Thank you Very much! When sent like this it sends the file in a format that Netscape can understand and I get the file intact. I suppose if i get some software for windows that will reassemble a mime text file, I will be able to use the split messages. I don't think i will need this for a while yet. Thanks again!

How to Email a Binary file from the command line
Hi all I am wondering if anyone knows how to send a binary (.tar.gz) file from the command line?

Kernel Panic when trying to Install Slink
Hi All I am trying to install debian slink on a 486 DXII 66 from the hard drive. I downloaded all the files needed to do so. When I run install.bat it says loading then it says uncompressing Linux then it starts to boot the kernel. if fails on a line like this: RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid ramdisk image starting at 0. [MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,FAT 0,check=n,conv=b,uid=0,gid=0,umask=022,bmap] [me=0x0,cs=0,fs=0,fl=0,ds=0,de=0,data=0,se=0,ts=0,ls=0,rc=0,fc=4294967295] Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00 Any Hints as to why this would happen?

Support for IDE ATAPI cds is in the default kernel. I think that more automated scripts would be in order. ie something that LOOKS for the cdrom drive when you choose the cd install method.

OK I installed magicfilter, and looked through the "Filters/Drivers" and I can't find any that look like they would work for my plotter. Does anyone know where or if there are other filters to work with magicfilter?? Prefferable one that outputs in RTL?

From what i understand, it is a chopped down sound card that needs special drivers to understand what the phone line is telling it. These drivers are PROPRIETARY ie secret.

There is a file in /etc/init.d called network this sets up your network. the file is pretty self explanatory and is easy to reconfigure. Check for a line like: route add -net 192.168.1.0 you might try adding a route like route add -host 192.168.1.2 eth0 This assumes that there is only one ethernet card in your system.

Hi all
I am trying to experiment with the grass4.2 GIS software, and when I
start it up I get the message
/usr/local/grass42/etc/gis_set: can't load library 'libcurses.so.1'
I (ass}u{me} ;>) that this means I need the "curses" library (as opposed
to the "ncurses" library) is there a Debian package that contains
this? or do I already have it somewhere and just can't find it.
