I am a Linux novice, used to Win32 so far. Autopartition threw some error messages I couldnt fathom, & disk druid has a maze of options that left me dizzy. I have 4 partitions of which one (F: in windows) is 11Gb on which I wish to install Linux. C: has Win98. Is there a really simple or ready way that I can just select this drive(hda7 or whatever) & install linux & swap partition & stuff on it ? BTW I'm trying out PCQlinux 8.0 Thanks, --Royce.

[HUMOUR] The evil behind Linux
by bagheera1980 30 Apr '03

30 Apr '03

Hello everyone, Here is a very funny piece about Linux. Hope u enjoy it. From: Egg Troll (eggtroll(a)yahoo.com) Subject: Is Linux a Machination of Satan? Newsgroups: alt.fan.jesus-christ, comp.os.linux, comp.os.linux.advocacy, alt.religion.christian, talk.atheism Date: 2002-05-18 11:27:46 PST Hello, Recently I've been introduced to an operating system known as Linux. Lured by its low cost, I replaced Windows 98 on my computer with Linux. Unfortunately the more I use it the more I fear that this "Linux" may be an insidious way for the Dark One to gain a stronger foothold here on Earth. I know this may be a shocking claim, but I have evidence to back it up! To begin with, Linux runs numerous background processes. These processes are usettlingly termed "demons." Furthermore in order to start or stop these "demons" a user must execute a command called "finger". By "fingering" a "demon" one excercises an unholy power, much the same way that the Lord of Flies controls his black minions. Also consider some of these other Linux commands: "sleep", "mount", "unzip", "strip" and "touch". All highly suggestive in a sexual nature. I know that our Lord cannot approve of these, and I urge them to be renamed to something appropriate to the Christian community. Third, Linux uses a flavor of DOS known as Bash. Bash is an acronym for "Bourne Again Shell". On the surface this would appear to be supportive of the Lord. However, remember that even Satan can quote the bible for his own purposes! While I believe Linux may be born-again, its obvious by the misspelling of "born" that its not born-again in an Christian church. Will the lies ever cease? Additionally, one of the main people involved with the GNU Free Software Foundation supports contraception and abortion. His web site even advocates government support of contraception. He also wears fake halos, and has quips about his made-up church that relates to his free software. I find such blasphemy to be extremely unsettling. One must also remember that the creator of Linux, a college student named Linux Torvaldis, comes from Finland. I'm sure all the followers of Christ are aware of the heritical nature of the Finnish: from necrophilia to human sacrifice, Finnish culture is awash in sin. I find little reason to believe anything good and holy could arise from this evil land. Finally, let us remember that there is an alternative to using the Satan-powered Linux. I think history has shown us that Microsoft is quite holy. I'm told that its founder, William Gates is a strong supporter of our Lord and I encourage my fellow Christians to buy only his products to help keep the Devil at bay.

>I recently installed linux 8.0 >But facing some problems: >1. Unable to detect modem To check whether your modem is detected try wvdialconf (maybe that probably might help) >2. Unable to access data of windows from linux and vice-versa How did you try to access the windows partition.You should know in which partition windows is installed and then try to mount that partition(e.g suppose i have hda1 as my primary windows partition(C: drive) give the command mount /dev/hda1 mountpoint(any dir), and if it still complains try to give the type of the partition(VFAT,NTFS etc) with the mount command.) You should have the module support/builtin for the required partition type in the kernel before doing this.try doing cat /proc/filesystems to see the supported filesystems. >3. Where to do programming unable to find editor etc. i didnt get this question. >4. where are files of linux source code stored as it as open >source > software the source code should be present in /usr/src/linux-version if you installed the sources >5. Linux automatically boots after 7 seconds. Can this setting >be changed OK.once you boot into linux,as root open the file /etc/lilo.conf and edit the timeout=tsecs value. This sets a timeout (in tenths of a second) for keyboard input.If no key is pressed for the specified time, the first image is automatically booted. you can also change the default image to load by this parameter default=name of the label u have given(e.g linux/dos/windows etc) rohit Life is a sexually transmitted disease.

