Report of GNU/Linux workshop at KReSIT, IIT Bombay
by Chetan Vaity 30 Oct '02

30 Oct '02

Hello all, The Information Technology association, an association of students, faculty and staff of KReSIT had organised a two-day workshop on GNU/Linux on the 26th and 27th of October. The venue was the impressive KReSIT auditorium. The publicity campaign was mainly concentrated inside the IIT campus. In the week before the workshop, posters had been sent to various colleges in Mumbai. The registrations which had been sluggish (and had got quite a few of us worried) picked up in the last 3 days. More than 100 participants had to be turned down. After about 3 weeks of hectic preparations, the big day arrived. The start couldn't have been better. Dr. Nagarjuna gave a fantastic talk on Free Software and the history of GNU/Linux. This was followed by sessions on installation, GUI, command-line and shell programming and programming environment conducted by students at KReSIT. All the slides were created in latex and presented using the pdfscreen package ;-) The entire workshop was recorded and transmitted live to remote centers of the Distance Education Programme being conducted at KReSIT. Enthusiatic people who had turned up on that day were allowed to sit in the local "remote" classroom at KReSIT and watch the proceedings. At the end of the day, a 2 hour lab session was arranged for all the participants. (That's about 200 people - 2 per computer). Accounts for all the participants were created on a single machine (A Compaq ML 530 running Red Hat 7.3). Initially, there were logging-in delays as all the people started their sessions almost simultanueously. This smoothened out after a few minutes and the "exercises" began in earnest. Almost the entire student population of KReSIT had volunteered for the lab management (held at 6 different rooms in the KReSIT building). The second day started with a superb talk on networking and security by Prof. Siva Kumar, head of the Compute Center at IIT Bombay. He showed live examples from the setup at the IIT firewalls. This was followed by various sessions on system adminstration, LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), mail, DNS etc. After this an open QA session ensued where various doubts were cleared. The proceedings in the auditorium were concluded by an inspiring talk by Dr. D.B. Phatak, head of KReSIT. Day 2 lab sessions were held at the end of the day. An important learning: We felt that it might have made more sense to organise a workshop only for beginners. (a seperate one for experienced people). Because, all thru the 2 days, questions on installations, partitioning, X server problems, Windows interoperability etc continued. It was a mistake on our part to attempt to teach such a broad spectrum - from initiation to services management in just 2 days. Anyway, looking at the fantastic response we got (inspite of the moderately high fees), the Linux scene looks encouraging.

Hi, I just subscribed to this group. Just mailing to say hi to everyone. I stay at powai, andheri. Bye. The software that is popular need not be best. The software that is best need not be popular. It is a matter of choice what you prefer, best or popular. Linux gives you choice and also is the best software today in the market, ever guessed how much does it cost? Amish K. Munshi.

technique to copy files from a Linux to Win XP partitition
by Nikhil D. Kikkeri 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

hello, i use Mandrake 9.0 with ext3 file system and Win XP with NTFS. I am able to properly mount my Windows partition and read the files stored in that partition. However I am not able to copy any of my files from any of my linux folders back to XP.Windows is protected by a password.Hence I tried to make the relevant folders shareable through windows which didnt help.changing permissions through linux didnt help either, because it simply doesnt allow me to make the windows folders writeable. is it something regarding the issues that Linux has with NTFS that does not allow me to do this? Will the use of Samba help me in this regard? thanks -NDK _________________________________________________________________ Unlimited Internet access -- and 2 months free!

How to make a distro?
by Kapil Karekar 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

Hi Luggers, I am currently in the process of building a custom GNU/Linux system for myself using 'Linux From Scratch' as a reference. How do I make a distribution of my own, complete with a custom installation script. Can anyone suggest some literature which I could download. Since I'm taking the pains/pleasure to select the right mix of packages for myself I might as well distribute it to others who want the same mix of packages :-) Kapil Karekar Omkar e-nnovative software solutions kapil_karekar(a)vsnl.net kapil_karekar(a)hotmail.com Tel: (+91-022) 801 2861 (O)
