Hello all,
I've been having some trouble with USB drives in the last few months. When
copying files onto a device, the copy appears to be instantaneous, but is
clearly buffered by the kernel. If I unmount the drive, all appears well, but
then removing the device results in corruption.

I've done it both from KDE and the command line, but I don't think that really
matters. It's the fact that large files appear to be copied instantly that is
frustrating.

With the latest Grub2 (grub2-efi-x86_64 1:2.00beta2-2), it seems that grub-

There never were any fallback kernels. The term "fallback" has always

Hi guys,
I've been reading up on LDAP, in the hope of getting Kontact set up to read in

I know it's supposed to be there.
