before carrying on *sheepish grin* :)

I rebooted my box today to clear out a kernel module that got itself
stuck somehow and wouldn't unload. When the machine came back up the
screen went blank upon SVGATextMode running.
I logged in remotely and messed with it for a bit, to no avail. My last
ditch solution was to purge svgatextmode an

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with a new machine I'm setting up. I've set up
XFree, and for some reason, the mouse pointer doesn't appear. I know
its working because I can click on stuff, select, do all the normal
mouse things, but I just can't see the pointer.

Here at Monash University in Australia, we use both Solaris and Linux. Solaris
is used for most mission critical services, but most of the time we use it
because we need the grunty Sun hardware that it comes with it.
Linux is being used more and more within the IT department. We've found it

You need to link against the math library, libm, eg.

You're looking at XHTML - HTML redefined in XML. In XML all tags must have

You certainly can. Enable the 'host-only networking option' of vmware,
which will create an interface called 'vmnet1'. Give this an IP address like

Hi all,
I've been setting up a ppp-over-null-modem connection for a friend's Palm, and
its working great, except for one point.
I've created a user called 'palm', with shell /etc/ppp/ppplogin which looks like
this:
#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/pppd nodetach passive local n
Hello,
Which package contains the Apache module auth_ldap? apache-common has the
documentation for it, but I can't find the actual module. If it's not anywhere,
why not?

It depends on the window manager you're using. In KDE, its as simple as
right-clicking the desktop, and selecting 'New->Application'. GNOME has a
similar feature, I beleive.
Hi all
I will shortly be taking a two week vacation, and sadly, I have to leave my
trusty box behind *schniff* .. It has to stay running, however, because a
local user group relies on it for mail and web serving. There is no one else
who will have access to the machine, so I need to ensure that it

I'm guessing you mean xdm. If your system is like mine, you'll have a file
/etc/X11/config. In their will be a line 'start-xdm' which you should
replace with 'no-start-xdm'.
