Re: [gentoo-user] dma on harddrive?!
Your proglem is that your hard drive doesn't keeps settings from one reboot and the other. Sometimes this can be forced useng -k1 in hdparm options but it doesn't works on every hard disk. DMA is a faster access mode to hard disk and is foundamental but you can live with the fact that on every boot your system checks the file system not at full speed, few lines after it will turn dma on and you can live happy. Please post something about your hard disk and possibly mainboard. Bye Gëzim Hoxha wrote: >I tried looking for ide channels in the BIOS but I >found not such things!! > >--- "Brett I.

You're right about plug madness, I'm back from a long trip to Amsterdam, Copenaghen, Stockholm, Helsinki ... and I found my plug converter very useful. About hotspots I'm not very usefull because of my GPRS internal modem which works perfectly all around europe at a reasonable speed. In italy it's quite rare to find free hotspots but you can find some internet cafè in major cities. When you are in Verona I'll give you some of our 2Mbit for free (only to gentoo people of course). All this because here you can join one of many internet providers for free and pay just the phone call so internet cafè is not a business anymore and, you know, italian people doesn't consider a lot all the services young people travelling have.

Re: [gentoo-user] The modem device on a DELL 8200 laptop
Used it a lot before GPRS PCMCIA card come to my slot... simply emerge net-dialup/hsflinmodem, possibly last masked version and after a hsfconfig -a (configure automatically everything) hsconfig -c ITALY (to localize your telephone lines) and hsfconfig -s at each boot (i put it in /etc/conf.d/local.start) and you have a /dev/ttySHSF0 (strange device) Just one annotation, I was not able to start the connection with pppd and then start X11, all crashed, but everything goes fine when the connection is started from inside X11... strange thing...
