Re: help -- UDMA install....

2000-01-18 Thread Paul McAvoy
A couple of things I would try also: 1) examine the motherboard to find out what type of UDMA support it has. I have an Asus MB with UDMA support but it only does UDMA-33. I also have a quantum 13gig UDMA-66 drive. I was having some problems with it, and went to the quantum website. I found

Package dependency issues

Re: samba copy permissions

2000-01-13 Thread Paul McAvoy
If you are copying between two unix machines it might be easier to just use NFS to mount the drives and copy the files over via cpio or something similar. I think that since samba is based in windos without much in the way of permissions, all the permissions get lost. I personally run into

Hi, another question for anyone out there who might know where I can get an answer. I am using potato, and have built and installed qmail here on my machine. My problem is that whenever a package requires a mail support (ie: sendmail, exim etc.) I run into problems. Is there a way for me to set
