Want Debian mail pkg to replace MsOutlook (to MsExchange)

1999-05-13 Thread simonst
Is there a Debian mail package that can talk to an MsExchange server? If so, I could stop using Win95 MsOutlook97, and leave Debian up full time at work.

FW: R: 10Gb drive - only 8Gb accessible

1999-04-27 Thread simonst
For my new 8.4gb hard drive, I placed the Win95 partition at the front, and Windows FDISK thinks there are 1023 cylinders. Linux knows about the full 4088 cylinders, via LOADLIN boot parm "HDA=4088,64,63". Now both systems boot ok, and I don't have to use MaxBlast. > -Original Message- >

1999-04-23 Thread simonst
I used to boot the kernel directly off a floppy (created via "dd if=vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 bs=512"). After increasing memory to 96mb, I now boot a dos diskette containing LOADLIN.EXE and the kernel. The AUTOEXEC.BAT contains 1 line: loadlin vmlinuz mem=96m hda=4088,64,63 root=/dev/hda2 Ther

Are you referring to the special (type x'12') Compaq diagnostic partition on the hard drive? When I moved to a larger drive on my Compaq Deskpro2000, I had to define/load the partition using several boot diskettes downloaded from www.compaq.com (your model may require different versions): SP8

Re: Convert FAT32 to FAT16 with windows 98

1999-03-29 Thread simonst
FAT32 does not appear to be just a new partition type, which can coexist with FAT16 & Linux partitions. Both utilities I tried (Win95 FDISK & Maxtor Maxblast) required either all FAT32 or no FAT32, and Linux FDISK was then unable to add any Linux/FAT16 partitions, once there was a FAT32 partition.

RE: SLOW boot disk - missing 'compact' option?

I had the same thing happen: 5+minute load for some boot floppies, others ran 'normally' (<60 seconds). Is this what the LILO "COMPACT" option addresses? -- From: Hogland, Thomas E. To: debian-user@lists.debian.org; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: SLOW boot disk? Date: Wednesday, Februar

Problem solved when I rebooted (I forgot that I hot-swapped in the color monitor). Now colors are showing up per usual.

RE: What does netdate want back from udp-37 server?

1999-02-12 Thread simonst
The server 'send' command references the incoming ip-port address, and completes successfully, but no, I'm not exactly sure that the datagram makes it back to the Debian box. Is there a simple way for me to verify that a datagram came back (i/o count or something)? -- From: Jens B. Jorgen

What does netdate want back from udp-37 server?

1999-02-12 Thread simonst
I'm trying to write a mainframe (MVS) timserver (udp-37 only). I test it with a Debian 2.0 cmd "netdate udp ", which sends a 1-byte 0x0A message. My server sends back a 32-bit unsigned number (# of seconds since 1900-01-01, per RFC868), but the Debian netdate command times out. 1. Why doesn't t
