Hi List,
to start with, it's not a vital problem, I only want to fix sth
annoying me.
As quite a number among you, I'm running a LAN connected to
the big world via switched ADSL.
I'm looking for a MTA that is capable of rewriting addresses
*only* on mails that leave the LAN.
In general I'm usin

Just my humble guesswork: the same reasons as to why have /home on a
separate partition. /usr/local is the 'home' of custom software. ;-)

Agreed. I want
I have a problem with the new linux-image (2.6.26-2-686) provided as an
update to Lenny. I have no problem with booting from the old image
(2.6.26-1-686).
The boot fails with messages:
Gave up waiting for root device.
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-label/D5root does not exist.

No, was going to do so later, after getting the system up and running.
It should be using the nv drivers, of course.
Thanks for the help.

Hello,
I have a hard disk broken, it doesnt boot and if i put it as a slave gives
me a lot of errors. It has several partitions (ext3, fat32 ntfs) i'd like to
recovery some data from it. Someone knows how can I do it?
Thanks
14e4:4315 , hehe,
you can use broadcom-sta-modules to make it work
or you can use ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 and compile ndiswrapper-source
for your kernel, and then use the driver for windows.
just google nidswrapper to see how to use it. have fun ;)
