I've noticed a fair bit of traffic on this general topic, so hopefully the
answer to this springs right to mind..
I've a debian potato install that was recently upgraded to use the 2.4.x kernel
line. I essentially upgraded
Debian itself and my Ximian desktop at the same time, using the "bunk" pa
With the price of RAM being what it is, I recently upgraded my potato box to by
512MB ram.
So I now have roughly 640MB RAM with a 256MB swapfile.
Now that I have this much physical memory I was wondering if I could drop
the swapfile altogether and reclaim some HD space for filesystem use.

Didn't realize it was an "environment" var - Oops! never mind.
Thanks!

According to the PREINSTALL readme, all distro's should be
able to run it though only a few specific ones are auto configured

But then it says that "A bug in some ve

I'm trying to configure my potato box such that any user can mount/unmount the

mean any user who also exists on that NT box. Keep in mind that I'm not trying

Hello again.
Just wondering if there is a standard way to store the cvs constants (e.g.
CVS_RSH) such that terminals automagically "see" them when opened. I'm using
one of three terms with eterm as my favorite, so the solution would hopefully
be a one-step which would be used by all (the termina
Well this sounds like an opportunity knocking, how about that "new" ogg-vorbiss
format? This would be a great chance to avoid those mp3 royalties and I doubt
it would take much to write a plug-in for something like winamp or whatever.
Maybe even make the plugin available at the broadcaster's sit

Hi.
It seems that I've finally managed to get X 4.03 onto my Debian potato box (ie:
all the links/files/directories appear to be present and correct); but
configuration must still be wrong.
After the install was completed I initially ran "xf86config" but have also
tried "xf86cfg" and "X --conf
Hello again..
After two weeks of trying to upgrade from X 3.3 to X 4.x I've finally reached
my patience limit. Despite a fair bit of help and advice from a number of list
members (thanks everyone!) I've been unable to successfully achieve my goal.
I figure one last shot and then I'll move to woo
Don't know if it's relevant or not but I notice that your dmegs ouput has no
indication that parport0 has been "assigned" an address, nor that it has been
"assigned" to lp0 (usual I believe).
Are you able to cat raw data to parport0 ?

Let me throw my $0.02 cents in.
Rather than using whitespace to delineate those elements, for the little extra
effort involved in coding it might be worthwhile to use some non-standard (for
ascii that it) characters. That way you could do some consistency/error/

I'm running an install of potato that I want to upgrade to the 4.0 version of
