XP -- enable automatically turning off the machine

i never really cared about this, i mean, it's easy enough to flick the switch and turn it off. but someone asked me about it so i thought i'd find out... for some machines, if you shutdown in XP, the computer will automatically turn off. for others, it will give you the usual "it is now safe to...

debian network installation

I am planning on testing this out over the weekend, so I will need just a small bit of information. I was wondering whether anyone had installed Debian via network by booting from floppy disks. I looked in the Debian ftp site to see the floppy images, but there are many. Does anyone know which...

I thought XP was supposed to be a "stable OS"

interestingly, i have nearly the same specs as you do. i am running XP and never had a crash or BSOD. it has run very well on my system so far. so my guess might be faulty memory, although i'm sure that crucial has good stuff. try isolating the problem and see what results you get.

freeBSD DHCP router

boot disk with network support

Ok, i have the weirdest problem, so hopefully making one of these will ease my problem a bit. Just a bit of background... I have a homePNA card (diamond homefree) that has linux drivers. However, strangely, on boot-up, the nic just does not seem to light up and function. therefore, when linux...

ipchains requirement

this might be more suitable in the networking section, but i'll try here first -- it is more OS related anyway. i've searched high and low for a solution, but can't seem to find one. basically, my problem is when i run ipchains on my linux box, it gives me the error ipchains: Protocol not...
