    saving knoppix root passowrd

    A simple pair of shell scripts will do it; all you need to do is copy /etc/passwd to some removable media. Script 1: Save if [ -f /mnt/floppy/etc ] cp /etc/passwd /mnt/floppy /etc else mkdir /mnt/floppy/etc/ cp /etc/passwd /mnt/floppy/etc fi...

    Apt-get packages from Debian CD's under Cygwin

    I use Cygwin under Winfroze 2K, and I'd like to get packages off of my 7 Debian CD's. Is this possible and how do I do it? --Dan Hirsch CEO of DanSoft

    Pincusion monitor image

    Oh yeah... I forgot to mention that I'm using a Matroc G450 DualHead video card and both W2K and Linux. The problem shows up in both. I have booted since and the problem showed up in text mode and when booting W2K and hibernating W2K. It worked fine in all three cases before. --Dan Hirsch...

    Pincusion monitor image

    Recently, I booted my computer and the monitor image was very distorted. The edges were bowed in, and the horizontal size knob was non-operational. Neither problem was there when I last booted the computer. I am using an older monitor; it has 14.7" viewable area; instead of buttons, it has...

    Evaluating a string expression

    OK. I finally figured it out, but I've only implemented it in C++. Also, that project is dead now! --Dan Hirsch CEO of DanSoft

    Making a VGA BIOS image

    I got a copy of Bochs-2.0.2 and I want to make a VGA BIOS image form my current hardware. I have a Matrox G450 DualHead for a graphics card. Is it possible to make a VGA BOIS image from that card? If so, how do you do it? --Dan Hirsch CEO of DanSoft

    Printer share not found

    I have three computers at home, two with Win2K (#1,2), the other with Linux Mandrake 9.0 (#3). #1 has a HP 4100, which #2 can access. Unfortunately, #3 doesn't even see #1, but it dows see and can access #2. Any ideas on how I can connect to #1? [ponder] --Dan Hirsch CEO of DanSoft

    rpm to tar

    Try getting KPackage, from http://apps.kde.com; I believe that it will handle RPM's on any distro. It handled Debian/GNU packages just fine on Mandrake 7.2 (which natively uses RPM) Of course, I'm not an expert on Linux, so take that with a grain of salt. --Dan Hirsch CEO of DanSoft

    command line on startup Why?

    I actually had the same problem. I'm using Linux Mandrake 7.2, but my fix should still be the same. Log in as root, and when you get to the command line, type linuxconf. The linuxconf (LINUX CONFiguration tool) screen will pop up, with character graphics and all. With NumLock OFF, use the down...

    mount

    I have a similar problem ... I have a 5.25" floppy that Linux Mandrake 7.2 is completely ignoring. Any ideas? --Dan Hirsch CEO of DanSoft

    Skinnable project

    There actually is a way, and it is very simple. Stardock has a control called "DirectSkin," which does exactly what you are asking for. You can get a demo at http://www.stardock.com/products/directskin/ , or, you can go out and buy a full version for at least 400 bucks,but you should...

    Telnet through WinSock

    I'm using a winsock control to connect to my mail server through Telnet, and it works perfectly...until I try to send data. It appears that the server never gets the message, or my program never recieves a response. What's odd is that the server responds with a message, verifying that there is...

    Evaluating a string expression

    Thanks. I'll try that. ;-)

    Evaluating a string expression

    I need to evaluate a expression stored as a string and store that result to a variable. By the way, the string would contain other variables. For example, i might need to evaluate &quot;sin(x)+cos(y)&quot; given that I have values for x and y in those variables.
