Hi, I have a Creative (Nomad) Muvo64 mp3-player / usb-memory-stick. Mounting it under SuSE 8. 0 worked easily, /var/log/messages said something like /dev/sda1 assigned, when I plugged in the device and mounting was possible.

Which CDRW should I buy?

bwgore
Hello, I want to buy an external CDRW for my box (intel PIII, 700MHz,810 chipset) running RHL7. 0 There is no free USB port as the only one available is occupied by HP845c inkjet. The inflow of models is much too fast for cdrecord to update their list.

I installed XP, and then Linux in the same HD (I only have 1), but, of course, different partitions. Using LILO everything worked fine for some time. Then i had some trouble with XP and had to reinstall it.

Help! NOT a newbie: A7N8X-Deluxe - 3COM LAN NIC not working

Xaphod
I'm running the Asus A7N8X-Deluxe with Debian 3. 0 (Woody), and a custom compiled kernel (version 2. 4. 18). The CD that comes with the mobo has support for the 3COM NIC for linux, or so it claims; both the CD and the website claim that the newest and correct driver is 3C90x-102.

Super Bowl Commercials

SO what you guys think? I thought the movie trailers were kinda cool, at least the ones I want to see. THe Bud commercials were horrible. The Office linebacker, or the Fedex one making fun of Cast Away were the funniest IMO.

Truetype fonts in XFree86 4.2.0

Shoikan
I am sure everyone can agree that the standard fonts of XFree are rather crappy. There are many howtos on making them look better, or using other fonts. Here you will find yet another howto, cookbook or whatever you want to call it.
