It seems like all the PCI modems are winmodems? I wonder why... Well, I'm off to buy an ISA modem, any suggestions?

I shall probably submit something on the configuration of the sound, but I am yet to try by myself and see whether I can get the beast to work. I get absolutely no sound from any audio CD. Have you tried the sndconfig program? To mount the floppy: mount -t FS /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy where FS is ext2 or fat (I suppose), depending on the filesystem you have on the floppy disk. Of course you have to be root to do that. If you want to be able to mount the disk as a normal user, you have to add the following line to your /etc/fstab: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppyautosync,user,noauto,nosuid,nodev,unhide,rw 0 0 In my computer it seems to work perfectly, recognizing the filesystem you have on the disk. Then, to mount the disk, you only have to digit: mount /mnt/floppy For the cdrom it is just the same. Add the following line in /etc/fstab: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdromauto user,noauto,nosuid,exec,nodev,ro 0 0 and then give the command: mount /mnt/cdrom If you use msdos floppies, probably the best thing for you is to use the mtools: mcopy, mdir, etc If you experience problems with auto configuration of filesystems, let me know. ;-) -- Aequam memento rebus in arduis servare mentem...

[newbie] Netscape mail/news host unknown
I finally got ppp working but now I can't get Netscape's email program to work. I can browse the net with it though. When I enter my mail server in the incoming and outcoming server fields it says "Host unknown". This is strange since I can enter the servers in Kmail and it works fine. It's the same for my news server too. I can't use the netscape reader because of this.

When you mount your FAT32 partition you have to use the option noexec of the mount command. See man mount for more information. If you mount the partition using an entry in /etc/fstab, then you have to add the noexec option in the 4th field of the entry.

What do you mean by "they're treated like executables"? Are you able to install them? It's possible that the permissions on the files are being munged because you're putting them on a FAT32 partition that has no idea about file permissions or ownership. I've noticed that when using my FAT32 partition under Linux all files are listed as executable. I doubt that it's going to cause a problem for you, since even if you ATTEMPTED to execute them nothing would happen. If it bothers you, simply chmod them to be non-executable (chmod -x filename) and you're all set. -- Steve Philp "Oh Lord, I go for penguins.

Are you downloading files as SOURCE or TEXT? I know Netscape Communicator gives you the option, I forget if kfm does.

[newbie] sendmail genericstable NOT working
Hi all, I have Mandrake 5.3 with sendmail-8.8.7-20 installed. I want my From: headers changed, when the email is going out to the internet. localuser1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] As much as I know the genericstable feature is used for this. So I just used the redhat.mc file and added some lines concerning the genericstable and created a sendmail.cf with m4. I used makemap to create a hashed version of the genericstable. Unfortunatly this does NOT work. I have no idea why. That's the .mc file used: divert(-1) include(`/usr/lib/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4') define(`confDEF_USER_ID',``8:12'') define(`SMART_HOST',`provider's smtp server') added OSTYPE(`linux') undefine(`UUCP_RELAY') undefine(`BITNET_RELAY') FEATURE(masquerade_envelope) added FEATURE(genericstable, `hash -o /etc/genericstable') added GENERICS_DOMAIN_FILE(`/etc/mail/genericsdomain') added FEATURE(redirect) FEATURE(always_add_domain) FEATURE(use_cw_file) FEATURE(local_procmail) MAILER(procmail) MAILER(local) added MAILER(smtp) HACK(check_mail3,`hash -a@JUNK /etc/mail/deny') HACK(use_ip,`/etc/mail/ip_allow') HACK(use_names,`/etc/mail/name_allow') HACK(use_relayto,`/etc/mail/relay_allow') HACK(check_rcpt4) HACK(check_relay3) With all this the From: headers are not changed by sendmail. The same settings worked with RedHat 4.2. So I tried to start sendmail with -d option. The output seems O.K., but the last lines say something like this: rewrite: ruleset4input: root rewrite: ruleset4 returns: root root... Recipient names must be specified What does the last line mean? Do I have to specify something? Waht can I do? Please HELP. I can send the output of sendmail -d, too. Thanx in advance Jacek
