Unfortunately at work I must use a windows machine, but Id like to be able
to use Putty to connect to my machine. I can bring up a standard SSH2
session but I am ignorant when it come to starting an X session remotely.
How do I go about getting X on my machine at work? I know it has to do
with
I recently upgraded to X4.01 and need to know where the default manager is
set. i.e. I want to use gnome but the debian default is currently used.
What file can I change. And can I not use startx gnome-session any more.
Thanks,
Im trying to recompile my kernel but from 'menuconfig' I can not find the
correct driver for my smc epic100. The epic100.c file is available under
drivers/net/ but it does not seem to show in the 10/100 section of
'menuconfig'. Could it possibly be under a different name? Im using 2.2.17
and have
Does anyone know how to set up lilo to launch BeOS. Note win98
will have to boot from same HD. Do Both win98 and Be need to be on
bootable partitions?
Thanks,

Ive run into a problem upgrading from slink to potato because of my own
stupidity. I had Slink running fine but decided to rearrange my
installation while upgrading (remove fat partition...). Well I forgot that
the Slink CD I have does not have the drivers for an epic100 network card.
So I need to
This may have already been mentioned but with 10/100 baseT you can not use
a normal cable to connect them you have to use a crossover cable. You
sould be able to find instructions online.

The Unix machine I get my mail on has only a few mail clients to choose
from and Ive chosen pine for my use. Im new to it and have tried to
discern how to set up a filter so that the mail from this list goes to a
seperate folder if any one know how to do this I would be thankful for
their help.
My sound mysteriously quit working the other day and I believe I found the
problem. /dev/snd is symlinked to a some sort of ALSA dev file which
doesn't even exist. I think I can get sound working again if I delete it
and replace it with a device file. How is that to be done. I don't know

If your question is simply whether multiple monitors are supported or not
the answer is yes. But if you are asking if you can say move you mouse to
the edge of one monitor and to the other, I can not tell you. That
question would be more specific to either X or to which desktop
environment you
The first thing that comes to mind for me is to ask where on the hard
drive is your linux partition and where is Windows. Keep in mind lilo has
problems when your boot sector is past the 8 gig point. If you put the 5
gigs for linux first this may help. And personally I would advise
splitting your
It sounds like a keyboard mapping problem, possibly stemming from user
option files that either exist in the home directories of individual
users. For example your root profile may have a file called .xinitrc that
changes your mapping and normal user don't have this. Look in /root and

I have run into a bit of a problem when compiling the test kernel
under potato. When I make zImage it runs all the way to the end and then
crashes after reporting that the system is to large. Yet the size it
reports is actualy smaller than that of the current kernel (The default

In /etc/fstab you will see lines similar to this:

I had the same problem as you did and the easiest solution I found was
simply to kill gpm. I know its not a perfect fix but how often do you use
your mouse from a vt?
