Re: VB: boot floppy for Debian

Paul, Thanks to all who responded to this, those who responded to my earlier message. I sent a mail message on this subject about a month ago. I asked why the procedure outlined here failed for me, and the dd of a kernel to the raw floppy that was appropriately rdev'd failed as well. Several fo

Printing from Mozilla

The print command in my Mozilla is: lpr ${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME:+'-P'}${MOZ_PRINTER_NAME} which doesn't work. Is this because I'm using cups? I don't know. How do I need to reedit this so I can print from Mozilla?

How to resize mouse pointer in X ?

Hi ! Some time ago, after doing my weekly apt-get dist-upgrade, I started X and my mouse pointer was much bigger than usual. Since then, I'm trying to make it normal again. I already made sure my X server (>= 4.1.0) runs with 75 dpi. I do not use GPM, the mouse is configured to use /dev/psaux dire

Diagnosing poor performance

Hi all, My laptop has a 4MB vid card, 64 MB RAM, 120MB swap and a Pii 400 celeron processor. I'm running enlightenment with konqueror for file management, galeon for web and evolution for mail. Performance is appalling. Konqueror takes 13 seconds to launch. Galeon takes 10 seconds. Evolution
