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)

[OT] BeOS Max Edition v2
by Prakash Shetty 27 Oct '02

27 Oct '02

Hello linuxers, BeOS 5 PE Max Edition is a distribution made using the free version of BeOS 5 (called Personal Edition) with a number of drivers, add-ons, and software. It includes the new development tools from the OpenBeOS team Web site, but you will also be able to select the old tools. It only contains freeware and shareware demos. All the code it contains is legal under the MIT, GPL, or LGPL licenses. And yes its Athlon XP patched. Its already the 3rd most popular on BeBits within three days of its posting :- http://www.bebits.com/app/3089 Home Page:- http://vasper.net/main.php Mirror, FAQ's & Forums:- http://crux.sourceforge.net/nuke/index.php Scheduled for next release i.e V2.1: Scheduled Release Date - 23rd November 2002. 1) All packages are going to be in zipped format to avoid the long time it takes to copy them on your computer. After that, the installation will unpack them. This change will speed up the setup. (This has allready been done.Installation improved from 35 minutes to 12 minutes!!! With unpacking). 2) There will be alternative programs for bone setup, but not bone itself. Also it will include instructions on how to use Max with bone. 3) There will be a Pentium 4 boot disk included. 4) Also while booting Max u can select from 2 kernels, the Athlon Xp or the Pentium 4 kernel by pressing spacebar.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Linux Cluster
by Vinayak Hegde 26 Oct '02

26 Oct '02

hi, check out the linux-clustering howto @ www.tldp.org. get the oscar toolkit from sourceforge.net. Oscar is a really good tool for clustering. Oscar works with diskless nodes and can work with the lowest of configurations.Also it uses the master-slave configuration as compared to the p2p models some other clustering tools use. Also you can work with pvm/lam if you want to really do some hardcore clustering. Try using the MPI from notredame univ. It seems to be good. Problem that can be solved using a cluster are 1> Distributed Compilation of large programs e.g teambuilder/distcc 2> Image Rendering using Pov-Ray/other variants 3> Hypertext indexing / searching. --> Vinayak Hegde > I am building Linux cluster as my final year project. > I have a book " Building Linux Cluster" > published by O'Reily .

Courts in Maharashtra to use Linux.
by P.V. Mohan Krishnan 25 Oct '02

25 Oct '02

Dear luggers !!! This is to inform you all that the Bombay High Court hasvse decided to have the computerisation of the activities of the Judiciary in Maharashtra on a Linux platform. As part of a recently initiated computerisation programme of all the subordinate courts of the Metropolitan area of Mumbai we are going to use Red Hat 7.3. For the last 3 years we are using a Red hat E-Mail server in the High Court. Also all District Courts in the State use a Slackware version of Linux on their systems. We have specific interest in issues relating to the following under Linux : a) Support for old binaries ( SCO Unix Sys V/ Xenix ). We have used old ibcs as well as present linux-abi modules to get some of our application running with a big load of users accessing the same. b) Still looking for a non-GUI word processor which is simple to use, implements curses/ncurses efficiently for screen handling, uses simple fonts ( or no font at all !!) to give speedy outputs of big documents speedily on DMPs. We have not yet found anything remotely similar to the good old SCO Lyrix OR Uniplex wordprocessors. If someone has any suggestion on this it is welcome. c) Method of printing simple text under Star office OR Open Office. This is linked to previous section subject. d) Bilingual support. We are trying out Indix. Lastly we would like some suggestions regarding a workshop we plan to hold for Judges ficers of the Courts sometime around Nov. 17-19. One session is planned on Linux and as the audience would be general users the presentations are proposed to be a of a general nature. I am contemplating getting either to get Red Hat technical persons to handle this OR may be any of you Luggers having the time !! Kindly feel free to mail me. Regards - Mohan Krishnan Technical Director Computer Centre, High Court Mumbai - 400 032 Phone : 2676751

Re: Linuxers digest, Vol 1 #646 - 14 msgs
by P.V. Mohan Krishnan 24 Oct '02

24 Oct '02

Thanks a lot for the encouraging feedback recvd. from many of you to my mail on this forum. I would try to reply individually to those who had mailed me in such manner ASAP. We will definitly try to make use of your offers for helping us educate the users on Linux. I would be interacting with the senior officers here and get back to you reg. the specifics like the date of the workshop etc. At this stage it would be pertinent to note that considering the financial constraints the Courts are working under, we would not be looking at paid consultancy services from anyone and I would therefore request individuals not to contact me with offers of such nature. Would prefer mails to educate me of any such services which could be used later. Coming to some technical inputs recvd. reg. the wordprocessor issue, yes we require a full fledged wordproccessor and VIM etc dont qualify under that. Remember that we to provide users with easy to use tools with illustrative help and not things which would require macro usage etc. I plan to get emacs checked out. But i would suggest some of you luggers who are interested in this matter to meet me and have a look at the sort of wordprocessor we r using and compare that with their suggestions !!! - Mohan Krishnan --

Linux in courts
by jitendra 24 Oct '02

24 Oct '02

Dear P. V. Mohan Krishnan I am thrilled that the High Court have adopted the Linux path. I am a teacher at VJTI and would offer my services to the High Court. Being a govt duty , this should not cost you anything provided correct levers are activated . I feel there is a need for some expert knowledge and also of spreading of the . Though I love linux, I am not the expert. I do however feel I can help as intermediate and as trainer and troubleshooter at various levels.I also have access to students who can do the necessary problem solving. As far as training is concerned we will have to look for some one who has already tuned the emacs for the needs of highcourt typists. The requirements will have to be studied translated into features that emacs can achieve.Accordingly the macros (.emacs files) will have to be built. Different set of typists (those who take dictation from the Court and those who maintain registers , those who maintain web-sites, those who deal with lawyers, those who do office book-keeping etc, all will have different needs. Using these different macros, getting the users comfortable with these, and modifying them after usage for some time will eveolve. also making sure that they don't see this as labour displacement will be the HR role to be played skill fully . It is here that some systematic and mature thinking will have to be applied. I would love to be part of the effort. Another major issue that needs to be considered is that the court may create their content in Unicode. More over the court has also to deal with indian languages. Particularly the proceedings at the lower courts are in local language and correspondence with them also. The RedHat Version 8.0 has better support for this. Recently the font issue has been more or less resolved. This will ensure compatibility with future applications. As said again, I remain open to correction, but feel linuxers in Mumbai have a golden opportunity to prove how they can useful to the community.
