Does anybody else have problems with receiving mail from dermot(a)higrade.botwritghts.farm? I don't think I've ever received a mail from him. I use fetchmail to download mail from several places, which then delivers to my linux box. This works OK, except for sending domains that don't exist. If the person who sent this could please FIX their email program so that it has their correct email address, it would be much appreciated.

I agree. Not that I'm one to talk, having failed to make ALUG28, but that's not the point. More and more people are starting to become peripherally aware of Linux (I'm helping out a bloke at work, a lawyer (!)), and, as they do so, we'll become a useful resource :-) > One of the main points suggested is to make the meetings regular monthly > affairs.

This is a very good idea, IMHO. I've had an idea for a paper on the idea of Open Source methods for about four months now; if this ever makes it into something approaching a paper rather than an idea of a paper then I'll be happy to deliver it at an ALUG meeting. I will also watch the talk on printing in intense detail, because I can't work it out.

After ALUG28, some of us hung around and discussed where the group should go from here.

There's also still the equally strong conviction (from myself and BJ at least!) that we still need to avoid committee-ism and keep this thing running in the vaguely anarchic Open Source spirit.

Hopefully, this way, we can cover common questions like dialup, printing, sound, desktops, getting started, etc I'm tentatively prepared to do some... can we put a "talks wanted" and a "talks offered" form on the site, Andrew? In the organisation, we need to divide up the major linux publications and websites between us and make sure that all of them get each meeting announcement. If you're up for being an ALUG rep to one or more places, shout now. The other side is to print more posters for each meeting.

Hi Guys, Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Mark Wilkinson, I do RedHat stuff and I live in Peterborough. I'm married and I have 2 kids, 2 cats and a rather stupid dog. Am in the process of (re)building a little p150-base redhat box. In addition to this, I'm looking after 2 other machines, one out on the 'net and another one doing mailserver duty on a client site. Cheers.

Scary X problem
by Adam Bower 09 Apr '00

09 Apr '00

Hi all, I just noticed that when I'm connected to the net and startx a load of data goes out and then in again according to the lights on my modem, I have no great knowl edge of X and would like some pointers to whats happening if possible. I'm running Debian frozen at the moment with a home brew kernel and Ipmasquerade and firewalling setup (I hope fairly securely) I'm just really paranoid though Are there any good sites for info on X? or at least books as the man pages are a bit daunting at the moment. see ya all later 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' ]

Hi all, Just checked http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk and Andrews got the map up. The friendship club is at junction of Yaxely's lane, Pound Lane and Mill road on the top right hand corner of the map.

Alug 6

Hi all, I'm going to cancel the venue for Alug now due to a lack of enthusiasm. If I'm wrong then let me know asap, It's just only two people have muttered anything to the effect that they are coming, Let me know though if its just everyone going on holiday/home in their uni easter break. I'm sorry if I sound pessimistic but it looks as though the current part of the mail archive is broken and everything looks grim.

I'll start by giving you a resume of my computer in case it has a bearing on the trouble I am having with Caldera OpenLinux 2.2. Computer: Packard Bell Executive 200MHz (Upgrade - CenterHauls x86 Family 5 Model 4 Stepping 1 200MHz MMX), S3 (I think) 1Mb Graphic Card, 48Mb Physical Memory, American Megatrends Bios, version 100.05CP0R, dated 4/15/96, 4.3 Gb Hard Drive partitioned by FDisk into 2 equal size partitions - C and D, FAT16. Have no trouble with installing Linux, just rebooting it. Tried several times with PartitionMagic on Linux disk with no success and couldn't partition on D as I wanted, so bought on-line System Commander 2000, it too has, so far, been unsuccessful but there are signs (encouraging?). I was able to partition D, it said Linux is bootable, which it still isn't and also said that I must be sure to select Root Superblock choice - I would, but have no idea where this is located. In both cases, with PartitionMagic and System Commander, when I try to reboot Linux, it goes to the first OpenLinux page that I first saw when I installed it, with Boot at the top and (sometimes) a second line, but the next thing ALWAYS happens! It boots back to the opening Bios first-page. What am I doing wrong or is some part of my equipment not compatible with Linux? If you need other info, let me know, and I will do my best to supply it. Thanks, I hope you can help me solve this, all I wanted to do is to have a look at Caldera Linux!.

ALUG6 Debian?
by Green J M K 06 Apr '00

OK so the question has to be asked: Can someone bring along the latest Debian code? If 2.2 isn't out by the day, can someone master a cd of the latest unstable? The thought of installing "Slink and a half" then upgrading to unstable over a weekend doesn't settle well in my stomach. Needs to be CD - I'll not have my PC. James.

Hope to come to your next ALUG meeting if possible. I live in Beccles, Suffolk and are urgently in need of Linux help. If I bring my computer and leads, what else do I need to bring? Monitor, etc. (I only have a small car!). I'm a computer-mad OAP, but absolutely clueless with Linux. If anybody lives near to me I would very much appreciate help and I would, of course, pay for your trouble, I shouldn't imagine, for an expert, it would take long.
