you need to recompile smbmount with 2.2.x kernels. I've never done it, but

I have tried recompiling a 2.2 kernel, and now I have two problems:
1) The new kernel isn't recognizing my network card. I used the "PCI
NE2000" option; it worked before on a 2.0.34 kernel I compiled on a
floppy. Might I be missing an important option?
2) I still can't use sound. I have a SoundB

I thonk this is a FAQ in the docs. remove the lock option in
/etc/ppp/options, and even if it is the only line, do not delete the
file!. th
I have just read the lwn comments. They have pointed out that the NT server
was setted to use only 1GB of memory, so my last example of "biased tunning"
doens't apply. Sorry for my error :-).
Any way I would be glad to know which is the maximum amount of RAM kernel 2.2
can handle.
Thank you all,

Hello,
I'm just getting started using Linux. Actually, I'm expecting my Slink CD's to
arrive any day now. I'm upgrading an old PC I have to install Debian on. I'm on
a real tight budget, but I don't want to spend my money on hardware that won't
be appropriate.
I've found a 1.2 G hard drive for

There have been a lot of discussion on this "benchmark" on slashdot
(http://www.slashdot.org). I had time to take a galnce and it seems that the
benchmark is biased. It seems they have done a very good tunning of the NT box
and a poor one for the linux box.
As a small exemple they have used a serv

Hi,
I'm afraid I didn't get the point with NIS. I installed the nis.deb on
all our machines on the local network and followed the instructions in
/usr/doc/nis/nis.debian.howto carefully: setting up a master and the
clients.
But how do I proceed? How to add a user to the NIS database? I tried

I clicked on the link a couple of minutes ago. It still hasn't come up!
(ok, so it's probably the network in between, but I thought that was
kinda ironic in the Alanis Morissette sense of the word)
Sorry for the pointless posting: I'm supposed to be revising!
