Moving to Sylpheed from PMMail
Well it seems the promised Linux version of PMMAil is pretty much a piece of Vaporware so I'm looking to transfer some of my old PMMail folders to Sylpheed. PMMail uses directories and a somewhat strange way of tagging msg's as individual files. I understand that Sylpheed is similar but the files are numbered in order.

Hi, Ok, if I am reading your right, you now have /dev/hda7 mounted on /home. If you try to unmount /home the system reports it as busy. Are you logged in as anything else but root?

USB-Storage issue
Ok, SO I spoke to soon. It appears my lockup problem was being caused by the USB device itself. Sorry for the bandwidth. I have both modules installed now and no problem.

Samba shared Printers
Hi Guys, I figure this is a simple issue and someone will point out the ridiculously simple error I am committing here. I am setting up a Samba server at a customers location. I have got the simple share level file sharing working quite well. My problem is with printing. There are 2 printers, one connected via the parallel port to the server machine itself (a HP laserjet 4+), the other is a network printer (LPD, a HP LJ 4100N, factory internal server). Both printers are spooled with LPRng and work fine off the system, even when logged in as the Samba default user, nobody. When a Win9x box browses the server, the shared directories are all there and visible, and seem to work correctly. The printer are browsable too, but when an attempt is made to print to one, the Win9x box reports a Network Name not found error. The system is a P3-500, 128M Ram, Slackware 8.1, stock bare.i kernel (for now), Samba 2.2.4 binary package that came with Slack 8.1. Ideas, suggestions, requests for further information? I don't have the smb.conf file in digital form but I do have the full report from testparm in hardcopy, it reports no errors BTW., so I can provide some answers to those sorts of inquiries. stayler ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
Re: Slackware 8.1

Slackware 8.1
Hi Guys, I know that some of you have been down this road so I am curious what you may've done to do so. How did you get this thing installed? The boot and root disks require syslinux and nasm to be created, the iso is not even bootable, from any source I've been able to find. What is the deal with everything changing with this distro? Is this a trend or is it a slack only phenomena? I see alot of posting on the web with others who are having similar difficulties. I'm not really whining, I am wondering why/if the rule book has been rewritten? stayler ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
