Re: New info on how to install your laptop
It's quite a useful document, certainly. I've only got one comment on it, which is to explain what the changes are that are being made: i.e. disabling tcp listening for X means that you can't run remote X sessions from the machine blah blah, but that crackers can't blah blah. It just makes it clearer as to what's being done, so people won't disable features they actually need/rely on. e.g. on my (non-portable), I use and rely on being able to run a remote X session from my machine, so I know not to disable it. I guess that the people reading the document won't know exactly what they're doing when they're following it (if they did, they wouldn't need it in the first place, I'd have thought ;), so a full explanation would be useful for them. Just my 2p's worth, Gareth

Are you ssh'ing from a box without X running (or from one of the virtual terminals)? This question doesn't have anything to do with PowerPC, so you'd do better to ask it on a more appropriate mailing list, such as debian-user.

Take a look at http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/#it for a list of Italian CD vendors. Teramo LUG say they sell PPC CDs.

I had to boot the Mac OS 9 cd and do a disk partition through that before linux would see it.

Audio Problems on an iBook
Hi, I've got an iBook which every so often seems to go a bit haywire in the audio department. When I open the lid, so the machine comes out of suspend, most times everything's fine. Every once in a while, I'll get a load of static come out of the left speaker. Other times, it seems that the microphone comes on (afaict it doesn't work at other times :/) at full gain and gets into a feedback loop. In eith case the only option is a reboot. Is this a problem with the audio drivers or is it more likely to be a hardware issue? The machine's a new (bought just before Christmas) 12.1" iBook with one of those horrible softmodems.

All of them at really inopportune times e.g. library, on a bus... Maybe if you tried opening your TiBook when it would be really embarassing for it to be noisy, it might just happen :/ One thing someone else mentioned - I also have esd running. Last time it happened, I tried muting the sound (I run gtkpbbuttons) and it went haywire - it started flipping states between muted and unmuted as quickly as it could. I put it down to this keyboard's infrequent ability to "stick", so you have to press the key again to get it to stop. If there's anything I can do in the meantime to try and trace the problem further, let me know. Gareth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: possiblity that usb<->serial converter works?

I have a GPS running through a PL-2303 serial<->USB adapter. It works flawlessly. I just point to /dev/ttyUSB0 and it appears to the app as a standard serial port, so should work fine with gnokii.
