My main issue is using snapshots to backup a system implementing LVM2.
I'm using LVM2 on a testing server, using ReiserFS as the filesystems
for the partitions. The system is running 2.6.15-1-k7 as the kernel.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi all,
The debian-installer allows to format disks using LVM, but it doesn't offer
the opportunity to use striping. Is there a way I can do this during the

I have a successful setup of internal ddns.
It works like a champ for 99% of what I need.
The problem is assigning static leases through dhcpd.
To be complete, here is some information that may com in useful:
Client:
uncommented line in /etc/dhclient.conf to
send host-name "3800-dc";
Quick question about the two files mentioned above.
If I change my hostname, I also have to change a line in
/etc/dhclient.conf to update my hostname on the network.
Is there a Debian Way to synch both of these files?
Or should I create a script that creates the /etc/dhclient.conf at
boot befor
That's what I had to do. I use m4 to create the dhclient.conf file on
boot.
Thanks for the info. What is m4?

I have need of connecting to a Cisco VPN server.
On windows I can use the cisco VPN utility just fine; so it is not a

I have installed kvpnc and vpnc, so I should have all the packages I

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, please.
1). I believe if you re-run the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, there should
be a section where it asks you which modes your monitor can display,
if you choose either medium or advanced.
2.) Another method is to copy your XF86Config-4 file to

I believe after you modprobe, to switch back to the installer try (Alt-F1).
This should switch you back to the original console.
Hope this helps.

when you start your X session, by default a log file is created at
/var/log/XFree86.0.log
type mv /var/log/XFree86.0.log /var/log/XFree86.0.log.ol
try the nv driver, or even the vesa driver, both of those should do you fine.
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
if you have xfree86, not sure about xorg though.
