My major problem at the moment is trying to get samba working so I can link it to my win98 machine. The problem here is trying to understand windows networking......

Windows (certainly Win.9x, possibly later) will not always recognise a Samba machine that was started BEFORE the Windows box got past the login box. If the windows box reboots, you may have to restart Samba (note - you DON'T need to reboot Linux usually, just restart Samba from /etc/init.d/ as root.) There's a message in the old archive: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/archive-old/msg00406.html http://www.dcglug.org.uk/archive-old/msg00411.html http://www.dcglug.org.uk/archive/2001/05/msg00013.html
For example: I installed cron-apt but finally removed it after rereading the "help" and not understanding what I had to do to get it working.
Umm, not usually anything. All you do need to do is set a usable crontab entry for the root user. 35 2 * * * /usr/sbin/cron-apt At 2:35am, each day, the root user will execute cron-apt via cron. You don't have to do it as often as that, especially on testing. Once a week is adequate for most people - the slower your connection, the more often you should do it though as this reduces the amount of downloads per session. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.dcglug.org.uk/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.neil.williamsleesmill.me.uk/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
