Re: Mailman and Exim configuration
Everything is from latest stable branch: 1) I've got Exim and Apache setup and working well. 2) I installed the Mailman package. Everything seems to be working well (listinfo and admin pages display fine, newlist works, etc.) except it won't send anything out, ever. I've googled and googled and followed all the documentation, how-to's and FAQs I can find but nothing seems to help. All I know are these two cryptic entries: /var/log/mailman/smtp: Apr 05 06:26:04 2004 (18547) All recipients refused: (-1, 'version 3.35 debug l vel 9 uid=8 gid=8') /var/log/mailman/smtp-failure: Apr 11 17:16:03 2004 (910) -1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (version 3.35 debug l vel 9 uid=8 gid=8) There are no related entries in the exim logs.

RE: Inspiron 7500 network setup
Terry, Calum, I've got a Dell Inspiron 7500 with a NIC built into the docking station (not a PCMCIA card). ... Anyone have any idea how to get the NIC in the docking station recognized so I can finish configuring Linux and really use it? Snipped replies for Terry and Calum. Thanks. After a bit of work I got it working. The eepro100 is the driver to use, but, interestingly enough, only after a cold boot. This is a dual boot (Windows/Linux) machine and once Windows is booted, the machine has to be shutoff for the Linux driver to work. Thanks again for your help, Harley Pebley
Inspiron 7500 network setup
I've got a Dell Inspiron 7500 with a NIC built into the docking station (not a PCMCIA card). I've got a base Debian partition running that was built from floppies. Anyone have any idea how to get the NIC in the docking station recognized so I can finish configuring Linux and really use it? If it helps any, Windows says it's an Actiontec 82559-based miniPCI adapter. Thanks for any help, Harley Pebley
RE: Cloning machine
I have a Debian based machine I need to clone; ... I put a blank IDE drive as primary slave in the machine to clone and did: dd if=hda of=hdb ...The BIOS saw the disk but gave some hex numbers and refused to boot. LILO never seemed to start; ... Thanks to all (Andrei, Jules, Igor and Erik) for the suggestions and help. As it turned out, for some reason the BIOS refused to boot these disks if it was told to auto detect them at startup (no matter how they were created). Everything works just fine if I set the BIOS to User and enter the disk's geometry. Very odd. Thanks again, Harley
Cloning machine
I have a Debian based machine I need to clone; actually I have 32 so I don't want go through the install that many times for identical configurations. I figured it should be pretty easy using dd but I'm running into some problems I need help with. I put a blank IDE drive as primary slave in the machine to clone and did: dd if=hda of=hdb After about 90 minutes of disk activity it finally finished. I could mount hdb2 and browse around. Everything looked OK. So I put the just copied disk in the new machine as primary master. The BIOS saw the disk but gave some hex numbers and refused to boot. LILO never seemed to start; I assume the numbers are from the BIOS. I removed the jumper to make the disk primary slave and tried booting. This time Linux started to boot but gave a kernel panic trying to mount /. Apparently the boot sequence expects hda (which makes sense) but configured as slave the disk is hdb and so the partition wasn't found. I can use the emergency boot disk to boot and it finds and mounts the partitions just fine when setup as master. I've tried /sbin/lilo when booted from the floppy but that doesn't help. Any ideas on: 1) how to make the copy I have now work? 2) a process other than dd that may be faster? Thanks for any help, Harley Pebley

RE: synchronize docs between os'es
If both documents are on mountable partitions, one option would be to have a simple makefile that copies the newer to the older. HTH, Harley -Original Message- From: David Stern [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 29, 1999 14:27 To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: synchronize docs between os'es I keep word/staroffice docs in several different os'es (debian is my primary), and it's getting to be a PITB to manually synchronize everything across partitions. Does anyone have a simple yet elegant way of handling this? I don't want to reinvent the wheel or make this overly complex.
