Hi David,
The drakautoinst method I'm imagining would avoid all the issues and (most
of the) complications involved with using urpmi (or apt-get or similiar
program) to upgrade an installation. In terms of package management the
method would simply record which packages you had installed before
This is sort of tangential to the EOL discussion but...
Is it possible to use drakautoinst to automate an effectively upgrade a
machine from one release to another? Rather than try to use the upgrade
option which so rarely succeeds it seems like it wouldn't necessarily be
hard to automate the

Hi Mark,
re: Dolby Digital support on nForce boards. I have an Abit NV7-133R board.
The Nvidia audio driver (nvaudio) is apparently the i810 sound driver

While the connection is OK, try arp -a (don't know the W2K equiv.)
and make sure the other host is in the table; when it fails,
recheck... if the other host's MAC is still there (both ends), then
the network is likely at fault. Could be a VLAN misconfiguration...
Okay, so from

Hi James,
Had this problem about 2 years ago with an ALL FreeBSD/Win98 network.

Hi Michele,
I have this problem too and it's due (in my case) to the lan hardware
(Alcatel OmniSwitch/Router).
If the Linux box (all versions MDK and RH) doesn't make any traffic the
switch will not know the linux IP address so the Linux box won't be
assigned to any VLAN, consequently it

I'm not 'guru' or 'core-unix/hardware' so I may be wrong... anyway, I
