[newbie-it] Portatili

Ciao a tutti, vorrei prendermi un portatile (un po datato: pentium 166, 16Mb ram, 1Gb hd, ecc) ed installarci Linux. Qualcuno sa se il kernel supporta l'hardware dei portatili? Mandrake 7.2 ha drivers per schede PCMCIA? Grazie, Ciao, Lux.

[newbie] LM8.0: KMail font observation

[newbie] Laptop monitor problem

I'm on a Presario 1800T with a 15 TFT base model monitor. I called Compaq and they can't tell me if there's a specific model name or number for this monitor. When Linux-Mandrake detects the monitor, it chooses the High Frequency Super VGA, 1024x768 at 70 mHz, so I just take that since I don't

Re: [newbie] telnet

First of all, telnet is really not the way to go for remote access--look at openssh. However, in answer to your question, you'll need to check /etc/xinetd.conf, and check to see if in the /etc/xinetd.d directory you have a file called telnet and ftp. These files should look like: service telnet

I used to do ftp installs in my RedHat 5.x/6.x days and they did require you to boot off a (two, in fact) floppy disk first. As for network boot, it is possible through tftp. You might want to get a manual of the machine first and find out what exactly does boot from network mean. - Steve ---
