Maybe you could configure a mail server and then write a script, which sends a mass of mails via mail(1) to the address the thunderbird fetches from. You could also say cron(8) to run mail(1) minutely or so. Best wishes Richard I have a setup to do this if you're interested. I can easily send you as many 10MB (or more) emails that you'd like, as often as you'd like. Contact me off-list if you're interested.

Lenny RAID1
I have a machine running RH9 with RAID1 that I am planning to move to Lenny. 1) I believe that I can exclude the existing RAID array when doing the install without harm to the RAID array or the data. Is this correct? 2) Once Lenny is installed, how to add the RAID array? Or perhaps this is an option during the install?

Nvidia, apt-get Synaptic
I'm new to the list and Debian, but not new to Linux. I have been running RH for 10+ years and recently was very impressed with Debian and decided to make the switch. Congrats to the team that puts Debian together, it looks like a well thought out distribution. Also, thanks much for an update method that doesn't require a six-pack to get through. I'm running Lenny Beta2. Two questions: Nvidia - I have an Nvidia Geforce 6600LE video card in my machine. I understand that it is better to run 'nvidia' or 'nv' drivers than to get the binaries from Nvidia (However no glx mode). I have looked for the nv nvidia drivers on my machine and apparently do not have them: rattler:/etc/postfix$ dpkg -S nv.ko linux-image-2.6.26-1-686: /lib/modules/2.6.26-1-686/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_nv.ko rattler:/etc/postfix$ dpkg -S nvidia.ko dpkg: *nvidia.ko* not found. I've tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but that didn't help either. What package do I need to install to get the nv nvidia drivers? Synaptic vs apt-get: Is there a difference in these two packages other than one is a GUI and one is CLI? If so, is one method preferred over the other?

Very good information. Thank you. Two questions: Nvidia - I have an Nvidia Geforce 6600LE video card in my machine.

Both options are (usually) quite easy. Option 1) $ apt-cache search nvidia module `uname -r nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-1-686 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.26-1-686 nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-1-686-bigmem - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.26-1-686-bigmem nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6.26-1-686 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (legacy version) nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6.26-1-686-bigmem - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.26-1-686-bigmem (legacy version) (just an example from my system) rattler:~$ apt-cache search nvidia module `uname -r` nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-1-686-bigmem - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.26-1-686-bigmem nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6.26-1-686 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (legacy version) nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-2.6.26-1-686-bigmem - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.26-1-686-bigmem (legacy version) nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-1-686 - NVIDIA binary kernel module for Linux 2.6.26-1-686 Then proceed to install the package you need: $ sudo aptitude install nvidia-kernel-2.6.26-1-686 Option 2) First, make sure you have either the linux-headers-* package for your kernel (if you use a precompiled kernel from Debian) or the source tree which you used to compile your own kernel. Then: $ sudo aptitude install module-assistant $ sudo m-a a-i nvidia-kernel-source All seems fine up to this point. However when I run 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, I am not given the choice of any options at all regarding video. Synaptic vs apt-get: Is there a difference in these two packages other than one is a GUI and one is CLI? If so, is one method preferred over the other? I am not sure about these differences, but the recommended package manager is aptitude (CLI and ncurses interface). J. Thanks! -- Help!

When I do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg I am not asked about any video options at all. Something I must have missed along the way. You're not missing anything. Xorg in Lenny now does a lot of automatic configuration and will usually detect the correct driver, but in this particular case it doesn't. Just make sure you have the nvidia-glx package (or nvidia-glx-legacy, depending on your chip--see the package descriptions) installed and you will need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add a line Driver nvidia I tried this. Same thing, only 640x480 resolution :-( AFAIK, I have no nv.ko nor nvidia.ko files present on the system. in the Device section. It might work without it (haven't tested myself) if you don't have the xserver-xorg-video-nv package, though I prefer to keep it installed, just in case nvidia is making trouble. Such precautions are usually not necessary on stable (which lenny is very close to).

It would probably be enough to put the H-Sync and V-Sync ranges for your monitor in xorg.conf. Haven't done this in a while so I can't give you exact details, but google should have plenty of examples. Thanks much Andrei for the idea. I have another machine running with nvidia (a newer model) just fine. I copied the relevant portions to the machine I was working on, rebooted and all is fine. Not sure why though the dpkg-reconfigure xsession-xorg didn't find and allow me to configure from there. Anyways, it's working properly now at 1280x960.
