The only reason you'd want to separate out /home is a) if your root

That's actually a good question. My thought would be that as the
partitions are all formatted you shouldn't need to re-format any of
them, including /. The problem would be that anything in the upgrade
that belongs in those partitions will overwrite anything it has to at
will anyway.

I'd like to do that too, but RPM's usually put stuff in /usr/bin,

Hi,
how do I tell trn to use my local machine as its news server? I just
installed leafnode, and that said to make a file called /etc/nntpserver
which contains the line:
"localhost"
(or at least that's how I understood the documentation). But trn keeps
saying it can't find a newsserver.
Try swapping the order of the DIMMs...sometimes the hardware will see both
simms/dimms as the same size, especially if the smaller is installed first.

If you're using the default Mandrake kernel, the PPP module is there.

I figured out what I did wrong. I needed to run isapnp.
So I ran "pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf" and modified the results of that
and saved it. That would reserve the 0x0330 I/O port for the card,
no IRQ or DMA used.
So I need to run as root:
