This isn't really a complete answer to your question, but I've found
that Visio is the M$ product with the best postscript generation support
(like so many other M$ products its life started outside M$, apparently
they didn't acquire it until after PS was added :-). I fyou can have
your friend export it as PS then you have quite a few options for
viewing it.

Netlimiter liike tool

2006-03-20 Thread Steve Lamb
Ok, this is bugging me immensely.  I'm getting tired of applications on my
linux box hogging all my BW.  Unfortunately most of 'em haven't wised up to
the whole self-limiting of bandwidth.  The primary culprit right now is
Apache.  Every time Google or Yahoo (normally at the same time) decide to pull
links they hit some pictures I have (which are lots) and the rest of my
connections go to hell.  I could limit them with robot.txt, for example, but
that's not what I want to do.  I want to be able to tell Apache (and other
non-self-limiting programs) "you get this much, NO MORE!"

Yeah, I could do it with iptables and a whole slew of deep magic.  Now, I
have the very same problem on Windows.  Any time one of my games decides to
patch they just happy snarf all bandwidth and crap on the rest of the network.
 Enter a nice utility called Netlimiter.  I open it up.  I tell it "such and
such program gets x and y bandwidth and no more!"  It works.  I'm happy.  No
deep magic involved.  Any similar utility, even if it is just a front for
iptables, for Debian?

Synce help

2006-03-20 Thread Keith Bates
I am trying to use synce to copy files to and from a hand-held.

The help message is illuminating:

Syntax:

synce-pcp [-d LEVEL] [-h] SOURCE DESTINATION

-d LEVEL Set debug log level
 0 - No logging (default)
 1 - Errors only
 2 - Errors and warnings
 3 - Everything
-h   Show this help message
SOURCE   The source filename
DESTINATION  The destination filename

I can get files to copy from hand-held to desktop.

eg.  synce-pcp -d 3 'Computer Hints.rtf' ~/Documents/bleagh.rtf

copies file "Computer Hints.rtf" to from the hand-held to my desktop's
Documents folder.

Going the other way doesn't work

synce-pcp -d 3 ~/Documents/'Conference schedule.xls'  Conference.xls
copes the file into my home directory on my desktop.

My question then is how do I use pcp to copy files back from desktop to
the hand-held?

This is probably so obvious, but I can't see how to do it!

I've done this plenty of times over the years.  You just need to rerun a

The bootloader can be run from a local Linux partition or from a live

Or send the dd output to a file instead of a partition. Then you can

That's right.  It does work in so far as the original filesystem is

small price to get their system back working, at least in the short term.



There may be a way around this limitation or to fix it after

2. Take the data off using a tool like dump, xfsdump (for xfs), cpio or

work then use them instead of dd in the first instance.  dd is really only 
useful for backups where other tools may not work well (eg, to backup an 
NTFS file system from Linux when you fear making a new NTFS filesystem may 
be difficult in the future).


dd takes up more space (since it backs up the filesystem rather than the 
files), is very rigid and does not allow for anything except a full 
backup.

a question on motherboard replacement - audio problem

2006-03-20 Thread nunoauboulot

I had to replace the motherboard since it no loger works.

Old motherboard:
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?MenuID=26&LanID
=9&DetailID=193&DetailName=Specification

New motherboard:
http://www.foxconnchannel.com/products_motherboard_2.cfm?pName=K7S741GXMG
-6L

The new motherboard was the only one available in local market that 
could allow me to use processor (AMD Athlon 1.4GHz) that I was using in 
the old one.


I preserved the amount of RAM memory (1GB), although I had to change 
from the type: 168-pin SDRAM DIMM socket (2 cards of 512MB) to the 
type: 184-pin DIMM socket (1 card of 1GB), respectively from the 
previous motherboard to the new one.


I did not change any other piece of hardware (a 30GB Maxtor hard drive, 
a Lite-On DVDRW drive, an unknown brand floppy drive, and an AGP nVidia 
video card successfully works with this new motherboard, using the 
nvidia drivers set when using the old motherboard).


