[techtalk] Ghost program for Linux?
Hi and happy Friday to all, Is there a program that I can use to make a master image of my tweaked Linux OS? This would cut my install time down as I am using more than 1 (same HW) PC. Thanks, Davida Without books there is no knowledge. Without knowledge there is no power. Without power there is no freedom. I sense much NT in you, NT leads to bluescreen, bluescreen leads to downtime, downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside, Powerful LINUX is. ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
[techtalk] Modem not being ID
Hello all, Linux Newbe... I am having problems Identifying my Modem. I use Modemtool and select ttys0 Then I use wvdial and it tells me it does not Identify the Modem. I am kind of at a loss, is there a way to check the PCMCIA port is linked to COM 1. Is there a way to check to see if the COM Ports are active. any help would be great.

Unless you did something really strange, you should already have dd. ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
[techtalk] Missing device file
For some odd reason, the device file (/dev/) that drives my tape unit dissappeared and my backups are no longer working. I need to create it again but I am at a loss as to how to proceed. Can anyone help? Samantha ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
Re: [techtalk] Missing device file
which device was it? was it a SCSI device you should be able to do this: % cd /dev % ./MAKEDEV update do a "man MAKEDEV" for more info. if you need to create a specific device, and you know what the major and minor numbers are, you can use mknod: % cd /dev % mknod sda1 b 8 1 the "b" is for "block device", the "8" is the major number, the "1" is the minor. those numbers should be pretty standard, or if you have custom kernal modules installed, they should be part of that documentation. of course, you can check out the man pages there too. the major and minor numbers basically tie the device file to the driver that the kernal makes available. finally, you should do this as root. :) -Alex Yan [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Fri, 9 Jun 2000, Samantha Jo Moore wrote: > For some odd reason, the device file (/dev/) that drives my tape unit > dissappeared and my backups are no longer working.
