Re: Mandrake 10-Official experiences
Hi Robert Try booting, off disc 2, the Community edition had some similar problems, with cd rom drives. Mahesh Hi all, I thought, with another Installfest coming up, that I would share my recent experinces with Mandrake. Hardware - 2 old Compaq servers, A 6000 with PII/300 and 128 Mb RAM, and an AP500 with Dual PIII/450's and 256Mb RAM. (Both have SCSI hard drives) Mandrake 9.2 installed OK on both, the only problem was the ISA sound cards - both the ES1868n and the ES1869 were detected OK with sndconfig though) Mandrake 10-Official was not so successful:- On the Compaq 6000 it would boot up and just a few steps into the process told me that no CD drive was detected. There may be a way around this but it was not obvious to me. (9.2 worked fine) On the Compaq AP500 the installation went OK but even with sndconfig the ES1869 was not detected (9.2 worked fine). I am now trying an upgrade over 9.2 to see if that will get me the sound. Certainly looks good with Kernel 2.6 and KDE 3.2 though. (I have these at home on Gentoo) Any of you got any other war stories which may (or may not) help us before the Installfest? -- Robert Fisher www.fisher.net.nz = For Linux CD's check out http://www.xsolutions.co.nz Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!

LTSP via wireless?
Hey All, I want to explorer setting up some wireless client, to access LTSP on Gentoo.

Re: 100 Strands of Protected Fibre Ring in Riccarton
There is currently plenty of fibre around the place, tc offered us 100Mb full duplx to auckland for around 2k per month, no data limits. On another note, telecom's new ATM network (juiper) has become very unstable. So you planning on changing i would wait! Mahesh wrote At $250 for 2Mbs, assuming it's full-duplex, and has a genuine lack of data cap it would be very attractive to businesses who struggle under the silly ADSL plans available, as many clock up $400-$500 a month without breaking a sweat. Wonder how many businesses are in this position around Christchurch. Probably a bit steep for most home users, but depending on the Terms of Service I would consider it a very real option. (If I lived in CHCH, but I don't so I use what I can get.) Yes, when you put it in this light I agree.

Re: OT - quality media (Verbatim?)
Hi Yuri I have long since given up on the old floppies,(hugs USB pen drive.) but CDR can be 50/50. There arn't many cdr manufacture in the world. I think 5 at last count and they basicly compete on price per unit. So the low price one's like transonic/mr data etc can vary like the sea tide and should be given a pass. In my experience the bigger brands tends to be more stable eg Sony,Imation,Verbatum. But i still recamend burning disk's at 16x to get 100% compatabilty, with all cdr's. My 0.03 cent Mahesh Hi all, Back in the days of 5.25 floppies my father worked in IT and he always used nothing but Verbatim, swearing they're the best brand. Now I see Verbatim 3.5 disks and CD-Rs for sale, and I wonder if this still holds. I ran 'mcheck a:' on a bunch of old floppies I found in a drawer and the verbatim ones were error free while other brands had bad blocks. The Verbatim CD-Rs are about 2~3 times the price of other brands. Anyone got any experience with recently made Verbatim products?

Re: Port blocking
Hi Hamish You got a couple of options, 1. terminal services/citrix, for web access and lock it down. (Personal Fav, I don;t even let my users right click. :) ) 2. A managed router/switch to block tcp/udp to proxy IP, from there network. 3. A reg key which sets and locks the proxy settings via a login script and removed via log off script. 4. Sniff/Obtain the mac address of the offending students and block there traffic on the proxy. 5. Setup the proxy to accpect traffic only from filter and other systems and drop the rest. 6. Sniff/Obtain the mac address of the offending students and wave a wooden stick at them. Should last 1-4 weeks. :) Hope this helps. Mahesh We've currently got a problem with girls bypassing our web filtering system and connecting directly to our proxy server, a backdoor deliberately left for certain applications. They are only able to do it from the boarding house where some of them have their own laptops. The boarding house is its own physical network, linked via a fibre optic cable to the rest of our network. Changing anything in the server setup is not really practical as some applications need to talk directly to the proxy server and need to be hard coded to do so. However, I can place something between the boarding house network and the rest of the network. I was thinking an IP Cop firewall which will allow all traffic from the boarding house thru except port 8080. Will this work? Is there a better way of doing it?

Re: OT: Jetstream Xfer Rates (was Re: Huge Telecom Bill)
We are converting from ADSL to DSL over Frame shortly and it has a 4Mbps connection, with Unmilited Nat and 20 gig international. On our current ADSL we max out around 400k down. I think the speed issues is due to the distance from the exchnage. I didn't think ADSL suffered the same problems as cable where it shares the pipe. Does anyone on jetsream get 3mbit/sec ? Telecom doesn't give it to you unless it's at least 2Mbit/s. Even with [...] Does anyone here know how they achieve that technically? 2 Mbps is quite possible, as long as only one subscriber on a bundle cable wants it, but once the neighbour wants it too, it may get a bit difficult, not even speaking of a higher market penetration. Or does Telecom really measure and qualify the cables for every new customer? Then they would have to dig in new cables every time the specs are not met with the existing cabling. But this would be really costly. I know of other countries where residential customers get a guarantee of something between 500 kbps and 1 Mbps downstream, and much less upstream, and only business customers (paying a higher price) would get the higher rates up to 4 Mbps.

Re: OT: Jetstream Xfer Rates (was Re: Huge Telecom Bill)
yup thats right nick, the same copper thats used for the phones which just plugs into a dslam, which telecome installs at the exchange when they setup the line. Thats why people who have fibre cannot have ADSL, they need Fibre multiplextor which not cheap. My digital answer phone can record modem sounding sounds in the back ground if i plug it in directly to the jack without the spilter.

