[uug] Backup Solution
Ok, in light of my USB Drive failure/scare/recovory I've decided to add another layer to my backup solution. (If it's not coppied twice it might as well be gone). Here's what I'm looking for. A little utility/program/suite whatever that I can point at what I want to backup and have it create backup files in the appropriate size to backup to DVDs. (DVD backup has a higher wife acceptance rate than external USB drive). I've looked into amanda, I think it will do all I want. (backup to external usb drive, AND files big enough for DVD). It seem rather complicated. any other suggestions.

I know at 1280x1024 X- plane can do about 50 FPS, but it's also limited by the program to reserve CPU time for the fluid dynamics and Newtonian physics stuff that it has to calculate in real time.

You can trivially reset the root password to the box if you have physical access to it. The easiest way is to boot into single user mode--are you using grub or LILO? With LILO you just type linux single at the prompt, and with grub you simply add single to the end of the kernel line. Alternatively you can use any rescue or Live cd, mount the root partition, chroot to wherever you mounted it, and run the passwd command.

I did have one instance where a forced reset did involve some data coruption, the jornaling did not recover it but the reiser tools did. Wifey has killed the mythtv box many times with a reset and there has not been any problem with reiserfs or xfs yet. (6 months). I did find that on my mythtv box that xfs was had much better performance on multiple disks configured in LVM than reiser. My experience: ext3 for /boot reiser for everything else xfs for special high demand partition. _\ | /_ (@ @) -oOOo-(_)-oOOo- ~Mark ~Gardner BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.

[uug] Latex Question
Is there anyway to convert a latex document to MS Word, Openoffice doc, or other document format. What i have is a paper with math expression to turn in to the TA. The requirement is that the TA must be able to edit the text portion of the document. I'd love to start using latex but this seems to be the show stopper. -- _\ | /_ (@ @) -oOOo-(_)-oOOo- ~Mark ~Gardner BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
