Otherwise, is changing things manually an option? Yea. Take a look at `man swapon`. You just have to edit '/etc/fstab'. jops, Stoffel. -- Anything that is good and useful is made of chocolate.
Re: kde2 is running 1600x1200

Not kde2 runs only with 1600x1200 resolution, but your Xserver. So (assuming you use XFree4.x), change the modes in your XF86Config file in /etc/X11, e.g. --- znip Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor"Monitor0" Default Depth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection --- znap jo, Christoph. -- Anything that is good and usefule is made of chocolate.

Take a look at /usr/share/doc/exim/README.Debian.gz: --> README.Debian.gz <-- exim for DEBIAN --- Exim will install by default to run from inetd.conf. To instead run exim as a daemon: 1. Disable the entry in /etc/inetd.conf. The startup script (/etc/init.d/exim) will notice this and start a daemon 2. You might want to change the contents of /etc/cron.d/exim since the queue will be run from the daemon instead jo, Christoph. -- Anything that is good and usefule is made of chocolate.

Actually you could do something like
$IP=`ifconfig ppp0 | sed -e 's/^.*inet addr:\([0-9.]*\).*/\1/' | awk -F:\
'{print $2}'`
(I think, this works if you want the ip of ppp0)
but you will not need it for firewalling, because ipchains can
handle devices, e.g.
`ipchains -A input -i ppp0 -p tcp --syn -s 0/0 -d 0/0 -j DENY`
will deny all incoming syn tcp packets.

Exactly. Take a look at `man pppd` and search for 'ip-{up,down}'.

Re: Sound problems - newbie
Hi Glen, If adding yourself to the audio group doesn't solve the problem, try it the hard way: as root do chmod 777 /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer Hope this helps! Christoph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Suggestions for a USB Webcam
Hi David, I'm looking into getting a USB Webcam I have a Logitech QuickCam Pro ($85) which I use with gnomemeeting and with which I am quite happy. Getting the driver for it was easy... it comes with the Debian stock kernel. Getting usb to work and setting up /dev/video was more of a pain, but that will be true with any camera. Can you recommend a good program to use the camera within kde as well? I have a Webcam USB myself, but didn't yet manage to get it up and running.
