De momento me he puesto en contacto con el autor para que cambie la licencia de simple freeware a GPL y dice que no quiere. Sus palabras literales son: I am now thinking of making a Debian GNU/Linux package out of it, and I was wondering if you ever thought of releasing your program under the GPL license (or BDS or Artisctic, wich are also considerd to be free licenses). I think it would equally benefit you, as the author, and the users. If you need more information on the GPL or other liceses I will gladly provide you with links or any information you may need. These licences also hamper the inclusion of the code into bigger programs (like gphoto) which may be under a conflicting licence. I don't want this. Am I allowed to pack your program into a *.deb file? Of course! I hope the Debian team doesn't reject free software simply because it's not GPL :-) Como veis la abogacía no se me da muy bien y me sentiría incómoda insistiendo. Creo que no ha entendido que la GPL no interfiere con la inclusión de su código en otros paquetes, o esa es mi modesta impresión. En cualquier caso, respetaré la opinión de este señor e intentaré que mi primer paquete Debian sea lo más maravilloso posible (with a little help from the experts...). Aunque si a alguien se le ocurre una maravillosa y respetuosa froma de convencerle... yo encantada!

La pregunta: ¿puede que el squid 2.1.2 de debian 2.1 esté compilado sin la opción de soporte de password (-DUSE_PROXY_AUTH=1). Parece ser que la opción por defecto para compilar es sin este soporte.

Re: Nuevo Debian 2.1.
que exageración con 600 o 700 MB's debería valer para alguien que no quiere instalarse de todo... yo por ejemplo tengo 800 megas y tengo mucho más instalado para pruebas de lo que realmente necesito. En definitiva, si te vas a instalar de todo un poco sin saber realmente que vas a usar, mínimo 600megas, si sabes realmente lo que quieres y lo que te vas a instalar probablemente incluso con 500 MB tendrías de sobra, yo tengo una partición de Redhat llena de mierda y no llega a los 500 megas...(como ejemplo) Bueno, más saludotes...

Re: Leafnode 1.4 y Slink
Holas Barb
En esto todavía soy algo torpe y no he visto realmente si has intentado
borrar el paquete que tienes actualizado con dselect.. si no lo has hecho,
hazlo, y después intenta instalarte la versión que quieres, no directamente
sustituir una con la otra, sino borrar la que no quieres y después instalar
la versión antigua.. a ver si chutas... es una solución un tanto de help
desk hotline, pero a lo mejor te xuta...

Problemas con un Compaq
Hola chavales. Hace bastante que uso Debian. En casa tengo la HAMM funcionando desde que salió y sin problemas peeero... Estoy intentando instalarla en el Curro en un Compaq recien salido de la caja y tengo algunos problemas y algunas dudas que espero me podais resolver (es que sino me lo pisan con un red hat :( ) Por partes: Parece ser solo obtengo la entrada del teclado si arranco en frio. Si se rebota la he porque tecleo y no obtengo nada. ¿Esto es así? ¿o estoy haciendo algo mal? ¿tengo que botar de alguna forma especial? La tarjeta de red que lleva es una Compaq Netelligent 10/100 tx PCI Intel UTP Controller pero cuando sale el menu de los módulos de red no encuentro nada parecido y no he podido ponerla a funcionar. de los que hay ¿cual tendría que poner para que funcione? ¿ alguien sabe algo? La tarjeta de video es una Matrox Millenium G 200 AGP. ¿tienen las X de la HAMM soporte para esto? Sino, a ver si me dais alguna Pista para ponerla a funcionar. Gracias por todo.
Re: Nuevo Debian 2.1.
Bueno. Es cierto, si no quieres instalar muchas cosas, puedes tener suficiente... Sin embargo, con 4.3 GB, puedes dejar la mitad para Linux, o más, si sólo usas Linux. Yo hice la partición del disco 2 ( 6.5 GB ) con el fdisk de Win'95, partición swap de 300 MG y ext para el resto; y ya Linux se encargó del formateo y todo lo demás. Muchas gracias por la respuesta. Si puedo, haré la actualización. Saludos de: Fernández. Emilio escribió: Hola, me llamo Emilio Hernandez y soy un nuevo usuario de Debian 2.1 que compre ayer con la revista Linux Actual.

