I'm using Vector Linux-5.8-SOHO-FINAL release on a Dell Optiplex 260 with 1 GB of RAM. Vector is based on Slackware.

My printer is an H-P Laserjet 4. It worked just fine under Windows and under...

I'm running Debian Etch with KDE 3.5. The installation is roughly 5 months old.

I started up my computer today (a P-IV with 1 gig of RAM) with my heart set on listening to some internet radio...

I'm behind a hardware firewall (i.e. router), and I cannot seem to get port-forwarding set properly for this anonymizing program to do its thing properly. The instructions on the TOR pages are not...

I have about 90 files in one directory whose 3-character extensions I need to change. How can I bulk-rename files, either in KDE or in the terminal?

Hmm, I looked in /dev/ in both Konqueror and terminal. I found sda, sda1, sda2, and sda5 (?!) (my external hard drive is running).

Other people have given me different methods of mounting unseen...

So, how should the command syntax read if I am trying to mount both partitions of device SDA1 (The external FAT32 hard drive)? What should I expect to see?

I purchased an H-P model 4600 USB scanner. it ain't pro-grade, but it's good for general-purpose scans and I do like the see-through "viewfinder" feature which permits me to see esactly what I'm...

This issue is no lie. I know better than to waste your time or my own on pointless trolls.

I originally addressed this issue in a thread called "Case of the Missing Partition"...

Here's what I got with the command you recommended:

debian:/home/[username]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders...

I cannot get my computer, which is running Debian Etch, to read the second partition on dual-partitioned Windows 98 hard drives (FAT 32). This happened both on my beige-box PIII and my current Dell...

System: Dell Optiplex GX-260, 2.3 Ghz P-IV, 1GB RAM, 80 gig Seagate HD, Debian Etch, latest stable version.

Printer: H-P Laserjet 4, connected via parallel port, between 2 systems (my Linux box...

Sounds interesting. Where does one acquire Vector?

Sounds interesting. Where does one find this distro?

Thank you muchly for your post. You've clarified matters a lot for me.

I just had a thought. My old machine had an older motherboard with only USB 1.1 built into it. I bought an aftermarket USB...

Thank you for the reference.

What does one do if one already has Linux (in my case, Debian Etch) installed on what its now the master hard drive, and wants to install Windows (Windows 2000) on an...

I wanted to avoid having to do the dual-boot number. VMWare looked attractive - until I found out that it cost as much as my (legitimate) copy of Windoze XP. CEDEGA is strictly for gaming, and you...

Lots of interesting suggestions. Thank you to everyone who's posted so far.

I am a recovering Windows user.

Since there is no GUI in the Linux version of FLAC, I need to know how to use the command line interface. The "manual" accessible via the command line is very...

Which ones would you recommend if not Fluxbox (fine for experienced Linux users but might freak out a Windoze user!)

I've tried Ubuntu on my old PIII (I've since upgraded to a P4 with 1 GB of RAM) and - it's busted. Lots of things just never worked properly, or with one another. Then again, it could have been the...

I have a friend who's got a 450 Mhz Celeron II with 256 MB of ram. A pretty skinny machine, which currently runs Windoze 98 2nd ed.

My friend wants to try out Linux (mostly out of frustration with...

My current machine is a 1 Ghz PIII with 512MB of RAM. I've run it as a dual-boot machine by way of what some here might consider to be a heavy-handed technique.

My machine has one of those...

Um, won't you please refresh my memory as to what exactly I'm supposed to type in? I seem to have misplaced my notes.

BTW, what does the hex code at the bottom of your postings stand for?

Here's what I got with K3b:

-$ find: /dev/.static: Permission denied

Audacity starts normally. The other chmods must have worked.

All this was done without going into super-user mode.

Here's what I got:
