Re: [ILUG-BOM] Converting .prn files to .text

Thx a zillion. This sounds so much more simpler. I am using "Apple Laser Writer" printer driver, and have TICKED the Print-to-File option. Does this driver support PostScript. How can I check which drivers are PostScript compliant. Thx again.

Hi, After a little bit of digging i found the answer to my question on the PC Quest Website article which had done a review of RH 9.0.To take screen shots press Shift+Prinscreen and the image gets stored under /root/anaconda-screenshots/ this can be latter accessed during the installation process which you could use for Documentation . I would like to thank Sameer & Rajesh Deo for there Inputs Thanks once again Warm Regards Santhosh R Amin ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Use yast (as root) and use online update. I am not sure if it works for an upgrade of a entire system, do let us know if you do manage to update your system using this method. > Regards, > Mathew > > ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Withough using the network card? Links/Man pages/ HOWTOs or any pointer would be great. -- Goldwyn :o) -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers As far as I know you can use serial communication (UART Chip) for transfering data through comm port. I am not sure of any manual pages, but you can have a look in the documentation directory of the linux kernel source. I think there you might find some documentation on using comm port. Rahul

Taking Screen Shots of RH 9 Installations
by santhosh amin 21 Nov '03

21 Nov '03

Hi Everybody, I have been trying to configure a sendmail box for my organization.The query i had is there a way to document the installation process ( GUI ), by taking screenshots of the same for documentation.Somewhere i think i came across a line in one of the guides / documents which said that when u take a printscreen during the installation process it gets stored as a file somewhere in the filesystem which can be later used. Request some of the experienced veterans to shed some light on this.Bottomline is i would like to document the installation process once i streamline it. Thanks in advance Warm Regards, Santhosh Yahoo! India Mobile: Ringtones, Wallpapers, Picture Messages and more.Download now.

lug working??
by rahul revo 21 Nov '03

21 Nov '03

hi all, i was wondering how the ilug actually works. you obviously have an email server, but what about the email parsing. i guess you have a zope app server as well. how have you integrated both? are all emails scanned by the app server or by email filters in the email server? how are the services like subscription etc through subject in email performed? also which os, etc software etc has been used and what hardware. what are the loads on the hardware. basically if an admin could spare some time and explain the entire design and the reasons for a particular choice. also wrt to load on server is it better to parse through all emails for html or just send it to all the clients. <i do not intend to restart the html vs plain text issue>. thanks rahul

df/du issue
by Keith Fernandez 21 Nov '03

21 Nov '03

Hi, Can anyone help me out. My problem: When I do a "df" on my file system, it reports incorrectly this is what I get on some on one of my partitions. ------------------------------ Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hdb1 7.7G 33M 7.3G 1% /vol2 ----------------------------- THe size of the disk is 7.7 GB and it says available is 7.3 GB that means 400 MB is used, it however reports 33M is used, although the HDD is empty. And "du -sh /vol2" gives me --------------------------- 37kB /vol2 -------------------------- There is nothing on the partition /vol2. What could be the reason for this... This is an answer I got "Deleted files/open files still held open are reflected in df but not du." Any ideas? Regards, Keith -- “I asked for strength and God gave me difficulties to make me strong. I asked for Wisdom... and God gave me problems to solve. I received nothing I wanted... But I received everything I needed."