Compilé el squid y no vi por ningún sitio lo del - DUSE_PROXY_AUTH=1 Compilé el NCSA de los auth_modules. en el squid de debian puse authenticate_program /usr/local/squid/bin/ncsa_auth fichero donde fichero es el path del fichero de la forma usuario:password donde password es la clave cifrada. Y funcionó el problema es el programa de autentificación, hay que recurrir a uno externo. No llegué a probar el squid compilado. Si alguien tiene el problema le puedo pasar el binario necesario (ncsa_auth) o las fuentes para compilar. No me gustaría tener que compilar el squid. Me gustaría poder usar debian si sustituirle nada. Afortunadamente sólo tengo que cambiar el squid.conf (siempre lo hago) y añadir un binario. No es muy grave. Un saludo y gracias __ Eladio A.

Parece ser solo obtengo la entrada del teclado si arranco en frio. Si se rebota la he porque tecleo y no obtengo nada. ¿Esto es así? ¿o estoy haciendo algo mal? ¿tengo que botar de alguna forma especial? Veamos... En el curro todo son Compaq, de la serie Deskpro EP. Este problema lo vas a tener tanto con Red Jarl como con nuestra Debian, y te lo digo por experiencia. La tarjeta de red que lleva es una Compaq Netelligent 10/100 tx PCI Intel UTP Controller pero cuando sale el menu de los módulos de red no encuentro nada parecido y no he podido ponerla a funcionar. de los que hay ¿cual tendría que poner para que funcione? ¿ alguien sabe algo? Tengo montado un server-fax con el Hylafax bajo un Compaq Deskpro de los viejos (con un 166 Mhz creo), y lleva una tarjeta de red integrada en placa llamada NetFlex 3/P, para la cual no existen controladores en Linux (por lo que yo he visto), y creo que en tu caso te pasará exactamente lo mismo... La tarjeta de video es una Matrox Millenium G 200 AGP. ¿tienen las X de la HAMM soporte para esto? Sino, a ver si me dais alguna Pista para ponerla a funcionar. Nop. Tienes que pillarte las X's 3.3.3.x (creo que eran éstas), te instalas el server SVGA y a volar.

Re: Leafnode 1.4 y Slink
El problema real es que tienes, creo, el LANG, LC_MESSAGES o similar puesto a un valor distinto a 'C' (posiblemente lo tengas en 'es' por eso de violación de segmento :) Ya comentó Enrique Zanardi en la lista que no se debe tener a root con LC_ALL y similares a un valor distinto de C, porque podría causar este tipo de cosas. Aparte de sugerirte que mandes un bug-report a dpkg, sobre el tema (porque aún así no debería cascar), te sugiero que compruebes que esas variables de entorno no están puestas así. Prueba ~root LC_ALL=C dpkg -i leafnode... El caso es que a dpkg le pasa esto con *algunos* paquetes, no con todos, y fue un bug que tuvo parado un tiempo la salida de Debian 2.0. Aún no se habrá podido arreglar del todo porque dpkg es un programa complejo, como quiera que lo están reescribiendo es posible que no vuelva a pasar nunca más. En resumen: no tener al usuario root con LC's en español, sino, *siempre*, con valor 'C' (POSIX).

Re: Debian-br?
Eu acho q seria o ideal traduzir padrao... e quando nao houver jeito ou soar esquisito traduzir como por omissao Desculpem a repetição, mas penso que não transmiti claramente a ideia que me parece importante neste caso. Quanto a mim, é inútil discutir qual é A MELHOR tradução para default, ou qualquer outro termo, porque simplesmente NÃO EXISTE! O que há é várias traduções possíveis, e compete ao tradutor escolher aquela que melhor exprime o sentido original; e claro, discutir essa escolha com eventuais revisores da tradução. Perder tempo tentando encontrar a melhor, única e universal tradução de uma palavra para depois a usar cegamente em todos os casos revela, perdoem-me a franqueza, falta de conhecimentos ou de sensibilidade das línguas em causa. Sem dúvida, uma tradução unívoca deste tipo seria bem mais fácil (até mesmo automática), mas essa não é a realidade. Tradutores, façam bom uso desta liberdade! Abraços, Nuno.

