Hello!!!
ENGR.GEORGE MBA. DIRECTOR, MINERALS & NATURAL RESOURCES, SOUTH AFRICAN MINISTRY OF MINING & MINERAL RESOURCES, (SMMR) PRETORIA, REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA Sir, It is my pleasure to write you this letter on behalf of my colleagues. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in executing of a deal hereunder for the benefit of all parties, and hope you will keep it confidential because of the nature of this business. I am the Director of Mineral and Natural Resources of the South African Ministry of Mining and Mineral Resources (SMMR) and I have the co-operation of two other top officials, we have in our possession an overdue payment in US funds. The funds represent some percentage of the contract executed on behalf of my ministry by a foreign firm, which we over-invoiced to the amount of US$15,500,000.00 (Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars.) Though the actual contract cost has been paid to the original contractor, leaving the excess balance unclaimed. Since the present Government is determined to pay foreign contractors all debts owed, so as to maintain good relationship with other governments. As a result we include our bills for approvals with the co-operation of some officials at the Federal Ministry of Finance. We are seeking your assistance as the Beneficiary of the unclaimed funds, since we are not allowed to operate a foreign account. We hereby propose that, should you be willing to assist us in this transaction your share as compensation will be 30% while my colleagues and I receive 60% and 10% for miscellaneous expenses. This business itself is 100% safe, provided you treat it with utmost confidentiality. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint us. Kindly notify me by Email for further details, upon your acceptance of this proposal. Best Regards, Engr. George Mba

OK. apt-get -d install libc6 would get libc6 into your package cache, then your install from the CD should be able to use that rather than the copy on the CD. derek

Compiling the kernel - and losing my modules
Dear All, When I compile a new kernel, my modules disappear. Before, I have a fairly normal selection of modules: After, nothing: To compile the kernel, I follow instructions (e.g. from /usr/share/doc/kernel-source-2.4.18/debian.README), like this: # mv /lib/modules/2.4.18 /lib/modules/2.4.18-save # cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18/ # make menuconfig # make dep # make-kpkg clean # make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image # dpkg -i ../kernel-image-2.4.18_custom.1.0_i386.deb // dpkg then asks me various questions about my boot manager (LILO). /etc/lilo.conf and the relevant files in /boot are all updated. # shutdown -r now The boot messages include a lot of "Can't locate module XXX" messages. What is going wrong? There must (?) be something simple amiss which means the modules aren't where the machine excpects to find them: non-standard file locations? Should I add command line options or environment variables? This is standing between me and alsa, pcmcia and probably a few other things. Best wishes, Ivan

Libretto
Hi I've asked some of the SuSE and RedHat folks about and all that came back were helpful replies to the effect that I was more or less wasting my time with those distributions if I wanted to use Linux with a Toshiba Libretto 100CT. I've seen quite a few Librettos working with Debian Linux and so thinking that there shouldn't be a problem with that I thought I'd write to this list. Can anyone suggest which boot floppies to use to get the PCMCIA based CD-Rom and floppy drives to work so that I can install Debian into my Libretto ? -- Thanks Richard www.sheflug.co.uk

I don't use the symlinks in / so I have to set up lilo.conf by hand. Check your lilo.conf and make sure you are booting the kernel you think you are. Be sure to run lilo to catch changes to lilo.conf. jim > Best wishes > > Ivan > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Sharp SPAM [marketing@sharpsystems.com: Special Price Offer for Select Sharp Systems Products]
It appears that Sharp Systems systematically spammed writers to the Debian-Laptop list, which certainly is an abuse of the debian lists. (they did not spam the list, so they don't directly violate the anti-spam rules of debian though) The spam arrived 12. Aug 2002. I was spammed shortly after posting there about LCD screens, and a few other posters confirmed my assumption that this resulted to that spam. The SPAM contained correct headers and was properly addressed, mailserver was gatekeeperil2.sharpsec.com, which is registered to sharp as well. It even refers to a probably correct Sharp Freecall number (although i do not live in the USA, so i can't call it) I did NOT request any information from Sharp, especially not about LCD screens (why should i buy an LCD screen in the States, where i have to pay shipment to Europe, when i've got a 1600x1200 LCD in my non-Sharp fine notebook?) It's a shame that a compaby i though once as a major player relies on such dodgy - and in many countries ILLEGAL - methods of annoying potential customers. Guess i'll drop them into my filter list, or wait for them to spam me again, then sue them. Greetings, Erich Well, i hope this public complaint and discredit, which most probably be kept in the archives on the net for a long time will make them stop doing such inpolite things and reconsider their marketing strategies...

BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
CAPT. PAUL DIMANGO. TEL. 27 73 234 9108. FAX 27 72 486 3248. Dear Sir, URGENT INVESTMENT OFFER I know you will be surprise to receive this email from me, but please this letter is a request from someone in dare need of assistance. I Capt. PAUL DIMANGO from Angola, a personal aide to the late Jonas Savimbi of UNITA Angola who was ambushed and killed on Friday 22 of February 2002. I got your name and address from a business desk chamber of commerce and industry in Johannesburg South Africa. I decided to solicit for your business assistance to transfer the sum of US$26. 5 Million (Twenty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only) from my Boss safe deposit into your personal or company's account. Before the death of Jonas Savimbi, I was in charge of overseeing his personal finances and the up keep of his family expenses. I have access to most of the money he starched away in a private security firm in South Africa. This was made possible because he entrusted me with the authority to use my name in depositing these funds, which he realized from the sales of Diamond in Angola. This is to avert any suspicion prior to when this money will be used for the purchase of Arms and Ammunitions. Before his death I received on his behalf a payment of US$26.5 Million (Twenty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Unites State Dollars ) in cash, which I deposited in a vault of private security company here in Johannesburg, South Africa but I deposited the funds as Diplomatic Archival Antique? this I did for my security. I am now living in South Africa, as a political Asylum seeker because the situation in my country is not safe for me to go back as there is bound to be serious power tussle and the fate of UNITA the organization that my late Boss was the head before he was killed. I have made up my mind to divert this money and to make a living out of it, since my former boss and I are the only people who have the knowledge about this last payment. Regulatory law of South Africa does not permit asylum seeker certain financial rights. In view of this, I cannot invest this fund in South Africa hence I am seeking your assistance to move out this money out of South Africa to a foreign country for investment purpose which you are going to be the investment manager. For your assistance and effort, I am prepared to offer you 20% of the total fund while 5% will be set aside for any incidental expenses that will be incurred on the course of this transaction and also we are going to donate 5% to the Charity Organization in your country. Please note that this transaction is 100% risk free as I have made adequate arrangement with a bank Director here that will assist us in moving out the money through a Bank network. The major thing I demand from you is assuring me safety of this money when it finally gets to you. Further information and arrangement will commence as soon as trust; confidence and good working relationship is established between us. I shall be most grateful if you maintain the confidentiality of this matter. Please confirm your interest via above telephone and fax numbers. And your urgent reply will be highly appreciated. Best regards, CAPT. PAUL DIMANGO.

I've worked with a handful of the small models (70 and 50, I think). If anyone knows how the 100 differs from these then they're welcome to chime in. Because of the arrangement that prevents the 50 from booting via CD, and from speaking to a floppy and a CD at the same time, I found it easiest to simply take them apart, mount the drive at another system[*] and load them up there. You must leave the reserved room for your hibernation. LILO didn't like the geometry it got when LILO'd at a desktop, but loaded properly back in the libretto, it was easy to use Tom's Rtbt (http://www.toms.net/rb/) and chroot in to re-run /sbin/lilo.

If there exists a boot floppies set to point you straight at the net. and you can use ether and floppies at the same time, I'd say that's your best bet. Failing that, the complete floppies set can load Base on your system, but Base may not include pcmcia... Note that you don't actually need cardmgr to use pcmcia services though, it can be sufficient to have the modules, and modprobe them yourself. Then you get to ifconfig for yourself too. I think I've seen people describing using parallel link installs but I've never done it that way. > -- > Thanks > > Richard > www.sheflug.co.uk Enjoy your new libretto, they're cute little beasties. -* Heather Stern * star@ many places...
Upgrading Alcatel SpeedTouch Home to a Pro Version
If anyone is using a Speed touch home and upgraded to a Pro version , please let me know. I am using http://www.sateh.com/hacks/alcatel.php for the tutorial . What password do you put in for EXPERT. I don't understand what and where you get the EXPERT password from. I am only using the speed touch home , and turn it into a pro. Step One - Get the EXPERT password You need to make a change to a setting that is only available in the modem's EXPERT mode. This mode is protected by a password that you can retrieve using this script. http://security.sdsc.edu/self-help/alcatel/challenge.cgi. and does it works? How do you use the script ? Shaun Bokowski
