Hello Luggers, Does anyone know how to do = a NFS mount WITHOUT using tftp or dhcp or bootp? I have a kern= el compiled on a client machine having NFS support. I have a Embedded= root filesystem ready on the Nfs server and I have already exported its co= ntents. portmap, nfsd and mfslock are running on the Nfs serve= r. Now, if I mistake not, by passing appropriate arguments to = the bootloader (i.e.Grub in my case), we can make the kernel from the clien= t machine boot and mount the remote root filesystem(residing on the server) Is this actually possible? Can anyone provide me the l= inks? Raseel. [1] [ads.=] References 1. file://localhost/tmp/3D

Lets reach on consensus , and we hold the 8 th august meet at Onward Novell. let our luggers learn more on Novell. I totally disagree with Sir. Nagarjuna with all my respect for him, abt Redhat distributing CDs and other media, after all its a part of an exchange, and exchange between the Industry and our community, what use would this community would be of if we keep our selfs Isolated from the Industry. Our vision says knowledge sharing, which includes knowledge sharing with the Academicians, Industry, GNU users, Developers, and all of them whom we can think of. If Redhat can attract few more users by distributing freebies whats the hitch. let fools come to collect freebies, and the wise come to collect knowledge. About every months meetings my point of view would be:- 1. every alternate month lets keep our meeting in some of the leading academic colleges, so that more awareness can instilled among students, for they are the ones who shall carry this GNU movement further. (Remember catch them Young) 2. the alternative month venue could be any where, would be a good idea if its with the industry, and major open source players like novell and redhat. (So Novell India meet on 8th is an excellent Idea). for which some of us should really take initiative and help in organizing at various but different venues. So fellow LUGers lets make it at 8th Aug. at Onward Novell, andheri MIDC.

Your Comments?
by Amar Shah 29 Jul '04

I ask for your comments / suggestions on the following topics: 1) In 1993 John Gilmore of the Electronic Frontier Foundation said, "The Internet treats censorship as a defect and routes around it." Is this still true today? 2) Despite offering software for free, companies such as Netscape and MySQL AB have proven that you can make money from Open Source products. Is this a viable long-term business concept? Why or why not? 3) Google, eBay, Yahoo!, Microsoft... been there, done that. What's your favorite little-known website? thanks.. -Amar Shah

You would need to use a program like fetchmail to download the catchall mailbox. Check the man page for info on 'maildrop' ... that should get you going. Sendmail is already preconfigured to work... I guess all you would need to so is configure the /etc/mail/local-host-names file or /etc/mail/sendmail.cw (if it still exists) to accept mail for you domain... Regards Rishi

Win Twin Linux OS for Rs 500
by Shiv Kumaar,91-22-28906693, 9820320927 (mobile) 28 Jul '04

28 Jul '04

any comments info on this one? Shiv Kumar Linux based BizDesktop emulates Windows to suit users Techtree News Staff Email Print July 27, 2004 Linux is making its presence felt and the Hyderabad-based distribution company ELX (Everyone's Linux), is doing its bit with Linux desktop OS - BizDesktop 4.0. According to Manojit Majumdar, who heads sales & marketing at ELX India, "With PC users being so accustomed to Windows interface ELX Linux has invested tremendous effort in making the BizDesktop as close as possible to Microsoft's Windows. The results are encouraging: we have managed to create a virtual emulator of sorts that clones most Windows functions perfectly." This is directed at eliminating concerns whether one would be able to adapt to this OS after using Windows. The desktop comes with Mozilla, OpenOffice, GIMP (Linux's answer to Adobe), project management software and graphical tools. BizDesktop also integrates WINE that enables users to install and run many Windows native applications. A single CD installs the entire OS. "...BizDesktop can more strongly emulate Windows than Red Hat desktop. For e.g. right click pop-ups, zipping procedures, etc. are all exactly the same in BizDesktop as in Windows. We have also added a launch pad feature that accumulates a users favourite and most frequently accessed application set in one single window. Samba has been configured in such a way, that users can run multiple OS' including Windows on the same client. It will be 8-9 months before any Linux distro can catch up with us", says Majumdar. 30 desktops at the Hyderabad High Court were converted from Microsoft to BizDesktop 4.0. They had tested Red Hat Linux on the desktop front earlier, but continued to use Windows. BizDesktop 4.0 was mapped to match their requirements and the deal was bagged. NIC was the technology advisor for the Hyderabad High Court deal. With the success of the project, NIC has added ELX on its Linux vendor list, which previously consisted of Red Hat, SuSE and Sun. Gurgaon-based DLF is also in the process of negotiating a deal with ELX. BizDesktop follows a differential nomenclature to avoid any patent issues. For e.g., instead of 'My Documents', we have 'My Docs'. Similarly, the 'Network Neighborhood' icon has been replaced by 'My Network'. The Control Panel gives exactly the same kind of GUI interface that Windows offers, allowing users to add/delete software/hardware in exactly the same way. ELX has tied up with LG in Hyderabad for bundling BizDesktop on their desktops and the company has already set up sales and support offices in Hyderabad, Bangalore and Delhi. BizDesktop 4.0 is available for Rs. 500 (plus taxes). The company has plans to tie-up with courier company GATI to provide a Cash On Delivery (COD) option to users placing orders from remote locations in the country.

I had open office 1.0 before upgrading FC-1 to FC-2. Due to this upgradation open office got upgraded to open office 1.1.1. I am doing a project which is dealing with Localization of RDBMS (Postgresql). so I have to use some Hindi data in documentation or reports. but this new open office was not supporting it as previous one was. so I decided to install open office 1.1.2 with hindi support. but this is also not working with Hindi data. the problem is same. open office responces very slowly. also overall speed of the system has degraded after upgrading FC-2. Even I uninstalled open office & checked speed for other applications( like starting up mozilla, gedit, ayttm etc..) but it was not as good as it was in FC-1.
