I'm thinking of getting a SONY Vaio sub-notebook laptop. Any comments about them or what online store to buy/ not buy them would be greatly appreciated. --Bob Solovay ___ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What model? I was pretty set on the Sony TR2's until I found my Fujitsu P5020D. I think it is a better value, unless you get an iBook = ) Ben PS - The intel 855GM chipset is not terribly-well supported in linux these days, it is of the i810 ilk. The future is bright, but far away -- Intel

Your CDRW is referred to as dev=0,0,0 for cdrecord. That is how it is accessed on 2.4 kernels. Things are a little different on 2.6 but I'm still using ide-scsi in my 2.6. Nothing you need to worry about though ;) As for good CDRW blanks I'd always recommend TDK. Maxwell do a good job. Memorex

Hello EUGLUGers, I don't know what would be the best way to go about this since the options list for kernels are quite long... but I often go through the kernel configuration and wonder if I shouldn't be using certain features. I feel like I know just enough to build my own kernel for my system

They are running SCO v5. They don't have ncftp. I forgot to look for a compiler. ftp and tftp are available. I was amazed at how similer SCO was to Linux. I wonder where they got the code? I guess all I need now is a script I can call from crontab to send some files to a destination. Thanks

When you say v5, I am assuming you mean SCO OpenServer v5. 1) get ncftp for OpenServer: ftp://ftp2.sco.com/pub/skunkware/osr5/vols/ncftp-3.1.2-VOLS.tar 2) Install it: To install: download, extract the tar archive into an empty directory and use the SCO Software Manager (custom) to

Very true, but somewhat overblown IMHO. driverloader came out just after the (for-pay) NDISwrapper thingy, and is about as good from what I've read. My own Centrino wifi does NOT require either of these, AFAIK -- Centrino is merely a name for the setup, including a range of hardware options... I
