Re: [newbie] Kmail question

[Lin Kenham]

Hi Jim and all,
All config files that are particular to a user are in the users /home
directory, or for root are in /root. I always backup /root /home as well as
/usr/local - which is where I add my scripts or progs I have found.
I also backup /etc/fstab, ..*.conf, ...conf.*  config.* and 
*.config.
Hope this helps.

Lin

Re: [newbie] Zip Drive question

[Lin Kenham]

Hi,
I have found that the device for ZIP 100 is /dev/sda1 for an ext2 f/s and
/dev/sda4 for a DOS or VFAT f/s on the ZipDisk. I hope this helps
Cheers,
Lin

OK---this is my second post so I hope this isn't a stupid

Will my External Parallel 100 mb Zip Drive work with LInux Mandrake 7.2?
Ps: I did finally get the settings right on my USR 33.6 modem(didn't
have
a manual...tinkered with it till I got it right.)

It is not a stupid question. You're stupid when you don't ask!
And yes, the zip will work. You have to find the proper modprobe command
for
it on boot.

1.Turn on the drive and insert a disk.

2.Type modprobe ppa or modprobe imm. This will load the module.

3.Try to mount the drive as 'root':
  mount /dev/sd[x]4 -t vfat /mnt/disk

4.If mount doesn't complain, you've got it.

(from http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/hardware/hremov2.html )

Then stick the modprobe in /etc/rc.d/rc.local and you're done (this will
require the drive up and loaded though). If you want, you can create a
script
for that, to run when you need the drive.

[newbie] PartImage - Very useful for O/S Fiddlers

[Lin Kenham]

Hi everyone.
As one who enjoys messing with Linux, I dont risk my system by fiddling
with major updates or reconfiguring. Instead I have 3 different systems,
Caldera, Mandrake 7.2 and now Mandrake 8.0.
So it doesnt matter if I destroy one. What we need is a quick way of
restoring them.
I have just got PartImage on a Mag disk and it is brilliant. Using it to
make an image of a Partition, and them burning a CD with that image gives a
quick way. I have just deliberately deleted my Man 8.0 partition, so I could
restore it, which took about 3 minutes.
It is better than Nero in that it ignores unused space, and compresses.
Get it from ,http://www.partimage.org/
