[newbie] /etc/sysconfig/hwconf

[Rafael Haeusler]

Who writes the file /etc/sysconfig/hwconf ?
 
I put the Harddisk with Mandrake installed on into another PC and found
the
specs of the old System still in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf.
 
And how could I select the modules loaded while boottime ? Is there a
tool
like "modconf" existing like in Debian.

[newbie] Routing Problem ?

[Rafael Haeusler]

I have here a Linux-Box, which dials itself over ISDN in Internet.
Behind it further computers hang by IP Forwarding. On the dial in Box I
have only over the Proxy of the Provider access to the Web. 
A simple "ping" to external server does not work. (the IP address
however one determines by DNS still correctly.) The other computers at
the home network (which are supplied by IP forwarding) have free access
to everything in the Web. 
How could that be ? Some kind of routing problem ?

[newbie] German Umlaute with MC

[Rafael Haeusler]

Hello!

I've got the german "Umlaute" in Terminal unter Console and X. But if I
start MidnightCommander it looks like another keyboard-map! 
Haw can that be and be influenced ?
If I quit MC I got me Umlaute back.
strange thing .