Default (Re: Debian-br?)
Eu fui conferir no dicionário, e default significa inadimplência, negligência. Ou seja, é um termo Exatamente! É o termo inglês pra calote! Só que mais chique... tecnicalizado - usado fora do sentido normal quando no contexto técnico. Literalmente, acho que a mais exata seria mesmo a por defeito ;-) Na verdade por omissão. A idéia é, se você deixa de pagar, você vai ser cobrado, seu fiador vai ser chamado... passando pra informática, a idéia é, se você omite o parâmetro, o que acontece? A idéia de por defeito é secundária: o que acontece quando o valor do parâmetro é inválido. Mas o uso comum não é um valor inválido, mas um valor omitido. Nós não temos uma tradução unívoca para o conceito simplesmente pq em inglês tb não existe uma palavra para isso. Ou seja, não seria nenhum absurdo usar a própria palavra default, que aliás parece mais francesa que inglesa, assim como cache. Aí você vê o carinha dizendo quéchi, mas a pronúncia correta é a do Francês, cásh. Será que seria muito contra-intuitivo se a gente criasse um termo técnico ou tecnicalizado NOVO e tentasse ver se os usuários aprovam? Na minha opinião só há duas alternativas viáveis: usar a palavra default mesmo, ou seguir os portugueses e usar alternativamente por omissão ou padrão, conforme o contexto. Por defeito somente quando se estiver falado do caso específico em que o valor do parâmetro não foi omitido, mas especificado erroneamente. Claro que em se tratando de língua, sempre haverá casos em que ninguém pensou ainda, exigindo um pouco mais de criatividade...

I've outlined the procedure for making rescue floppy below. The Debian rescue floppy is what boots the computer into the install routine. Its also nice to have around if you hose your system so badly that you can't reboot. However, if your friend already has an OS on the computer and can access the CD, there may be am easier way to boot. There is a DOS batch script on the CD that you can run from a DOS prompt that reboots the computer with Linux. The batch script is called boot.bat and it in the install directory of CD. Let's say that his CD is D: under DOS/Win: C\: d: D\: cd \install D\install\: boot.bat and you should be off to the races. To make a rescue floppy from DOS, you use the rawrite2.exe programme. Simply copying the images won't work -- you must use rawrite. Also, you may have to be in true DOS mode rather than just a DOS prompt in a window. I gather some people have trouble doing this from a window prompt. Before you use rawrite2.exe, you have to choose which image file you are going to use. If you are installing to a desktop computer with a 3.5 high density floppy, you probably want to use resc1440.bin. rawrite2.exe and the floppy images are in CD-drive-letter\dists\stable\main\disks-i386\current. See section 5.3 of the document install.txt (or install.html with a web browser) to decide if resc1440.bin is appropriate for you. To use rawrite: C\: d: D\: cd \dists\stable\main\disks-i386\current D\dists\stable\main\disks-i386\current: rawrite2 -f image_u_want -d a: or b: -- drive your blank floppy is This information is free and without warranty.

Re: New drive
Ghost is a drive imaging software. What it does, it copies your disk or partition byte for byte, formatting it on-the-fly. It works with ext2 filesystem, the only limitation is that, compared to the other filesystems, it won't resize the image, meaning that you can't take a partition created on a ,let's say, 1G and drop it to a 2G partition. It works very well, I use it at work almost every day but I never tried it with ext2. In theory it should work fine, but you would most likely need to boot from a floppy to reinstall LILO. YMMV and be prepared for an alternate method, like the fine one one suggested in the previous post in case this doesn't work.

Instead put the new disk together with the old one in your computer, say on the secondary controller, boot from the old one, partition the new, make a few filesystems, mount them and use tar to transfer the system.

