heya,
you can certainly mount it. you need support for it in your kernel,
but if you're using the default kernel you already have it.
also, i'd _strongly_ encourage you to mount it in read-only mode.
afaik the linux kernel's support of ntfs in write mode is pretty
sketchy at best.

one thing i'd check is if lilo is configured correctly. for example,
perhaps lilo is set to boot from /vmlinuz (where that is still a symlink

/boot/vmlinuz (as a symlink to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18)?

here's an idea, i don't think it'd be too unfeasable if it hasn't already
been done somewhere. take xvncviewer, and make a port/output-plugin that
instead of or in addition to opening an x-window with an image of the
desktop writes the image it would be displaying to a series of files?

hiya,
i think what you really want is rsync. you can do something like
su webuser -c "rsync -avP /workingdir /livedir"
(a is for preserve time/ownership/etc, vP is for a verbose status
report)
i believe that this way rsync will preserve all attributes except for
ownership, assuming that your we
hey matt,
i feel your pain for X. i've done lots of installations for all kinds
of different machines and people, and the only consistant hitch
has been getting X going. and in most cases, it's because of the
video card being nvidia (when the machine is i386 anyways). it's not
that hard to get

if you made the kernel the debian way, you may have already made yourself
a kernel headers package, take a look in /usr/src. failing that if you

hi there,
could you give us the model of your controller card? also, which

also, there's a mailing list just for italian debian users

hey matt,
i'm have access to a win2k box and don't have said problem, so it's
confusing to say the least :). it might be worthwhile to try and

i think your problem is that the kernel installed by default doesn't
seem to support smbfs. if you're not completely attached to said kernel
and want to join the rest of the 2.4 world, i recommend:
# apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18
you may need to add a line to lilo.conf about initrd (not su
