You can use diff <file1> <file2>.

FYI If the windows filesystem is NTFS, you will not be able to write to it. Linux only mounts the NTFS in read-only and cannot be changed even with a remount.

Where are your home directories? You will need room there. Also, you need room in /tmp for the mcop entries if you are using a Mandrake installation. The answer to your question then is &quot;maybe&quot;.

You should use mgetty instead of the obsolete agetty. The command is similar, but mgetty is designed for modems, agetty was a catchall. The command would be: d1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty /dev/ttyS0 DT57600.

You cannot write to an NTFS files system even if you remount it in rw mode. I am told it is either a bug in Linux or (I believe this to be more likely), a problem with security in NTFS file systems. NTFS can be mounted and files can be copied off however which may provide an avenue for the...

Superuser. Gives the file more permissions rather than the owner or group.

Go through the installation in non-graphic mode and install the os. You can set the H-sync and V-sync after the install is complete.

IBM hds are notorious for motor problems. Thats why they no longer make drives themselves. If the motor has failed, it may not be possible to get the data back without sending it to a data recovery service. One suggestion, BUT BE CAREFUL because it only works if it is the motor, is we have...

To test it, start sshd manually with a -p222 option. sshd -p222.

You should check your print queue. The jobs are probably still there. lpstat -t or lpstat -a will diplay the queue. If there are jobs pending, you should cancel them, restart lpd, then send a fresh job. lpstat will tell you the status of the latest job and if any errors occured. You can...

What's your gateway? How are you connected? Need more info on the method of connection and hardware to the outside.

You need to cat the id_dsa.pub into the authorized_keys of the machine where you want the connection. So, if server1 wants to connect to server2, cat id_dsa.pub from server1 to the authgorized keys of server2. If the server is behind a firewall, you can redirect a port from the firewall to the...

Any firewall rules running? Sounds like the requests are being blocked. Can you telnet to yourself on the address of the card not working?

Killall mozilla-bin will issue a kill and usually clean up processes.

We use a Celeron 1.3gHz on an AOpen MX36LE mother board in an atx case. The only issue is that it uses PXE boot. The way to circumvent this is to go to www.rom-o-matic.net and create a boot image for the built-in nic. The image will kick up etherboot to alleviate the pxe problem. Tftp, ltsp...
