I need to start links this way: "links -g -driver fb page.html" And it works fine when i start it from local console. But i need to start links from remote (to local screen) or from cron/script. And the result is: "Could not initialize graphics driver fb: Could not get VT mode." I trie'd to redirect it to local tty (linksbinarywithflags >&/dev/tty1) but the result is the same. It's posiible? -- KSB From kali at nimnet.asn.au Fri Mar 31 22:15:06 2006 From: kali at nimnet.asn.au (Kali McLaughlin) Date: Sat, 1 Apr 2006 16:15:06 +1100 (EST) Subject: [links] file systems Message-ID: Dear List: Please, from a Newbie, why is it that Linux will not run on a umsdos disk formatted by some versions of DOS? I found years ago that Monkeylinux will not run on a disk formatted with DRDOS 6 (irrespective of the sys-ing) and just now wasted days trying to make my laptop run Slakware4.0 after fixing file system damage with win98 Scandisk. It seems the only tactic is to copy the install to another drive, reformat the disk and reinstall Linux. Regards Kali
