I wasn't at the IF, so I don't know the details of your setup. Are you trying to access via dialup (modem) or DSL?

Can we assume Pine /works/? It just can't send messages onto the Internet because of problem #1? Or is there anything else wrong with it? ;^) > 3) My 'touch pad' doesn't work under Linux. Is this a touchpad, like the 'mouse' interface on some laptops? Or more like a tablet that you use a stylus on (e.g., a Wacom pad?) I'd be surprised if it's your mouse, as that would be a pretty hard thing to miss at an IF, unless time was running out and you had to pack up with whatever was done, without testing. :^) Or, I guess maybe you could have had an external mouse (or maybe you have a laptop that has BOTH a little nubby mouse control thing, AND a touchpad... I've seen those recelt.y) > To solve issue #2, I decided to buy an external A drive, but I don't > think it will work on Linux in the current situation. Ah, yes, sounding more like a laptop. :^) I'm not sure how external laptop drives are handled (under Linux _or_ Windows). :^( Is it possible to get your files onto your Windows paritition, and then use Windows to upload them once they're there? (Unfortunately, I don't think Windows can read Linux partitions... however, Linux can read and write Windows parititions, although I've heard lots of dire warnings about writing to NTFS, which I guess might be used on WinNT, Win2K and WinXP..right?) That could be an interim solution, until you can get network and/or the external floppy drive working. Good luck! -bill! _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
