Thursday's meeting December 28, 2000 At the user's group, there were about 15 people. There were 3 computers being worked on. Stacey burnt a copy of the Linuxcare disk for Joe. http://open-projects.linuxcare.com/BBC/ If you need a bootable rescue disk this might be the way to go. It fits on one of the bootable small CD-R. So you can fit it in your pocket. I had my system in and Randolph helped me with a problem. He compiled a new kernel and showed Dave and me some new things about compiling. Like "make install && make modules_install" If the make install breaks the && prevents make modules_install will not start. Very cool. Thank you Randolph. I know I learn a little more each time I attend. For those of you who didn't make it Stacey and a couple others played a good practical joke on me. I had to go out to my truck to get something and when I came back. I looked at the monitor and everything was upside down. I started moving mouse and whatever I did it did the opposite. I asked what program they ran to get it to do that. I thought it might be a program I haven' seen. They all chuckled, well really laughing. Finally someone said look at the monitor. I looked and it was turned upside down. They had some papers on it so I wouldn't notice. Which I didn't. I was laughing at this point saying that was really, really good. I would recommend trying this to someone else if they have a good sense of humor. Stacey, I think figured out why the DSL drops out when Stan leaves. He thinks the DSL must be on a light switch so when Stan leaves and turns off his lights it turns off the power to the DSL. He would never know since when he comes back he turns on the lights and thus turning on the power to the DSL. But then again it just might be the DSL. Stan asked me if I wrote about using his site for a message board. If you would like to post something he would like it. http://disc.server.com/Indices/136726.html Go to his site and read his page. He really wants Linux to be used by the average user. I think he's doing a good job. A least let him know you took a look at his site. http://www.pc-train.net We left and went back to reality. I'll see you at the meeting. Tim
