned and correctly 
filtered.

But there is a problem. Exim now accpets e-mail
even for non-existent users. It than scans e-mails and
than it refuses them if there is no such localpart.

This is a problem as server does unnecessary work.

And querying Exim about existance of an e-mail address
(I use Mail::CheckUser Perl module for this) now
always returns true as Exim accepts everything.

I have also MySQL users on my system.

I added this to Transports section:

amavis:
  driver = pipe
  command = "/usr/sbin/amavis <${sender_address}>
${pipe_addresses}"
  prefix =
  suffix =
  check_string =
  escape_string =
  # for debugging change return_output to true
  return_output = false
  return_path_add = false
  user = amavis
  group = nogroup
  path = "/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
  current_directory = "/var/lib/amavis"


I added this to beginning of Directors section:

amavis_director:
  condition = "${if eq
{$received_protocol}{scanned-ok} {0}{1}}"
  driver = smartuser
  transport = amavis


I added this to beginning of Routers section:

amavis_router:
  condition = "${if eq
{$received_protocol}{scanned-ok} {0}{1}}"
  driver = domainlist
  route_list = "*"
  transport = amavis

I would guess that it's due to nautilus's build-dep on libfam-dev (which
has been compiled with g++-3.2 in unstable), and some other build-dep
that depends on the non-g++-3.2 version of libfam.  Thus, the build
dependencies cannot be resolved.

usb-scanner detected, but nothing about usb in /dev

hi!
i've just bought an epson 1660 scanner, but i can't install it because it's 
not detected.
i've tried to figure out what the problem is, and only found more problems.
i use kernel 2.4.18
here is what i found, it really looks strange:

when i try sane-find-scanner
i get:

sane-find-scanner: checking /dev/usbscanner0... failed to open (status 4)

and syslog says:

lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   10 Jan 14 19:14 /dev/usbscanner0 ->

the last 2 devices usbscanner(0) where created by myself, using a readme in 
the kernel-source directory.


hoping someone has an idea what to do

I suddenly realised the /usr/src/linux symlink should
point to kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7/include - as that
dir has a subdir linux which contains the needed .h
file.
I did the following:

ln -s kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7/ linux
...
cd
modules/nvidia-kernel-1.0.3123/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123

make
make > /usr/src/new-error.txt

...

Unfortunately, after some compiling stuff the Makefile
suddenly stopped again with this as last output before
the error. 
Now I really have no idea what this means anymore :-(

ld -r -o NVdriver Module-linux Module-nvkernel

What boot loader only supports serial console??

Personally, I'm very happy using KVM...

CBC Systems -=- Cheap, Reliable Computers - Locally

[CBC Systems]

Dear, [EMAIL PROTECTED]!

This is a quick e-mail to let you know about CBC Systems. A Company set up by a local 
group of highly experienced computer enthusiasts. CBC Systems build Custom made 
computers for you, which works out cheaper than a computer bought at PC World, for 
example. Only the parts you will need will be included, for example if you play a lot 
of games you will need a fast graphics card which you will not otherwise need. If you 
on the other hand only write up the odd letter, or go on the internet you will not 
need such a fast graphics card, and this will therefore reduce the cost of the 
computer. All components come with a 1Yr warranty, so should anything go wrong it will 
be repaired within days. You will also receive lifetime technical support, so if you 
ever need any help you can call us, or e-mail us any time of the day.
Our computers start as low as £300, which includes a Monitor, Modem, Keyboard, Mouse, 
and all the neccessary components to get you started.
Our website has some information, though our webmaster is quickly working to have the 
site updated. In the meantime, for a quote please do not hesitate to e-mail me.

While this is the solution that I'd recommend as well, you do have the
option of using the web-based clients for the major services. ICQ and
AIM both have Java clients that run directly from their websites. I'm
pretty sure that Yahoo does as well. Not sure about MSN though. But
running a console client on your home machine and just connecting to it
would be a better option instead of running 3 seperate web-based clients
IMO.

