Any good application to send faxes from my ADSL?. Better if it's for

Yes, you most certainly can. As I stated, it is just an [another]

Thank you very much for all of the help. This was my first post to a Linux
mailing list, and the response was great. Of course, best of all, it solved
my problem. I'm a little confused as to how to respond to these emails. It
is not obvious that this will end up in the right place. But, here it goes.
I tried the advice of Mihai (included above), since it was the closest to
how I was thinking it would be done. For my specific setup, there were only
a few deviations.
1.I have no floppy drive, so there was no /mnt/floppy directory. Without a
pre-existing directory the mount command didn't work. After simply adding
the empty directory, the mount command worked fine.
2. I currently use LILO, but making the changes to /etc/lilo.conf was easy
enough. I don't know if it is required, but with LILO, it is necessary to
type in "lilo" at the command prompt, after changing the lilo.conf file, for
the changes to actually take effect.
3. One more thing. The .ISO files have to be in the root "/" directory of
the partition in which they are located. When they were in a lower level
directory, the installer wouldn't find them.
So, end result was exactly what I was looking for. The install from the ISO
files appeared to be working. Unfortunately the work isn't done. During the
install everything crashed. There was a big list of failures, having to do
with dev/hd issues (write permissions, formatting?). I didn't copy them down
as I should have, and can't get now because Mandrake was destroyed in the
process. I will be re-loading Mandrake, and following the process again. I
will try to get better failure information, and verify that it didn't have
anything to do with the install process. The ISO files were on a FAT32
partition (not NTFS, but also not a Linux partition), which may have had
something to do with it.
Thanks.

BE CAREFUL please, when I speak of Free Software I am not talking about
software that you can get for ZERO price but of software that has a
license that grants an user 4 basic Freedoms:
0. the freedom to run the program for any purpose
1. the freedom to study the program and adapt it for your needs
2. the freedom to distribute copies
3. the freedom to publish improved versions
As is immediate to anyone skilled in computing, access to source code is
a requirement to fulfill freedoms 1 and 3.
For a detailed explanation please see:
http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
For an alternative version (although not exactly the same) there is the
9 item list of things a license must fulfill to be an Open Source
license, check http://www.opensource.org -- although I think Free
Software is much more than a technically better way to make software.
You can check on both sites against DJB's license, and you'll quickly
see that it is NEITHER Free Software nor Open Source Software.

DJB's software is actually PROPRIETARY software WITH ACCESS to source code.
It just happens to be gratis, as well.
It may be technically perfect in terms of security, but that only adds up
evidence to those that say Free Software is more than good security too,
since proprietary software can also be very secure.
Since I don't want to use any non-Free software, I won't use DJB's
software. That doesn't mean I'm missing software, postfix and exim are
both safer than sendmail, and postfix follows a design similar to DJB's
(in terms of security) and IS Free Software.

Windows is also said to be of very high quality, reliable, secure, easy
to understand and manage, and a whole lot of other things GNU/Linux is
not.
I just care to check all details and filter out the garbage as the
sources come and go :)
Of course that phrase above would become:
Windows is also said to be a whole lot of other things GNU/Linux is not.

Gnome-Terminal in KDE
by Krikket
One of the things that I've been wondering about, and failing to find an
answer for...
Any thoughts on how to execute Gnome-Terminal from within KDE? Ideally,
I'd like to get a quick-launch button on my desktop, as well as have it
placed in the red-hat menu. The KDE terminal is nice, but lacking in
changing alphabets...
Thanks!

OT: Rack mount servers
by WipeOut
Hi,
I know this is off topic and for that I am sorry, but I am hoping the
people on this list will be able to point me in the right direction
because I am running out of time to find a solution..
I am looking for the best (cheapest) place to buy 1U rackmount servers
on a tight budget in the UK.. After lots of searching I have not found
anyone who stands out as offering a good value option from dell to the
no-name brands they all come in at around the same price..
I need to colocate the servers which is why they need to be 1U..
Thanks for any pointers on this..
Later..

Upgrade problems
by Michael Eccleston
Hello,
Having looked through the archive list - is there anyone who has had upgrade
problems.
I have tried to upgrade a P4 Hypethreading PC with intel chipset and whilst
anaconda finds the partition with the RH9 installation it fails when loading
the files required for upgrade reporting that there is not enough disc space
spare. This is strange as there is at least 40GB free (ext3) or does it
require unallocated space?
If the installation is made to the system as a new install it works fine.
I had noticed as the files where alledgly being loaded the disc light did not
come on which may be it is loading the wrong disk drivers.
The same problem occurs with a dual Xeon processor system upgrade from RH7.3.
Any ideas?
