I have installed ubuntu 8.10 on EE Box. The EEE box is 160GB Atom Processor Based system with 1 Gb Ram & 4 Usb out of which 2 are occupied by keyboard & mouse. The Vista Box is hosting the ftp using filezilla . I have tried another ftp software too. but Linuxrc always comes with no repository found error I want to do a ftp install or a usb Install. It will help my future migrations. Please give me a solution where I can make the installer using windows box. Kiwi thing will work only when I have a suse machine ..

need help on dep packaging for gnukhata.
by Krishnakant 03 Aug '09

03 Aug '09

hello all, I created the much awaited deb packages for GNUKhata. thy are right now available at http://kk.hipatia.net/public/gnukhata/ (/ at the end needs to be included ). I am facing a few problems as this is actually the very first time that I am building deployment quality deb packages. Right now the way those packages are built, I am sure that they only work on ubuntu 9.04 or perhaps the latest debian. I want to make GNUKhata work on ubuntu 9.04, 8.04 LTS, and also on debian. Can some one volantear for helping me do this? Further more, regarding daemons, I checked on the links provided by siddhesh and JTD in particular. the tutorials were good to understand basic daemon creation. But there are 2 major problems. Firstly GNUKhata is not a c program but an interprited python based application. So daemonising it is alltogether a different ball game. Secondly, if some one could help out in the deb and rpm (deb on priority ), then I would also like to know if there is a way out to write some code that automates the setup completely? For example on any distro the server deb package should first check for dependencies and install them if necessary, then create the gnukhata user, which is dedicated to run the gnukhata application server. Then the deb file should also generate the basic database and add the necessary tables. Is this possible to do with a deb file? I am sure then we can easily make an rpm by even using alien or some other software. Any help from Kartik, Rajiv or any one would be appreciated. As I mentioned the rudimentary deb packages are available at the url given at the top of this email. Help me to help making GNUKhata deployable. Thanks in advance. happy hacking. Krishnakant.

Struggle with OpenSuse Network Install
by Deepak Kashyap 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

Dear Members, Your expertise is appreciated. Goal : To be able to setup OpenSuse11.1 DVD version on my EEEBox first & then on other computers using ftp install , my Vista Laptop running Filezilla or xlight will do the FTP work I have tried a lot of things to boot the OS using Pen drive but always ended up on the linuxrc screen To avoid the "SHA1 Sum wrong" error I now Type "Linux install insecure=1",but I still get "No Repository Found". I have extracted the OpenSuse DVD ISO using 7zip and put it in d:\xampp\htdocs\download So for ftp the path is ftp://192.168.0.101/ & for http://192.168.0.101/download I have made \htdocs\download home directory for ftp Both Ftp & HTTP install start but end with error "no repos... found" I have also tried copying the ISO content into USB, renaming isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg & using syslinux to make it bootable. It too didn't work With regards Deepak Looking for local information? Find it on Yahoo! Local http://in.local.yahoo.com/
