Hello All, I am back to using Etch-Kde and while the machine is idle, it shows occasional net activity. Netstat shows the following entries posted below. Why are bbc, rocky-mountain, steffani and such sites being contacted? How do I disable this?

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Mounting Problem

> I want help regarding mounting windows network drive in > Redhat Linux AS3/AS4. > I shared the windows folder but unable to mount that drive. > Kindly please help me out. If your network is fine and windows share name, user name and password are correct, then the following command should mount the shared folder on Windows server running on (say) 10.1.1.1 to /mnt on your Linux system. mount -t cifs -o user=winuser,password=winpass //10.1.1.1/sharename /mnt Be root to execute this command. If share name or password contains white spaces, then appropriate quotes needed to be added for your shell to treat them properly. Raghu

Hardwares other than i386/amd64
by Kartik Mistry 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Dear all, Some of us probably knows that Debian comes with more than 12 or more architecture support [1]. And, we traditionally only use either amd64 (AMD64 family) or i386 (Intel 32 bit processors) or powerpc (Mac is now on Intel processors). So, my question is where exactly other hardwares than these can be get from/within India?

Kindly please >help me out. 1. Can you ping your windows PC which have the share ? 2. Please try following command on linux and give me the result. smbclient -U <windows username> --list=ferrari It will ask for password please put your windows passwd. Can you see the share name ?

Kartik >Debugging for Tally or Kernel? >It is better to start the new thread for this question rather than >asking different question on older thread. Yes I will create different thread for this. I need debuging tool for both kernel and application.
