That was ambiguous, wasn't it! The latter is correct -- and it was the fact that they don't belong there under FHS that jarred with me.

Still, it was late and I was panicking rather unnecessarily. After sleeping on it, I am tending to the view they must be from that tinydns episode. I'm going to remove them on that assumption and see what happens. I never persuaded tinydns to run, so it is no loss.

Can't find what you're looking for?X

I won't give you the output of '/usr/bin/du -c -h --max-depth=3D1 /*' as you requested because it runs to about 450 lines.

Ignore the /fot (also non-FHS: it should of course be /media/fot, but I am lazy) directory listed here, as it is on a separate drive (I pruned it from the other output listings above), so the actual total for du should be about 10.9G.

I kept the second disk for media -- photographs mainly --, but it looks as though I shall have to take a part of it in order to decant some other directory into it.

The filesystem in every case is ext3.

There is always the same problem, even if the DMA option is activated via "hdparm -d1 /dev/hda". I conclude after some tests : - Either it is a bug which is not reported. (Why not report it?) - Either it is a hardware problem and so the hard disk (hda) shows weakness. - Either this problem can't be resolved via fsck, badblocks, hdparm, etc.

Since tinydns doesn't appear to be a debian package, you got bitten by allowing a non-debian-package to use anything other than /home/, /usr/local/, /var/local/, and /etc/.

I don't see anything here to panic over. If you want to give yourself some more room in /, you could put /tmp on tmpfs as long as you have enough swap already. Then you could delete the LV tmp and reallocate its space to /. Also, your /boot is too big but that's more difficult to change; not impossible.

If you don't need to access that media drive from other OSs, you can incorporate it into the main LVM system. Assuming that those photographs are meant to be viewed by multiple users, you could put the directory under home. However, I don't see that your setup needs any tweaking right now. / is at 68% with 81 MB free. The only thing that should take up a lot of additional room there would be kernel modules for another kernel. I'm guessing that you have two kernels installed; before you install another, remove the oldest one. Doug.

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExpressCard> Tells me that the voltage on the express cards is not compatable with pcmcia, so no, the cards I told you about will not work in an express slot. That page mentions the the Thinkpad T43, by Lenova, has an express slot. As Lenova claims to support Linux you might want to check with them. You might also check the linux-thinkpad mailing list for more information. As you did not say which card you found that worked on linux, I was unable to verify if there was a 'free driver' available for it or not. If you google with a search term of '(Card name and model) linux' you might find an answer.

so the problem is ipv6 module is still being loaded, something explicitly m= ight=20 be loading the module. You could take a shotgun to it and delete the module= =20 =66rom /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net/ipv6/ipv6.ko I would try and find out what is loading ipv6. first I would boot with the option init=3D/bin/bash, check lsmod, this will= tell=20 you if it is the initrd. Then just start each of the daemons in the same o= rder=20 that init would. Sorry can't point to the exact answer, but you should have the tools to tra= ck=20 it down.

Note that the Linux kernel doesn't specify what is your first network card (e.g. upgrading the kernel can change the names of your network cards). It's better to use the MAC address to select the IP address. Moreover your command gives garbage when the machine has IPv6 support (grep ' inet ' is better). --=20 Vincent Lef=E8vre <vincent(at)vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)

No, not necessarily: after lo, you can have sit0 (I don't know if it is used in practice) and/or usb0. --=20 Vincent Lef=E8vre <vincent(at)vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)

Yes, but I'm sure the process of enabling the playing of different codecs in Ubuntu is wonderful. It likely involves something akin to happy beautiful people gathering in a circle, holding hands, and smiling in feisty breezy dapper love of Canonical Ltd. The Ubuntu site had some info at https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/musicvideophotos/C/codecs.html. I gather you need to enable all of Ubuntu's "humanity to others" repositories (such as Universe, Multiverse, etc). Another option, instead of worrying about gstreamer plugins, is perhaps to simply install the w32codecs package, and perhaps also installing mplayer, should work. For me, I find I need to shoot high doses of insulin whenever I look at Canonical's sugary sweet Ubuntu site; so, it's no wonder you're looking here for your answers. Good luck, Mark

[...] Thanks Alex, but I do have a general picture of the process. What is missing is the bit in the middle, between the general schema and the nitty-gritty of exim4's myriad configuration files. In particular, to complete doing what Florian suggested, I need to know how to get mail from mutt to port 2525. Either through exim4 or otherwise if there is a simpler route. --=20 richard

The same problem has been asked on the Fedora list today, and one of the replies was to make an entry in /etc/modprobe.conf as below: install ipv6 /bin/true I've sent stuff to /bin/true before, and it's worked ok, and the modules arn't loaded. I tried it on my Lenny install, and sure enough ipv6 is no longer seen in lsmod. Just to check it out, I commented out the line, rebooted, and checked lsmod a gain, and ipv6 is back. I'm never too sure where to put these things in /etc/modprobe.d, but for sound card related stuff, TV card options, webcam options, I've put them in /etc/modprobe.d/sound. Thats where I put "install ipv6 /bin/true" , and it appears to work ok. If someone can suggest a better place, I'm listening. For these sort of options/alias/install lines, it's a bit more straightforward on Fedora, as it all goes in /etc/modprobe.conf, but on the other hand /etc/modules on Debian, makes it really easy to add modules you want loaded at bootup. There's no such file with Fedora. It's a case of, you win some you lose some, depending on the distro you're using. All the best. Nigel.
