I think you might find that there is a problem with the browser you are using to download the iso's. I think it was a specific version of ie that corrupts files. Anyway might be an idea to try and download it with something like getright. > I tried to contact Sun about obtaining a free copy of S

Try looking at demolinux (www.demolinux.org I think). There are better solutions like linux on a floppy solutions (I can't remember what they are called, I'm sure someone else on the list will know them). And lastly there is someone out there trying to get linux on a cd, a bit more complex to set

Re: [SLUG] Identd - silly question

2001-07-01 Thread Matthew Clark
There are services that use identd, though I can't remember them all. I think that by removing it, you may actually incur delays (although small) when doing some things. For example I think sendmail and maybe even ssh use identd, so if you stop it then at times during the initiation of a connectio
