cdwriters: k3b: kernel 2.6.8+
by Erle Pereira 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

Hi This is just for info. There is a problem with kernel s 2.6.8+ and k3b where it cannot detect most writers properly and hence shows up as a normal drive instead of a writer under k3b. This is a kernel issue as claimed by the k3b team. solution: kernel 2.6.7 or lower (i personally have shifted to 2.4.27 b/c i find 2.6.8 & .10 rather unstable with my snd-card & ide times out too often ) or do not use k3b. so before giving up on ur writer, please try one of the above. It might not be a writer problem. It is still not clear how many writers (or if all) are affected, but it seems to be fairly wide spread. BTW: anybody using kernel 2.6.8+ with k3b ?? which writer / kernel rgds Erle

Err i thought that developers stick to one distro. And any change in --PREFIX was a one time change. So it would not change from one flavour of RH, suse whatever to the next.

United linux had SCO (undrels) as one of the founders, and quitely ceased operations after the fiaSCO of SCO's lawsuit against some GNU/Linux users. The law suit was/is funded by M$. The suit against one of the users was thrown out recently. refer to http://www.groklaw.net to get the gory details of SCO's death by own lawsuit daily. > How linux will capture Windows Market ??? Linux is creating it's own market. The thread fails to see the larger picture. Which is desktop != computers and fragmentation of the os market into desktop, servers (low,mid, high, cluster), embedded, Realtime, gaming etc. with M$ nowhere in the picture in several of these and very badly mauled with failed projects in the embedded and realtime space. The one size fits all is long over. And branding and service headaches will ensure a healthy spread of companies and services. If anything this frag is the best thing to have happened to the computing industry. Watchout for new PCs with Powerpc cpus instead of i386. Infact today there was an announcement from Sony-IBM for playstation 3 using these chips. rgds jtd

Pacenet from Mandrake 10 installation CD
by journo shiv 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

Dear all, Have just discovered a neat way to connect to pacenet with Mandrake 10 installed. Just reinstall Mandrake 10 all over again. Only click on Upgrade instead of a full install and the system detects the pacenet internet connection. All one needs to do is then enter details like DNS server details, username@linuxuser etc and begin surfing. only problem the connection is 'always on' now trying to find ways to log off since my account is of a limited nature. shiv kumar __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
