People can do free SMS using Yahoo messenger on M$windows, but Y!Messenger for Linux is not giving this facility. Is there any way to do SMS to Indian Mobiles free of cost (using Yahoo or some different site) from Linux PC. -- H.S.Rai ===================

965 CD ROM Support Puzzle.
by Rony 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Hello All, Today I got another chance to try live cds on the 965 RYCK with core 2 duo. I tried the Knoppix 5.11 DVD and the DreamLinux 2.2 Live/Install CD ( Morphix Deb based ) that came with this month's LFY. :P In both the disks, the initial boot screen appeared and the Kernel/Image was loaded. when the detection stsrted, it threw up the error of not finding the media files. What puzzles me is that if the PATA support for 965 boards is not yet come out in Linux distros except FC6 and Sabayon, why does the live distro CD even show the boot prompt and load the initial image/kernel? I even got the starting logos and splash screens. Then why does the distro not go on to *fully* load, irrespective of not detecting PATA drivers? If it cannot load PATA drivers, why does it not run on the generic drivers as it begins initially. The initial data came from reading the drive anyway. Can this be achieved manually by passing some boot parameters? Is this a flaw in Linux kernels? Regards, Rony. ___________________________________________________________ Try the all-new Yahoo! Mail.

ubuntu vs knoppix
by Satish Alwani 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Manoj, Actually personally I do use debian, every one of my servers run on debian. But remember these are servers, therefore I dont really care about X on those. Personally I have to keep a windows box for certain amount of development and software needed for development. My boxes all run stable in this case sarge since they are all production grade in data centers and offices. I have an additional "play" box i have at home which has ubuntu 6.06 on it, but my usage on that till date minus the installation barely surpasses 1-1.5 hours a month. Thats why i wanted a more outside referance with respect to desktop and usage. I tried out knoppix a few times, somehow always had issues for something or another (not new hardware .. its an AMD 1800XP 1533mhz). Anwyays, between my prior email and now, I asked my friend to choose and he chose kubuntu, so I am probably getting him that. I have started downloading, but if anyone has kubuntu 6.10 on DVD, i'd rather get it off there which would be much faster.. as i guess i would only get 10% every 2-3 hours (cant leave overnight ) Lets see how things go.. Thanks Manoj Regards, Satish

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, Can anybody recommend any specific brand / model of a PCMCIA wireless card that works out of the box and doesn't cost too much? I know that Atheros chipsets play well with the madwifi drivers, but I need a brand+model which I can specifically ask for at the hardware shop. Thanks in advance.

rules for off topic responses..
by G Karunakar 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Hi all (& list admins).. shouldnt there be a rule like.. if there are offtopic responses to a query, the responder either change the subject line or desist from responding in same thread... quite a lot threads of sensible questions go haywire.. with the offtopic threads that start! (esp by trolls, idlers.. etc).. or maybe a list rating on which list has most offtopic responses..to the original query!! Karunakar
