Re: Partitioning

Paul, Linux doesn't recognize or even care about "primary" partitions. "fdisk", "cfdisk", etc. recognize them but only because BIOS deals with drives and partitions in this fashion. I guess what I am trying to say is that Linux does not care a whit about what kind of partition or where it happens

Steve; While I might indeed have created problems for myself, I NEVER have capitalized an xterm entry. All of the examples for Xdefaults and Xresources that I have seen through the years have never had "xTerm", "Xterm", or "XTerm". While I am quite sure that the resource and resource class keywo

So of those not so easily confused as the rest of us may well correct this. I also have done the force on libc6 but think that it has something to do with just exactly which 'old' libc5 is on your system. _If_ I remember correctly, you can not install the libc5 from hamm first because it _definat

Let me count the reasons... 1) If I want to do some work when someone else is already logged in via xdm (ie: They don't mind the 'break' but would mind "shutting down" for me). 2) If I am logged in as me and decide that I want to do a bunch of "sysadm" type stuff, I will frequently

Hi John; I have one PC running hamm. Part of my "motivation" for switching to hamm is that I also have two Amiga 3Ks running debian linux and for those essentially hamm is not an option. It is I think, useful to try to keep the debian machines all running the same version. The PC does however,
