Hi,
To retrieve my mail I am using Fetchpop which has worked very well the past
few years. Now suddenly when I get mail from a certain person after that mail
had come in further downloading is aborted and the mail is then not cleared on
the server.
I have then to use the program poppy to dele
Hi, Richard:
I used the manufacturer's (Maxtor) partitioning software MaxBlast.
It auto-magically created four (4) 2.1 gigabyte partitions for
[MS,PC]DOS and left the rest unpartitioned. It asked for a DOS
system disk and I gave it one. DOS then recognized the four (4)
partitions.
I then bo

Here's the situation, as detailed as I can think to present it.
1. I have 2 hard drives. They look as follows:
/dev/hda / (windows partition: fat32)4GB / (linux partition: ext2)4GB /
(linux swap) 1GB/
/dev/hdb / (linux partition: ext2)5GB / (windows partition: ntfs) 15GB /
2. I can mount eve

There is no requirement that all filesystems used by a kernel be the same
type; the ability to combine ext2 and iso9660 (CD-ROM
Many thanks to Chuck and Ray for interesting replies.
I am reminded that Debian Woody uses ext2, but SuSE 8.0 uses reiserfs.
I wonder if pushed to an extreme, could one kernel work with two
(simultaneous/combined) distros, chosing the best bits of each :-)
Seriously, thanks for the though pr
I can't speak to "inadvisable", but the approach you ask about is perfectly
feasible. A common use of this sort of setup is to have a /home partition
that is common to the two distros.
It is more than you need, though. Each distro can mount the other's root
partition (and its other partitions,

Hi All,
I have been having a peculiar problem with KDE.
Whenever I reboot, the time on the control panel goes
back by four hours. (I am in the EDT zone) Could
anyone tell me why this is happening and the fix
please?

Hi, Geoff:
Yes. Although the files (filesystem(s)) are not 'transferred'.
The filesystem is 'mounted'.
Each OS must be capable of mounting the filesystem's type:
second extended, reiserfs, third extended, minix, fat, vfat,
...whatever.
I get the impression that each of the two distributions
I have a dual-boot Linux system. Debian 3.0 (Woody), and SuSE 8.0 (Prof).,
on separate drives sharing a common machine (Pentium III at 600 MHz).
Both work well, and I am enjoying learning the differences between them,

them as separate alternatives.
