RE: keyboardless operation
correct. DIN style keyboards can be disabled in the BIOS, or else you can just unplug them after the keyboard test (this might work with ps/2 keyboards also). You just need it plugged in until the OS starts loading after the POST. After that, pull the plug (or cut the wire if you are hopeless with finding the correct one ;) ).

RE: X login keeps repeating
It commonly happens on VMWare as well. From observation it seems like the modeswitching to another graphics mode fails, causing the X server to crash. At that point XDM sees that there is no X server running and launches the login shell. If it started after upgrading Mozilla, it may (in your case) be a bad shared lib somewhere, it happened to me with the default (M14). Helix-Gnome (gdm) works fine, as it launches straight into the correct mode for the terminal, not needing to switch modes on the fly.

RE: Is there OCR for Linux ?
Greek characters can be represented by an equivalent ASCII character (alpha -> a, beta -> b, etc.). You'd need a specialized parser, but no need to translate the text into another language. The OCR program should of course be capable of generating UNICode, as Greek characters are not part of the ASCII set. J.T.

RE: Accton Cheetah PCI network card
Yah. I have an RTL8139 based card as well. I think the problem is in linux, not the card, as I have them also in several other systems (running Windows95 and Windows2000) and they work great there. Upgrading the linux-box from Slink to Potato b2 made no difference (if anything it's more unstable now). The error I get is something related to the PCI bus, followed by an interrupt error on the card. I thought it might be my mainboard (it is an old machine) but now that others seem to have similar trouble I begin to suspect the driver again. J.T.

remove the reference to XDM in the startup scripts, deinstall XDM, or remove the symlinks to XDM in /etc/rcX.d directories (this just prevents it from starting, does not remove it). XDM can be a pain. At one point X setup crashed halfway through, leaving a corrupted setup file. Next boot, XDM sees a setup file, starts X, blank screen.

Please > suggest how I could configure my XServer. Ok, just download the x-base and xserver packages that fit your video card, and other dependencies. Then, login as root ( still in consile mode, you can not run X without configuring it first) and type xf86config THis will run a config program that will let you configure video card/monitor/keyboard/mouse for X.

RE: lp and Debian 2.0
I had problems with a similar setup (HP660C i.s.o. 890C). Nothing worked until I used magicfilterconfig to create the printer while the Zip was disconnected. I can now print, but have not yet tried if the Zip still works. J.T. Wenting [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Hangar/9203 -Original Message- From: Christopher S. Swingley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 19, 1998 8:23 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: lp and Debian 2.0 I recently switched my P75 from RedHat 5.1 (the upgrade to 5.2 killed a variety of things) to Official Debian 2.0 R1. I have a HP Deskjet 890C and a Parallel port zip drive plugged in series into the first parallel port. When I set it up originally, I made lp as a module, but when the system boots up it says that there is no device. I haven't gotten around to upgrading things to print, but before I get everything the way I want it, I want to make sure that making lp a module is a good idea. Should I start over? Do I need to pass some sort of parameters to the module via conf.modules? I know it's at 0x378, and I suspect it's irq=7. Thank you very much! You'll save me a lot of trouble later!

RE: Debian CDs.
The correct address is www.datom.de, but from their list they are more expensive (even with shipping outside Germany) then ordering from linuxcentral.com from the USA. J.T.

Christian Lavoie dixit: > What's is the best place (on-line) to get the Slink CDs when it's out? If you are in Europe, I got hamm from some guys in Germany, I believe the company name is Datom. Check out on www.datom.com (hopefully that's the right URL). They sent me the CDs straight away, and the payment was due by postal giro or transfer (I believe they now accept credit cards) AFTER I got the CDs. Nice guys... I'll keep requesting my orders through them. PS. the CDs arrived in perfect working order. -- Un saludo, Horacio [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