Do you have kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7 installed? I've never built the
nVidia stuff for use with a precompiled kernel. I've only done it as
part of compiling my own kernel. At a minimum, I'm guessing, you need
to install the kernel-headers package that corresponds to your running
kernel in order to compile the nVidia drivers.

try dpkg -l | grep kernel-image

that may reveal more info on what your running. it may not
return anything.

upgrading/changing kernel, especially if its a minor change
(2.4.x->2.4.x) should not affect the system config in any way
unless you are using custom modules which you compiled from
source, those may need to be recompiled. most people don't use
such modules though(Nvidia, vmware are common examples).

I did a search on that error and came up with:
http://dvd.sourceforge.net/xine-howto/en_GB/html/howto-10.html

 Using Linux, I get an error which contains status=0x51 { DriveReady
SeekComplete Error }

To fix this error, try enabling `Use multi-mode by default' in your kernel
(re-compile setting ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support -> IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block
devices -> Use multi-mode by default to `Y'). The relevant piece of kernel
documentation states:

CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE:

  If you get this error, try to say Y here:

  hda: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
  hda: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

  If in doubt, say N.

check /boot/config-`uname -r` for CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE

my redhat 7.3 system has this set to Y, but my custom debian systems
have this set to N ..

not sure what the default is.

changing this may help the other problem(s) as well.

Re: NVidia source compiling problems

[Joris Huizer]

Sorry - because lynx couldn't log in on yahoo.com I
have to reboot in windows to read mail which is why I
didn't add it before.


I've got the nvidia-kernel-src and nvidia-glx-src both
in /usr/src.
I've used the following commands (as suggested by
Ochronus somt time ago)

cd /usr/src/
tar xvfz nvidia-kernel-src.tar.gz 

export KSRC=/usr/src/
 - or -
export KSRC=kernel-headers-2.4.18-k7/

export KVERS=2.4.18
cd modules/nvidia-kernel-1.0.3123
debian/rules binary_modules

Because the kernel is pre-compiled this gives problems
(cc mismatch) - therefor I edited the Makefile in the
NVIDIA subdir, so it won't stop right away. Then
when I call the 'make' prog I get this error output:

Sound problem after upgrading to testing

[AR]

After upgrading to testing from woody, I am unable to hear the sound 
track in mpg movies in xine, or hear any music in cdrom drive. GnomeCd 
from gnome2 tells me  drive error when I start it with a Cd in the 
drive. However, I am a member of the cdrom and audio groups. I am kind 
of clueless here.  Events have sound fine. mp32 can be heard. Does 
anyone have a clue?

You don't need to use sed or awk:

jan@k500:~/tmp> x=`cat animals`
jan@k500:~/tmp> echo $x
cat dog goat duck

or:
jan@k500:~/tmp> cat animals | tr '\n' ' '

Then again, you might want to consider why they shut down all IM
services.

Do you have web access, even via a proxy?  If so, then you can run a Jabber
client.  Then, you can connect to an external Jabber server that hosts
AIM/ICQ/MSN gateways and still talk to your non-Jabber friends through the
same client.

If you can connect to home with ssh, you can run a socks server at
home, map the socks server to localhost via ssh port forwarding, and
use your IM services through that.

Alternatively, you can run centericq or similar, which lets you
combine all of your message services into a single console client. If
you run it in a 'screen' session on your remote machine, you can keep
it running and telnet/ssh out to it.

 Thanks for the list. There's only a small problem. The on-board lans I mean

Then after a period of a few minutes a message comes up saying:

Spurious 8259A interupt: IRQ7

My system is as follows:

Duron 800mhz
256Mb RAM
Nvidia Riva TNT2 Graphics Card
Ensoniq Sound Card
Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller ( controls two CDROM devices)
IDE Hard drives


If anyone can give me any insight into what is happening I would greatly
appreciate it. I suspect a SCSI problem but I don't think I am having
hardware issues because other OS's on the system are running fine.

Re: Sed or Awk Question

[Bruno Diniz de Paula]

Using awk:

cat file | awk '{if(NR==1){printf "%s", $0;}else{printf " %s", $0;}}'

Cheers,
Bruno.
