I belive if you had simply clicked on "sendmail" defaults would have appiered. Most programs have defaults as you well know, so leaving them "as is" is normally the best option. > Now, question, I have a separate DOS hard drive on the system, and I made sure > it was there and connected when I installed Linux, but if I try to mount it I > get a message "Kernel does not support FAT16" (or Umsdos if I try that option). > Does that mean I have to recompile the kernel? The thought somewhat alarms me. The most likley reason is that you do not have automatic loading of kernel modules turned on, either kmod is not in the kernel or your system does not start kerneld ar bootime. Have you tryed doing; modprobe fat16 Then try and mount again, Other options are fat and vfat or even 'msdos'. > > Chris > slowly recovering -- Regards Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
