I've moved my old system over to a new hard drive. I thought I was
fairly meticulous in copying things over (compared all permissions,
ownerships, links and other special files between the two file systems). I
edited lilo.conf and fstab, then shutdown, changed the drives master/slave

I've got a 6.4 GB fujitsu drive that I am trying partition.
Actually, I had it partitioned, formatted (no reported errors), and file
system from an old disk transferred to it. However, I made it the master

There are some pretty good deals on Lexmark printers at my
University. They use PCL5 and PS emulation. Anybody have any experience
with Lexmark's emulation and Linux ? I've heard that the emulation isn't
perfect. Since they don't support Linux, they are not likely to offer any
solutions
I'm transferring an existing Debian installation from an small disk
to a new big one. I used tar to move all the files over. For the most part
all the permissions and other attributes were preserved, but a few were not.
Most notably all sockets were made into pipes in /dev and in /var/ru
Hi,
I have the kernel source tree on a machine with very limited space.
I have compiled from it but it is just plain occupying too much space. I
want to get rid of it now. Just about anything that could be done as a
module was. Following the instructions in the README file in the root
Hi,
I got a small used disk given to me that I am trying to put into a
small system I have. When I tried to run mke2fs on any of the partitions I
had created I get

Hi,
I'm trolling for ideas and guidance. I'm trying to help my parents
enter the electronic age. They basically know nothing about computers.
They're 80 and I'm stubborn. This means that things have to be super easy
for them, and I'm hoping to avoid windoze.
So far I have set u
Hi,
I just acquired a used Trantor 128F SCSI adapter that I am trying to
install in a 486sx-33 to run a Maxtor lxt-340sy harddrive. The card has
onboard bios that can be enabled/disabled. The computer bios is AMI
(06/06/92).
I have set the jumpers and dipps on the drive and car

Sorry to keep pestering the list with my sound questions. I thought it
would be better to send each one as separate message rather than dump only
loosely related questions under one subject header.
After having enabled sound in the kernel, I went into dselect and
installed a numbe
Anyone understand logical devices as they relate to kernel
configuration ? I recently compiled sound support into the kernel. I just
kind of guessed at what to do in putting together isapnptools and make
config, and guessing at the capabilities of this poorly documented card.
Dumb luck g

Hi,
I finally got my sound enabled in the kernel. On to the next
problem. Whenever I try to use something like workbone, or anything that
needs to use a device such as /dev/audio, or /dev/dsp, or even /dev/hdb (my
cdrom) as an ordinary user I get permission denied. The permissions on
