With the Programm from ULEAD "Media Stufio 5 or Media Studio Pro" can
you load the TIFF Grafik and other Formats and Create an Video File as
MPEG.
The Program in this package is called "Video Paint".
I had test it on my Mashine, because I work with this Software.
More Infos in "WWW.ULEAD.DE" or "WWW.ULEAD.COM"
I hope I could help you

If you are looking for the most sweet Tuxes then visit www.emedia.de.
It's in German, I admit, but it should be relatively straight-forward. I
guess they will answer a mail in English language when sent to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unfortunatly there are no real pictures of the Tuxes
on their web page, as I remember.
But they are the real Tuxes. If you want to check them out, this is the

Steiner GmbH Spielwarenfabrik,

I think they can tell you if there are distributors outside Germany.

Hi
Recently I was trying to install RH6.0 on my 486 computer. Since this
m/c did not have CD I took its hardisk and mounted on another pentium
m/c and installed the software. Now when I bring it back to 486 m/c.It
doesn't boot as it was compiled on pentium +.Kernel goes in Panic mode
and stop working. Is there some I can boot this computer and recompile
the kernel???

Hi,
I get the following message at the login prompt after a bootup:

It's just a harmless message, but I would like to get rid of it so it

genpowerd as the power-failure software.

You could mount the drive, probably by putting it back into the Pentium
m/c (whatever that means), and recompile the kernel.
You could also use some kind of rescue disk or boot the old kernel from
lilo. What, you don't have a rescue disk or an old, working kernel
stacked away somewhere? You will in the future, hopefully.

seen any errata or whatever to explain this? (Seems to be the

I think you should consider the alliance of Germany, Italy, and Japan
before labeling these all regional conflicts. Germany also had a
nonagression pact with Russia that was used by Stalin to prepare for war
as quickly as possible. I believe, but am not certain, that the Axis were
also in Africa well before the entrance of the United States into the
melee. Lastly, Spain's civil war should be recalled.
How many countries/continents besides our's does it take to become a WORLD
war? (and it could be argued that we were involved from early on with the
leasing of ships)

Subject: TAR - Restore speed problem
Date: Tue, 06 Jul 1999 22:48:29 GMT
I'm currently restoring data from a few DLT 35/70
tapes for our main server. Specs: dual Xeon 500,
2GB RAM, RAID array, Adaptec 2944UW differential
controller and a Quantum 7000 DLT tape drive.
The tapes were made by another IS staff that said
they used a basic 'tar cf' to write to the tape.
On average they put about 10 machines on each
tape. The problem comes in restoring them, it is
pathetically sloooow. I have been using 'tar -
xvf /dev/nst0 -b 60' to restore the data. It's
restoring the data fine, but each machine off the
tape takes bewteen 3-5 hours to restore. The
first tape has about 11 GB of data on it and I
have another 7 tapes to go.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you
for your help,
Wayne

I think it's a bug in the UPS system, cause some systems make a
shutdown in case of power failure, and it seem logical that UPS check
if no other shutdown is running

I don't think you need to do this at all. Just installing it, without
doing any sndconfig stuff, should initialise it after a reboot. The
sndconfig if for configuring the supported sound cards, from what I
gather, and the SBLive! is not one of these, so sndconfig won't work.

If you try this, make sure you backup your current kernel. Take a look
at the Mini-HOWTO on compiling a kernel for RedHat. It tells you what to
watch out for and how to go about thing. The main trouble is adding the
correct `bits' into it so it works with your system. You need to know
what hardware you have (not graphics, since XFree86 deals with that), in
particular SCSI stuff, HDD and FDD, printers, network etc etc. If you
make a backup of your current kernel and find out you stuffed up with
your new build, you can quite easily revert to the old kernel without
missing a beat at all, so I wouldn't be too fussed about stuffing up
(just be sure to keep backups of the kernel). It took me about a dozen
goes before I got it right.

I'll second the motion for B&W ink jets myself. I've had a
Epson Stylus 800+ for 4 years now and it's been great. They have
a zillion emulations and it's hard not to find a driver that works.
I have native drivers for OS/2 and Win3.1 also. Fast and economical.
Only thing to watch for is to make sure that it doesn't sit too long
unused as the print head can dry any clog. Use it at least once a week.

Same as you would in microso~1: use double qutotes:

Hmmm...odd...I thought the default kernels were built for 386
compatibility.
Put the drive in the pentium, and do this:
# rpm -Uhv /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPM/kernel-source*.rpm
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make xconfig
Set the "Processor Family" to 386 (or 486)
Make SURE the SMP setting is set to NO.
Build the kernel (see
http://www.linux.ncsu.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html ) if this is new
to you.
