Hi,
I want to roll my own Linux-based vision system, and I need some sort of
camera that will integrate with a pentium PC running Linux (or windows,
if absolutely necessary).
I'm looking for pointers to both hardware (camera and I/O card) as well
as references of related research or hobbyist experiences.
The application will be viewing a subject that moves frequently (backyard
birds), identifying them and targeting them (for non-violent purposes :-).
Thanks for any help.

Subject: FrontPage extensions installation - what's it doing?
Date: Sun, 04 Apr 1999 16:08:33 GMT
I'd like to install the latest Frontpage extensions on my Slackware
Linux server (latest Slackware release as of a month ago...).
I understand that it's going to install its own version of httpd, and do
a lot of stuff under /usr/local/frontpage/, but what else is it going to
do? I started to look through the install script, but it's nearly 1300
lines with no documentation.
Also, do I *have* to use the Apache daemon that they supply?
They sure don't make the installation easy. It's almost as though
Microsoft doesn't WANT me to run under Linux!
BTW - If anyone has any cautions about installing the extensions, I'd be
interested to hear them. Simply "don't do it - it's a bad idea" isn't
very helpful, because I'll lose quite a few hosting customers if they
can't use FrontPage.
Thanks in advance.

Not to side track anyone from the possible LiLo issues here, but I've seen
perfectly good NT installations go down with the above error and Linux and LiLo
where nowhere near the installation. This was on an NT installation that was
running fine for months and was just rebooted with out any changes. I only
throw that out as a possibility, simply because Linux may not even be the issue.

I am looking for a version of Linux that runs entirely off of RAM
without any HD installation.
I have narrowed the candidates down to either Yggdrasil Linux or Trinux.
The version will be implemented on a stand-alone (no NIC) Windows based
PC.
Any input from users as to the pro's and con's of either of these
distributions would be great.

I do know that my ISP flatly refuses to install the FrontPage extensions
due to the security risks they present. My understanding is that the way
Microsoft implemented them makes it far too easy for someone else to go
and upload their pages to your site and otherwise mess with your stuff.
Frankly I find FTP and telnet ( or better yet scp and ssh ) to be a better
choice.

I found out about it on the archives of one of the Sparc mailing

Yes, but the Linux camp has the source code, and has demonstrated that
discovery of a bug can result in a fix in less than 24 hours - in fact
there has been at least one time when 3 new releases of the Linux kernel
were out in 1 day!
On the other hand, Microsoft's source isn't even available to everyone
at Microsoft, and few if any people there have ever had access to all of
it at once. It takes them far longer to discover and/or admit to a bug,
and even longer to issue the patches. More often the patches get put
into the next release and we have to pay for them!
Reboot, re-install, upgrade - the mantra of Windows - all flavours.

Yes - as long as you don't let a user on it - because one lowly user can
screw up the system by clicking on "upgrade" on one lowly program.
This also applies to Linux, but doesn't happen nearly as often because
the people that program the applications for Linux don't tend to include
new library modules that have to run with root priviledges and change
the whole operating system like DLLs do.

Some asshole = user
If you let them near the computer, they can/will do things simply
because they can, and there is nothing you can do about it except do
backups. Even if the system has no floppy there is still a strong
possiblilty that the user can/will put something into their area that
the system will load and subvert your careful setups.

Windows is for techies - the problem is that it doesn't have any way of
distinguishing a casual user from the chosen administrator. That's what
things like 'root' on a Unix/Linux system is for. The user should
_NEVER_ have access to root - or the things it can do - except through
carefully crafted SETUID type programs, and should never need it. The
problem with the Windows programming paradigm is that it has no true
concept of such priviledge.
And when was the last time you heard of a non-tech user properly
installing Windows from scratch on an empty PC? I've been doing this for
countless years now, and I still have problems! None that I can't figure
out, but then I'm a techie. Linux is no different from Windows except in
one way - it doesn't come pre-installed on every PC at your local
big-box retailer (yet). If everyone had to install their own copy of
Windows I think you'd see a lot less of this BS about which is easier.
I've installed Red Hat of various flavours on numerous systems including
MK-Linux on a MAC, and had less problems (with the exception of getting
X-windows to work) than I've had with Windows. I've taken the hard drive
out of a Linux configured '386 and put it into a P200 Pentium Pro and
had it run flawlessly from first boot! I can't say the same about
Windows - it insists on going through and completely replacing all the
various chipset drivers and such - and still gets things screwed up -
and despite all this "tweaking" that the system does to make sure things
are exactly what is "necessary", it still runs slower than Linux.
And even the X-windows stuff is mostly related to the fact that the poor
devils that are writing the drivers don't have access to the tech specs
for the various chip - and so have to reverse engineer them.

I doubt that you have a hacker in your system. My system "goes crazy"
every day around 4 am. That's when "cron" decides to run my
/etc/cron.daily/* files. One thing done in this is an "updatedb".
This function scans all the mounted filesystems. It is creating a
database of files which can then be found with the "locate" command.
And this function runs as "nobody".

Apparently USR wants AT&F0 rather than just AT&F
You can see from the report of the chat string whether it got upset with
the AT&F line. ATZ is dangerous, as it simply impliments the setup which
was stored in the modem sometime in the past. what is in that setup is
of course hard to know. I much rather use AT&F0 since then you at least
know where you are starting from. Then add extras as needed.

A normal cable for an external modem goes from the COM port connector
of a computer to the connector on the modem. A null modem cable goes
from the COM port connector of a computer, to the COM port connector
of another computer. Using a null-modem cable, you'd have a serial
connection to the other computer. I'm not sure if you can use PPP with
a serial set up (although that's not saying much--there's a lot of things
I'm not sure of in Linux) but you can use SLIP (serial line interface
protocol
or something) for sure.
I'm not sure how you'd look at their registry, as even Win95 can't look
at a registry of another computer.
Just my 2 cents

getting confused over its IP address and trying to send ICMP Echo
Request.
That is an error diagnostic packet, , if I ma correct. It looks like I
have something missconfigured on my server side
Any suggestions

Hi all,
This problem has happened to me twice in the last two years, but
frustrating nonetheless. The problem? I'm working away, and for no
apparent reason, my machine just locks up, and the only way to get it back
is to hit the reset button to reboot. I've captured the error message, and
that's below: (sorry for the formatting. some of the lines are rather
long)

At the time of this happening, I wasn't doing anything out of the
ordinary. Just playing MP3s in the background (w/ mpg123) and using
Lynx to read Slashdot. (and in X)
My machine is:
tyan tomcat 1564d
dual p200MMX
64MB
6.4GB Maxtor (all linux)
5GB Maxtor (all linux)
6.4GB Western Digital (all linux)
4MB Matrox Mystique
ISA LinkSys 10Mb NIC
Awe32
If any of you could help me decipher this information to prevent this from
happening again, I'd be much obliged.
Mike
