So? It isn't on the first drive, is it?
It's a valid warning.
What's your problem with it?

What problem?
You're being really cryptic.
I haven't read *one* problem in your post.
I suppose you cannot boot linux through the NT loader?
Describe the problems you have. What have you done.
Where and how does it fail.

The first two characters of the returned encrypted value are the salt.
If you encrypt with the same salt each time, it will work.

With the new kernel 2.4, quota management change. Yopu say the
filesystem is mounted with usrquota.. Before you can this in
/etc/mtab, yet you this is in /etc/fstab. Another before you work with
/dev/sdb1, yet you work directly with /home for example... And the
format of quota file is diferent, you don't use edquota but easily
setquota.
Wht's error appear when you run quotacheck ?

That 'add user' functionallity in suse is in yast (or yast2, whichever
you have installed).

If you have the money, buy a package. I have good experience with suse
(6.1 and now migrating to 7.1) If you only copy the CD's, the book is
somewhere on cd1.

hmm, what just after posting ocurred to me, is the question, if split

i think i once heard something about a weird bug in netscape (no
guarantee for this info), which had something to do with saving tgz
and tar.gz files correctly. i think it was something about
mime-types.. but dunno. i would try downloading them with ms
iexplorer.. if that doesn't help, look, if a recent version of winzip
is used. maybe older ones suck..

maybe, the exact command for tarring the files would help, too. is
there any incompatible ms-unfriendly modes of "tar" (like some
permission thingie, or so?)

Subject: Help with ipchains and ip forwarding
Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2001 16:34:17 +0800

I am running Redhat Linux 7.0 as a gateway/firewall machine on an ADSL
connection to the net.  This will soon be changed to either 6.2 or 7.1 due
to the few probs with certain packages in this distribution ;)
I will be running another internal linux machine (192.168 .x.x) which will
provide webserving to the internal network and the rest of the internet.  I
am wondering if it is possible using ipchains to forward requests for port
80 on my gateway from the outside world to the internal machine (say at
192.168.0.4 port 80).  If this can be done with ipchains please let me know,
or if it can be done by any other method.  All I read about is
portforwarding to services on the same machine.

I have read heaps of articles and books but can't quite find out how to do
this.
Excuse me if this is really easy, and I am really dumb :P

Thanks heaps
Nick

i there was, etc.. now i am using freeagent with wine. works

Hi all

A few months ago one told me that there is no way to play mpeg4 movies 
with Linux.

Well, did things change meanwhile? In particular I am looking for a 
way to play mpeg4v2 (MP42) coded avi files. Is this possible these 
days?

What about divX? AFAIK it is derived from mpeg4 but cannot be used to 
play original mpeg4 movies but maybe one can convert them to divX.

Any help appreciated.

OK, I don't have the same exact configuration of postfix as you do,

In your /etc/postfix/virtual file

# postfix virtual

Then run the postmap command on your virtual file. (important!)

kmail allows you to grap your signature as the output from a
program. So you could write a simple program (I'd use
Python/Tkinter) that when run pops up a window with a list
of possible sigs, when you click on one of them it sends
it to stdout and exits. Then tell kmail you want to
get your sig from this program.

(Not tried it, but I think it should work)
