Knoppix 3.4: How to get '|' character on keyboard

Nothing to do with knoppix. Man xmodmap.

Anyway, the pipe symbol on a uk keyboard is normally where you describe
it, so apparently your key genrates the wrong keycode for the uk
keymap. Check!

I think "rdev" is deprecated. Recent versions of the Linux kernel are not
made to be written directly to floppy disk without a boot loader.

Using consistent mount points for USB & Firewire ieee1394 drives

Posted: 28 Aug 2004 08:31 AM PDT

You can mount your USB volumes based on volume-label instead of device
name. E.g:

As root issue:
# e2label /dev/sdc1 USBPART1

and then in /etc/fstab:
LABEL=USBPART1 /mnt/myusb1 ext3 defaults 1 2

so the first partition on the USB drive will always mount as /mnt/myusb1
regardless of which device it is on.
 

Alternatively you can get your USB device recognized consistently, as
explained in other posts.

a strange problem with modules 1/4... debian kernel 2.6.7-1-386

This is my output:

May it be a udev problem?
Somebody told me that some software installing could have messed up something
with modules and/or /dev directory.

Any way to avoid using GRUB

You could use lilo.
Something has to load the operating system. The bios is too stupid and has
noidea where the operating systems are loaded on the disk. This is done by
a bootloader. Aso Something has to uncompress the linux kenrel, and jump to
the beginning of the kernel code . These things ae done by lilo or grub.
Linux can boot all sorts of operating systems. Including Windows.
HOwever if you would rather use the Windows bootloader to load the OS
youcan but then lilo or grub has to be installed in the partition that
contains /boot.

pcnfsd or hlcnfsd in fedora

Besides how badly pcnfsd sucked when Sun wrote it, and for which they should
have been castigated and had all their servers replaced with Samba servers
to do things via SMB instead of via NFS?

Oh, wait, I did that years ago. Never mind.....

Hmmm...how to see Windows from LInux?

Find out which partition is "E" on, either with graphical admin utilities
provided with your distro, or from the command line (as root):
# cfdisk /dev/hda (touch nothing, and exit via "Q")

Assuming that,
hda1 -> C
hda2 -> E
hda5 -> Linux

either add that partition as a mount point via graphical admin
utilities provided with your distro, or edit /etc/fstab (as root) and add
the line below:
/dev/hda2 /mnt/e auto defaults 0 0

It is a good practice to save your original fstab via
cp -a /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orj

and create the mount point via:
mkdir /mnt/e

P.S: It is a good practice to save your original fstab via
# cp -a /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orj

P.P.S: I suggest you change E from NTFS to FAT32, so that E will be
accessed r/w by Linux (as opposed to r/o).

P.P.P.S: It is also a good practice to split Linux installation to 2
partitions, one for /home (as much as you can allocate) and the other for
the rest (4-6G). It is analogous to splitting a Windows installation to C
and D. When you reinstall Linux, only the system will be written over.
Your /home partition would be intact (depending on your choice while
installing), so you would be able to carry your personal data from one
install to another.

Boot Problem after Install

Another frequent cause is this awful LABEL usage
in /etc/grub.conf and /etc/fstab .
You could use the first CD in rescue mode
to try putting in the real devices /dev/hda3, etc, in these files.
