Try this:
$ cd /dev
$ ls -l cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 26 02:43 cdrom -> hdc
$ ls -l hdc
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 May 6 1998 hdc
Have root give 'other' the same permissions to the device as 'user' and
'group',
# chmod o+r+w /dev/hdc
and see if this works for you.
Cheers,
Ben

It must have its own partition. But you can probably move all of your
Win95 files up to one end of the disk and make a partition at the other
end.
Besides, you do have a *backup* in case your HD crashes, or some
horrible bug corrupts the FAT setup, don't you ? So if the worst comes
to the worst, look on it as a reason to test your backup !

I suspect that he *may* already *just* have considered that
possibility. There might just be one of *several hundred* reasons why
the files have to go the way he suggested. I'm looking for similar
capabilities for NT, for reasons which I don't particularly feel the
need to go into here.

BTW, a new standard is on the way: International System of Units (IS) has a
proposal for "prefixes for binary mulitples". Defined as
2^10 = 1 kilobinary = 1 kibi = 1 Ki. Look it up at

Try Debian. You can get just the basic packages off the net
(www.debian.org). After that, when you need a package, just say
"apt-get install <package>" and it will go to the net, get it, install
it, and configure it.

Is there a way to write udf file system into cd by packet writing ?

You use PPP. :-)
The ISDN line card should just be another device to Linux, which can be
accessed the same way as /dev/ttyS0 or /ttyS1 would be for a dial out
modem.
There's a pretty good how-to provided with most distributions - have a
look for it.

This is actually the default. The technical details of using a cable modem
are not allowing a different and equally balanced up/download ratio at all.
It is a limitation of the cable technology .

Subject: Triple-ISDN getting general protection fault
Hi,
I have encountered a bit weird problem lately. Running a server (Pentium, 2.0.35)
with 3 AVM-Fritz-ISA-Cards stuck inside for incoming calls on 1TR6 and DSS1,
the server _sometimes_ cuts every connection and seems to hang - you won't connect to
it
via ISDN until reboot mostly, but ocasionally it's getting back to work smoothly......

there are several sources, all which are pretty comprehensive.
However, there are some hardware items where the level of
support is not well documented ( sound cards, scanners, modems.
We all know that "winmodems" are unsupported but we don't know enough
examples and nonexamples of winmodems. )

Allmost impossible. They would rather use their own compatibility lists.
What you might hope for is
(a) they link to you on their compatibility lists
(b) the hardware HOWTO puts a pointer to your database.

They already can (ie if they put "Linux SuSE supported", I would buy it
to use on Redhat with confidence ... ) . They just don't want to.

the lack of clarity here can be a problem.

Very true.

You will have to use a pretty lightweight proceedure on some items to make
it workable on some items ( like modems )
I suggest you start doing something about the items that are not well
documented, such as modems. There's a start on this site ...

Most mail clients don't support pop directly.
Your best choice is probably to use "fetchmail" to pull the mail off
your server, and then use any client to read it locally.
My recommendations:
Postilion
TkRat
XFMail

Take a look at http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu.html
Basically, when you install a package it will run update-menus to incorporate
the new package into the menus, it does this by regenerating the menu files so
if you have edited them directly your changes will be lost. the document
listed above shows the correct way to create your own amendments to menu items.

Wondering where the video4linux mailing list(s) are? The pointers on
various pages (eg Alan Cox' page) point to a machine that does not have
a DNS entry (odin.appliedtheory.com). Have the lists moved?
Also, has anyone gotten a Zoltrix BT848-based card to work on kernel 2.0?