Re: /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm?
On Tue, 29 Jun 1999, Evan Van Dyke wrote: *SNIP* However, I expect I'm the only one who thinks that's the proper approach so, how's this for a solution: Give the /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux directories up as lost causes. Instead, define new directories. Say /usr/include/kernel-asm and /usr/include/kernel-linux. Make THEM symlinks to the appropriate directories in the kernel source tree. I would do this on my own computer, but I don't really get any benefit from it unless everyone else, particularly those who develop modules and whatnot, decides to use the same convention. Therefore, we then attempt to convince people to actually use those directories instead of /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux for the good reasons that we've discussed. If you havn't read the letter by Linux Torvalds that was referred to under this thread within the last few days, I suggest that you do so. I read it. In fact, the message that you quote was primarily in response to that message. I UNDERSTAND the problem. I solved similar problems back 15 years ago when I first started debugging clibs. It's the solution that I find lacking. Too bad you didn't quote the part of my message that was really important: Making my life tougher because it's easier for me to deal with it than Joe Random Luser is NOT AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION! Yes, I can deal with it Joe Random Luser, but I shouldn't have to. The obvious choice seems to be /usr/src/linux/include/linux and /usr/src/linux/include/asmas that is where most people store their kernel source. Why clutter up /usr/include more with kernel-specific headers? The entire point is that the /usr/include/* headers should be kernel-independant after all. Why is that the point? If that's the point, it's a damn stupid one. Look, header files go under /usr/include and /usr/local/include. Since the header files that are kernel specific aren't local to the system, they should be accessible under /usr/include. I should be able to refer to them like that. THAT is what is obvious to me. Why clutter up /usr/include with directories containing kernel-specific headers? Well, why clutter it up with omniORB and ggi and php3? Because /usr/include and the directories underneath are where header files GO, aren't they? Having two sets of files with identical names and nearly identical contents just galls me. What do I care what kernel the glibc maintainer built libc.so.6 on? Why should I keep those files around? The real issue is one that I talked about in my original message: idempotence. While I agree that libc has to know about the kernel calls so that it can wrap them in C-standard functions, it is apparent that glibc, at least, knows far more about the internals of the kernel than is good for it. It is essential that a given version of glibc be able to run on newer kernel versions and on patched kernels. That requires careful design and some foresight, which appears to be lacking in this case. Let's take an example or two from the message from Linus Torvalds: The use of the NR_OPEN constant. The kernel (apparently---I just skimmed over it) uses NR_OPEN to set how many file handles any given task must have. That is, it allocates an array of NR_OPEN struct file * for each task that is forked. (The code is in kernel/fork.c, if you have a mind.) Why does glibc refer to this constant anywhere? The number of files that the kernel allows to be opened doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the number of files glibc allows you to open. I suppose that glibc might put an array of size NR_OPEN in order to hold the file handles, but that's dumb. The ISO C standard says that the constant that defines the maximum number of open files is FOPEN_MAX, and it is far smarter to put your file handle in the FILE struct and declare your FILE array to be of size FOPEN_MAX. #define FOPEN_MAX to be the same as NR_OPEN? Use the same sigset_t for both glibc and the Linux kernel? Yes, you COULD do that, but those things don't necessarily have anything to do with each other, and it is poor practice to use the same abstraction to refer to unrelated things even if they happen to be the same at some point. libc abstractions, what most programs use, are NEVER required to be the same as the kernel abstractions. While I agree that you can work around the problem by requiring that /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux be the contents of the directories /usr/src/linux/include/asm and /usr/src/linux/include/linux on the system used by the builder of the glibc and by requiring that the kernel source must ALWAYS be in /usr/src/linux, but that is not the correct solution. That is a massive kluge needed because people can't seem to be bothered to do things correctly. The correct solution is to eliminate those instances where constants are used for purposes that they have no business being used for. It's like defining the FOPEN_MAX to be sizeof(double)

X modeline conversions
Hi everyone. I'm trying to work out a good modeline for X for 1152x864. The reason I'm doing this is because I was installing some new drivers for my video card under Windows and discovered that my monitor can do 1152x864 at an acceptable refresh rate... I've got the figures from Windows, but I only vaguely understand how they relate to the X modelines, and I can't figure out how to convert them over. Hopefully someone with more experience can point me in the right direction... Under Windows, this is the info I have about the mode: Pixel clock: 112320kHz Horizontal: Frequency: 70kHz Front porch: 64 pixels Sync: 128 pixels Back porch: 256 pixels Negative sync polarity Vertical: Frequency: 78Hz Front porch: 1 line Sync: 3 lines Back porch: 2 lines Negative sync polarity I've tried reading through ESR's XF86 video timings howto, but it wasn't really helpful to my problem. From what I understand, the front/back porch is the time of the rise and fall of the signal, but I don't know how to relate the numbers I have back to anything useful for X. I've found a modeline already existing in the XF86 config which is very close to what I want (1152x864 at 78Hz, but it's 70.8kHz horizontal frequency is just too much for my monitor to handle). If anybody can help, or point me in the right direction, I would be very happy.

