Hello, I am new on the grml distribution but I work already 2 years with linux. I am completely blind and I use brltty as screenreader.
1: at the moment I have running the grml distribution 0.6 with mutt 1.5.11 , sendmail, procmail and postfix as mta.
Before , I was working with exim (version 3) as mta on a other distribution.
Is it not possible to configure mutt to work alone for the following things: - send and receive mail (without external mta) - sort the mail in different mailboxes conform the filters? - each user with his own <;muttrc-file?
For example, you can do this with outlook express on ms windows: to send and receive mail, you need only your login with pasword from your provider to receive your mail and the smtp-server from the provider. You can also create filters to sort the incomming mails. But, I love linux much more than windows :)
There are also such programs on the x-windows-system I think but I am completely blind and I can not work with x-windows because of that. I can only work with console-programs.
2: perhaps it should be a good idea to add some new function(s) to the user-configuration: - a way to create new users
for root: - a way to update the security packages available - perhaps a way to (re)compile the kernel on a user-friendly based system?
3: mounting devices automatically from fstab: As Michael prokop said already , I can not change mountpoints of found devices during hd_install. This is explained with the following lines:
# Warning! Please do *not* change any lines below #because they are auto-generated by rebuildfstab!
How can I simply change mount-points of found devices so that they are automatically mounted in the new mountpoints after next reboot?
If I do rebuildfstab after changing the mountpoints , I receive no message but the devices are not launched automatically.
4: text-packages: Is it not possible to add a configuration-option to the hd_install so that only text-related packages are installed? Perhaps, the packages could be stored in 2 compressed parts on the cd: one for the consolestuff and one for the x-windows system.
