In linuxconf...Access local drive..set mask of partition to '000'(zero-zero-zero)(simple zero should also work :-)) which allows everybody write access to partition. Hint: Its second last or third last option. I dont know exactly where but its there! Amish. Sameer Shinde wrote: > How can I give the permision to other users to write to >windows partitions?

Look at the folowing sites: http://www.ltsp.org http://etherboot.sourceforge.net You can emulate the diskless node operation using a floppy disk instead of burning the boot R0M(not RAM) again and again. Once you are satisfied, the contents can then be written to the boot ROM. Regards, Ashok

Its /dev/psaux for PS/2 >mouse. I was also confused when I switched from RH to Debian. I got a Logitech Serial Mouse and is on COM2, so I selected /dev/ttyS1. But now when I try startx it gives me Fatal Server Error. Mouse(Input/Output Error) It does suggest that there seems to be some communication problem with the mouse while X starts. At the back of mouse its written MouseMan Logitech Serial-Port Mouse. Now should I select Mouseman protocol or the option for serial mice in the Mouse config section of xf86config. I'm a little bit confused about it. I dont have manual for that mouse.