Thank you John. At the back of my monitor I have 31.5/35.2/35.5 indicated as the horizontal ranges. /var/log/xdm-errors indeed reported that there is only one mode - the others rejected because the frequency is not correct. After changing my /etc/XF86Config to 31.5-35.2, 35.5 (it was 31.5, 35.2, 35.5) I have more than one mode again. But I do not know whether that may damage my monitor, so I put the original back again for the time being. Can I safely change 31.5, 35.2, 35.5 to 31.5-35.2, 35.5? I would, instead, change it to 31.5,35.1-35.2,35.5. Your monitor should be OK with that, but it won't like anything very far from the fixed frequencies it supports. Something like that works for me. My understanding is that the actual scan frequency is 35.15625 (36MHz dot clock / 1024 dots per row), which is 35.2 to 3 sig. figs. I believe that all that's happening is that some xserver versions check a result calculated to 3 sig. figs. (which matches 35.2), and some use 4 or more (which doesn't). If you look in xdm.log it will tell you why it doesn't like it, which should include the actual horizontal scan frequency required. Any range that includes that rate should work; it's up to you to be happy that it will work for you. Bear in mind that the accuracy of unstabilised, untrimmed quartz crystal oscillators is only between about 0.1% and 1% anyway (waves hands), so in practice the monitor has to have a little leeway built in. In summary, my understanding is that it's programming the exact same scan rate (it is derived from one of the 'standard' clocks (36MHz / 1024 dpl for 'standard' 800x600 mode), so it won't change unless you also change the number of dots per line in the mode definition), but that the new server is applying a more stringent test to your monitor, whose specs simply don't have enough significant figures to pass. Nonetheless, if it worked before it should work now. John P. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oh - I - you know - my job is to fear everything. - Bill Gates in Denmark

Help identify motherboard (486)
Hi all: I've inherited a i486 DX4 from a friend, that's supposed to run at 100MHz. However the computer seems very slow. There's no documentation to the motherboard, and I'm afraid I'm running it with Turbo turned off, and I don't know which pins are responsible for Turbo (they are only marked numerically). Neither can I connect internal speaker. The motherboard has a Socket 3, ALI M1429 A1 chipset, American Megatrends AMIBIOS with inscription 486DX ISA BIOS, 7 ISA slots, 8 slots for 39-pin RAM. The only marking on the board itself is PAT 48 AV - 1.10. It came with an IDE controller card with no identification on it; it supports up to 2 IDE devices + floppy, and has chips with markings UMC UM82C865F on it. It looks like it was bouhg in 1994 or around that time. I'd appreciate any pointers as to where to look for its specs. I'm also interested to know whether there have been any BIOS updates, and BIOS manual too, because I've never had a 486 before... I intend to use it as a firewall. TIA! -- Arcady Genkin ... without money one gets nothing in this world, not even a certificate of eternal blessedness in the other world... (S. Kierkegaard)
firewalls for dummies?
Hi, I am planning to setup a firewall for a public network containing two class C subnets. The machine is a potato box running 2.1.10 compiled with the appropriate firewall stuff turned on. I have studied the various HOWTO's (ipchains, firewall, ...) but I think I am missing something. My preliminary tests have failed. I would really like to get an example of a similar setup from someone that knows better. The current network looks like: X.Y.(116 or 12).xxx upstream router -- switched_hub local_machine_a X.Y.116.254 ||\___ local_machine_b X.Y.12.254 (alias) switched_hub || I would like it to look like: upstream router -- firewall -- switched_hub local_machine_a X.Y.116.254 ||\___ local_machine_b X.Y.12.254 (alias) switched_hub || The local machines have addresses in the ranges X.Y.116.3-252 and X.Y.12.3-252 most of which are unused. There are ~100 used between the two subnets. These are suns, macs, win98/nt pc's, and a few linux machines. The local net machines are set up like: IPADDR=X.Y.12.16 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=X.Y.12.0 BROADCAST=X.Y.12.255 GATEWAY=X.Y.12.254 The one test so far was set up as: upstream router -- firewall -- switched_hub local_machine_a X.Y.116.254^ ^ X.Y.12.254 (alias) | | | | eth0 = X.Y.12.2 | |_ eth1 = X.Y.12.242 Here local_machine_a was configured as: IPADDR=X.Y.12.107 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=X.Y.12.0 BROADCAST=X.Y.12.255 GATEWAY=X.Y.12.242 I put a 1 into /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and set the chain policies all to ACCEPT hoping to create a simple pass-through system. No bytes would go from the inside to the outside or the other way round. It seems like I don't understand the routing system. Do I need to turn on arp for the interfaces (like ifconfig eth0 arp). Also, how is the upstream router supposed to know about the addresses behind the wall? Can anyone point me at a source of examples of this sort. Almost every example I have seen to date is for a private network using the 192.168.x.x series addresses. It seems problematic that my upstream router has addresses on my subnet (I think it is one interface with an extra aliased address). It seems like this is a common situation. I want to insert a firewall in a public network where there is currently a single wire (fiber really). It should be very similar at most university departments. Thanks for listening, any advice is appreciated and naturally I can provide more info, Stuart

