Re: mounting windows shares
under windows 2000 (and NT4 I think) there was a program called subset (or something similar) that could mount directories as drive letters, I have not seen anything similar under linux but then again I haven't really looked.

Re: Download utility

Depending on the services available you could try tools like rsync, lftp (the mirror option), wget (also the mirror option) or unison. I'll be downloading from web servers. Wget is an option but can only download 1 file at a time. Thanks, Jacob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: graphic card problems
I had a lot of problems with i810 video cards (intel graphics extreme2's in particular). I ended up add the i810 framebuffer to the kernel, setting vga=791 in lilo.conf and using fbdev as the video driver in XF86Config. if it's an integrated card you may also need to allocate more memory to the card in the system bios. My IBM Thinkcentre's were set to only 1Meg video memory by default, not enough for 1024x768 at 16/24bit color --- Jacob Bresciani Systems Analyst Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Alberta Bus: (780) 492-7368 Fax: (780) 492-1811 [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 13-May-04, at 11:58 AM, Kent West wrote: Thanks for all the surggestions, I have tried adding agpgart but there was not change. Now the first error message is (EE) I810: Given depth (1) is not supported by i810 driver I have played around with the colour depths, evening setting to 1 didn't change this situation. Did you play with these settings by running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, or by editing the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file by hand, or how? If you edited the file by hand at any time, later runs of the dpkg-reconfigure command will no longer affect the file, without notice, if I remember correctly. After running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 I have noticed that there isn't a XF86Config file in /etc/X11 there is only XF86Config-4 with a load of other stuff. Should I have a XF86Config as well as XF86Config-4? The older version of X (v. 3.x) used XF86Config; the newer v4 version uses the XF86Config-4 file. A depth of 1 is too low for the i810 driver; I'd try 8, 15, 16, and 24. I'd also try playing with the resolution lines, removing anything over 800x600 for testing purposes. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Newbie question on cdrom..
I assume your running scsi emulation on hdc. this would change it from hdc to sr0 ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom should fix it. --- Jacob Bresciani Systems Analyst Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Alberta Bus: (780) 492-7368 Fax: (780) 492-1811 [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 13-May-04, at 3:32 PM, Ishwar Rattan wrote: Another one.
