Re: zip drive problems...

Don't know why, but I have several zip disks, some where the PD uabale partition is /dev/sda1 and others where it is /dev/sda4. Maybe it PD has something to do with whether you formatted the zipdisks using Linux or PD Windows? factory zip disks come out with extended partition except primary, the reason for this is probably the fact that iomega people didn't wanted the zip to force it self to be second primary partition, which is not much of a problem on linux since it uses root tree filesystem. But in windows and other dos-like filesystems this can be a big problem, for example, let's say that you have 20gb drive, split in 2 partitions that normally show as C and D, on primary ide as a master, and ide zip drive as secondary slave. if you have old machine that doesn't have bios support for ide zip drives, you will be fine since you have to use windows or dos driver to get the machine to see the zip drive. now 2 things can happend if you have machine that has bios which supports zip drives: 1. you leave the zip disk with primary partition in the drive over reboot, your second hard drive partition D will be pushed to E and the zip drive will become D. at this point any windows program that has been installed on your extended hdd partition will quit working because the drive letters changed. 2. you leave zip disk with extended partition in the drive over reboot, because of the fact that the zip drive is plugged in as secondary slave, its extended partition will be the last partition in drive list, thus not pushing any other drive letters around. here is a table how dos/bios normally sorts the partitions: 1st ide master primary 1st ide slave primary 2nd ide master primary 2nd ide slave primary 1st ide master 1st extended . 1st ide master Xth extended 1st ide slave 1st extended . 1st ide slave Xth extended 2nd ide master 1st extended . 2nd ide master Xth extended 2nd ide slave 1st extended . 2nd ide slave Xth extended so the actual problem isn't which system had formatted the disk, but how the disk it self has been partitioned.

this can be done with any mailing list as long the list has atleast one part of

Uz That way you can just autmatically reply to the list and not have to

about 2 years back i was wondering why there is no [debian-user] or something

now i wouldn't have it any other way, some ppl add that to their subject them

hey list, i'm trying to write interface between ncurses and sockets for server side split screen. my problem is that the mud has only socket descriptor to send and receive all the data from each of the players, but ncurses require two FILE descriptors to work properly. i tried various [dirty] hacks to make it work, short of using temporary file for the output, and then sending the contents of the file to the players. i'm sure that there is someone else who hit the same problem at some point, and that there some ellegant solution for this. so i would greatly appreciate any help/example that you may have. :) Dingo. ).|.( '.'___'.'

If you don't like the results, or want the features of samba 2.2, you can always upgrade later to unstable .. And when you have everything polished up to your satisfaction you just switch servers and make the current nt machine backup server or make another workstation out of it .. You could also look in software/hardware raid if your company moves alot of data around .. i run software raid5 with 3 1gb drives, just for the fun of it, and even though it eats cpu little more, i hit the network throughput limit before the cpu usage [due to raid/samba combo] reaches a 'unreasonable' level.

We have no problems with IPX, or IP TCP/IP on any of the machines. IP IP I was just wonderring if anyone has had a problem similar and was there a IP quick solution to finding the problem rather than taking the 100+ network IP down and thoroughly testing it. I had the same problem with my machines, what i think was happening, that the windows machines were fightning who is going to be the domain master, i fixed that with turning it off on all the windows machines in network properties and then set this in /etc/samba/smb.conf: domain master = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes also i set 'os level = 255', from what i heard, no windows [any version] has higher priority on smb so the samba easily beat all of them. Since then the local network is like a flash, the only 'disadvantage' is that the linux machine has to be up if any of the windows machines need to use the smb, as it is the domain master and all the other machines are prevented from becoming one even when the linux samba machine is down.

FE 12. stare at I9990305 again. FE FE does anyone have any suggestions short of never install install windows FE _after_ installing linux? either add 'install=/boot/boot.b' line in /etc/lilo.conf and rerun lilo, or run /sbin/install-mbr and then rerun lilo, then reboot, and as long the win 98 is on 1st primary partition and linux on 2nd primary partition, or extended partition, you will not have problem. I used to ran dual boot with windows 98 like that when the MB in my windows machine decided to quit, though i had windows on entirely separate drive [secondary ide master drive] and had this in lilo.conf: disk=/dev/hda bios=0x80 disk=/dev/hdb bios=0x81 disk=/dev/hdc bios=0x82 disk=/dev/hdd bios=0x83 other=/dev/hdc1 label=win table=/dev/hdc map-drive=0x80 to=0x82 map-drive=0x82 to=0x80 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5 label=linux what it does is it swaps hda and hdc before it attempts to boot the windows, that way i didn't have to worry about anything. if you have linux partition as the primary partition on the begining of the drive you could use partition magic 6 or some free equivalent of it to move it to the back of the drive and then create another primary partition for the windows at the begining. Then install windows 98, reboot the machine with the debian rescue disk, and run install-mbr and lilo, don't forget to add the windows boot in the lilo.conf.

You could check the TERM variable and if it has something like 'xterm-16color'
then you set your prompt, if it has 'linux' in it, then you are in console, you
can check this in .bashrc or .cshrc or whatever is your favourite shell's