Re: Problems with new hardware
I am looking for pointers as to log files that might indicate the problem. It is possible that I have not set everything up exactly right for the motherboard and CPU chip. I am using an IWILL XA100P motherboard with an AMD K6-3 400 CPU, with 256MB RAM. I've got a similar machine. (Epox MB instead of IWILL) And I can't keep my box alove longer than 2-3 days. It just stops completely. Not even the magic SysRQ keys work. :-( I tried to analyze the hardware parts that might be causing this, but so far I had no luck. This morning I took out the TV-card (Hauppauge) to see whether that's the bad guy, but who knows... Nice setup! What video card are you using? I've got a Diamond Viper 550 AGP. What Xserver? SVGA In the mean time, you might want to make sure your video card isn't sharing it's irq with any other devices. Hm, why is that?!? I've got all my PCI/ISA slots filled up, so that some PCI cards have to share IRQs. And my AGP card is always sharing it's interrupt with the first PCI slot, which holds the network card. I would be very surprised to hear that Linux doesn't like shared IRQs?!?

XF86Setup problem
Hi, I've recently totally reinstalled potato, installing first slink development environment and then upgrading to potato, Since then I can't use XF86Setup to change the settings, if I try to change keyboard layout or apply changes, the screen goes black with green stripes for a second and then just goes back to background x gray colour, i can move mouse but I get no windows again and have to kill it. I've tried changing to older version of XF86Setup and also tried doing a completely clean installation in exactly same way but same problem occurs. Has anyone had similar problem and if so what could cause it. I had potato installed before and this didn't occur, just not sure why does it happen now :o( Thanks, I.N.

Cron sent me this error, what does it mean? ... all I can think of is that the machine has spent a few days being switched off before cron started running, so that may have caused havoc since in /etc/cron.monthly/acct there's the line: echo Login accounting for the month ended `date`: /var/log/wtmp.report And today is 1st of month, not End of month.

Connection to localhost:25 refused
I've just upgraded to potato fully, with exim 3.02, and now I can't connect to port 25 on localhost: [root:~] # telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused Obviously, fetchmail now doesn't work, and I can't receive mail via SMTP either. I've checked /etc/exim.conf for anything obvious but I can't see anything blocking connections.

Tcp Wrappers
I'm trying to install Tcp Wrappers on Sun Netra 1125 running on Solaris 2.6. I downloaded the file tcp_wrappers_7.6.tar.gz file from the web. I gzipped and untared this file. I want to use ftp services. So, I tried to edit Makefile. I uncommented the following 2 lines SysV.4 Solaris 2.x OSF AIX REAL_DAEMON_DIR=/usr/sbin Then I saved this file and ran following command make System-Name (ie sunos5) This gave an error message as under make: Fatal error in reader: Makefil, line 47 : Unexpected end of line seen. Can you please tell me what causes this error message? Once I compile this makefile, I can edit inetd.conf file.

Re: Help identify motherboard (486)
Revenant [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I know it's obvious, but I have to ask: Does the BIOS tell you on bootup? It says 486DX-AC-WBu-25/33/40/50-L3-ZZ in the top line of the screen, it also prints: 32MHz CPU Clock just below the BIOS box where it lists all the system info. If my CPU is DX4, does it mean that it multiplies 32Mhz by 4? Thanks a lot, I determined the motherboard manufacturer -- TMC (Taiwan MYCOMP), and apparently the m/b model is PAT 48AV.

isdnutils: vboxgetty to mail?
Hi, obviously, isdnutil's vboxgetty isn't supporting direct mailing of the incoming messages to user(s). However, that is what I'd like to have (skipping vbox) -- is there any nice solution for this around?