hi deepali, i can help you as much i can on mails, but iam not a guru on the topic though.You will find the links iam sending with this mail REALLY helpful.If u face any other problems then let me know. very good for writing a basic filesystem http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/AY2002/cs3210_fall/p5/p5.html another site to understand the basic VFS layer http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/AY2002/cs3210_fall/p5/p5.html this is the list of filesystems under development http://www.falconweb.com/~mattg/linuxfs/ You have to do some digging, but to do look at the code of ramfs/romfs(/usr/src/linux/fs/ramfs or romfs) to get the knowledge of how to write a simple linux filesystem module. I guess if u do some reading of the kernel sources and with these links you will be up with a simple filesystem module.If you face any problems you can contact me in this group or mail me. rohit Life is a sexually transmitted disease.

[OT]Suggestions for a Notebook
by Sthitaprajna 27 Apr '03

27 Apr '03

Hi I am looking to buy a notebook(my first one) and am sort of confused. The sort of specs I am looking at are (for a minimum): 1. 1.7 GHz Celeron 2. 256M RAM(expandable to quite a lot) 3. Some sort of 4x agp 4. 30G hdd 5. Internal combo cd/dvd/writer 6. Should be decently compatible with *nix...I will be on a LAN, so modem support is not really important, though it would be a plus if it were supported. My budget would be something around $1200... Can listers suggest a few models/makes that have decent support in India? and any other points that i need to be aware of before buying?

hi-- The Dell Inspiron and Toshiba Satellite (which I own) are good buys for that price.I dont know about the availability of both those though back in India.Dell sells laptops here in the US only thru their website. they have good support for Linux.I have Mdk 9.0 running on my Toshiba Satellite 1400-S105 (1.2GHz celeron,256 megs ram, 30gb hdd, Intel EEpro ethernet card,CyberAlladin-T video accelerator card).The internal modem doesnt work on Linux.but i have no issues otherwise. also you might want to think about the Apple I-book, the entry level ones are sub 1000$.how about installing Linux PPC? regards -Nikhil >I am looking to buy a notebook(my first one) and am sort of confused.

I am trying to install Redhat 9 on ASUS (A7N266-VM) Motherboard having AMD XP 2200+ (1.8Ghz) processor. After installation the system freezes on: "Finding module dependencies:" I dont know how to go about getting my Redhat 9 to work. Its a dual boot with Windows. I am using LILO as my Boot-Loader. My keyboard locks up as well as I can't do Ctrl + C at that point. Is there some specific kernel parameter required for AMD Systems? Or is there any other linux distro which would work on this system. TIA. Rupessh

[OT] Is your PC legal?
by Nikhil Joshi 23 Apr '03

23 Apr '03

Hi! I've observed that somehow people advocating Linux bring morality into picture. They argue about illegal (pirated) Windows and how bad it is (morally) to use one. Here is a checklist for all those paranoid about having their PC legal: (Please add to this list something that I might have missed ) 1. Is your PC or some part of it ( RAM,HDD,graphics card ) bought from grey market ? If yes you can safely assume that it is illegal. The required taxes have been evaded. 2. Do you have Mp3z on your Hard-Disk? Linux or Windows , they are completely illegal ( Why are you making MP3z if you own the CD ? If for giving it to friends then thats illegal too !). Its illegal even if you have burnt them on your CD instead of keeping them on your HDD 3. Do you have DivX/MPEG files of latest movies ? It is illegal. 4. Does your homepage/HDD have gif's. Arguably they are illegal too. (Some compression patent problems I believe) Here's my PC's status: 1. Bought from grey market. I lose the battle in first step itself ;) 2. Yep not a single mp3 on my HDD. 3. not a single MPEG/DivX 4. Dont have a homepage so no gif's created by me that are on the HDD My point: Windows user is on equal moral grounds (regarding legality of his/her PC) if a Linux user satisfies any of the criteria. There cannot be something less illegal. Either it is legal or it is not. P.S. (While I may be sounding Windows advocate let me tell you that I have only two OS'es on my PC : Linux and Dos (the command.com from the rescue disk of Windows 98, which is licensed, but not mine. I guess that's legal too as Microsoft, I guess, does not say that you must possess a legal copy of Windows 98 to use the command.com , Anywayz I use command interpreter of FreeDos) Nikhil

