Question about module loading from floppy
Hello, I have to start a machine with rescue CD because lilo is broken. (I probably just have to run /sbin/lilo as root to correct this) The problem is that booting with rescue root=/dev/sda1 won't work because my drive is a RAID-5 and I need to load an extra-module to make it work. I have this module on floppy, however. How can I tell Debian to load the module from /dev/fd0 before trying to mount root FS ? Thanks for any help ! -- Marc

Re: xcdroast

But cdrecord runs perfectly well on command line with my 2.6 and without scsi emulation. XcdRoast doesn't, thought ! It claims for scsi emulation ! This problem is mentioned on their web site. What's the problem in that case ? Refering other answers, i'm still using an old 2.6.5. Not taken the time yet to upgrade to 2.6.10. -- Marc Demlenne GPG : 768FA483 (http://pgp.mit.edu) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: xcdroast
> I'm using the Kernel 2.6.8 > I do not have SCSI emulation configured for this because I was under the > impression that it was no longer required for the 2.6 kernel. Hi, Got the same problem. When recompiling my 2.6 for the first time, i switched off SCSI emulation as it's said not to be needed any more. But xcdroast still _does_ need SCSI emulation. If you take a look on their site, you'll see : "I had several reports that the last 2.6.x kernel broke CD-Writing using the ATAPI driver. Don't update if you want to continue to use X-CD-Roast, or switch back to SCSI-emulation." So there's no other solution ! You still use scsi emulation, even with 2.6, or yuou take smthg else to burn your CD. By the way, i post another question... What's the best way to burn CD's under Linux ? xcdroast used to be a must, but doesn't seem to be well maintained any more, does it ? Maybe it's still a must anyway ? Another way to burn is to do this manually, on console line. Not the easiest way, but a reliable one ! You can take a look at CD-Burning howto, it's not so difficult ! Good luck ! -- Marc Demlenne GPG : 768FA483 (http://pgp.mit.edu) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Does someone know where one could find it ? Thanks -- Marc

Re: Package to block random SSH login attempts?
You can also propose to everyone who want to verify the integrity of its system to check that himself. A script like chkrootkit which search for the signature of a past ssh (or other) attack. A simple reference in the doc of ssh could alarm lots of people. cron ta run it periodically, and don't bother to find a contact address. On Thu, 23 Dec 2004 13:31:27 -0800, Karsten M.

Printing filter
Hi, [Not sure to be on the right list. You can redirect me if i'm not] I have an old app running on SCO unix. It uses an old dot matrix printer, speaking epson language with it. Now i have to change the printer by an HP laser one witch doesn't support epson emulation at all, unhappily. I use a CUPS print server on a linux/debian box to reach it. I'm searching a filter to convert ESC/P language to PCL or PS one. But haven't find it so long. Adding the correct 'if' line in printcap file could solve the problem ... Could anybody help me ? Thanks a lot -- Marc Demlenne GPG : 768FA483 (http://pgp.mit.edu) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
