Hi all
What is the NT equivalent of the linux/unix command:
mount -o loop -t iso9660 <isofilename> <mountpoint>
This mounts an ISO image file (NOT CD) which allows you
to look at the files it contains and get files out of it.
I find that under windows NT I need to burn a CD first before
I can see the files.

HI,
I'am not sure of the concerned group ...?
Can i record a TV-program with a MATROX G 400 TV on a Linux Box ?
My problem is to record periodically a TV program on (little) video file
server and to read it
on MacOs or window$ boxes with programs like Quicktime.
Are there drivers and programs that permit to do something like that :
(the program is suppose to be name "vcr")
Instant record:
vcr --channel=cable --duration=30minutes </dev/matroxg400tv \
>/var/videoflash/2000091500
Periodic record :
with a crontab entry
0 9 * * 1 /usr/bin/vcr --channel=cable --duration=30minutes
</dev/matroxg400tv \
>/var/videonews/2000091500
same without crontab entry
vcr --channel=cable --period=week --day=Monday --begin=09:00
--end=09:30 \
--device=/dev/matroxg400tv >/var/videonews/2000091500
Thanks,
Christian

This cannot be done with board-commands of nt, but maybe some ports cannot
do it. (ie the cygwin-collection contains lot of ported commands including
mount, but I dont know if it can handle iso-filetypes)
maybe some cd-burn-software can give you a sneak-preview before burning.

The answer depends on what you want to do. VI is available on almost
every Linux/Unix system, no matter how "thin" it is configured you
will always find a vi on these systems. Emacs is a powerful thing and
for software development etc. the editor of your choice (imho).

I have tried every suggestion under the sun to get java working under NS
for a couple of years now. As of NS 4.75, it still locks up. If I turn
java off, NS 4.75 is quite reliable for me. Turn java on, and it's just
a matter of a few minutes before it freezes. Oh well.

Making a simple search for "ocr" at Freshmeat (at

(three projects on optical character recognition).

Same with me. I have tried different NS-versions (up to 4.73) but
nothing could solve that problem. Java and Netscape are just two
things that don't go together, such as CSS 2.0 and Netscape, HTML 4.0
and NS, xyz and NS... You name it... After having been a fanatic user
of NS I'm so disappointed meanwhile that I will dump it asap. At the
moment I'm using VMware and WinNT 4 just to have a decent browser
which can handle Java, JS, HTML 4.0, CSS 2.0 and all that stuff
without showing strange results or crashes... If anyone knows a
browser for Linux which can do all that, please let me know!
Cheers,
Manfred

Actually, Im very comfortable with Linux and have a few MS boxes at home,
not to mention the NT box Im on right now from work. I suggested to remove
the windows machines simply because I remember when I first started. I
would get enormously frustrated and instead of trying to look for help or
press through, I just plopped down on my windows box and used it between
BSODs. I didn't really get to move on Linux until I had a project in mind
and my windows box became a victim of a bootable CD. Once the crutch was
gone, things clicked. I only have windows machines around now because my
roommate is a windows freak and insists on having them, and it's easier to
support my parents problems when I have a box to look at while Im on the
phone. For my uses, Linux and FreeBSD provide me a much easier environment
to develop on. Next time, try not to read so far into things, it helps you
look less arrogant.

But I can only change the base i/o with the 3com config tool, cause I
can't turn off PNP mode :(
according to ifconfig, the first NIC ( eth0 ) has irq 10 / base i/o
0x300; and the second NIC ( eth1 ) has irq 11 / base i/o 0x320. So it
should work... but it doesn't. However, if I remove one of the cards,
the other one works....

Yes, that is what I meant. By the way, Jefferey, locate and use

Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 14:35:27 GMT
Hi,
I have an Athlon 700Mhz running on an ASUS K7V (with latest BIOS
update) with 128MB RAM, 40GB Hard Disk and also a Voodoo3 as its Video
Card. It is running Linux Mandrake 7.1xx and my problem is that on
three (maybe four) occassions now I leave the machine unnattended for
about a day or two (maybe more) and when I come back it is totally
unresponsive. It seems to be in sleep, but it doesn't respond to any
Network request, much less any Keyboard or Mouse input and all I'm
left
to do is reboot the machine by pressing the reset button. I have
disabled all Power Management features in the BIOS, and that not being
enough tried to disable the Laptop battery management service and any
other serive that might be power related (from the services dialog box
where you check and uncheck them). Unfortunately the problem is still
there and the system, after a few days of no one logging in, will
enter
this state. This machine is meant to stay on 24/7. Any help will be
really appreciated.
---Also I would have posted this in 'linux.help' but this service
wouldn't let me!

Subject: umount problem w/ nfs
Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2000 09:53:22 -0500
Hi,
Here's the set up: I am running nfs on three different linux boxes in my office, RH
6.1,
RH 5.2 and Slackware. On the RH 6.1 box, I have a ZIP drive, attached through the
parallel
port. Before an nfs mount, I can mount and unmount the zip drive (on /mnt/zip) with
impunity, and never have a problem.
I have exported this file system via the folllowing line in /etc/exports:
/mnt/zip 128.97.0.0/255.255.0.0(rw,no_root_squash)
On the RH 5.2 box, /etc/fstab contains the following entry:
rh6.1:/mnt/zip /doszip nfs user,noexec,dev,nosuid,rw,noauto,hard,intr,rsize=8192
,wsize=8192,nfsvers=2 0 0
Now, on the RH 5.2 box, I do
(RH 5.2)$ mount /doszip // This works fine. I can work on the fs without problems.
(RH 5.2)$ umount /doszip // This also works fine. No problems.
Back on RH 6.1, kernel log acknowledges that RH 5.2 mounted and unmounted without any
incidents. In /var/lib/nfs, rmtab contains an entry noting that RH 5.2 has mounted
/mnt/zip while it is mounted, and when the unmount request is received, this entry is
removed (and, since no other nfs mounts are current, rmtab now has 0 size).
However, when I try to umount /mnt/zip, I get the dreaded error message:
umount: /mnt/zip: device is busy
I have run both fuser and lsof, and neither one can detect any processes having any
open
files, etc., on /mnt/zip. Because I want to be able to change zip disks without having
to reboot, this is a pretty annoying error, so I would appreciate any help anyone is
able to give me. Thanks.

Hi ,
I have a Dell PC with both linux and Windows '98 on different partitions
of the hard disk. I wanted to unistall linux completely and format the
linux partition back to FAT file system .I did the following:
1)Removed LILO by
booting into MSDOS and FDISK /MBR
2)Then deleted the Linux partitions with the help of linux install CD.
Now the hard disk is like this :
one partition with(FAT) windows'98(primary partition)
second partition with out any file system.
Now the pc boots straight windows'98 ,but what i'd like to know is
how to stretch the FAT partition to encapsulate the whole hard disk with
out losing data on my FAT partition ?
If i have to use dos fdisk,what option should i use? I just want to make
sure i don't destruct the data on FAT partition.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
TIA,

Do a pnpdump and see if one of thecards has reconfig'd it self (BIOS

Seconded - they're both very useful for different tasks:
IMHO,
vi - small, pretty much guaranteed to be on any unix box, quick, fast
to load, small memory footprint, but pretty arcane and not that
expandable;
emacs - big (as in HUGE both in disk and RAM footprint), slower to
load and use, infinitely expandable, great as a code editor for auto
indenting, syntax highlighting, etc., etc., etc.
