What is a Download manager? I wasn't aware that downloading files was complex. FTP is pretty much a universal standard and there are plenty of Linux/Unix clients. Can you be more specific about what special features a Download manager provides? -Original Message- From: Michael H.

You can definitely do it. Check the man page. I think you have to add "-p filename" in addition to the "-ql". I'm not sure that "p" is the right option though. -Original Message- From: Daniel Woods [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2000 03:54 PM To: Expert Linux

[expert] Sites for FTP/HTTP install (for UltraSparc)

2000-08-09 Thread Carver, Paul, NLSOP
I posted a question to the list recently about not being able to install LM7 on an Ultra Enterprise 1 because part way into the install it tries to mount the CD from /dev/scd0 instead of /dev/sdb where it really is. I haven't been able to find any way around this problem, so apparently I can't

Well, for myself it was on a PC not a Sparc, but it looks like your symptoms are the same: look above, it says "detected scsi disk ...". Also, /dev/sdb is specifically for _hard disk_ in linux, _not_ for CD-ROM. The boot messages definitely showed sdb being detected as a Toshiba CD-ROM.

RE: [expert] Root Password problem

I have 2 machines running Mandrake 7.0, one of which refuses to allow a login as root. Any password, even the correct one, is "Incorrect". You have to log in as a user, then su to root. This woks reliably. The machine in question is an AMD
