Hi all,
If anyone is using freedb can you drop me aline to explain how it works?
I am trying to gte my ageing head around it. Seems as if you set up a
freedb server and then use a range of freedb software to access it?

Hi Leslie,
I think you'll find a vi variant (in this case, yes, vim) standard on
every modern *nix...
It's good to know the basics of vi even if you rarely use it. (For
situations like these.) :)

Thanks very much for the quick response, Michael.
If I understand correctly what you say, I can open the etc/fstab file
in the shell I've been dropped to, edit the file appropriately and
then save it. Then, still in the shell, I can issue the mount command
regarding hdb3. Finally, I can reboot

AFAIK from what you've told me you need to edit /etc/fstab so that it is
correct (currently it has /shared as ext3 rather than vfat)

Does anyone know of some (open source) software that will generate a

1975 Foo
1976 Bar

I've got myself into a real pickle.
I use Fedora Core 3. It's on hdb, while hda is devoted to WinXP.
I understood that if I created a partition on hbd with filesystem
type vfat, that partition could be shared by both FC3 and WinXP. I
tried to achieve that on installation of FC3, but, contrary

Hi there
An interesting one. I am looking at allocating space on a spare 686 for
several distros and probably playing with Xen at the same time.
My plan is:
/dev/hdb1 gentoo, xen kernel install, mbr etc
/dev/hdb2 debian install bootable from xen or standard mbr
/dev/hdb3 something else...
My us
So is anyone planning activities for Software Freedom Day?
Need any help?

Aye.
