Hi,
I had mixed results with Mondo. http://www.mondorescue.org
It will create a bootable iso, dvd/cdrom or tape archive of your system.
You can select parts of your system also. The speed is ok, but i don't
have much to compare...
If you have a plain install (stock kernel, no lvm) you might have success
on the first go. I had a problem with LVM2, had to remove MAPPER from the
entries in fstab. Also some problems with large filesystems, part from
that al went OK!
Gr,
Bart
hi,
i`m using dd to take an image of whole disk, but as usual dd saves every
bit even it is 0, so saving and writing that image to several hd devices
(aka clonning) takes long time, i tried partitionimage packet provided
by sarge but it does no support to swap and image of whole disk, i can
only take the image of ext2,ext3,reiserfs and ntfs partitions but the
speed is fine, can you suggest any program like the mix of dd and
partitionimage.
thanks.

Hello fellow Debian Users!
I'm new to Linux and I heard good things about Debian so I decided to give
it a try. I've actually been meaning to try it for over a year now, but I
went ahead and downloaded the net install and got it installed.
However, my previous Linux encounters were just tests and never lasted
longer than two weeks. My goal is to migrate over to Linux and start doing
90% of my work on Linux (the other 10% requires Windows).
But during this migration over, I've hit a brick wall. I need to get my
NVIDIA drivers installed. I've figured out after 100 searches what to do
and found a person with the exact same problem as me. I unfortunately lost
the link, but I did manage to scribble down some instructions.
Here's my problem: I need to get the kernel source to get the NVIDIA
drivers in. I'm using Debian 3.1, the latest.
Thanks for any help. I've found myself going in circles on the net trying
to get these drivers installed!
Best regards,

I've never used esd or arts since I switched my desktop to Debian about a

For GNOME, you can use GConf to set the outputsink to use the alsasink, and
in KDE you can simply select it in kcontrol. I really don't know what
Firefox uses, or how it decides, but I've never had to change anything on
it.
I always use plain Alsa as well, since I use fluxbox instead of KDE or Gnome.
Firefox does not have anything to do with sound directly, the plugins
handle that, and they will usually use whatever has been configured
for the desktop.
GStreamer is going to replace esd and probably arts as well (I don't
think they have a final decision yet). I don't know how good 0.10
really is, but 0.8 + amarok didn't work out for me.
GStreamer is a flexible media framework and can actually output to
alsa and oss (and esd and arts, I think). Here is a good article about
it (pre 0.8): http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=5648&page=1

How grub names and finds drives is completely unrelated to how linux

udev are definitely not involved.
Good to know I was looking at the wrong thing.
In menu.lst, root is hd0,0, so grub finds the boot partition, and all is well.
By the time it gets to the line saying the kernel in in /dev/hda1, hda is not
the SCSI drive. Why? Is there a way to deal with this? How did you find how
this is all working (I can't find documentation)?

You can try
http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers?highlight=%28nvidia%29
It is very sad that nvidia is not making their drivers open source. I
wonder if they are really gaining anything in the end (with all the
discomfort caused to their end users using Linux).

but now the modem doesn't connect.
I have the following message in the /var/log/syslog file

I was trying setup a ldap + samba server, I modified the
/etc/pam.d/common-xxxx files. It is that I remember.
I have pctel modem, HPS56 MicroModem on pc100 board.
Which is the problem? and
How to can I solve it?

Probably a winmodem. Try http://linmodems.org or buy an external modem.
