Good Morning, I have a Gateway Solo 2550 with a bad cdrom. Win 98 took a turn for the worse. I took the HD and put it in another machine and loaded Mepis on it. I am having trouble getting the X-Server to load. Any thoughts???

I then use find (and grep if needed) to send my list of files through standard-in to cpio. That works better for me, anyways...

I think the standard is now ethtool. On Debian, I just add a 'up mii-diag -F 100baseTx-FD eth0' line after the gateway. Otherwise find the command and create a startup script. -- Jeff Rasmussen GPG public key 0x9686C12F -- Jeff Rasmussen GPG public key 0x9686C12F -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
