module aliases
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 28 Aug '01

28 Aug '01

This is a message that comes up all over my system logs - Aug 27 19:51:11 trantor5 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-6 I suspect this is because some alias in /etc/modules.conf is missing ... where do I look for the relevant module name? I am using kernel 2.4.7 compiled on my machine. SameerDS. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!

There's Cistron, I believe.

bombay.linux-india.org shows as `r renovation. Please come back!' Parag, Nagarjuna, whoever can deal with this, shouldn't this just redirect to ilug-bom?

Dynamic signature
by Harshal Patil 28 Aug '01

28 Aug '01

hi, i've seen in many linuxers' mails (specially PHILIP TELLIS) that the signature changes with every email. how do you manage to do that??? i use evolution & netscape 6.1 (yeah...both of them crash a lot :)) in which you have to specify which signature file to use. my first guess is that to write a small "c" program which will overwrite say, "signature.txt" every min. with the help of cron. this program will take input from a small database of signatures. any hints/ideas?. thanks you. -- Registered GNU/Linux User #188850

They told me that there shud a LAN card on yr m/c. Now which LAN card shud I purchase keeping in mind the compatibility in Linux? TIA, Warm Regards, $ sonpal -kj

Linux and Telex Support
by noel seq 27 Aug '01

27 Aug '01

Ok. I opened the telex machine and found the following details. 8088 pc chip 2 telex cards (for 2 lines) model No. 405-2 Chipset of the telex card AMD-8085A-2PC /P8085A 8135 EP. There are two 9pin cables connecting the telex cards to a DC/DC converter (what's that) There's a 360 KB floppy drive on the system with some system files. The floppy never used to work earlier, the drive cable was loose. The floppy contained some files command.com, autoexec.bat, start.com, duend.com (what's that). The machine does not need the floppy to boot. so the system's operating system must be on a boot rom. Noel.
