My fstab entry looks like this:
/dev/hda1 /C vfat rw,user,exec,umask=000 0 0
and it does what you want. The umask=000 is the key.

Hello Stanley,
Here we use Fetchmail to do just that, from a POP3 server. Exim then
deposits the mail into a file, /var/spool/mail/[username].
Pine when started will see the mail in the file and present it for
reading. Simple.
If not on-line at the time of sending, Exim queues the mail until such a
time that a connection exists, when it will be sent on.

Date: Sun, 09 Jul 2000 18:09:39 -0400
I wanted to try out a basic version of LINUX before trying out
soemthing more substantial such as RedHat so downloaded PHATLINUX. I
burned the single zip file to a CD but when I try to decompress the
archive with WinZip I get the following message:
testing: ARMED/phatlinux.img Error: invalid compressed data to
inflate
All the other files decompress OK but the all important .IMG file
gives me this when I try to decompress both PHATLINUX and ARMEDLINUX.
Any ideas ?

That should work.
For a general purpose / workstation system, I generally split out:
/ 50 - 150 MB
/tmp 50 - 100 MB
/var 200 - 500 MB
/usr 1 - 2 GB
/usr/local 1 - 2+ GB
/home remainder
Sizes, particularly for /var, /usr, /usr/local, and /home, are highly
variable depending on what you plan to do with the space. For
databases, webservers, news servers, departmental mail servers, and
multi-user shell (or file) servers, storage requirements will go up
significantly. Likewise if you need to install every version of every
software package out there.

As root, run 'ntsysv' and you can unselect it from running again. This will work
with RH and I guess Mandrake too.

You dunnot need them, Linux has the feature built into the kernel. I hardly feel
that my notebook run hot when running Linux, but it does when running Win98 with
Rain (another program which does what watefall does, put the CPU to idle when
not in used). Surely in Linux you need to enable APM for this feature to work.

Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2000 17:46:44 -0500
Hi there,
A simple issue that's driving me kind of nuts here so I need to ask it. I
have a network with 2 windows machines sharing an ADSL connection through a
linux box running Mandrake 6.1. I use IRC on the windows machine and the
linux machine but regardless if I'm using the windows machine or the linux
system it tells me that my ident server is not responding. I'll be honest
I'm quite new at linux and I'm not too familliar with ident. I looked
through the man for it and it wasn't too helpfull and I've gone through all
kinds of documentation and it dosen't seem to help. I've edited the
inetd.conf file to have the proper ident line in there but I still can't get
a response from port 113.
Could someone please give me a link to a site that explains ident in great
detail so I could get this working or possibly email me to let me know how
to correct this please?
Thanks,
Curtis P.

I had the same problem with the NVIDIA GForce card. You have to get the new
drivers from NVIDIA. Here's the url:
http://www.nvidia.com/Products/Drivers.nsf
Theres also step-by-step installation instructions there too that you might
want to read :)
Then xfree86 should be able auto-detect after that...supposedly

The line below will allow all users to access the /mnt/win partition.
Any user will also be able to delete any and or all files on the

It seems that youve already got the X server, so no need to build one.
The reason why you got "no such file or directory" is not the server
binary didn't exist, but the required libaries could not be found. You
need the glibc2.1 libraries, which are not included in Slackware 3.5.
You'll have to install these libraries or stick with the X servers from
Slackware 3.5 (at least XF86_VGA16 should work).

Almost fixed. Try scrolling in netscape.

Hrm, I thought the Uk used NET3? At least, that's what my Cisco router thinks

Edit /etc/conf.modules with your favorite text editor, and find the line
that says "scsi_hostadapter". Remove that line, and replace it with this
line:
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
This will force loading of the ide-scsi module whenever a "SCSI" device is
accessed, which is what you want unless you have a real SCSI bus
somewhere.
Information of the conf.modules file can be found by doing "man
conf.modules", naturally.

OK, I'm a little on the stumped side. I've got a RedHat 6.1 box
with 2 active ethernet cards; I'm running kernel 2.2.14 and is
running ipchains for firewalling purposes. It's sitting between
my home network and my cable modem.
It works like a champ when it works, but for no known reason at
any given time it just stops routing. I can find no error
messages or any message pertaining to routing; it simply stops.
I can simply stop/start networking and re-run my firewall script
and it takes off like a rocket once again.
Any ideas? They would certainly be appreciated!
