MSDN subscription
by Andrew Hodgson 06 Apr '23

06 Apr '23

Hi. Is anyone here funding their own MSDN subscription? I am thinking of doing this and potentially using it for my Office365 tenant. I did have an MSDN subscription through the company but due to a recent takeover we have lost the benefit. Would be interested to see what others are doing for funding this. Thanks. Andrew.

Hi. Its likely that whatever lockdowns you have you will have the same issue with another partition manager tool as I expect they use similar methods to resize the volumes. If you explain the lockdowns you have done it may help but try the tool I mentioned at www.lsoft.net first. Thanks.

Hi. Can you modify the volume size if you boot to a Windows setup environment? I think I've done that before. Its been a long time since I needed to modify a partition. I've had good luck with the software from www.lsoft.net but not used the partition manager. I have the Data Studio suite which includes most of their products. Thanks.

PRTG
by Billy Irwin 03 Apr '23

03 Apr '23

Hi All, It is great to be back on the list. I have some news for all of you looking for a NMS solution. PRTG by Paessler is getting a GUI makeover and will be WCAG compliant with their new interface. I've been testing it in my production environment with much success. The GUI isn't complete by no means, but it is a great step in the right direction. They have committed to making their solution complaint. The interface is still in alpha. You can download their demo and work with it and send … [View More]

Booting a CD or DVD from a running Linux system
by Steve Matzura 17 Mar '23

17 Mar '23

I have no possibility of accessing the BIOS on one of my machines--no screen (the system is hopelessly buried behind other equipment) and no one to read it even if I had one. This system booted from its DVD drive at one time, but now no longer does, and I don't know why. I can mount the DVD with the command: mount -t 9660 -o ro cdrom and show the filesystem with df, but if I reboot the system with the reboot command or turn it on from cold, seems like the DVD drive gets bypassed. I … [View More]

Serial port header block on mobo
by John G. Heim 15 Mar '23

15 Mar '23

I'm about to have a new PC built. So far, I have always been able to find a motherboard with a serial port header block. Does anybody know what incantation I can use while searching for a mobo with the serial header block? Searching for mobos with com1 has not worked. What is the technical name for that serial port on the mobo? -- John .G. Heim jheim(a)math.wisc.edu