Everything that is in the hard disk, installed using the old 
motherboard, seems to work well with the new motherboard, except for 
sound.


After installing the new motherboard, I didn't run alsaconf and this is 
how my sound was "behaving":
Gnome events sounds were very distorted and I could not make other 
applications to obtain any sound. The applications are mplayer; browser 
plugins like java, mplayer and flash; totem, xmms.


Of course the system was using a previous alsa configuration, set for a 
different sound card. Thus, I ran alsaconf.


After I run alsaconf, all the above mentioned applications present a 
satisfactory sound, however, Gnome events sounds do not play anymore.


After I terminate the Gnome session or even restart the computer, the 
alsaconf setup seem to be lost as the sound condition reverses to the 
one as described prior the alsaconf with the new motherboard.


I noticed this alsa error whenever the system or Gnome restart: No 
state is present for card SI7012.


According to this page: 
http://www.infosys.tuwien.ac.at/Staff/tg/SiS7012/ the audio in the new 
motherboard doesn't seem to be unsupported by Linux.


Based on the above, and due to the sound issue, should I reinstall 
Debian Sarge again or is there another thing that I should install or 
reinstall, or run again, in order to fix this sound issue?

I seem to recall that it doesn't.  I believe that dd will cause the
partition to think it's the size of the original partition.  So it
"works," but you can only use as much space as the original hard drive
had.

There may be a way around this limitation or to fix it after
performing dd.

I use system images *a lot* and the easiest way for me is to boot the
source-pc with a knoppix-disk and then use "dd if=/dev/hdX | netcat ..."
to transfer the image to another machine running linux. The file is
received on that machine by "netcat ... > hda.img". This works perfectly
(at least if you restore to the same machine).

I believe it would give the same result if you do it directly to the
disk as suggested. Of course, you can use knoppix to partition the disk
and make it a file. That's easier to store (bzip2 it and put it on a DVD
for instance).

If you're unsure, find a spare machine, install windows98 and try to
backup and restore it (backup it, delete some files in windows and
restore the partition to verify that everything works and is there).
This way you're quite sure your backup will work on the actual system. 

A pointer: take a dump of the entire drive (dd if=/dev/hda) and not just
partition. I've had some systems that wouldn't accept the restored
version (PC wouldn't boot anymore due to no OS found) unless the whole
disk was restored.

Good luck

If all else fails you can always search for the new .deb files in apt's
package cache (unless you autoclean that after every upgrade). The
"find" command is your friend here:

find /var/cache/apt/archives/ -type f -mtime -5 | sed 's/.*\///;s/_.*//'

(just copy-paste the above into a terminal window; make sure it is all
on one line.) The "-mtime -5" part means "modified less than five days
ago". Change the number of days as is appropriate for you.

ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives/ifupdown*

will show you the dates of the upgrades to the package ifupdown (for all
versions that are still in the cache).

Sometimes that is not enough. Some programs also check things such as 
CPU ID, and other serial numbers.


"dd" or "cat" is probably sufficient, but you will get a file that is 
the SAME size as the HDD.


So, I would get another HDD that is *exactly* equal or larger, and use 
the actual hard disc as the destination file. (ie, /dev/hdd)


(Could someone else please confirm this?)

Will this work if the drives are not of the same size? (I want to backup the
drive so that I can restore it later if there is a problem)

I'm not sure, it's for my veterenarian and there is no more support for the
program, they want her to upgrade to the next program and she doesn't want to
spend the money. The problem is that the machine is running windows 98 (not se)
and doesn't recognize the new cdrw. I want to make sure I can restore
everything before I make any damage. I have an extra hard disk so I thought to
use that. The new one is larger then the one installed.

Like I said, there is no one to talk to, and it seems that they made some
changes to the file format (without changing the major version BTW) so the last
version doesn't work with her files.

Apt: List Recently Upgraded Packages?

