I wish to Network my heart with you. ____________________________________ I wish to network my heart with you. I wish to share my files with you. Let's dial in and share a word. Handshake, login and check mail first. Slowly, I shall ftp in your mind. Copy virtually myself in your files. Create a new account, And retire all. Networked our hearts will share the joy. While multitasking daemon work like ward boy. Our eyes will gaze thru satellite means. Insat 2B to transmit will be keen. AOL, CompuServe go to hell. I have a sweetheart to network myself. I wish to network my heart with you. To share a few more moments with you. Love Harsh R Busa _________________________________ BackendGuru Technologies http://www.BackendGuru.com Tel : 098206-93048 / 91-22-28985205

[ILUG-BOM]Missing special device file /dev/fd0
by The Linuxer 31 Dec '02

31 Dec '02

Hello, Earlier, I mounted 3.5" floppies by just giving the command # mount /dev/fd0 /floppy Now suddenly, I don't know what happened, the bash shell says the device file is missing. As an alternative, what I did is that I changed the entry in /etc/fstab & named the floppy device file to /dev/fd0H1440. Now I mount floppies by using the command # mount /dev/fd0H1440 /floppy Although it works perfectly okay, I am still intrigued by what happened. Is there any way of "recreating" the special device file /dev/fd0 ? Please enlighten .... Thanx in advance. Bhaskar Ghose [The Linuxer] ================= Microsoft is not the answer.

Where is the firewall?
by Nikhil Joshi 30 Dec '02

30 Dec '02

Hi! installed privoxy ( junkbuster clone ) ad filter. However it cannot bind to the default 8118 port. It complains that the port may be in use and exits. When i run #nmap localhost there is no 8118 port open I guess the problem is with the firewall settings. Where are these settings located? Is it the problem of firewall or something else ? Please enlighten Nikhil

Flash on Mozilla
by Amish Munshi 30 Dec '02

30 Dec '02

Hi, I have installed "Full (all packages)" Mandrake 9.0, I want to install flash player for any of the browsers - Mozilla, konquorer or galeon. I have given Mozilla a try with flash as follows. I did download and extract the files, and also copied into $HOME/.netscape/plugins and also added application/x-shockware-flash in the preferences->Navigator->Helper Application used swf (not .swf) as the extension. But mozilla doesnt even ask me if it can download the plugin for flash. Bye.

To small case
by Amish Munshi 29 Dec '02

29 Dec '02

Greetings, How do I convert the file names to lower case. I have a directory and the files in it which are in upper case, how do i convert all of them to lower case. Ofcourse except "mv UPPERCASE lowercase" since there are lots of files to convert and I do not want to keep typing the lowercase file name for each one of them. Thanks in advance. Bye.
