RE: Video Card Recommendation
Hi all. I bought recently a STB Velocity, which uses the Riva TNT chip, and it works fine with the last Xfree86 version (3.3.3.1). I think is a good chip and it's very standard. It's supported under the SVGA server in the last version. I hope this will help you.

What seems to be working good for you guys. (Something less than a $120) Thanks -Nick M. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null -- Javier Perez Mayos Dpt.

Re: Lynx, Telnet won't resolve host
Hi Jim, the problem is easy: your machine don't know where to ask in order to solve the addresses. You have to create a file in /etc called resolv.conf, and put in the DNS Servers you want to use. This is an example file: nameserver 127.0.0.1 domain upc.es nameserver 147.83.2.3 search upc.es nameserver 147.83.61.17 nameserver 147.83.2.10 nameserver 147.83.32.3 nameserver 147.83.41.6 nameserver 130.206.1.2 I have 6 DNS, but maybe is a security paranoia :) I hope this will help you. Bye.

I read the pppHOWTO (but I'm not sure if a; I understand it all, and b; if it even applies since wvdial did all the work) I looked for resolv.conf and don't seem to have one, let alone know where it should reside, and read the docs that come with Lynx to no avail. Any assistance in this perplexing situation would be greatly appreciated by this a comer to the world of Debian/Linux.
