I can't find it on the cds, nor does rpmfind.net know anything given 'dialer' as search string. I'm a bit apprehensive as 'Internet' has nothing to do with placing a simple phone call.

Re: [newbie] ADSL Setup with Mandrake 8.1
Hi, I've got the same modem as you but the routing is set up correctly. I used drakconf to configure my setup. I see in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts that ifup sets the default route and ifup-ppp deletes any existing route prior to that. It's quite complicated. I'm also planning of setting up a fw using fwbuilder as a front-end. Do you think it is possible to define the external interface in our case since the address we have is not fixed and the interface, ppp0, dissappears from time to time. I haven't looked into it I must admit but if you have any experience... Guy.

Re: [newbie] is there an easier way to install Gnone update?

[newbie] Postfix delivers mail for root to nobody, why?
Hi all, I've got a Md8.1 setup with postfix (I used sendmail before) and discovered I never had mail as root. On doing some research I found the file /var/spool/mail/nobody containing all my root mail from the beginning (cron job results). I searched for a .forward file without luck. I moved the file nobody elsewhere and re-tested mail to root. The file nobody was re-created. How can I rectify this situation and make root's mail land in a file called root like it ought to? Strange also that root's mail went to nobody before I even started postfix! Also, I always read postfix is so easy to configure; is there a gui that comes with it? See ya, Guy.

[newbie] Compressed kernel modules, how?
Hi all, I recently re-compiled my kernel. After the exercise I had all my modules there but not like the modules as supplied by Mandrake which are all gzipped. What is the make directive that does this or is this done afterwards? I used the classic 'make modules & make modules_install' which leaves the modules uncompressed. A good advise to those who want to compile: do a 'make mrproper' as 1st step when using the Mandrake packaged kernel sources cause otherwise you get the strangest errors. Guy.

Re: [newbie] A sound question!
Hi Mark, Well, if devfsd would have worked properly the devices would have been created dynamically. You should disable the devfsd alltogether as it fucks up in every way. You do this by taking out the devfsd mention from your lilo.conf file. After editing run 'lilo' off course. Then reboot. If you use cmd MAKEDEV you can re-create the missing devices. I have scsi & ide buses and devfsd fucked up big time for me too. Guy.