2006-03-20 Thread Michael Ruebner
Hi folks,

Is there a switch for any of the apt family (get, cache, file) members
returning a listing of most recently upgraded packages? ifup/down
behaves rather erratically after a dist-upgrade to Sarge (stable), and
I'd like to check whether it got replaced by a more recent version.

TIA

hmm... yep, I'd say that's some buggy performance there... unless... do you 
have a winoptions setting for OOo? check ~/.icewm/winoptions for lines with

.OpenOffice.org 2.0

if there is one that says

.OpenOffice.org 2.0.workspace: 0

that may be your problem. just a hunch, but iceWM lets you configure all sorts 
of things about how different programs behave with sometimes unexpected results.

for ex. I used to have these lines for firefox:

Gecko.Firefox-bin.workspace: 3 #makes it always open in workspace 4 (count from 
0)

Gecko.Firefox-bin.geometry: 1280x568+0+0 #forces window size to those 
dimensions and location.

so that second line was a problem. Seemed to work great until you call up 
another dialog from firefox, like the print window. Well, it got the same 
dimensions as the main window. very ugly.

You seem to have some differences here, but I don't see how important
they might be?


Not important at all, most likely. My asking you about xmodmap was based
on the fact that I can do "xmodmap -e 'keycode 64 = ISO_Next_Group'" and
this immediately blocks VT switching. This misconfiguration is reflected
in the output of xmodmap, i.e. I see "ISO_Next_Group (0x40)" instead of
"Alt_L (0x40)". I was hoping that something similar could be the cause
of your problem, and that this could be diagnosed from observing similar
symptoms. No such luck, obviously.

I still think that the problem lies somewhere in the configuration of
your X server, since the VT switching works as soon as you leave X by
some other means.

You are using KDE if I recall correctly; are you also using the
graphical login with kdm? There are some known issue related to kdmrc
when upgrading from KDE 3.3. (see /usr/share/doc/kdm/NEWS.Debian.gz)

Looking at my own /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc, I get the feeling that the
following section right at the beginning might be relevant for your
problem since it mentions the ttys:

-8<-
[General]
ConfigVersion=2.3
ConsoleTTYs=tty1,tty2,tty3,tty4,tty5,tty6
PidFile=/var/run/kdm.pid
ReserveServers=:1,:2,:3
ServerVTs=-7
StaticServers=:0
->8-

Another very basic thing to check would be whether a new user account
can use VT switching or not. That would at least tell you if the problem
is due to a system-wide configuration or your regular user's profile.

   Florian

Exim4 & Socket

Hi all,
This is my custom  Exim4 router for check user quota:

maildir_overquota:
driver = redirect
domains = +local_domains
condition = ${if eq {${readsocket{/var/run/exim_sockd.sock}{QUOTACHECK 
${lookup ldap {LDAP_Q_HOMEDIRECTORY} {$value} fail} ${lookup ldap 
{LDAP_Q_QUOTA} {$value} fail} $message_size}{3s}{\n}{0}}}{0}{0}{1}}

allow_fail
data = :fail: Mailbox quota exceeded

Now I have change my external socket daemon for check user quota from 
file socket (/var/run/exim_sockd.sock) to "port socket (that listen on 
127.0.0.1 port 9221)

How to change in my router for use new socket?

100Mbps --->  10MByte/sec
1000Mbps --> 100MByte/sec  ( 7sec to transfer a 600MB cd image )

if you're running slower ... it'd probably because
your nic is too slow ( aka realtek ? ) or your cpu+memory
is the bottleneck   

or you have a mixture of incompatible 10Mbps devices mixed in with 100Mbps
devices and 1000MBbps devices

Sorry, the command above is not correct. "dpkg -l" will list the
packages already installed in your system. To find the name of the

I've seen this too Carl. My 733t diagnostic skills point to right-click->move-to
as the problem. IOW, open OO.o in workspace 1. right-click window title and 
move-to work space 3. switch over there and try it out... teleport back to 
workspace 1.

hmm.. on testing this some more, it seems to be, after the move-to, that 
right-clicking in the window is the problem... more testing...

okay. I think I've got it. any action that produces a new window item -- such 
as a right-click context menu, or clicking on the menu bar, or ctrl-F (find) 
which pulls up a new dialog... any windowing related activity jumps you back to 
the original workspace, and if its a dialog, puts that dialog there.

