Knoppix 3.4: How to get '|' character on keyboard Posted: 30 Aug 2004 12:29 PM PDT Maurice Batey <antispam.co.uk> wrote: 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! Peter |

Using consistent mount points for USB & Firewire ieee1394 drives Posted: 28 Aug 2004 08:31 AM PDT begin com (hish) dedi ki: 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. -- Abdullah | aramazan@ | Ramazanoglu | myrealbox | ________________| D.0.T cöm |__ |

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. |
KNotify going in an endless loop Posted: 27 Aug 2004 03:58 PM PDT Thanks to everybody! Everything is ok now! Arts is now disabled. Sound card still set for full duplex and working as before. |

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?

Hmmm...how to see Windows from LInux? Posted: 26 Aug 2004 07:46 PM PDT begin com (David Hill) dedi ki: 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. -- Abdullah | aramazan@ | Ramazanoglu | myrealbox | ________________| D.0.T cöm |__ |
