cd-to-cd burning

1999-04-13 Thread Matt Garman
What is the best way to do CD-to-CD copying under Linux? Specifically, I have a copy of the "official" debian 2.1 (slink) CD of which I want to burn an identical copy. Is it necessary to make an ISO9660 image from the current CD and then burn? Surely there is an easier way to get around this. T

The way I understand it KDE uses some sort of non-free widget library. That is why they don't come with Debian Distributions. I would assume that CheapBytes includes it because they think it is a good idea. -Original Message- From: Pollywog [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 1

Re: Telnet from M$win to Debian (newbie)

John, first of all you can't login as root via telnet. It is probably something with telnetd or the kernel as security, also never log in as root. A lot of exploits can be used and you can accidently format your whole hard drive. Use su, but only use it when you need to, since only bad system admin

Yes and the source for the kernel modules is missing. If you untar the kernel tar.gz in /usr/src the modules code is not there. Someone needs to get Cheapbytes to be more careful with Debian. Never the less, I did get it to work just fine, but its tricky. Rob Blue Star Ranch __
