The turnout was large considering the late
announcement. 5:30 pm was the
scheduled time but since there were some official
formalities required
we were delayed by an hour. Moreover finding the hall
was difficult for some people.
The arrangement was excellent. An LCD projector
would have completed our wish list. Otherwise we got
just everything we wnated -
enough seats, AC room, Good atmosphere, white board,
etc.
First each member gave a short self-introduction one
by one.
After that Indra gave his talk on building rpm
packages.
Demonstrated how to build a ".src.rpm" file and a
".rpm" (binary) file
once you have a source tree that complies and ready
for deployment.
He promised to put some of the slides online. 

On his box we also had a first look of the Bangla
Gnome and the Bangla KDE
desktops in Mandrake.

The meeting ended at about 8:30 pm.

Please add if I have missed any piont.

Hi All:

Got a laptop with Win XP Home, and considering to


add RH 8.0 as a second OS, eventually migrating to
Linux, since there are plenty of data in my laptop I
do not want to lose (as opposed to freshly start
with Linux as the sole OS and blow away the current
OS).


That said, I want a dual boot. I think, (and


please advise on this), I need a disk partitioning
software to begin with. The primary partition in my
machine is NTFS containing 15 GB (10 GB free space)
and a second partition is FAT 32 (5 GB). I use DIAS
for accessing the Internet. The machine runs on AMD
Duron with 128 MB RAM.


I tried to download Partition Magic software but


it was not a freeware. Would greatly appreciate if
you can advise on:


(a) A reliable freeware for partitioning the disk


(without losing data) - or the best way to partition
the disk


(b) Configuring DIAS (?threads at ilug-cal?) for


RHL


What must I know before trying to install Linux in


this situation? A few pointers to relevant sites
would be OK, I guess. I am a rookie with Linux.


Should you want to respond to me off the list,


please use [EMAIL PROTECTED]


TIA,
Arin



        try using 'Bootitng'. download it from the net.
DIAS configuration is
very much like a LAN configuration with nameservers
and  fixed IP
address and gateway.
