Thanks, Doug. That last backup is way out of date, so it would not be an accurate check. But I will go through it and check for missing files. Thanks.

Hi,

Sometimes older bios has a virus protection enabled in the bios itself. This does not allow anything to be written to the MBR to protect MBR viruses. I have faced this problem whereby the MBR gets cooked and the GRUB does not get written properly. Looking at your information it looks like grub is not able to proceed. Can you check your bios once again and try disabling the virus protection (re-enable it later once things are working) and re-install the grub and check ?

Do you have the ability to post your xorg.conf, and the Xorg.log file somewhere? If not at least show us monitor, device, screen, and screenlayout sections, as well as the part of the log file showing the error. My wild guess is that your screenlayout points to the old graphics card. /Allan

Just search the web for a font you like. As long as they are in the usual= TrueType format, you can just drop them into /usr/local/share/fonts/truet= ype.

At best, it can duplicate wondershaper. However, its designed for high-speed internet access. Its hysteresis is larger than my dialup bandwidth. The big issue is that none of the available shaping methods work by throttling outgoing requests for a chunck of incoming data. They are intended to limit the rate of outbound data. What we need is a multi-protocol proxy server that does proper throttling of download requests. Doug.

Thanks for a good suggestion. However, my BIOS already has "Virus Warning" set to "Disabled". This feature is described as follows: "Allows you to choose the VIRUS warning feature for IDE Hard Disk boot sector protection. If this function is enabled and someone attempts to write data into this area, BIOS will show a warning message on screen and alarm beep." Since this is already set to "Disabled", and since I didn't see a warning message, I'm not sure that this can account for the problem.

Oh, monospaced (not monochrome or monoline [as from a plotter] ). What about those in the dejavu?? package, or in gsfonts-x11. Terminus? Courier? Doug.

What happens if you reboot the installer in rescue mode and tell it to install grub again? Does the box have a floppy and do you have a grub-disk (I've never made a grub-stick)? Will that get you to a grub command line? Doug.

Older BIOSes have restrictions on where the Linux kernel and other boot files must be located. LBA32 should be able to get past these restrictions, but in your case it might not be working. If you can, try to get the boot files placed before the 1024th cylinder boundary. Sometimes this is at 0.5GB, 2.1GB or 8GB. Try a partition layout like so: /boot (primary #1, 2.1GB) / (primary #2, 37.8GB) swap (logical #5, 1.5GB) /boot must be the first partition, and try to keep all of it below the 1024th cylinder.

Good question. I used to have similar issues with Icedove when I used it. Sometime you have to muck around with the file /etc/icedove/global-config.js to get icedove to use the correct browser. If the following lines are in, and uncommented with within this file, then supposedly Icedove will use your system's default browser: // pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http","x-www-browser"); // pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https","x-www-browser"); However, in my experience, I still had problems; so, it was necessary to add this: // pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http","mozilla-firefox"); // pref("network.protocol-handler.app.https","mozilla-firefox"); It was a long while ago that I was using icedove; so, perhaps "mozilla-firefox" should be changed to "mozilla-iceweasel", or something. Or, hopefully there's a better way then mucking around with this config file to change how your email program opens web-browser links. Or, you could do as I did, and dump icedove, and use sylpheed-claws-gtk instead. Mark
