To receive mail, you need to have a domain to which people can send. And to send or relay mail, many servers are set to refuse mail from another server (like yours) to which they can't do a dns lookup and verify your server's fully qualified domain name (fqdn). One workaround for this is to register with dyndns.org or another free dns service, in which you will be given a host name like sildara.dyndns.org (that's mine). Then, if you set up your mail server to use this valid fqdn, you are good to go. I use postfix, and it was quite simple to get going. Dave, Thanks!

Eric Linux is not like DOS -- you can't just access a drive by its letter or anything like that. Instead, each drive must be mounted on your root filesystem. You can probably access the drive by mounting /dev/hdc (or maybe /dev/hdb, depending upon how the cdrom was detected). The hard drive devices are named 'hdx' (for hard drive x, where 'x' is a, b, c... in order of primacy on the IDE channel). cdrom's sometimes appear as a hard drive if they are ordinary ide drives, or will appear as scsi devices if they are cd burners. So, assuming your second hard drive is /dev/hdb, you can mount it on your root filesystem as a directory, maybe call it /ohd (for 'old hard drive'). Once it is mounted as a directory, you can access it and do whatever copying or transferring of data you need to do. Then, just unmount it and you are ready to go. The mount command might be something like this (must be done as root): mount -t ext2 /dev/hdc /ohd There are lots of other options to the mount command, 'man mount' for more info on it.

[newbie] New disk question
Hi Civilme answered a question yesterday I think it was. Currently my Linux box is on a 1.2 gig drive. Its partitioned into 2 600 meg drive.. Ok. Here is what I want to do. Take a 4 gig that I am installing Linux onto as we speak and then access my data off the old drive. Only thing I really have on the old drive is some files.. not a lot there but some. Is that doable? Or must I have both drives in the computer at the same time? Eric
[newbie] Another new problem.. :(
Hey All, Well I got my box backup and working. Now here is my other problem. I have only 7.9 megs left on /dev/hda1 which is my root my /home has over 300 megs. I have a several hundred meg hard drive sitting here that I want to install and run the programs off that. What would be easier? Taking my entire /home and moving it to the new hard drive and re-partitioning my box or what? Any tips? Ideas? Etc? Thanks a ton! Eric
[newbie] Major problem
Hi All, I hope someone might be able to help me. I had a power loss at the house today and after the linux box rebooted it wouldnt boot into KDE. IT booted into a login prompt. I was able to login as root or my user name. When I Rebooted the machine in booted into screen and asked me to enter a run level. When I tried 1 3 or 5 or 6 it would just hang. Only way I Am able to log into my box is to boot of CDROM and login using RESCUE. Well I dont have any clue how to fix my problem of not being able to boot in. I would reload Linux but I CANT loose my /HOME directory. Any tips? Suggestions? ETC?? Thank you! Happy New Year! Eric

RE: [newbie] Major problem
It seems that the updater is looking for a a bunch of free space for some strange reason and it wont just overwrite the stuff that is there.. basically my problem is this: When I boot Linux it asks me to enter a run level. When I enter a runlevel it hangs. It says no more processes or something to that affect... It used to load into KME prior to the power loss yesterday and hasn't been the same since. I have tried several things but this is I am guessing my only resort in updating it. I am running 8.1 and upgrading to 8.1 hoping that it will fix this wonderful problem.. I currently have no network access with the box cause that wont load up. I thought about the BFH but didn't have one available.. Did that help at all or is it because I haven't slept in over 24 hours that I might be rambling on?
