I'm trying to get KNOPPIX installed on my nice new Raptor. :)

I've got the Promise SATA150 TX4 controller. Driver source: http://www.promise.com/support/file/driver/2_SATALINUXSRC1.00.0.8.zip

I've been up and running with this system since May. No major problems to report. I have Debian 3 installed with an SMP kernel, but lately, I've been spending way too much time in Windows.

I'd...

Sony CD Extreme is the Sony-branded version of Prassi's burning software. I have a link to Sony's site in Thailand that offers the CD Extreme install file. I tested the link a few...

jigdo is just an easier, potentially smarter, means of downloading large ISO images. jigdo just downloads each individual file for the CD and then builds the ISO image for you. After you've got the...

If you have a high-speed Internet connection, I'd highly recommend building your own Debian ISOs with jigdo. Check out http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/ for all of the goods. Remeber, you can keep...

I used MP3SB (http://www.igalaxie.com/ltt/mp3/) on a Dell P166MMX with 48MB RAM for a few months earlier this year. With the MP3s on another drive, I fit the OS (Debian), the custom mpg123, and the...

... automagically, as a part of the install. Everything has been fine since.

There is a round-about way that should get most "unsupported" IDE controller working under Linux. I used to have to...

Have any of you tried Debian's jigdo (Jigsaw Download, I believe)? This wonder lets you download the individual files of the latest (3.0) Debian distribution and creates CD or DVD ISO images for...

If you've got the "-4M" version of the Tiger MPX, your USB should be fine. Most/all original MPX boards had problems with the onboard USB1.1 ports, hence the USB 2.0 add-in cards. I would imagine...

My experiences with FreeBSD thus far (it is one of 5 OSes I am currently multi-bootinf off of one hard drive :)) ...

An SMP system will feel more responsive, as the kernel will try to balance the overall load between the CPUs. Any code that is not multi-threaded will not tie up both processors. I don't know if...

I moved to Debian after learning that Mandrake 8.2 doesn't like my dual Athlon set-up too well. Woody has been running strong ever since. After a little bit of leg work, I've gotten and SMP kernel...

Doesn't that mean that the original file (samba.server) does not exist in the first place? Maybe you need to use the full path for samba.server.

Try downloading the file again just to make sure.

If I remember correctly, you will have an execuateble fine after you gunzip and untar. You *might* have to change the permissions such that the...

In case anyone hasn't noticed, ALL versions of Windows will impose their way on the MBR if given the opportunity. Since, most BSD/Linux/other operating systems are nice enough to give you an option,...

I guess there's always one in the bunch. I've come to spoil the thread. :)

See where he "left half of the [disk] empty"? I'm taking that to mean he created one partition for WinXP that consume 50% of the total HD.

I installed Gnome2 yesterday on my Woody install. It *looks* as if some other WM (maybe twm?) is running in the background for Gnome. So, everything Gnome starts actually has its own window...

I don't know what nVidia claims to offer with its Linux drivers (in terms of 3D acceleration), but I at least have my Debian 3.0 box running "TwinView" with my GeForce2MX card via 2 VGA outputs.
