FWIW, openSUSE 10.2 RC5 is goldmastered to be released 7/Dec/06. I have installed RC1 on AMD64, Intel Dual Core, Intel Mobile.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] [OT] Anyone bought Class 2 Digital Certificate from MTNL Trust Line?
by Amish Mehta 08 Dec '06

08 Dec '06

> Has anyone bought Class 2 Digital Certificate from MTNL Trust Line? If > so, pls. let us know. > > TIA, > -- akk Yes, I had, about 2-3 months back, using MTNL Telephone subscriber option. No credit card / No proof / Payment (some 330Rs for 1 year) by Tel bill. Within 2days I received PIN by post and at first I tried with Firefox and it didnt work and PIN got used and hence disabled. So I wrote them e-mail and then they resetted the PIN within 3-4 hrs. Then I used IE and it worked. Was able to create certificate. Exported it, imported to Firefox and Adobe reader for Linux, signed forms and used it on MCA site (Forms submitted by IE as site was using ActiveX) and also used it for Income tax e-filing (worked great with Firefox) Amish.

> If nothing is decided before today evening, then i > guess we all can > meet at HBCSE. Please correct me if I am wrong. But I guess, it isn't decided that it is a formal talk (December GLUG-meet) (or a BoF). What is it? Mr. Dinesh Shah, we (GLUG-BOM @ foss.in/2006) can probably, witness a meet finally being conducted ;) -- http://houdini-aboutnothing.blogspot.com/ __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

TFTP error 1 (File not found)

> ............. > ..Me192.168.1.9 Server 192.168.1.55 > Loading 192.168.1.55:/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz.ltsp TFTP error 1 (File not found) > Unable to load file > <sleep> ><abort> >Probing for pci nic ... >Probing for isa nic.... >but vmlinuz file is present over there. > I tried changing the path /lts/vmlinuz-2.4.26-ltsp-2 in the dhcpd.conf but then also it doesn't works. Before booting client work station have you tried fetching boot image using tftp client? Other method is burning image to ROM of the nic but that depends on the nic you are using. > If there is anyone who can show me the LTSP in place live with some clients working so taht i can get a fair idea of how to get the LTSP into working as well as see the performance then it will be really helpfull What exactly you want to see? As for performace, you can happily run 20+ workstation on a server like IBM Netfinity M10. Though have enough RAM on server and on workstation depending on your requirement. BTW I prefer this method of install by Viral http://www.freeos.com/articles/2444/ HTH Krisha -Krishna
