I don't use abcde (but it has a really cool name!) however, from the error message you listed, my guess is that they're not a registered CDDB user. There's apparently some very unfavorable terms that Gracenote/CDDB forces software writers to adhere to if they're going to use the cddb. You can

adding second SCSI card of same type -- any problems?

I'm going to be adding a second SCSI card in my server today -- they're both Adaptec 2940UW. Is there anything special I need to do to get the second one recognized or should it simply show up on boot? (the kernel obviously already has support for this card compiled in) This is the first time

I'm fairly new to linux in general and am confused about all the different login scripts. I would like to have a single ssh command started when I login, be it to the console or to KDE. If I put the command in .bash_profile, KDE doesn't execute it. If I put it in .xinitrc, then bash won't exe

Do you have a link to /etc/init.d/exim in your default runlevel directory? (probably rc2) Check /etc/rc2.d and see if there's a symlink in there called: Sexim. On my computer, it's S20exim. That should point to ../init.d/exim which should then start exim whenever you switch to that runleve

AFAIK, you can't run a single crontab entry more than once per minute. In fact, cron only scans crontab once per minute, so I doubt very much that you can get per-second control over cron scheduling. --kurt On Sunday 21 October 2001 13:10, Theo Wribe wrote: > How do I create a crontab that run

Have you tried using dselect and/or dpkg and/or apt-get instead of compiling things manually? Those will handle dependencies for you so if you don't have the correct lib file, it will download it automatically for you. Much, much easier than trying to compile everything yourself from source.
