Folks, Does anyone know of a good FAQ for putting a SCSI CDRW into an otherwise IDE Linux box? Any recommendations for software, and other techniques? This is all new territory for me (SuSE 6.2, BTW). Cheers, Laurie.

Quick laugh

It would appear that we all got the date wrong, someone's well ahead of us: http://www.progressive-comp.com/Lists/?l=php3-general&r=1&w=2&b=200001 Quite impressive that. No doubt a taster for what's to come... James.

Debian updates
by Adam Bower 07 Dec '99

07 Dec '99

Morning all, I have just installed Debian 2.1 on my two machines at home after using Suse for a while and have now discovered the X servers are a little old and don't support my gfx card. I was wondering does anyone have some suitable updates on CD? I was wondering if it would be a good idea to go up to Potato? I know that Potato is considered unstable but no way can it crash as often my 98 box has taken to recently:) Adam [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Has anybody actually tried this yet? I've got a copy of it on the PC Format DVD which I'm happy to bring along to the next meeting if anybody's interested. Also have RedHat 6.1 on DVD which is quite nice.. :) Regards, Martyn -- Martyn Drake - ICQ: #55962636 - Instant Messenger: MartynDrake Systems Administrator, NetDirect Internet Ltd http://www.netdirect.net.uk - http://www.ndo.com "He'd never realized that, deep down inside, what he really wanted to do was make things go splat." -- (Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man) [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Definite Linux
by John Woodard 07 Dec '99

07 Dec '99

I see that the latest Definite Linux is now available to download from: ftp://212.1.130.10/pub/Definite/7.0/ Details at: http://www.definitelinux.com/ Far too big a download for my modem connection. I'd really like to try this as it's a UK specific distro based on Red Hat (which I use). Any of you Uni chaps like to do me a favour and grab me an ISO on your fast connection before the next meeting? Talking of the next meeting has a date been decided yet?

Redhat CD
by Simon Jude 03 Dec '99

Hi, I realise that Debian seems to be preferred by the people on this list, but is there anybody at UEA who could possibly supply me with a redhat 6.whatever CD????

Well, without knowing the address you're subscribed under, he can't do anything. > whoever's in charge of the list, please fix it. I'm in charge of the listserver, so if you can email me offlist with the address you sent the subscription request from, I'll deal with it.

Mandrake logon problems?
by John Woodard 01 Dec '99

01 Dec '99

I just installed Mandrake 6.1 off the latest PC Answers coverdisk. All went well, couldn't tell the difference between that and RH6.0's installer (apart from the total lack of X server setup, expect you're meant to do that after you have a working console). When I get to the standard logon prompt I input root and enter as usual but it doesn't give me a password prompt just another logon prompt, hence I can't get into the system. This is also the case with a normal user and when I try booting from a floppy instead of the hdd (lilo is on the mbr). I can get into a bash prompt by using lilo single but that still gets me nowhere, I tried changing the root password and running lilo again from there. Any ideas? Could the good folks at PC Answers have slipped us a lemon I wonder?
