Hi,
How can I make a DOS floppy disk image under Linux?

Moreover, my experience with DOS was back in stone age when you use

Hi,
But Firehol is complaining when I boot up that some
config file or other that it uses is not yet configured. I don't have time
to read the message properly as it flashes past, but it is marked as an error
during the booting process.
Can you maybe find that message in /var/log/syslog
or so

Hi all,
Recently, I noticed that the date format in the output from "ls -l" has
changed in squeeze. Before, it used the ISO standard (2010-05-29 20:00)
but now it's started printing "May 29 20:00" or "May 29 2009" if it's
not the current year.