Unusual Problem using Java Plugin with Mozilla
by Rajen M. Parekh 20 Apr '03

20 Apr '03

Hi all, I have installed JRE 1.4.0 downloaded from Sun Microsystems. I am trying to run a java applet in Mozilla, but I am facing an unusual problem. When I am running mozilla as a normal user, it crashes if I try to load the java applet. But if I run mozilla as root, then the java applet is correctly loaded and runs smoothly. I can't figure out the problem. I read the java installation docs and the setup seems to be perfectly allright. I have also checked out mozilla.org. But my problem is a bit different, since the applet is running if I run mozilla as root, but not otherwise. Any pointers ? I am using Red Hat Linux 8.0. (Full Installation - i.e. installed all the packages), and Mozilla 1.0.1. Regards, Rajen. P.S. 1 : I still haven't found a solution for being able to use all the fonts (True Type) installed on the system, while using some gtk+ applications. Eg. Abiword, Gnumeric, Gedit, etc. I had posted a mail earlier in this regard. Still awaiting for some feedback. P.S. 2: For Pine users moving towards GUI, I recommend Open Webmail (a Web based Email Client). Has most (not all) of the features of Pine. Additionally has facility for accessing POP3 mails. What I miss most is the keystrokes of Pine. With Mozilla, I have yet to get used to finding the right keys. But GUI users comfortable with using mouse should find it worth giving a try. -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org)

[OFFTOPIC] Please help, looking for framegrabbers for linux
by Rahul Saxena 20 Apr '03

20 Apr '03

Hello, We ( students Fr. CRCE, final year, BE electronics ) are doing a project for developing a system similar to the ones used in robosoccer. (http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~robosoccer/) NO one we know of has implemented the whole robosoccer system yet, in India. One of the major aspects of this involves using real-time image processing for finding out the locations of robots and the ball in the game. We have developed most of the stuff using IntelOpenCV computer vision library and using personal USB webcams, however we are not able to get the required performance with these cameras.. *the frame rate is really slow ( average 2 fps ) *the image quality is also bad we are wondering if anyone can lend us any frame grabber cards which have linux drivers, for a couple of weeks, so that we can really test the efficiency of our routines and stuff like that. we can use both the routines and the webcam under windows, but then really we will be missing the point of doing a project like this ! any pointers are appreciated !

Misuse of 'hacker', again
by Manish Jethani 19 Apr '03

19 Apr '03

Here's yet another great example of the gross misuse of the term 'hacker' by the under-informed media: http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/apr2003/tc20030416_7638_tc02… A quick search on google, for some background: http://www.google.com/search?q=misuse+of+term+hacker Imagine how angry a Muslim would be at an article titled "Should You Hire a Muslim?"--the author going by the assumption that all Muslims are terrorists. If you're a Muslim living in the US post 9/11, or if you have Muslim friends in a similar situation, you'll understand what I mean. Just as all Muslims are not terrorists (it's a real, real shame we have to explain this to some over-patriotic jerk in the US), all hackers are not social outlaws who break into systems to steal private data or cripple the system. A good hacker is capable of such stuff, and some hackers do, but the vast majority don't! Kevin Mitnick *might* be a hacker--I don't know, I don't care. Even if he is a hacker, he's also a guy, white, American, etc. and his name begins with 'K'. Is it fair to say that all white American guys whose names begin with 'K' are criminals? A hacker is only as likely to be a lawbreaker as, say, a carpenter, doctor, sportsperson, soldier, musician, lawyer (yes!) or even policeman. I'm proud to be associated with the hacker community of GNU, Linux and the Internet, and I urge my fellow hackers to raise their voices against such tarnishing use of our name. -Manish -- disclaimer: "The statements and opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of Oracle Corporation."
