Re: booting with same destop / app setup different video and network cards

You might run a script from init which check the output from lspci, and adjust your config files accrodingly. Something like: if [ lspci | grep -q 'VGA.*Diamond' ] ; then cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.diamond /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 else cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.intel /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 fi and something similar with the ethernet.

Apache and cgi's on user-dir...
Hi, We experience a problem with the apache webserver on a server running Debian woody, plain i386 hardware. We have the following setting: IfModule mod_userdir.c UserDir www_docs /IfModule and ExecCGI is enabled for these directories in a suitable Directory tag. Plain html, shtml, php and so on works just as expected. The problem is with cgi-scripts, which will not execute. A strace on the apache-process reviewd that the server still tries to access public_html directory to locate the cgi-script, instead of www_docs as specified. The problem is then fixable by symlinking public_html to www_docs in the users homedirectory. But since we serve some hundred users, this is not an option. So, have anyone else experienced this problem, and is there a fix somewhere? Or is this simply a bug in the debian-make of apache? mvh, -- [simula.research laboratory] Åsmund Ødegård Scientific Programmer phone: 67828291 / 90069915 http://www.simula.no/ PGP: http://www.simula.no/~aasmundo/data/mandus.asc -- auto sig -- NUM 18:22 Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi Jonas! [ jeg regner med du kan lese engelsk... ] You may not get very many replies to this post, since this is an english list... Anyway, I'll try to answer some of your questions.

Jag använde Slackware för ca ett år sedan men tog bort det för att det tog för mycket tid att lära sig. Jag kunde använda det hjälpligt! It's not that hard, in my opinion, and maybe somewhat easier than slackware. But if you really want to use Debian (or any linux for that matter) you should spend some time to learn the system. Btw, you may by a book on the linux you chose.. Fråga två - Stödjer den nya kerneln all hårdvara som finns för tillfället. Den största frågan är om det stödjer REALmagic Hollywood Plus (DVD dekoder). I don't know, sorry. I have the same card in a computer, but I am not sure whether the decoder is used when playing dvd's. Anyway, you may be better suited with Win ME if just want to watch a movie... At least, I reboot to win98 when I want to watch a DVD on my laptop. Fråga tre - Vad är fördelarna med att använda Debian framför andra distributioner och framför vilka fördelar finns jämfört med ME? This question is kind of religious! There are some differences between the distributions of course, and Debian is technically superior to all of them... It is also very easy to keep up to date. Regarding ME, you can't actually compare - then you compare apples and oranges, which not makes much sense. The systems are to different.
