Helpful hint for Kernel 2.6.14+ and Nvidia w/ Module-assistant

The reason that the current version of module assistant is failing to build the NVidia driver against 2.6.14 sources is that you must do this first: hostname:/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.14# make prepare hostname:/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.14# make prepare scripts Then module-assistant will work. -

Virtual Drives for Testing

I'd like to test different drive configurations virtually without having to resort to something like vmware or qemu. I know how to create a virtual filesystem using dd and wonder can I create a virtual drive that I can partition with fdisk, etc. For example, I'd like to set up a virtual raid

Problem running "normalize-mp3 --tmpdir /tmp ...".

(This refers to the normalize-mp3 command provided by package normalize-audio, version 0.7.6-7.) As I think is normal, /tmp has permissions "rwxrwxrwt", which is supposed to let me rename and unlink files that I own within in. But normalize-mp3 has problems using it: $ normalize-mp3 --tmpdir /t
