Take a look at the uid= and gid= options of mount. You can use them in
/etc/fstab as part of your options for these mounts. For example, if group
local's gid is 105, you could have a line something like
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/fat32 vfat uid=0,gid=105,umask=0770 0 0

I use Debian 2.1 with kernel 2.0.36.
I baked a new kernel for use with my AWE64 Soundblaster. In the process it
was adviced to rename /lib/modules/2.0.36 to /lib/modules/2.0.36-old before
installing the new kernel package. After intstalling there was a new
/lib/modules/2.0.36 directory, but essent
in what package can i find ieee854.h ??
thanks

roddie, this time problem i had in slink coincided with the breaking of my
linker. i really don't know WHAT caused it, but every time i used apt to try
to upgrade to potato it broke my linker and my time was messed up. in the

Hi all:
I'm experimenting with utilizing xset's dpms setting to suspend and
turn off my monitor. It works fine if I add a line like this:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset dpms 300 600 900
to my .xsession.
Problem: I would like to go a step further and set this feature to
work even wiht graphical login screen

I have a 6.4Gb drive that has a 1.6Gb primary partition and a 4.8Gb
extended partition. The extended partition has 3 logical partitions,
each 1.6Gb. Linux is on a separate 1Gb drive on the primary IDE slave. I
want to move linux to the 6.4Gb drive. I cleared the files from the last
logical partitio
Hi,
Looking in the potato packages file, I noticed that bsdmainutils
depends on bsdutils(>=3.0-0). The version of bsdutils, in potato,
is 2.9i-1 and recommends bsdmainutils. Per the packages file,
bsdmainutils replaces bsdutils(<<3.0-0). Is this going to break
anything?
Thanks,
Jim
I've just recently purchased a new mouse, and it is supposed to be a
three-button mouse (software configurable), but two problems, 1) they
forgot to include the software, and 2) it does not respond to the "normal"
three button mouse reset codes.
Now, my main problem (I'll be satisfied using it as
