In XCDRoast 0.98alpha5, in the Write Tracks section, there's a
part there for blanking CDs. just hit that, and you're good to go. :)
I'm using that, with cdrecord-1.8.1, and haven't had any problems yet.

But you can have a linuxfloppy mount point for ext2 floppies and a
dosfloppy for vfat floppies, and have both associated with /dev/fd0 in
/etc/fstab.

Date: Tue, 09 May 2000 07:07:41 GMT
JONAS is a decent Open-Source EJB server and very easy to configure up
and running on Linux. Windows users have to convert unix-like scripts
to .bat files.
EJBOSS has some very good features, such as fully automatic and
dynamic deployment of ejb components at start-up. Unfortunately it
does not yet support multiple datasources. You can only use one
database for all the CMP persistencies. I am sure this restriction
fades away in a future versions.
I had some problems running it on top of InstantDB, but took a closer
look at the source codes (open-source rules). You have to modify
/conf/system.properties file to point your database. This was easy.
Problems was trying to run "testclient" test suite. I had to create
the appropriate tables to InstantDB before running it. It could not
create them on fly even that was trying to do so.
Unfortunately I don't have access to my home computer to check for
table name syntax, but it was the name of entity bean with _ letter.
(something like "nextgen_EntityBeanXXXX" with one varchar(30) column
"name").
Interesting point was, that EJBOSS is using some of the JONAS class
files.

Hi A_C,
I do want to help. What I was wanting to point out is the point that numerous
people are asking the same questions over and over again and want to be
spoonfed with answers and help. And the realplayer and mpeg player is one of
these questions that have been answered dozens of times. So you don't even
have to ask, the answers are right there :-) !

Subject: CD-RW weirdness
Date: Tue, 09 May 2000 07:20:01 GMT
I'm having trouble with my CD-RW drive. On boot, I get a slew of
"hdd: driver not present" messages. I can burn to it with XCDRoast,
but I can't mount the cd after burning it. (It mounts fine in my
CDROM, though -- hdc -- so I know the burn went OK.) The message I
get trying to mount is
mount: /dev/cdrom2 is not a valid block device
The /dev entries are like this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 3 14:10 cdrom -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 9 00:04 cdrom2 -> hdd
I saw a post here saying that Mandrake 7's got some fugly ide /
ide-scsi emulation set up here, and indeed I remember XCDRoast
configured to use the SCSI IDE driver mmc. So I changed the
/etc/fstab entry to use /dev/scd0 instead of /dev/cdrom2.
Great, it mounted fine. I unmounted the disk. When I tried to
mount it again later, I got
mount: /dev/scd0 has wrong major or minor number
What is going on here?

you can't have scsi support as a module if you want to boot from a scsi
disc
it must be compiled into your kernel

All I had to do was fix the link to my burner the install created (i.e.
make it point to a scsi). I just typed <ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom2>
(as root).

I don�t think that your box or sendmail is the limiting factor. If your
network connection can�t handle that big amount of data, you should
upgrade to a better line.
Perhaps setting up a caching name server could reduce traffic a bit, but
I don�t know if the lookups really matter.

Just editing these files won�t help. You have to rerun LILO to make the
changes valid.
I think it should be possible to boot an emergency system from your
installation CD and do the changes. (I don�t know about RedHat, but in
SuSE you can do this).
Good luck

Hi All,
Thanks for the answers.....
Now I think everything is working...
I worked on it yesterday evening....
According to my research....
1. I can see the files of the CD-RW on my friend's computer with new
CD-Drive... and Windows 98.
2. I cannot see the files of CD-RW on my old Windows machine (neither
Linux partition of it) Because it has an OLD CD-Drive. I think If I
write on CD-R Disk then I can read CD-R on my old Windows9x machine.
3. I couldn't see the files of CD-RW on CD-RW machine with Linux because
I have ATAPI cd-rw drive and... For Linux we have to make it ide-scsi...
so now the cd-rw device is /dev/scd0..... I was trying /dev/hdc. Now it
is working on my new Linux machine.
The 2nd point I still have to confirm....
If you have any questions then drop me an Email...
my email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Best Of Lucks,
Vivek

The parallel Port Zip drives are considered to be SCSI discs. There are
two different drivers (ppa and imm) depending on the age of your device.
If you look at the HOWTOs, they will tell you the rest.

A Linux boot partition has to be EXT2 (some exceptions, unimportant here),
I think LOADLIN is what you need to start Linux from a Dos partition.
