Diskspace usage-any good progs?
by Ricardo Campos 20 May '02

20 May '02

I'm looking for a nice program that displays how much diskspace is used, and how much is left on a particular hard-drive. Something like KDiskFree would be cool, except this is for a gnome-only system, and there's unlikely to be any room for KDE. du gives *slightly* useful results, but perhaps someone has a groovy set of command line parameters that would do this. Yes, I have RTFM. -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

Please respect mail headers.
by Jonathan McDowell 20 May '02

Can people please respect mail headers when replying to posts to the list? My client (mutt) correctly inserts a Mail-Followup-To header that points to the list *and the list alone*, yet I've had at least 3 replies to mails I sent to the list this evening that were either to me alone or copied me and the list. Don't CC me on list posts. I read the list. It's my understanding that this should be default behaviour unless the poster explicitly requests otherwise and given that I explicitly request replies should go back to the list there seems to be no excuse. Thank you. J. -- jid: noodles(a)jabber.earth.li 101 things you can't have too much of : 41 - Tea.

> "df" or "df -h" perhaps? df -h Works a treat. Must go on my list of "really bloody useful commands". Many thanks! Ricardo -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

I realised I had a : and not a ; at the end of my default release line of apt.conf. All seems to be working properly now! ;) God bless BT SurfTime and Demon! ;) -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

Debian testing testing, 123
by Ricardo Campos 19 May '02

19 May '02

I have a new installation of Deb 2.2r3. I wish to move it up to Woody (testing) via good old ftp. I have added the line: APT: :Default-Release "testing"; to my apt.conf file. I have used netselect to get the quickest ftp server to me, which is ftp.demon.co.uk. What exactly do I need to put on my sources.list file? When I do apt-get dist-upgrade I downloaded ssh and that was all? That can't be right! ;) I missing something totally here, I know it. -- Get your free email from www.linuxmail.org Powered by Outblaze

ADSL questions
by Chris Glover 19 May '02

19 May '02

Hi, I have decieded to take the plunge and get ADSL. What I want to know is , has anybody managed to get the PPPoATM module for PPPD to compile? I've tried and can't make the _______ (insert your own expletive here) work. I was wondering about getting the Zyxel Prestiege 645R ADSL router, as that supports PPPoE and I have software for that. Will this do PPPoE to PPPoATM translation? I couldn't find any usefull information on their website. I want to continue using my existing Linux machine as a firewall, as I also want to be able to access it from certain restricted site. What ADSL hardware do you use, and have you made it work with Linux, and how? Thanks in advance Chris Chris *************************************************************************** E Mail Chris(a)glovercc.clara.co.uk WWW http://www.glovercc.clara.co.uk Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject. -Anon

Having tried most of the available clients I can recommend Pegasus. Far more stable than Eudora (which has been known to corrupt active directory), All the features that you could possibly wish for and supports multiple clients either on one machine or can be configured for a network. Best of all, totally free!
