 Not only that but as we move to IPv6 there is no such thing as NAT.


Oh, how I wish that were true... The IPv6 spec includes NAT.

 Or any posters here have VirtualBox running on lenny that can say how
 they did it?

I'd recommend installing VirtualBox from experimental -- 2.1.2 is the
latest version, as opposed to 1.6.6 available elsewhere.

RE: KMD start

2005-07-14 Thread Paul Fraser
How about... Better education? Like correcting his spelling, instead of
suggesting he just doesn't use a login manager.

You want to start kdm, not kmd. So try /etc/init.d/kdm start;

And make sure you're root.

RE: Ifconfig

2005-06-13 Thread Paul Fraser
Tried what sort of thing? What didn't work? 

Because for once I'm going to take some sympathy, instead of doing the right
thing and trying to get you to learn how to do something, I'm going to
spoon-feed you.

You want lo to come up at boot?

Edit /etc/network/interfaces, add the following lines:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

You want PPP to only connect once? Disable any on-boot scripts that are
loading it (say, ppp) by doing a 'update-rc.d -f pppd remove'. Use the
corresponding entry in /etc/network/interfaces to ONLY do it. This keeps
everything consistent, easy to manage, etc etc.

Also, maybe in future you can explain a little more how you got pppoeconf to
'set up my ifconfig'...

Cheers,

Paul.

I tried that sort of thing. It didn't work. I've tried quite a few things
and none of the worked. I really do need some one to tell me. Sorry.

Hello,
I have a linux server, the system is Debian sarge, kernel version is
2.6.7.
I want to know how to make the PS2 keyboard hotplug.

There may be confusion here -- is PS2 the hardwarey thing IBM came up
with a few years ago for making PC's, distinguishing ti from PS1?
Or is PS2 the well-known appreviation for the Sony PlayStation 2?
Both these systems can have keyboards.

I'm pretty certain he's talking about the PS/2 connector on most 
motherboards that allow you to attach a keyboard and mouse. :)

I'd guess /proc/bus/usb, by that fstab entry.

 Maybe I should get a different laptop? Is a 150 mhz machine with 2 gig
 hd and 32 meg ram going to be able to do the job? I'm worried now.
