After a long struggle, I finally have antialiased, truetype fonts working on my KDE2.1 desktop, and truetype fonts both displayed and printing in StarOffice. The results are stunning!
I'd be happy to help anybody else who has tried any of the above and found it to be a seemingly impossible task!
Chris.
All,
I have a very sick Sun ultra 5 which we needed to get some data off before we nuck the HD. So I jumped up and said "Linux can read ufs, pass us that HD". Linux can read ufs, I know this, I can find the info on how. But what I can't find is a simple ufs.o file I can do an insmod with. The kernel is 2.2.18.
Does anyone have this file thay could email me?
Thanks
D

If you use a pre-packaged kernel like the debian one, there's probably a package with it in.
But, I'd recommend just building a new kernel with ufs support, it should be fairly straightforward, just follow the Kernel-HOWTO :)

No, I use peanut for this. Which doesn't have the ufs module as standard.

I would If I could get the source for it simply, I don't have net connectivity to the box in question :o(

You can just build the kernel on another machine then copy it over with floppies, ppp, whatever.
But, don't forget to copy the modules too.
Thanks to Dan Jones for his module. The System now works.
Thanks to all who replyied.
Thanks
