We use the following list. Use spamcop at your own discretion, we have
had to disable it for various clients due to (mainly) bigpong getting

Re: [SLUG] Arkeia Performance
Can you give us some info on your setup? CPU, memory, file system layout, SCSI card, tape drive, etc... How many machine being backed up, total size of all data, stuff like that.

Re: [SLUG] mozilla thunderbird, mime, and ms outhouse
yes I get the same crap its caused when some dopey user has the default setup on "outbreak" (outlook) to send mail in Richtext instead of plain text or html...What happens the attached file is encapsulated in a file usually named winmail.dat and you need a TNEF stripper program to strip the attachment out of the winmail.dat file. I get these every now and again and Ive written a shell script and tell the users to dump it on the desktop and click on the file the shell script then changes the winmail.dat file usually into a pdf file. Although lately Ive told the email server to strip the file out of any attachment called winmail.dat with the tnef program and to replace the attachment with the resulting file (usually a pdf) so far so good.

Where to put what (swap > files etc) and the best way to install ie what first. Well there's a million answers to this one... I'd probably partition /dev/hda as 2 FAT32 partitions, Install Win98 on the first, Win 2K on the second... fiddle until you get that right, maybe checking with knoppix to make sure stuff is on the partition you expected. Once done, especially if the BIOS has a boot from SCSI option, or the controller can do it stick / on the 4GB drive along with say 512MB of swap (you didn't tell us your RAM capacity, usually swap=2xRAM roughly). Then put another 512MB of swap on the 8GB drive and also the /usr and /home partitions for example. As for boot loader options well I'd try for plain old /dev/hda plus make a boot floppy if/when it asks. Alternately you may try the first sector of the / partition - if it fails you have the floppy which will work - plus knoppix if the floppy fails ;-) Now for X, the video card you have is putting it bluntly... crap by today's standards so you're not going to be happy playing games on it. You should manage to get 1024x768 at 8bits/pixel depth (256 colours), start with that for the initial config. You can always backup the /etc/X11/XF86Config file and try reconfiguring later. Or if it's just for a server forget all of the above and just don't install the GUI and don't select "start in Graphics" if/when it asks. All the stuff here applies to Generic Linux Distributions, I don't pretend to know enough about Debian and Knoppix insalls to advise specifics. -- -- Electronic Hobbyist, Former Arcadia BBS nut, Occasional nudist, Linux Guru, SLUG/AUUG/Linux Australia member, Sydney Flashmobber, BMX rider, Walker, Raver & rave music lover, Big kid that refuses to grow up.
