Re: Getting X running on a Dell Latitude LM

[Michael Schmidt]

I have a Latitude CPi with the NeoMagic 2160 chipset which did not run under 
4.0.2, but I am currently using 4.0.3 with no problems. I don't know if the 
fix you mention is specifically for the 2070 chipset, if not I would try 
4.0.3.

Sorry, I don't know about the 4.1.0.

I found it works best to a minimum install from CD and then use dselect to 
update the system and install the latest version of X.

Re: Mount windows drive within another machine (network)

[Michael Schmidt]

This can be done using mount. I am not sure how secure this is. It doesn't 
seem very secure since the username and password are listed, maybe there is a 
better way.

mount -t smbfs -o 
username=REMOTE_USERNAME,password=REMOTE_PASSWORD,uid=LOCAL_USERNAME,gid=LOCAL_GROUP,
 
workgroup=WINDOWS_WORKGROUP //REMOTE_COMPUTER_NAME/SHARE /mnt/d

Re: do you know any free proxy server?

[Michael Schmidt]

Go to www.DeleGate.org

I am sure there are better proxies if you want to install on Linux, but this 
supports both Linux and Windows. 

Personally I am using it on my wife's Windows computer which is connected to 
the Internet. It is providing access to my Linux laptop.

ifconfig

Hi,

I used a PCMCIA ethernet adaptor when I intalled Debian and my network worked 
after installation. 

Now I have switched to using the ethernet adaptor in my docking station. I 
have added the correct module to aliases and run update-modules, but where 
should I place the following line which configures my network so it is done 
at bootup

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

Currently I am running this as root each time I reboot the laptop. I am sure 
I can find somewhere to put this, but I would like to put it in the "correct" 
location.

Thanks for any help,

mike

Bingo. It works with LANG unset. Thanks a lot.

Hi fellow debian users (:-),

Netscape 4.5PR1 (glibc version) gives strange errors for the
XmTextFields:

Warning:
Name: Text
Class: XmTextField
Character 'h', not supported in font. Discarded.

And then for t and t and p etc. and the URL field comes up 
empty. I can input something there and the chars appear (even in the
desired font). I thought anybody here might have a clue.
