Hi, We have the following urgent requirements: 1. We are looking for someone who can setup an OpenVPN based setup. 2. We are also looking for someone who can suggest & setup an easy to use (PHP+MySQL)-based CMS on our client's intranet. We are currently thinking of Mambo CMS, as it has a WYSIWYG editor, and our client would find it easy to use due to that, but we are open to suggestions of better CMS(s).

Fat32 to ext3
by Sujeet Bhatt 16 Jan '05

16 Jan '05

I want to convert a Fat32 partition on my hard disk (/dev/hda6) to ext 3. Based on some googling, I propose to do the following: 1. Move all data from the Fat 32 partition to another machine on the network. 2. As root issue mkfs -j /dev/hda6 Questions: Am I on the right track? Are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of? What changes do I need to make in /etc/fstab? The current entry for this partition is: /dev/hda6 /mnt/win_d vfat defaults 0 0 I am running Fedora Core 3 on /dev/hda8 with a /boot partition on /dev/hda5 and a swap on /dev/hda7. As you may have guessed, /dev/hda6 was the D drive from a previous (now scrapped) installation of Windows. /dev/hda1 (the original Windows C drive) is now a ReiserFS partition waiting to have Suse 9.2 installed as soon as I have the DVD iso downloaded (wget -c is busy working in the background as we speak). Thanks in advance for any advice. - Sujeet -- I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week sometimes to make it up. -- Mark Twain, "The Innocents Abroad" * TagZilla 0.057 * http://tagzilla.mozdev.org

Cannot change volume in mp3blaster or Xine
by Nadiem 16 Jan '05

16 Jan '05

Getting straight to the point... I have installed the TUI mp3 player called mp3blaster. I am having two problems with it: 1> It plays music too fast. 2> It does not let me increase/decrease the volume. Same applies to the Xine media player. I cannot even change the volume from the Gnome volume controller. (Or for that matter any other WM's volume controller.) I am using RH9. The thing it, this machine has the Intel 845 GL chipset. That apparently seems to be the problem. I have another machine which uses the Intel 810 chipset and everything works fine there. Has anyone else experienced the same issues? I tried googling for it, but couldn't find any useful information. Any help/URL would be appreciated. Regards, Nadiem. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
