Mandrake 6.0 to watch a serial port and if it detects a signal from the UPS (that the power is cut) that it will issue a shutdown command? Thanks much. --- Ian W. Douglas, Wild Web Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ UIN: 506679

Re: [newbie] how do i

the last time I did it, it will only read NTFS ... no write support yet. # cd /usr/src/linux # make config work through all of the options # make dep # make clean # make bzImage # cp arch/1386/boot/bzImage /boot/whatever_your_kernel_is_called_in_/etc/lilo.conf # lilo # shutdown -fr now --- Ian W

Re: [newbie] New Guy here. Where do I start?

28MB swap partition, I figure that'll be plenty for use as a workstation. Of course, if you're setting up a server then by all means, set up a larger swap partition if you really think you'll need it. Just my $0.02 worth... --- Ian W. Douglas, Wild Web Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ UIN: 506679

Re: [newbie] fstab

lace 'vfat' with the filesystem you want it to use (vfat, umsdos, msdos, etc)exist as an empty directory and is where your Win95 partition will be mounted. Good luck. --- Ian W. Douglas, Wild Web Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ UIN: 506679

Re: [newbie] RPMs (?)

ite box that Mandrake 6.0 cleary specified that Mandrake 6.0 was optimized for Pentium-class processors and even listed on the edge of the box (the bottom I think) which processors it supported. Cheers, --- Ian W. Douglas, Wild Web Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ UIN: 506679

[newbie] POP mail?

pop3d doesn't exist anywhere on my system and I'm wondering what IS on my Mandrake 6.0 system that I could use in its place, or maybe find out what module I didn't install to get that single utility. I've searched the whole system and nothing jumped out at me. Any thoughts?
