At least now with Linux we can print our own. :-) (Although one
could do that in Windows too, I suppose. Even Amiga had
DeluxePrint...)

No cards, either. ;)

other hockey fans nearby. :-)

<rant>Quote:> No cards, either. ;)
In my opinion, cards can be nice as long as they are not the only nice thing
done for a person. Like the person who has no contact with his parents
siblings or whoever, then once or twice a year send them a card without even
putting a personnal message into the card. Respect and love is
demonstracted by all the little things that one does for another through out
the year.
If conditions require them to travel or even dwell a distance from each
other, use mail, telephone, and now computers to keep in touch, regularly.
A preprinted card alone does not cut the mustard.

BTW, the >The Frequently Asked Questions and Primer for
comp.os.linux.advocacy Team, hopes that everyone is enjoying out present to
COLA on this day.

Kind Regards from Terry
My Desktop is powered by GNU/Linux. Debian 2.2 kernel 2.2.20
Free Micro burner: http://w3w.arafuraconnect.com.au/~tp/burn.html
** Registration Number: 103931, http://counter.li.org **
1. SOLVED : LILO gives me L 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
To everyone who mailed me with there suggestions and for my answers here
it is.
I finally did some checking and found that my BIOS was pretty new and
that where
it specifies the hard drives there is a column called Mode. This goes
from 1 to
4 and is as follows.
Mode 1 = Normal - all cylinders, heads and sectors stay the same.
Mode 2 = Large - it doubles your heads and halves your cylinders.
Thereby getting
less cylinders. However for my drive it was still over
1024.
Mode 3 = LBA - it quadruples your heads and divides your cylinders by 4.
Thereby
getting even less cylinders than Large mode. This left me
with
cylinders = 621, heads = 64, sectors = 63 which use to
be
= 2484, = 16, 63.
Mode 4 = Auto - Don't know what this is for, but it did not work for me.
This approach probably won't work for most people with older BIOS's.
Unfortuanately I could not get to a linux software solution after many
hours
of testing different setups and posts. Hope this helps someone.
