Gentlepeople,
I have finally pulled my finger out and started backing up some of my
files to tape. I am just creating an uncompressed tar archive on the
tape (DDS3).
Since I am paranoid about my backups (at least until I am confident it
is all working) I am doing a diff to the original files. U

Gentlepeople,
I have two Debian Woody stable (with bf24 kernel) systems on which sound did not work on the initial installation. The soundcore modules were installed and load automatically. By working out what my sound chip was, I was able to get sound working by doing a manual modprobe of the a

Although I have found a work around to this problem, I would still like
to know why it doesn't work properly, and why my work around works when
it prints a message on my terminal saying authentication failed!

Gentlepeople,
Is there anyway to make wget to url decode output filenames? At the
moment if you (say) wget http://someserver/some file it will request the
file as http://someserver/some%20file (urlencoding the space). This is
fine but it then writes the file as some%20file instead of 'some file'

Gentoo is one of the distributions I have tried. Richard has it just
about right.
I learned a lot installing it because, as Richard says, you do
everything by hand and command line, although the install document does
step you through it, I had it open on an alternative console while I

Gentlepeople,
I want setiathome to work in the background and start automatically when
the machine is booted. The readme said I should put it in crontab and
gave me an example entry which I put in anacrontab because I use that
instead (its better than cron isn't it). Here is the entry wh

one with an english character set and is also 8 pixels(?) in height
(hence the 08 or in some cases 8x8) if you want 50 lines. To get 43
lines you might try the xxx-10 fonts.
Hope that helps.

Louis,
Try this:
