Why not just ask someone with the same laptop what their partition
table looks like and fix yours with fdisk?

Your default keymap is in /etc/kbd/ and other keymaps are in
/usr/share/keymaps/
Make a new keymap based on /etc/kbd/default.kmap.gz
`loadkeys yourfile`

Oops. I'm out of date. If you're more modern than I am, it's in
/etc/console-tools/.
I finally have my laptop repaired. Yay! So I'm finally sorting out
how to make it use less power.
* I tracked down mobile-update and installed it.
* I set my noatime on all my filesystems.
* I installed noflushd, but now I'm wondering why.
My BIOS settings let me set spindown & sleep time
noflushd (versio 1.8.1-1) spins down my hard drive even when it hasn't
been idle for long, and it always spins it back up exactly 20 seconds
later.
I'm having a tough enough time getting other programs to stop hitting
the drive and let it go to sleep. I don't need that kind of attitude
from nofl
Does anyone have noflushd working properly? It always spins my disk
back up a few seconds after spinning it down.
noflushd writes to /var/log/daemon.log on spindown. Could that be
the problem? syslogd does buffer that log file (and most others).
Is there any way to find out which process is a
My Sony VAIO uses a NeoMagic NM2200 for the sound, and although I
don't have anything else to compare it to, I think the MP3 compression
generally causes more distortion than the hardware.
Try to get a big hard drive though. Mine is 6.5GB, and that's really
not much when you start loading on mus

I keep hoping someone will make a driver for the audio control buttons
that plug in near the headphones. I downloaded the kernel hacking
guide yesterday, but I'm just kidding myself; I don't have time

Yes, on all but the mail log (which only gets hit when I send mail

My Sony VAIO PCG-838 came with a little widget that plugs into the
headphone jack and into the small odd-looking data port next to it.

All you really need is the latest SVGA server binary.

It's also not true. I have a 100baseT PCMCIA card. I haven't tried
measuring the actual throughput, but it's definately much faster on a
100baseT network than a 10baseT ne
