It could also mean the boot manager (grub or lilo) isn't installed in the MBR. Since those things are free to check, I would.

| how run linux from CD, porblem is very problematic Posted: 03 May 2006 09:46 AM PDT magnate wrote: Hello magnate, The setup worked all the way till it loaded drivers from CD rom but after that it would say that there is error reading cd and when i used option of checking the integrity of the Debian CD it says that it is not an Debian disk. Funny thing earlier in the installtion it recognised the CD as an debian installer CD and when the actual installation process came it just refuses to accept the cd as that of Debian. any guess why. I want to learn linux programing so my requirements are just gcc and if possible gtk or graphical development environment can you suggest any solution to above with my current system configration because i am not going to purchase any new computer in the near future because this old guy is just working fine for me and i have run the open office non installation distribution for windows. It just takes some time and gives some errors but i can do almost all the things i do with mircrosoft office. Thanks for your Support. |

You might try "modprobe vfat" before the mount command. And is the pen drive sdc? You can see the scsi devices in /proc/scsi/scsi (with cat), and you can see the partitions with "fdisk -l /dev/sda" (note, no digit after the device name). -- bill davidsen SBC/Prodigy Yorktown Heights NY data center http://newsgroups.news.prodigy.com |
| Posted: 01 May 2006 11:06 AM PDT The Natural Philosopher wrote: Some POP3, and especially IMAP servers, can authenticate via database back-ends. This creates a possibility for shared resources or multiple user access to the same shared email that's otherwise access. In fact, if possible, throw out POP3. There are many, many powerful technical reasons not to use it, the most important of which is that if you connect to the same server from two different clients, the layout of mailboxes is almost impossible to synchronize with POP3. I've seen similar, where a VP hired a secretary to manage their overwhelming mail spool rather than upgrading the server to MAILDIR so they could easily access and manage their huge mailboxes. I've worked with both. I got turned onto Postfix less than 3 years ago, because so many folks I worked with really insisted on using UNIX servers such as Suns for core services. I'm very disenchanted with the approach: useful and problem-saving shifts, such as the integration of procmail and milters, tend to lag way behind in default UNIX sendmail releases. And this is relevant. "Avoid the need". Oh, please! POP3, which is the name of the protocol, works just fine until it shreds people's email because *every single POP3 client in the universe* downloads all the mail and deletes it off the server, by default. This means that every time someone sets up a new client, they risk blowing away all their email from the server. This is painfully stupid and risks user's email. I've had to fix and restore mail blown away this way, repeatedly, until I migrated people over to IMAP. And please, learn the language of what you're discussing. There is no such thing as POPD. There are easily dozens of POP daemons available, but none of them I've seen in the Linux world are called POPD. There is pop3d, which is what some software calls the daemon, and even pop2d for POP2 as opposed to POP3 services. |

| Posted: 30 Apr 2006 12:42 PM PDT Hi Bill Thanks for your reply. Sorry I think I'm making things a bit complicated, basically I can't get into the GUI installer it X Server just hangs at a black screen. However I have found a work around, by using the 'linux nodmraid' command I managed to boot into the GUI. The only problem is I need dmraid to be on. I can't get into the installer without the nodmraid command, but the installer dosent see my RAID Array without it! I have tried the vesa drivers ('linux vesa') but all that happens is I get a no signal error when the GUI is meant to boot up. So does anyone know a workaround for my nodmraid problem? |

The 2003 version of Office still works fine, but I really don't want to have wasted my money on a product if I can't get it to work.
