I think the best option is let this thread take a breather,I will get a new Mandriva DVD from Mrugesh,install and then follow these steps...then if the problem reoccurs,I will report back again...... I am actually of the opinion that Mandriva has given me so many problems that I plan to shift to Ubuntu Fiesty and Fedora 7(64 bit)... :x Regards, Easwar

They are meant for people who cannot or do not wish to own their own computers. But the leaders of this state (especially the ones who live in Kalanagar) have decided that the free flow of information is not good for the ordinary people of this state. Their goons are vandalising cybercafes, and the police have sent out notices (not in Mumbai, but in Ulhasnagar and Dombivli, and in other towns in the state) asking cybercafes not to "show users the Orkut site". Needless to say, the press has been largely silent about this state of affairs. I also see little discussion of it in lists relating to IT in India. Evidently, the best way to live here is to wait until the leaders dole out largesse (free electricity and water) in return only for a simple vote. Oh yes, and perhaps a heavy stick to bash up anyone who thinks. Vickram ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Mail is the world's favourite email.

setting up nrc-foss node in mumbai
by Kenneth Gonsalves 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

hi, as you may know VJTI has offered a lab of 30 machines for use of the community. We are going over there on sunday to start setting up the machines and chalk out programs. The lab will be available for all lug type activities. Our first challenge is to set up the lab as a state of art thingie that showcases the best of FOSS. And then to bring crowds in to see, use, learn and enjoy. So please bring your dvds cds and drop in to the mechanical engineering department of VJTI anytime after 10 am. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS lawgon(a)au-kbc.org http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/

by Roshan 08 Jun '07

08 Jun '07

List, In few days, you'll be able to see the entire show (of this week) on their website at http://www.bbcworld.com/click In case, those formats (video) are unacceptable, you can view the interview with Mark Shuttleworth, on the following YouTube Link http://youtube.com/watch?v=fk92zMa84aU Alternatively, if you watch / would like to watch it on television, tune in tomorrow at 12:00 noon on BBC World. Is it possible that Click can offer an archive of this entire show in Ogg format? Or using a screenrecorder in windows, can this be converted to a format such as .avi? -- FSF of India Associate Fellow - http://www.gnu.org.in S K Somaiya College of ASC- http://www.somaiya.edu/sksasc ubunturos @ freenode Looking for people who are YOUR TYPE?

[OT] Issues using xemacs as a lisp IDE
by Mohan Nayaka 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

Hi all, I tried to use xemacs as a lisp ide using slime. i referred to slime and xemacs' inbuilt info documentation but still haven't succeeded in configuring it properly. Since this topic may not be of interest to all, I am putting in a description of my efforts so far in an attachment so that it can be ignored (instead of being flamed) more conveniently.