It seems that OO.o doesn't know its been moved to a new workspace, and tries to 
draw its new widgets in the old workspace. IceWM respects that the focus has 
shifted to the old workspace and switches you over there. 

the work around is to open OO.o in the actual workspace you want to use it in. 

and this is definitely a bug, but with whom, I'm not sure, most likely OO.o as 
other apps don't have this problem, AFAICT.

In Ubuntu you need to install linux-headers-2.6.12 for your kernel as
well as kernel-image-2.6.12. Then you can build modules against the
Ubuntu packaged kernel. I am not at an Ubuntu machine right now, so I
can't give you the exact package name, but you can find it with the
command "dpkg -l | grep headers".

That being said, please keep in mind that Ubuntu may be based on
Debian, but it is different than the official Debian distribution. You
may get better information subscribing to the Ubuntu user mailing lists
and asking your questions there.

Thanks for the responses.  I was able to find some leftover 
Sylpheed parts in the the
directories and so reinstalled sylpheed and copied the 
directories and files over to
the new sylpheed dir.  Sylpheed has a nice command to rebuild

Yes, you were talking about mbox folders, but I am not sure that the OP

Individual numbered files, each containing a single e-mail message is 
*not* mbox.  That would, I believe, be maildir.


Since I use Thunderbird with mbox, I can't vouch for what mail clients 
can read maildir files.  According to 'apt-cache show mutt', however, 
mutt can handle maildir, so your suggestion, Paul, of using it should 
certainly work.  Can anyone help Tony out with other possibilities?  Or, 
is mutt OK with you, Tony?

Yes, this is how I do it, except using Postfix.  Then, in my MUA
I configure the "Sending mails" tab to use Sendmail (which Postfix
pretends to be) instead of SMTP.

I have this 80 GByte drive too and the WDC WD360GD (Raptor)

If Knoppix has absolutely no problems, I believe my problems are all 
software related. Knoppix finds it as /dev/sda. I created ext2 
partitions 1-7, no problems. I was unable to run lilo from Knoppix: got 
errors that he could not find the right device mapper.


I get the same error with the Sarge Netinstall-CD.

Then I have tried the new Daily Netinstall-CD's (now 11 different)
with the same errors.

I get tonns of messages that it can not find the partitions...

Then I was using the OLD Woody-Installer using Linux 2.4.27
without modules (all compiled in) and Oh luck...  it works!

I think, there is a problem with "udev".

Note:   I have installed Sarge, Etch and Sid with the same installer
(each on a seperated partition) because I want to have chroots
and LILO failed.  Then I have used the first Woody-CD 3.0r0
and booted, F2 to a console and was running

lilo -r /target/chroot-sarge

lilo -r /target/chroot-etch
lilo -r /target/chroot-sid

and lilo has written lilo and the partitions went bootable

from /dev/sda1 which is the master system running automaticaly
the chroots on my Devel-Station.



Unfortunately 2.4.27 is not an option because I run a multi-user Debian 
that uses faketty to do that and that is 2.6.x depoendent.


It's not udev because I don't use that.

Hi anonymous user 'goofy',
a common approach is to have a utility cd aka live cd like knoppix.
Which this in a cd drive, you would boot to run level 2 or the gui if
you like. From there you would use 'chroot' to access the root partition
of the drive and make sure to hand-mount the root partition so that it
is 'rw'.  once you are at the new root prompt, you can reissue the
appropriate lilo or grub command. This is sometimes all that is needed.

Hi Dave,
I had a problem when I switched to xorg 7.0 in experimenal.
I could not go to a console as you described.
I could open a termianl and 'su' and then /etc/init.d/gdm stop and that
would shut down X and bring me to a terminal. But I had the same issue.
It was some error in xorg.0.conf that complinted about xkb kind of error
and google and found a fix: 'mkdir /var/lib/xkb' IIRC.

