I have a machine with three fixed disks:
hda = Windows XP (40 gb)
hdb = (see below) (60 gb)
hdc = ext2 partition for data storage (30 gb)
hdb is the disk I'm having serious problems with. Before, the disk had several
partitions on it. I am not sure how many primary or secondary partitions there

I am looking for a good, feature full video conversion package that will allow for conversion between various video formats, containers, audio formats, etc., in the associated video file. Is there a package that can be installed under Debian with all the associated dependencies? Any ideas?

I am using GRUB bootloader to load various OSes on a machine. The machine is set to boot from hdb. For some reason anytime I want to boot Windoze (loaded on hda1) I get garbled text and the machine locks up. I figure there is a flaw in the menu.lst syntax for the WinXP entry. Can someone take a

I recently installed Debian on an old Dell Latitude XPi. Because of limitations of the system, I had to forego booting from CD and instead create boot and driver diskettes on floppy and load a netstat CD to get the base install done. I installed a minimal set of packages including kde-base,
Anyway, every time I boot up from GRUB, it goes straight to the login prompt, and once you login, you're left at the command line. I am used to the autoboot sequence where it goes directly to the GUI login screen and you just load KDE or Gnome or whatever environment you want. In this case, I am

It came with Win 98, which I removed and replaced with
XP. However, the machine has these specs:

and the HDD was too small to install SP2 onto the
machine. As a result, I am convinced that Linux is the

the manual package selection).

OK, the lazy unmount via 'umount -l' worked. I was
able to unmount and re-mount two different discs. No
problems reported. I take it this is something that
should not be done under normal circumstances? Is
there any issue with using lazy unmount (I assume it's
called lazy for a reason)?
I was attempting to work with the repository list in

I have been using Debian for about 2 months now after having used Mandrakelinux 10.1 for a much longer time. In Mandrake, the DVD/CD-writer will automount and auto-unmount whenever you insert or eject DVD/CD media. It has other issues, however.
