Try 'install rtl8187 /bin/true' instead of the 'blacklist' if this
 doesn't work than the module is loaded somewhere else, probably in your

 initrd, which will need to be rebuilt.

Seems it is loaded somewhere else. I'll try rebuilding  initrd.

It appears that he wants to get into the email address harvesting
business.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi,

within the last few days, I tried to install lenny (i386, snapshot 
February 11) on several systems yielding strange results:

1) FSC Amilo Pro V2055 (VIA VN800 / UniChrome Pro), Saturday Feb 16
Installation seems to work well. While the boot procedure, X (using 
vesa-driver by default) seems to start, but then it stops and I'm thrown 
back to the non-graphical boot-console before the desktop manager itself 
appears. There, I can log in both as root or normal user and start X via 
startx without any problems.

2) Desktop based on nforce 430 / GeForce 6100, same date:
X (here too using vesa-driver by default) starts within the 
boot-procedure as normal.

3) FSC Amilo Pro V3515 (VIA VN896), Monday Feb 18
Within the "select and install software" step, just when normally 
tasksel starts, the installer tells me to insert the CD No. 1 - which of 
course still is in the drive. A hardware issue seems unlikely as I 
performed hereafter a test-install of etch on the same system without 
any problems. Nor seems a medium corruption likely as its the same as in 
the above steps.

4) as 1, Monday Feb 18
Within the "select and install software" step, installer grumbles about 
a missing German dictionary. After all, complete step fails.

I don't quite know how to appreciate all this, especially whether these 
are normal / transient problems while the development of testing or 
reflecting bugs. All in all, I thought it could be a good idea to post 
this stuff here, especially to figure out whether or not the latter is 
the case (and thus be able to report a bug if reasonable ...)

There is website with over hundred email addresses that should be 
collected and written to vcards or alias addresses.

Subject: typewriter function for an impact printer?
Message-ID: <20080220222435.GA8848@titan.hooton>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline

Hello all,

I often have forms to fill out and some would be better not
hand-written.  However, they all differ so I can't just set-up a
template.

What I really need is just a typewriter.

Does anyone know of an app that will give me an interactive session with
my Epson dot-matrix printer?  I could feed that in (its an LQ-2080 and
will do plain paper), use the enter key in the traditional typewriter
way, etc.

It shouldn't be too big a deal to do, I just figured I'd see if there's
already a solution before I try to reinvent a very old wheel.

Thanks,

Doug.


Can we help you?X

another look and I found what I was looking for, seems like modeline is tur=

off in debian, so I have added to my ~/.vimrc a set modeline

Well, websites are in html

html is a text markup.

write a script looking for words (series of chars without whitespace)
containing "@"

you can probably use standard unix tools to do it.

It's the prima fascia reason for asking how to collect email
addresses from web sites.

Very interesting. While I am not aware of any such app, doesn't
"cat > /dev/lp0" (or equivalent) work?

I like the concept. Please post back your experience.

wget, grep

But, perhaps, it would be easier to just ask the site admins to mail you 
the list of addresses?

How can multiple gods have the same name?  Anyway...

Presumably he would use Unix tools running on his Debian box to
harvest the emails.