Furthermore, make sure that your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file has "xorg" as
the value for "XkbRules" (and not "xfree86"). More details related to
this can be found in /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg/NEWS.Debian.gz



This suggests looking at xkb-data instead of xlibs, which I guess I

Nothing unusual here either, nor in the rest of your config as far as I
can tell.

I have played around a bit in the meantime and found that it is easily
possible to redefine the keyboard behavior in a way which breaks the VT
switching; all that is needed is messing with the keysymbols for the
CTRL and ALT key.

You can use xev (as Jerry Quinn already suggested) to identify the
problem. You should see the proper key symbols for "KeyPress" and
"KeyRelease" events of CTRL, ALT and F1. I get the following:

left CTRL: keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L)
left ALT:  keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L)
F1:keycode 67 (keysym 0xffbe, F1)

I think the keycodes might be different, depending on the layout of your
keyboard, but you should have the proper keysyms. If something is wrong
you can use "xmodmap" to change it, e.g.

$ xmodmap -e "keycode 64 = Alt_L"

to make the left ALT key work normally again.

This is what I get when I run xmodmap without arguments:

$ xmodmap
xmodmap:  up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift   Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lockCaps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x6d)
mod1Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_L (0x7d),  Meta_L (0x9c)
mod2Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4Super_L (0x7f),  Hyper_L (0x80)
mod5Mode_switch (0x5d),  ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)

Maybe a comparison with your output will give you some hints on what
goes wrong.

Thanks Florian, I figured out the chain of depends and recommends
which resulted in zeroconf getting installed.  It came from installing
rhythmbox, then

rhythmbox Recommends: scrollkeeper, yelp, avahi-daemon

avahi-daemon Recommends: libnss-mdns

libnss-mdns Recommends: zeroconf

I would that think that rhythmbox should only suggest avahi-daemon?

there are *way* too many errors to list. amportal seems to try and
trash some of the asterisk-config and it simply ends not resolving
anyway with a bunch of packages uninstalled.


So I think my question has become: where do I get a debian amportal
from?

That may be the case.  Have you tried building the packages yourself on
your own machine?  They provide the sources, so you may want to consult
my package customization howto and give it a shot:

That is more a function of someone having the inclination to package it
and then either upload it (in the case of a Debian Developer) or look
for a sponsor (in the case of a non-DD).  At this point, a package has
been requested ( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=341561
), so some interested Debian Developer or DD-wannabe may latch on to it
soon.

Alternatively, if you need this for a business and can justify the
expense, you may want to see if you can hire someone experienced in
packaging software for Debian to package it up for you.

I actually am using gnome (on sid), and don't have KDE installed.  I'm
not sure how to check which chain of packages I have that recommend
zeroconf, but if I figure that out I could file a minor or wishlist
bug against it.


If you use aptitude in interactive mode you can simply move to the
"Packages which depend on zeroconf" section of zeroconf's package
description, open it by pressing , go to the first installed
package listed there and repeat the process, etc.

It also can be done with apt-cache in a more basic manner:

$ apt-cache --installed rdepends zeroconf
zeroconf
Reverse Depends:
  libnss-mdns
  kdnssd

$ apt-cache --installed rdepends kdnssd
kdnssd
Reverse Depends:
  kdenetwork

With regard to filing a bug report: It might also be that it is more
appropriate to file the bug against zeroconf. After all, it seems to me
that Debian packages are normally set up such that the user actually has
to uncomment something in a config file before a significant change
(such as altering the IP address) takes place.

OK, I just checked and it seems that various people have already filed

You didn't get my reply to this. I did copy my reply to the nntp
gateway as well... 

Anyway... the answer was:


>   - Which distro (Sarge/Etch/Sid) are you running?

I'm trying to use asterisk to manage an external voip box... so I'm
going to run it in a vm and I don't care which debian I'm running.

