debian install not recognizing cdrom
Thanks to all who replied about this. I haven't tried out the suggestions yet because my cdrom drive seems to be packing up :( I'll have a go when I've replaced it.

My part-time job is in a hardware store that uses a POS system similar to the one you are describing. All of our registers are 386's networked to a backroom server. Each register has its own dot matrix printer, but while it is actualy printing the keyboard is locked. This has never been any problem. While the keyboard is locked we are waiting for the invoice to print and/or the cash draw is open and we are making change. I should note that the invoice only prints after the sale is finalized. Actually the very first version of this POS system used WYSE terminal and there pass through printing feature. A.

Re: Transfering system directories to new HD
Try cp -ax /source /destination The a option copies symbolic links as links, preserves permissions, and copies directories recursively. The x option tells cp to not copy anything on a different file system. I have always used this method and the only thing I have to do is create the directories that act as mount points, they do not get copied because of -x. Hope it helps A.

Re: Latex documentation for beginners?
Hi you can find some manuals in the /usr/lib/texmf/texmf/doc/latex/general there is a manual called guide.dvi anyway you could look for the latexcook book in starlink home page. http://star-www.rl.ac.uk if you want I can send you several manuals. cheers miguel On Thu, 5 Sep 1996, Johann Spies wrote: > I relatively new to Linux and totally new to TeX and LateX. > > I downloaded Debian 1.1 and enough of the TeX an LateX-files to get LateX > running on my computer.

Re: Latex: where to install new styles? Mf: how to muzzle?
Hi there I normally assume that Latex should be installed in /usr/local/texmf where all the libraries and styles are included. for everything to work perfectly you should add the proper paths in the /etc/bashrc or .bashrc export TEXMF=/usr/local/texmf export TEXINPUTS=.:$TEXMF/tex/latex2e//:$TEXMF/tex// with these paths all the needed styles and defs are found by the system. However and I dont know why linux distributions came with texmf installed in the /usr/lib/texmf which is almost the same thing. so what I should do in your case could be one of the two following things: - reinstall the latex package in the /usr/local/ and install the new styles in the styles directory inside texmf or go ahead and install the packages in /usr/local but create a simbolic link in the styles directory inside /usr/lib/texmf where ever it is. hope this helps miguel On Fri, 6 Sep 1996, Jean Orloff wrote: > > To begin with: > I installed Latex2e-7 yesterday, with libmf required, the mf** > packages mentionned earlier, and it all works without a single "format not > found"!