Re: areeee redhat is turning into M$!!!
Fair call. Bad burns, dud media can be replaced relatively quickly, 99% of the time its the drive optics that needs a clean. The problem i have is 95% of the code on these are not developed by redhat staff. But a army of developers working on there own time. Does this action not violate the GPL, by not letting the software be redistrobuted? I wonder how many first time users of XYZ distro have been frustrated because the install process stalls due to poor quality CDs? I wonder if those users switched to ABC distro or reverted M$ instead as a result. I'm starting to side with RedHat.

Re: areeee redhat is turning into M$!!! ethics
snip, the yast system is not released under GPL is it?, so it would make distribution very hard without it. Mahesh The network install situation with SuSE is no worse than that with Debian. The ftp-install from the SuSE ftp server is current, so is the live eval CD. Nobody is stopping you from putting the SuSE ISOs online, just the same as you do with your RH ones. Nobody is stopping you from setting up a full SuSE mirror either, and if you tell them about it, they'll add you to the mirror list. There is no commercial software included in the SuSE distribution, other than some demos which anyone can download for free anyway. And you can still make copies and call it SuSE...

Re: Wireless lan
Nicks right on this one, the cables have about a 0.4dbm loss per meter, and around 1db for the connectors. plus some AP can be powered by power over ethernet or USB. For the first node/demo, a single PC would be fine .. although probably not a laptop. Later on each site would probably have an internal LAN. For at least one of the sites, the aerial would have to be a very long away from the user's computer ... from what i have read it is not a good idea to have too long a cable from the wireless card to the aerial. It is probably better to get a 486 laptop with a pcmcia slot, put the wireless card in there and use it as a gateway to your ethernet network. In oother words, ethernet cables stretch further that aerial cables. -- Nick Rout [EMAIL PROTECTED] = For Linux CD's check out http://www.xsolutions.co.nz http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

I understand that the HO PC's will be replaced with Citrix terminals that display a win 2000 desktop and run the usual office MS apps from the central server.

citrix linux
Hi Jason Citrix has been around for a long time.. and i don't think are in danger of being eaten up by M$. Here is blast from the past.. AT A GLANCE: MultiWin technology turns W indows NT Server into a multiuser OS: It lets you run desktop applications on a server while controlling them from inexpensive terminals. Mahesh Damn reply to headers... =) Hate that reply all thing Yup, I do know a LITTLE of the Citrix history but didn't it just get bought by MS?? If so, we can assume they'll embrace and um, extinguish it. Cheers J Mahesh De Silva wrote: Hi Jason Cirtix is not all bad, there linux support is excelent. Me and my co-worker use it on our linux work stations and is very good. There support for linux is NZ anyway is great. You do realise that citrix originaly developed the multiuser windows system.. (called multi win) which they sold as product and MS$ bought/licenced it off them and then developed RDP/terminal services. Mahesh I hope their network falls over then...serves em right, Citrix is now owned by MS right =) Cheers J Lance BLACKLER wrote: Well Jason is probably more correct - the reality is that all of the desktop PC's at head office are windows machines - I personally have a win 2000 machine - as are the branch managers PC's - only the branch counter machines and a couple of other's that I have seen in the branches run Linux (that is still 300 or so units though). I understand that the HO PC's will be replaced with Citrix terminals that display a win 2000 desktop and run the usual office MS apps from the central server. Most of the people that travel a lot have a laptop that they plug into a CRT display and keyboard etc in their office - don't know what will happen to these - they will presumably get to keep them - also running windows of course.

Hey all.. Call me crazy.. but i thought mandrake had all the dial up settings etc... for most major NZ ISP's? I think its time i checked into the Alan Cox's Distro clinic. I cannot remember which distro had what.. Mahesh. It's a good job that the general public stand a fair chance at using this one. I did some bits aimed at the novice user for a Web Browser instead of Mozilla. Few will know what Mozilla means, and all they will care is if it works or not. The way it's been done is that the modem is built-in, the local ISP is primed to handle that particular configuration of the machine, the user just has to figure out how to plug it in and buy an account. With luck and a little experience, pre-configured trial accounts could be shipped with each machine - if there are enough takers for it.

Re: cheap RAM and other stuff - CLUG Store?
Hi Steve This is a good idea.. i am keen helpout. But the idea might be too formal for current clug structure.. Mahesh. If someone can give me a set of Mandrake 9 Redhat 8 CDs then I'll sell them a 512Mb PC133 DIMM at cost, which is considerably better than $160 + GST... I'll even drop the RAM off to you to pick up the CDs... It would be first in, first served... although would anyone be interested in helping set up a CLUG store? I have access to all the main suppliers throughout the country through my business, so can provide the product - and the idea of having a truly linux-focused outlet (albeit an e-outlet) might be a good thing. I don't have the time or the energy at the moment to design or support a website (be it informational with email and phone ordering or an e-commerce one) specifically for this, but I can provide product at extremely good prices. The profit could be used to help pay for things like the installfests, meetings (and tea / coffee / food for them), a library, etc... I guess this would make the club one step more into the realms of a business and require a bit more 'management' so it might not be a good idea from that perspective, but I thought it might be an idea to throw up for discussion... Failing all that, I am happy to provide product to CLUG members at good prices... Maybe I could just make a list of Linux-friendly products and make a (roughly) bi-weekly pricelist for members?