Anything that works.


>   - Where are you obtaining your asterisk packages?

debian apt mirrors; sarge, etch or sid.


>   - Where are you obtaining your amportal packages?

deb http://rapid.dotsrc.org/ amportal/
deb-src http://rapid.dotsrc.org/ amportal/

which I did because of this:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=8345464&forum_id=42627 

As I say, these packages are broken but I don't know if I'm mixing
them up with the correct asterisk.

It seems strange that amportal isn't in debian... but it doesn't
appear to be.

On the SUSE or Novell website there's a link somewhere to order Dell
servers with SUSE Enterprise pre-installed or on disk.

Upon looking it up I found Dell give users the choice of RedHat or SUSE.
So yes, they do sell linux machines, but you have to dig hard and follow
links it seems from outside Dell's website to get there.

Yep, I have used that several times. However, I ran into a problem a
couple times with Woody & Knoppix (whatever the latest Knoppix ver. was
back then). For some reason the newer lilo in Knoppix was causing
conflicts in Woody. It's been too long so I don't remember all the
details... if I would have had to use the Knoppix lilo any time I
wanted to update my boot sector (I don't think so) or if lilo didn't
like my older boot sector or something weird. Whatever the case, I found
a chroot to be a more surefire way of getting it to work.

So that's why I recommended a chroot for Hugo. Both are pretty easy
though.

I actually am using gnome (on sid), and don't have KDE installed.  I'm

One quick test to try would be to start xev, put the mouse inside, then

at least indicate that X is ignoring the special meaning and that the

The procmail recipe for immediat forward is:

and if you want to store the forwarded messages in your mutt
POSTPONE folder before sending

:0 fw
| tdmailcrforward --spool

:0

.ATTENTION.CR/

the first time, please run 'tdmailcrforward' that it create the config
directory $HOME/.tdmailtools and the config file (which need to setup
correctly ).  (It has excessiv error messages, - look into the code)

Oh yes, if the MTA fails to send the message, it save the outgoing
message in your POSTPONE folder.

Attention:  Only maildir support...
But for mutt no problem to have mailbox and maildir mixed

You do not need to chroot you.

lilo -r /mount_point

will do the job.  Please read "man lilo". ;-)

Compile a kernel 2.4.27 and put your sata_$CHIPSET into it.
Copy the kernel to the first Woody-Floppy (rescue.bin) and be happy.

The Woody installers complains now about the FALSE Kernel modules
but ignore it.  Woody works perfectly with 2.4.27 ans SATA drives.

I get the same error with the Sarge Netinstall-CD.

Then I have tried the new Daily Netinstall-CD's (now 11 different)
with the same errors.

I get tonns of messages that it can not find the partitions...

Then I was using the OLD Woody-Installer using Linux 2.4.27
without modules (all compiled in) and Oh luck...  it works!

I think, there is a problem with "udev".

Note:   I have installed Sarge, Etch and Sid with the same installer
(each on a seperated partition) because I want to have chroots
and LILO failed.  Then I have used the first Woody-CD 3.0r0
and booted, F2 to a console and was running

lilo -r /target/chroot-sarge
lilo -r /target/chroot-etch
lilo -r /target/chroot-sid

and lilo has written lilo and the partitions went bootable
from /dev/sda1 which is the master system running automaticaly
the chroots on my Devel-Station.

I have tried it and it writes output for each file transfered

What is in your /etc/apt/sources.list?

It should be something like

deb ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/debian stable non-free

But do you know the real URL to the JAVA directory?

In the Directory /doc on the DVD/CD is the instalaltion manual.
There is even an "installmanual.ru.html" and

credits.ru.html
errata.ru.html
index.ru.html
releasenutes.ru.html
reportingbugs.ru.html

and then in a subdirectory like "i386" you will find 76 files

What does the tool "amportal" do?

