One possible solution to this part of the problem would be to go the other way - you could try a Windows program to write to Linux: * Explore2fs (http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm) * Ext2 Installable File System for Windows (http://www.fs-driver.org) Chirag Wazir http://chirag.freeshell.org

[OT] Wah MTNL wah ILUG-BOM
by ronbillypop＠yahoo.co.uk 07 May '06

07 May '06

Hello all, This is one example to show that MTNL has improved its CC and how this list helped me in solving a problem. Today I was at a client's place where I was installing a second hand pc (W 98) The pc had a usb port only so the driver was loaded but come what may, no sites would open as dns would not resolve. The client uses a voip box independently connected to the adsl's etherner port. Acording to the client the net was running till the old pc conked off a few months ago. So I reinsatlled the drivers, tried everything possible to get the usb net working. The ethernet side was working as he could make international calls. Finally after more than a hour, I called up mtnl's CC. He asked me to check various settings till we came to WAN settings. There I was surprised to see the connection type was 'bridged'. I asked the CC if it should be PPPoE and he agreed. The user_name/passwd was added and the net was up and running. But now the voip stopped working. >From this list I had read about bridging and using pppoe in the comp. itself. So the raspppoe drivers were downloaded and installed. The adsl was again set to bridged mode and the 'raspppoe' command was run. It searched for available servers and I selected the first one and created a dialup connection. The user_name and passwd were added and now the net as well as voip box is usable. The NDIS patch too was downloaded to enable smooth operation in 98. All this was possible thanks to this list and its informative discussions.

FOSS Documentary on BBC World
by Francis 07 May '06

07 May '06

Hey All , I think many of us would be intrusted in watching this Documentary on BBC world **The Code Breakers** Microsoft has dominated the world of computing for many years, with its heavily guarded 'code' being beyond reach to many in the developing nations. In some of the poorest countries the cost of upgrading an operating system to keep up with the rest o fthe world amounts to a year's wages, and there are few legitimate options. In Thailand for example, 95 percent of software on computers is pirated. The poorest countries are now beginning to use free or open source software (FOSS), a software that parallels many of Microsoft's programmes but with the major difference being that they are distributed free of charge and can be altered by computer programmers who are allowed unfettered access to the 'source code'. In this two-part documentary, Code Breakers includes stories and interviews from around the world where FOSS is making an impact, from disaster management in Sri Lanka to tortoise breeding programmes in the Galapagos. Thursday 11th May at 0100 Repeated: Thursday 11th May at 1500; Saturday 13th May at 0100^; Monday 15th May at 0700# & 1300 Francis Pereira

Kernel compilation with grub.
by ronbillypop＠yahoo.co.uk 06 May '06

06 May '06

Hello All, I just compiled the latest kernel 2.6.16.11 from source and its created a vmlinuz-2.6.16.11 file along with a link vmlinux in the /boot folder. Since 'make bzImage' only creates a kernel image, the 'make install' was used finally to get it into the boot folder for grub. In grub's menu.lst, I configured the kernel as /boot/vmlinuz and root=/dev/hdan where n is my partition and its the same entry as in my existing kernel entry. The image entry is #shed as there was no img created. When I boot into the new kernel, after a series of initial text, it gives a kernel panic at the root= entry. Its the same as before so why can't it mount the VFS on that partition? It cannot recognise hdan. (n is a number) Any clues? Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo! Security Centre. http://uk.security.yahoo.com

Re: Linuxers Digest, Vol 37, Issue 12
by अिनकॆत (Aniket) 06 May '06

06 May '06

I am from same area. I have setup my pacenet connection in fedora. They use pppoe. You have to call them up and tell them that you want to use linux. They will give a new username like "yourusername@linuxuser" Then you can login using Rp-PPPOE from the new ID. BTW Ubuntu has pppoe builtin I think , so once you get your new usename just issue command "pppoeconf" as root and it guides you through a wizard. I was never able to connect from Ubuntu though as it kept on giving errors regarding maximum MTU/MRU. I didnt try later in Ubuntu but I think an MTU of 1412 will do it. -- The Future is Open...The Future is LINUX

[OT] Hosting a Web server with MTNL Triband connection
by Antriksh Bajaj 05 May '06

05 May '06

Hi, I have an MTNL Triband connection (DSL 590 NU) with a D-Link 502T ADSL Router. I want to host a web server on my PC. I am using Apache as the web server software. The index page loads without any problem with the loopback address(127.0.0 1) and the local address assigned by the router(192.168.1.2). But when I try to access the index page with the actual IP address (59.176.x x) it shows up the Router's configuration page but not the index page. I have also tried doing the Port Forwarding or setting up a Virtual Server for port no. 80 but still it doesn't works. The router uses DHCP for assigning IP addresses and theseare the ATM settings: PVC - Pvc0 VPI - 0 VCI - 32 Virtual Circuit - Enabled WAN Setting - PPPoE/PPPoA Any help or clues ? Regards, Antriksh
