Swapping Hard Drives on the fly

Hey Folks, I have a 1.2G IDE HD that I have in a removable drive cady on my Bo system. It's not a 'hot-swap' drive or anything sophisticated like that, and on my Windoze system I wouldn't have even considered pulling it out while the PC was running. However, under Linux, shouldn't I just be able

How do I get exim to work?

changing module parameters

The Debian install (from floppies; CD is in the mail, couldn't wait ) went smoothly; a lot more smoothly than RedHat. The only hitch was that the ethernet was not installed correctly until the second try, and the first try's settings were stuck in some file (Running... says look for an .RC file, b