I am using asterisk since several years and it works on a Debian-
Baseinstall with less then 220 MByte. (asterisk, apache-ssl, php5)

Small enough to fit on a 256 MByte CF-Card powered by a Athlon XP 2400+
with 256 MB of memory and a PBX with 2x30 channels on a Dual-E1.

Why?

Maybe it is fun for someone to receive 5000 confirmation messages...

...and maybe we should attach automaticaly a "nettikette" or the

You need to add those modules to your pcmcia-config.
There is a section where you can telle the script what to load.

This is absolutly wrong, because with the first CD
you will have a full Network environement.

It is only the netinstall which sucks in some cases.

This is what I have done since Woody...

I have created CD's for "console" install the for "X" and then
for "GNOME" and "KDE". Another with the *-dev packages.

Such CD's are really cool, because it save you many bandwidth.

Currently I try to do the same for Sarge.

At last not least, I have ONE 650 MByte CCD, which can install
my whole Network from Workstation to Servers...

The d-i with all of the packages do not require more then
650 MByte including OOo, Mozilla, courier, apache, php4, ...

exim maybe nullmailer and ssmtp woulg go onto Baseinstall-CD
while apache goes onto the "Server CD"

There are not realy much CD's...

I have splited it into

1)  Netinstall  1 CD

2)  Baseinstall + Console tools 2 CD
3)  X-Window-System 6 CD including OOo
4)  Devel   2 CD
5)  KDE 3 CD
6)  GNOME   2 CD
7)  Documentations  1 CD
8)  Servers 1 CD

I do not have exactly numbers of CD's
for each section but it is like this.

I am using the popularity-contest to determiner the sequenz ce of the
packages on the CD's if one Section has more then it it on ONE CD.

If I split strict, I would get 17 CD's instead of 13 as in Debian.
But downloads would be reduced to a minimum.  If someone does not
development she/he will never download those 3 CD's.  I have never
installed KDE or GNOME which reduce automaticaly 5 CD's.

Re: Difference between for and while loop

"for" is working on a list of arguments (here: a b c d e) while

use the return status of TRUE or FALSE

Does this help?

Salut Serena,

do you have tried to load the modules one by one?

put following lines in your

+---[ '/etc/modules' ]--
| 
| insmod soundcore
| insmod sound
| insmod sb_lib
| insmod sb
| insmod uart401
+---

"sb" maybe with your parameters...

Right, I am using on ALL of my machines "ssmtp" which works perfectly.

On my BIG FileServer I have installed the courier suite
and respectivly "courier-mta" as outgoing MTA to my ISP.

What about 'man cron' ?

+---[ man 'cron' ]--
| 
| CRON(8)CRON(8)
| 
| 
| 
| NAME
|cron - daemon to execute scheduled commands (Vixie Cron)
| 

|cron  then  wakes  up  every  minute,  examining all stored
|crontabs, checking each command to see if it should be  run
|in the current minute.  When executing commands, any output
|is mailed to the owner of the crontab (or to the user named
|in  the MAILTO environment variable in the crontab, if such
|exists).  The children copies of cron  running  these  pro-
|cesses  have  their  name  coerced to uppercase, as will be
|seen in the syslog and ps output.

+---

or 'man 5 crontab' ?

+---[ man '5 crontab' ]-
| 
| CRONTAB(5)  CRONTAB(5)
| 
| 
| NAME
|crontab - tables for driving cron
| 

|In addition to LOGNAME, HOME, and SHELL, cron(8) will  look
|at  MAILTO if it has any reason to send mail as a result of
|running commands in ``this'' crontab.  If MAILTO is defined
|(and  non-empty),  mail  is  sent to the user so named.  If
|MAILTO is defined but empty (MAILTO=""), no  mail  will  be
|sent.   Otherwise mail is sent to the owner of the crontab.
+--

So all you need to know, is written here.

Please do a RTFM.

Yes, it can be done, but you need to hack the GNOME sources.

I have allready done this for two years for someone and it was only
one line to change in the sources...

Unfortunatly I do not use GNOME and have not the sources installed,
which mean, I can not tell you, where it was exactly.
