Laptops and Linux

2001-07-26 Thread Adam Bell
Anyway: Linux Laptops! Yay! I am currently running Linux on 2 laptops, and I have set up 3 different models. The verdict? You can nearly always get everything to work with some tweaking. The things you need are: 1) DETAILED tech specs...Dell is a good candidate for this, Sharp is the worst 2

I should also mention that if you have a CDR drive already and it doesn't look like it's supported, try it anyway. I have an unsupported drive, but it's an HP and apparently they're all kind of alike, because it works great and I haven't made a coaster yet either burning at 16x on a lowly pII-233

Well, 2 things:   A) Your ~/anything is probably /home//anything -- but it depends on how you setup your system.  Just log in and type pwd.  That's ~/   B) You can just type ~/whatever and it will work.  As in "emacs ~/.xsession"   --adam b. - Original Message - From: Alex Th

I'm having a problem with this package which is causing all messages to be "From:" www-data (the user apache is running as) instead of the user who is logged into the mail app. I feel like this is a really dumb problem, but the docs for this otherwise really nice package are nonexistent.

I don't know if there's a package, but it's a kernel option in 2.4.6. Just compile with scsi support (even if you have no adapter card) and there is a switch for "SCSI generic support" which needs to be on. It's in the top group of options. Then under IDE/ATA/ATAPI/EVERYTHING AND IT'S MOM

So I'm interested in setting up a small LAN, basically. What I would like to do is have one box, running Debian, which has a constant routable IP (via cable or some other sort-of high speed protocol) and a normal domain name. This will act as a mail server, samba server, FTP server, and i

System halt on low power

I'll bet there is a very easy answer to this, so here goes. I have a laptop on a LAN which should be on all the time. HOWEVER, our power grid has been known to have trouble, so if the AC should go and the batter gets low, I would like the computer to do an orderly system halt before

I have the same card. Probably your problem is that it's in plug and play mode, and since it's an ISA card that is suckland for Linux. You need a package called isapnp (apt-get install isapnp), which might already be there. Then you need to dump the output of pnpdump --config into /etc/isapnp.co

The option to allow different text modes also has to be available in your kernel, either compiled in or as a module. Although, someone will have to check me on that last one because I never use kernels out of the box and consequently have never used a module in my life except for an old isapnp car
