Re: [ilugd] Ubuntu Freezing on Boot
There is a boot parameter which is used as resume=swap partition used to resume sessions. Remove that from your grub/lilo config and that should atleast get rid of the first problem.

Re: [ilugd] Broadband Connection
Hi All, My MTNL broadband connection was finally setup a few days ago and I'm getting great throughput on it (downloaded fiesty over the net - I love this :)). Just a warning though. Apparently the MTNL people have run out of ports and there are about 70k pending broadband applications in Delhi. If you're going to apply for a broadband connection, avoid MTNL. You might not get it for several weeks despite their promises. I got my own connection after about 60 phone calls to the local area manager and threats of consumer court to the GM. Might not work everytime. Parijat On 7/6/07, Vikram Ranade [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Just do the wifi thing yourself.
