Linux-on-CD service
by Royce & Sharal Pereira 13 May '03

13 May '03

Hi, Does any one know the status of Clinton Goveas' Linux-on-CD service? I sent him a mail a couple of days back re. Mandrake 9.1 CD, but got no reply. I know his CD writer was down, but the service was due to resume around the 10th May. BTW I have a CD writer in my PC at office if its any help to him. Clinton are you around? :) Thanks, --Royce.

Linux
by dhiraj tuteja 08 May '03

Sir, I have installed Red Hat Linux version 8.0(pscyche) But I am still having some problems: 1. I have an internal modem and linux is unable to detect it. As it was mentioned in the latest edition edition of linuxforu magazine I tried using KPPP software for configuring internet but received no success. 2. I am still unable to find exactly where to do programming. I have emacs. But still not very comfortable in it. I am referring the book : Unix Concepts & Applications (2nd edition) By Sumitabha Das Publisher Name : Tata Mcgraw Hill Nowhere in the whole book the author has written to use which editor. Just given the commands and I am uuable to find the interface to run them. 3. Sometimes it shows error: Nautilus has no installed viewer capable of displaying "/boot/grub/stage1" (or any other file) 4. I changed some settings and now when shutting down linux I get the message : Shutting down NMB services [Failed] Shutting down SMB services [Failed] Do I need to reinstall? 5. As in windows we have Norton Anti-Virus software. What about Linux. Any other software from where can I get it? Any website! 6. Can I install 2 Linux flavours on same P.C. 7. Now I can my Linux through Windows using Cygwin. I wanted to know like Through Linux I would be able to able to play songs stored On Windows( by mounting the partition or using some software like Wine) or do I have to again load them on Linux 7. Also how to create shortcut on desktop for a particular package. I just drag it to desktop. Is there any other method ? 8. Any free tutorial available on any website to learn linux and its detailed installation procedure guidelines. If available on the Linux Cd itself then how to extract them. 9. Through which software I will be able to write in Hindi fonts on Linux. 10. Is there any facility for address book on Linux. If exists then how to give password to my contacts folder as I don't want to share it. Also how to give password facility for the contacts foler in address book on Windows.(urgently needed) Would be thankful if you could solve some of my these basic queries. Waiting for an early reply. Yours sincerely, Dhiraj
