Wow, the forum looks amazing now a days. I'll visit more frequently for sure. Great work Philipp BR Toby

Knoppix is based on Debian. Debian won't read the rc.local even if you create it yourself (don't exist default). You could try this for running scripts/programs just after boot. http://www.desktop-linux.net/debian-rclocal.htm Hope it works for you /Toby

Hi, you could try to use ndiswrapper. It make it possible to use windows-drivers for your nic i Linux. http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ /Toby

It could be a file from a (S)VCD, try open it up with mplayer and see if it works /Toby

That should not be a problem. How is your box secured? If you have a firewall and forward port 21 to your server that usually is not enough since ftp uses at least other port (22? correct me if i'm wrong) for the actuall data transfer. However, why don't you serve the files on your webserver? It would be for the best IMHO. What is the reason for having another (unsecure) service running on your box when the webserver could do the task? I'm on my linux-box right now using mozilla-firebird and I don't see any links so I can't try them myself. Also, make sure you try the links with "passive mode" enabled in IE. If you you use MSN-messenger I could try to help you, my msn addy is in my profile /Toby

Hi, make sure that you allow at least 2 connections for each ip/user since IE uses 2 threads for ftp downloads. Not sure if that is the problem but it could be. /Toby

apt-get install gnome-core Then you can add what apps you want. (not cnucash for now) /Toby

While Partimage is a very good app I would not trust it for restore on a NTFS partition. It may corrupt the data since there is no 100% safe way to write to NTFS in Linux /Toby

Both Ghost and DI will work with bootfloppys you can create. Just install the apps once on a 2k Pro and you can use the floppys on any system. /Toby

This is a long but good read: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treevie...rt4/tcpappb.asp My guess is that you have disabled a service that this driver depends on. /Toby

YES !! All user with an account on the domain will be local admin = VERY BAD THING !! /Toby

Debian gets my vote. It feels faster than both RedHat & Mandrake and I really like the packagesystem. There are LOTS of packages too. I have also used Gentoo and like it, but I just don't have the time to wait for the compiles. A disaster recovery on Gentoo seems like a nightmare building up the OS from scratch. /Toby

The reason for setting it to half duplex is that hubs do not support full duplex. At least they did not 2-3 years ago, I have not seen a hub since then (and i'm glad for it ) And that you brougt your switch from home can still suffer from the same problem. We have Intel nics and 3com switches here at work and have to set them to 100/full duplex on both or the performace goes way down, lots of crc-errors on transfers. No Auto ! Hope you get it to work. /Toby

Set the nics on ALL machines including the server to 10/half duplex. Since the hub is only 10mbps the nics cant do anymore than 10/half duplex. Too many times I've seen nics that don't work with auto-setting to ever use it. Some nic sets itself to 100 or full duplex and make the network to have extreamly bad performace just as you describe. /Toby

What version of Norton do you have on the server? I got NAV Corp both 7 & 8 on different servers and I can open the application by running it from the startmenu and from there do a full scan. The shield is not in the systray but the realtime protection is still active. I downloaded a "testvirus" just to make sure. /Toby

First time I actually bothered to read the releasenotes on the first CD for once There you can read that you can take the fonts (*.ttf) from windows and put them in /usr/share/fonts and then run the command "fc-cache /usr/share/fonts". After that you will have the fonts ready for use (not in OO but I'm looking for a solution on that) Second after some searching on the net I found this info. Go and grab the beta of Mozilla with XFT support for RH8 here: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/experimental/xft/2002-10-03/ Just grab & untar mozilla-rh8-xft-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz to any directory like /usr/local and run /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla. Go back to this forum and check the differens from the bundled Mozilla. Now the font looks great! I actually changed all my shortcuts to this version instead... Try it /Toby

From page: A FAT32 volume must have a minimum of 65,527 clusters. Windows XP Professional can format FAT32 volumes up to 32 GB, but it can mount larger FAT32 volumes created by other operating systems. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treevie...kc_fil_tdrn.asp It don't say anything special about the system-partition but I remember some kind of limitation, I'll search a little more.. /Toby

Better late than never? Both of these are from Phoenix, I took the file libgfx_gtk.so from a Mozilla XFT build and copied it to /Phoenix/components so it renders XFT the same as Mozilla but much more lightwieght. I really got sick of the bloated Moz, it felt like forever to open up the app on my machine. While I think it looks quite good, MS/IE still looks alot better I think... If some of you want the file to use in Phoenix and don't want to grab the whole Mozilla-build, I uploaded it here: http://m1.893.telia.com/~u89302417/libgfx_gtk.so /Toby

Recompile kernel = very easy. In your case the only thing you have to do is to enable NTFS Read Support under File Systems. Read how to compile here: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/custom-guide/ch-custom-kernel.html /Toby

Anyone know if I get an icon like the one i win2k/xp ? I really miss it... /Toby

The fact that most peolple don't now know anything about computers (and don't want to know) is a very good thing. It gives me money in my pocket since I work with it. /Toby

Ok, I'll host it Hope there's some more people who is willing to play, if not we can post it on NTCompatible too. Will update this thread tomorrow with the hostname/ip .. /Toby
