I find I no longer have a network connection, but can get it back by typing:

Hi,
I would like to download photos off of my digital camera in such a way
that they are sorted into directories by date. So a photo taken on
Feb 23,2006 would be put in a directory 2006/02/23/filename. The
camera will often have photos taken on different dates, and I'd like
the directories to b

Aha, sure enough, only rc0.d and rc6.d have a file

I assume I can fix this by typing

Someone please let me know if it would be a mistake to do so. Also, I
noticed that there were several other files missing besides inetd,

Pigeon,
Is there a command one can type to determine what type of chipset or
motherboard I have? I tried looking at dmesg and didn't see anything
useful. The machine is an old pentium II Dell that looks to have (from
dmesg) a 447 MHz CPU with bus speed of 99.4 MHz.
Thanks,

On Fri, Jan 31,
I have a matrox G550 video card, and have XFree86 version 4.2.1. I have
a Dell monitor that accepts analog and digital input. Everything works
fine with analog input, but I was wondering how to use the digital
input. I first tried installing matrox's powerdesk software, which is
supposed to allo
Hi,
I ran eximconfig and created a new /etc/exim/exim.conf file. With this things are
working, in that mail is not handled twice by exim, and there is no long delay

think that I should have run eximconfig then. I'm s
Hi,
I looked carefully and noticed that I have both a /etc/exim.conf~ and a
/etc/exim/exim.conf. In the first file (conf~) I had the lines:

local_domains = localhost:otte
which probably says my localhost is otte, instead of otte.ucsc.edu. It

Right now my .xsession file has one line in it:
exec wmaker&
Do I need more than that? I have another linux machine (running xdm and
not gdm) that doesn't have much more than that, and it works fine.
I've found it doesn't make any difference if I remove the '&' or not;
I've tried it both ways.
