Re: UDMA 66
manually). The other issue is...how do I enable UDMA or UDMA 66 for that matter? I use hdparm interactively, then once I feel I have a good setup going (after a week or two of uptime and good usage) I'll add the string to /etc/init.d/bootmisc hdparm is the way to go if you want to optimize your dma disk xfer's -- Eric Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.megahosted.com/~en/ GPG-key: C4AB5707 Fingerprint: 9E50 D5C2 2B02 A944 1A28 5CA5 366A 0294 C4AB 5707 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: if you could have just one dead tree book
That depends on what you're into. Any of the Orielly UNIX books are great. Ask for the Orielly suite on CD! -- Eric Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.megahosted.com/~en/ GPG-key: C4AB5707 Fingerprint: 9E50 D5C2 2B02 A944 1A28 5CA5 366A 0294 C4AB 5707 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: New CD Vendor in United Kingdom
Have you paid the required fee for posting advertising to this list? Yea, free copies to just those in the UK won't cut it. You need to send to the us as well =) -- Eric Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.megahosted.com/~en/ GPG-key: C4AB5707 Fingerprint: 9E50 D5C2 2B02 A944 1A28 5CA5 366A 0294 C4AB 5707 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: woody and demudi/sid on one machine
Sounds fun, I think this is a great idea. You won't be able to share any partitions aside from proc, swap, dev, and home partitions though, and you are going to want to have seperate user accounts for either distro if you're going to run gui's like kde, gnome etc. Maybe it'll be a good idea to make both your desktop users a member of an exclusive group and chmod 770 their ~'s so you have access to both desktops. Too many config problems from all the older packages to the newer ones will result in problems for you after you've already installed. better to be safe then migrate stuff across. -- Eric Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.megahosted.com/~en/ GPG-key: C4AB5707 Fingerprint: 9E50 D5C2 2B02 A944 1A28 5CA5 366A 0294 C4AB 5707 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Cdrecord and audio cd [solved]
As a consequence (or so I think), I am able to play the audio cd with both cdplay and gcd, but not xmms. Even cdparanoia rips the tracks. I bet if you go into the xmms config, you'll be able to get audio off of /dev/dsp instead of the oss defaults. Just config it through the ~ on the upper left of the player and go into sound source or something like that. Sorry, it's been a while. But I do remember xmms pulling off of oss defaults for me. -- Eric Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.megahosted.com/~en/ GPG-key: C4AB5707 Fingerprint: 9E50 D5C2 2B02 A944 1A28 5CA5 366A 0294 C4AB 5707 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Booting From Rescue Disk To Begin Clean Install
sounds like a problem with either the bios on the boot machine, floppy disk (I'd check this first. just recently bought a 20 pack of s h i t t y disks, pardon my french), or a bad drive possibly on either machine and most likely the booting one. Either way, you're on the right track with getting the rescue disk but you need to grab root.bin and driver1-4.bin also. make sure you have some good disks that dd cleanly, 14 in and 14 out. and some time for the install. It really sux you don't have a cdrom to run off of but I'm noone to talk. I'm so lazy that after putting together my newest server I used the same two floppies throughout the install process. Lucky for me I had a couple machines here to juggle with. -- Eric Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.megahosted.com/~en/ GPG-key: C4AB5707 Fingerprint: 9E50 D5C2 2B02 A944 1A28 5CA5 366A 0294 C4AB 5707 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I have set up support for my multi-card system and found after ripping and tearing through getting alsa built and configured, (you'll most likely be doing this from source mind you), I had a great sounding workstation.
