Hi All,
Following on from my problem with a HP Colorado IDE tape drive, I have found the
following message in the 'dmesg' output.
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
Vendor: HPModel: COLORADO 14GB Rev: 4.01
Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI r
Just a quick easy question (if you know the answer) ?
What is PUB_IN when you do a:
iptables -v -L INPUT
I am worried by the line:
PUB_IN all -- ppp+ any anywhere anywhere
What does this line mean, open ppp+ to anyone!!! from anywhere?
TIA
Dave

I currently have a Celeron 466 single CPU (256Mb Ram) box running Mandrake 8,

I have the option of gettting hold of another Celeron 466 chip.
Does it seem cost effective to buy a dual motherboard and install this in my
system?
or,
Would the benifits be meagre?

For example...trying to install the RPM for Wine. I have downloaded the

Hi All,
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what would stop xhost allowing
incoming connections for other xserver on the same network.
I do a xhost + 192.168.0.10 on the machine I am sitting at. (192.168.0.1)
I then telnet to the 192.168.0.10 and in the csh, run setenv DISPLAY

Hi All,
I am using a HP Colorado 14Gig tape drive unit for backup. I do not want
bells or whistles on backup progs, so I am writing a simple perl script to
run backup for me.
However, if I have a system crash, hard drive or similar, and are prepared to
