Jeezus, system crashes once a day! Uninstall that
On the same topic, I've recently had a crash in debian -- one that I've
had before in Redhat 4. I've a very funky, self-built system... the crash
is like this (and sometimes its like clockwork):
1. boot with xdm. Log in.
2. to switch to a different terminal.
3. Log in, do my stuff, log out.
4.

I've a new debian installation; and I'm trying to mount music cds. My
system is scsi, and I've a CD-WORM on scd0, and a 24x Pioneer on scd1.
As root, I get the "wrong fs type, bad option..." error when I try to
mount the drives (I get the error and control returns right away on scd1,
but scd0, th
Just fyi, I think I finally did fix my SCSI problem (had a 1 in 3 chance
of booting without the infinite reset errors). The problem was that I
have a device that was incorrectly set to UW instead of U (40 max trans

okay, I've got this adaptec 2940UW card which was a major pain in my a$$
when I installed RedHat 4 on my system a while back. I've just installed
debian, and on startup (from the rescue disk), couldn't load the kernal

The funny thing is, half w

You could write a script like:
/home/foobar/ftp.script:
user foobar foobars_password
lcd /home/foobar
get filename
and then execute it whenyou want, or put it in cron... like this:
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/foobar:

I currently run RH 5 on my P-Pro sys, and I want to switch to Debian.
While I'm doing that, I figure I should also get a few cool programs I've
seen, like KDE, Eterm, the GIMP (the install that comes in RH makes a very
minimally useful program ... but I've seen great things with it, so there
