:help mysyntaxfile
Personally, I don't bother with that stuff, and just edit the default
global syntax files directly (they're owned by me, not root). I know I
shouldn't do that; however, because I tend not to trust dpkg, I compile
& install vim myself (into /usr/local/), and therefore don't have
kill `ps axu|grep '^USER\>'|sed -e 's/[^0-9]*\([0-9]*\).*/\1/'`
at least, that's what *i* would do.

Hm. So this guy's not really subscribing to the list, but wants us

Why did you have to become root? It sounds like you need to use the uid
and gid options in the fstab entry for your windows partition.

Or the other way around -- sourcefile can be a drive-letter (and may
contain a full path, too, of course) to copy from the floppy.

I'm going to be buying a new video card soon, so I wanted to see if
anyone had any advice to give me. (This isn't really Debian-specific,
but I think it's something most of us Debian users care about, so I
figured it would be worth a discussion on debian-user.) I think I'm in

You should know what video card you have. If it's PCI, then running
'scanpci' will give you the identifier string it responds with -- that

the "-orig" is the pristine source code, straight from the author(s). I
believe that the "-diff" contains the modifications made by the Debian

I'm pretty sure it won't. I'm pretty sure you have to run isapnpdump on
your own motherboard with your own sound card.

That's where I was about 2 years ago. Just install it -- it's easy. When
I figured out how CGI works, I was so excited I worked on CGI shells

I apologize if I'm insulting your intelligence here, but make sure you
have 'AllowOverride AuthConfig' (or 'AllowOverride All') in the
appropriate (or , etc.) block in (assuming
you're using Debian) /etc/apache/access.conf.
