BTW, I think it would be nicer if all the Linux distros assume that all Intel motherboards are ATX. How many bytes would get added if you have the APM support on the kernel? Well, this distro _does_ include APM support compiled into the kernel. However, that support is turned off by default because it's insane to not support the least common denominator. If you read the thread you'll see lots of folks suggesting the apm=on append line or kernel boot argument ... that turns on the APM support that's in the stock kernel :) In short, you didn't have to recompile the kernel to get APM, though there are plenty of good reasons to compile your own kernel IMO. It looks like you have to recompile the kernel to get that feature. I use kernel-image-2.4.4-1 (supposedly unstable package ported to potato) and it does not seem to have apm support enabled. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# apmd No APM support in kernel dmesg doesn't show any apm related messages. Yes, I could recompile the kernel but I really don't like doing that when I administer a large number of not very identically configured systems. It seems to be very inflexible having to recompile the kernel just to get poweroff to work. -akop

Acrobat Reader trouble.
Hello. My printing system has been working very well before I tried to print something with Acrobat Reader. My configuration is the following: Debian 2.0 + Ghostscript 5.5 + rhs-printfilters + Epson Stylus 400. The rhs-printfilter was modified to use a uniprint driver instead of stcolor, and I think that this is irrelevant any ways. Until today, I was able to print nicely all kinds of postscript files and plain text, either from command line or directly from applications. However, when I tried to print a short PDF file with Acrobat reader, beginning with the second page things looked strange. The words were frequently misplaced and sometimes 2 words or 2 characters would be printed in a space where only one word would fit. Basically one thing was printed over another one rendering the document unreadable. I tried to print a different file and had the same problem. Then, I converted those two files to gs ( with cat file.pdf | acroread -toPostScript file.ps )and printed them from GV. It worked. That means that problems is in Acrobat Reader, not in any other component of my printing system. Any one has ideas why that strange thing happened? Is there a way to fix Acrobat Reader? Or may be I messed up something else?
DontZap zaps...(X problem)
I wonder if there is a way to prevent X server from being killed by the CTRL-ALT-backspace keystroke. I know that putting DontZap in XF86Config would do that on redhat. The Debian docs say the same thing. However, this DontZap method does not work here, I am using Debian 2.0. Any one got ideas ?

Re: 3com 3c905b support in Hamm
David Warnock wrote: Hi, Cards recognised by Hamm? I am about to get Hamm installed on 4 PC's. I have been checking out the hardware for Linux compatability by starting the installation of a RedHat 5.0 CD (my Installer arrives on Tuesday with the Debian CD and I want to be sure everything is going to be ready). Currently I have as many different network cards as PC's. Two are recognised by RH 5.0 two are not. The ones that are NOT recognised by RH5.0 are a Intel EtherExpress Pro 100/B and a 3Com 3c905b-tx Fast Etherlink XL PCI 10/100base-tx. The 3c900/905 cards are supported with the latest 3c59x driver. Even if redhat 5.0 does recognize your card it will not function. At least, this was my case. This is because, the RedHat CD that I had came with 2.0.32 kernel. Before, you had to solve that problem by d/loading the 3c59x.c driver compiling it, putting it the /lib/modules/2.0.xx/, and adding a line alias eth0 3c59x in /etc/conf.modules. However the latest stable kernels already include the 3c59x driver that will work with 3c900/905 cards out of box. Hamm, does not recognize or detect your ethernet cards during install. You have to make sure that you select 3c59x module manually. It worked out of box. My computer was online once I rebooted after the install. Are these going to be recognised / work with Hamm? What confuses me is that a slightly older 3com 3c905 tx (ie not the b) is recognised by RH5.0 but as a 3c59x (Vortex). Thanks Dave PS When I say recognised by RH5.0 is means I start the installation, at the point of FDISK I jump to the menu and choose network configuration. With the working PCI card the installation just shows me it's name and goes straight to the setting of IP address etc. With the other cards I get a menu of supported cards, when I choose what I think is the correct one I get the change to autoprobe but it never finds the card. I realise a) Hamm installation is completely different and b) it may be possible to get these cards to work by setting some parameters manually. So what I really need to know is a) will Hamm support these cards automatically or if not can I get them to work with some manual parameter setting.

I have installed hamm by d/loading it. dselect is particularly good for ftp installs. I recommend you not to download packages one by one, but instead just run dselect (once you get ppp working). In 'access' choose ftp as your access method. It will ask you many questions then. You can safely press ENTER to keep all default settings. The only settings that you have to enter are 1) the ftp server, 2) The location of 'debian' directory on that server. In my case the server was ftp.fuller.edu and the 'debian' directory was '/debian'. Once you run dselect just hit install all in Select and it will install a fairly complete linux system, but without X. If you need X, then run dselect again and install X as well.

The other problem I have it I downloaded the files resc1440.bin drv1440.bin base2_0.tgz root.bin linux install.bat and loadlin.exe into the directory C:\Linux Installation Files on my machine and then I ran install.bat from MS-DOS, but it said Kernel Fault: VGXor something and then it said a little more, but it stopped I waited a second and nothing happened. So I reset my machine and tried running install.bat 1 more time but got the same thing. I really don't know what to do. Do I need to format my new partition, or is it fine like it is? What should I do to install Linux? Please help. :) Same thing happened to me. I was doing an ftp install, so I only had to d/load few files before starting. What I did and what I recommend to you is: 1) Create directory c:\debian 2) Copy all reqiered files as listed in the there (do not forget linux file as I did ;-)) 3) write the resc1440.bin to a floppy using rawrite.exe 4) boot with that floppy and start instalation 5) During instalation always choose the install from a hard drive option and enter your c:\debian ditrectory 6) Do everithing else as was said in the install.exe Thanks for any help, Jim [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
