Ok.. so recently I moved photoblog.com off a old crappy server that had cpanel on a nice server that doesn't run cpanel. So I needed a system for virtual hosting for emails mainly. I've setup postfix+mysql+courier before and courier can be a GIANT bitch. So I looked into dovecot and was very happy.

 

So lets start off.. lets download PostfixAdmin. As of writting this you can use the following since its the current version

Quote:Debian adheres to a strict interpretation of what is Free Software and what isn't. The Firefox logo is trademarked, so Debian doesn't consider it to be Free and will not include it as part of its distribution. Mozilla claims that using the Firefox name without the official branding is a trademark violation. Furthermore, Mozilla claims that if Debian runs any patches to the version of Firefox included with Debian distros, it has to run them by Mozilla first for approval. What all this ultimately could mean is that the Firefox name is wiped from the face of Debian and its offshoots. Debian developer Eric Dorland confirmed to internetnews.com that Debian will re-name Firefox and that the re-naming process could be completed as soon as next week.

Hello Everyone, I'm new to linux and new to the forums, I'm a mac fan, and have a PC that's running winblows when it should be running linux. So i'm here to learn. :)

So, I've downloaded a couple sweet screensavers that I would love to get working. One is smoothslidesaver and the other is kcometen3.

 

I've done this so far:

 

hi all,

 

well i've started a sister site, [/url][url=http://www.windows-noob.com/forums]http://www.windows-noob.com/forums and hopefully some of you can also help out there,

 

to see what the new site is about read this post

 

I'll spend the next few days moving the windows content from here to there, where it should be !

 

cheers !

Some colleagues and I (all of us Linux newbies), are currently involved in a non-profit project which involves rebuilding donated computer systems, to be given to underprivileged members of society.

 

In order to avoid licensing hassles with Wholly Incredibly Nasty Dreary Old Wasteful Systems, we decided to use and install a Linux OS. After much experimentation with the available distros we finally settled on a Slackware based OS.

 

We have reconfigured the distro with the latest packages and kernel, installed Bootsplash screens, a KDE front end, HAL and Udev, wheel mice and so on, in order to make it as attractive and user friendly as possible - bearing in mind that most of the people receiving the computers will be novice users.

 

We have spent much time tweaking the system so that everything works really, really well.

We have configured it with a single very attractive user account, along with the root account.

 

We now wish to take this HDD installation, with all of the account details, desktop settings, modifications and tweaks, and turn it into an installable CD that we can use on a variety of hardware.

 

Our problem, (remember we're newbies) is that we are unsure of exactly how to do this.

Information available on the web is conflicting at best, or does not address what we are trying to do.

 

How do you convert this installed operating system into an installation CD, whilst retaining all of these pre-configured settings, so that 'tweaking' the new computers is extremely minimal or not necessary?

 

Would the account settings, desktops etc have to be saved into a special file that could be injected into our customised slackware install CD?

 

Has anyone done this? Is there a step-by-step guide that anyone knows of? - Any help you can give would be much appreciated.

 

Thank you very much in advance for any help anyone can provide

Hello, I have searched your website for an answer to this question, with no luck, so I am posting this to your members. How

do I make a bootable iso using K3B as a front end to cdrecord? The iso I am trying to make is one of five Solaris 10 OS CDs. Once I have made the CD from an unzipped file sol-10-u2-ga-x86-vX-iso.zip (where X is 1-5) I place it in my cdrom and reboot, but it is ignored and the system boots from the already-installed Centos OS on the hard drive.

 

Using cdrecord does not work; system doesn't recognize LUN 0,0,0

 

There is a screenshot of my K3B API at [/url][url=http://www.zonnker.com/noobie.jpg]http://www.zonnker.com/noobie.jpg I did not do anything to change the default configuration of the K3B tool.

 

 

Media is a SONY CD-R 700 MB

 

OS: Centos 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL #1 Fri Jul 7 19:24:57 CDT 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

 

CD burner K3B 0.11.14

 

boot sequence: 1. CDROM 2. USBDISK 3. HDE (hard drive)

 

command to unzip: unzip sol-10-u2-ga-x86-v1-iso.zip (No arguments) which produces a sol-10-u2-ga-x86-v1.iso which I burn to CD with K3B

 

I don't believe this is a Solaris issue, since I have found Knoppix, downloaded and burned in a similar fashion, produces the same results.

 

Many thanks for your help.

Well, I finally listened to Randall and took the plunge into the freenx arena.

 

This is one sweet program.

 

An interesting point, the NX product uses ssh as the transport layer. It works by setting up a ssh connection from the client to the server and, on the server side, executing a program via ssh to start the desktop. The display is transported back to the client over the ssh connection and displayed at on the client side. Keeping this in mind when you setup the keys for the NX connection is important. It took me a few minutes to understand why the private key was installed on the client side and the public key installed at the server... but this became obvious when the connection is compared to any other rsa-auth connection via ssh.

 

I have installed and tested the NXserver on a linux server with the NXclient running on a windows machine. The speed is amazing. It leaves VNC and Rdesktop in the dust .... in my opinion.

 

I will be following this post with more details with the problems that I had and what I had to do to resolve them.

Hey guys, i have compiled new kernel couple of days ago, 2.6.17.13, and everything went good, no errors. after reboot my lilo loaded, i did see my new kernel there, since i have configured lilo before, picked my new kernel, and it is starting to boot, it iwll go to a screen where it is starting to load modules, and right after that i am starting to see a colored lines across my screen, and there is more and more of them, and after a minute they are filling out my whole screen and i cant see anything but those colored lines :( i know one thing for sure it is not gettgin to startx, and before i notices that those lines started to appear as soon as my wireless module was executed, so i thought that was a problem, i removed that kernel, and reconfigured my config where i have excluded ipw2200bg modules, and other wireless support, recompiled again.... rebooted...... SAME THING!!! driving me nuts, i have tryed everything that i know, and nothing works, please help

 

i am using slackware 10.2

I have a Suse 9.3 system. Following an automatic update the system will not boot. I get a problem with "Waiting for /dev/sda2...." and it gets no further. I have searched the web for this and there is some discussion out there but nothing quite fits. My system will not boot from hard disk so I would like to re-install the original Kernel to get back to a working system. Any thoughts ?
