Stupid question, sorry.

1998-01-30 Thread Albert Fluegel
Hello !

I know, to you this question seems stupid. I'm not so
very up-to-date concerning the debian distribution.

What means: hamm ??? (and: bo ???) and related ...

Thanks a lot

Albert

I guess, you are not an American and thus not accustomed to their strange
way to specify dates. The 17th of June is: 06/17/1997.

Please check this out,

Linux-Video-Questions ...

1998-01-02 Thread Albert Fluegel
Hello !

I need some info about the possibility to read input from
a video camera. I know, there is support for a special
camera in the SANE-area, but it seems not to be a camera
using a standard frame-grabber, but this is what i will
have to use. So the questions are:

How can i get a picture from a video camera into a program
running on Linux, ideally into the gimp ?

Thanks for any hint !

Regards,

  Albert

Remote installation of Debian-Packages ...

1997-10-09 Thread Albert Fluegel
Hello !

What i am missing in all Linux-distributions (please
correct me, if i'm wrong), is the possibility to 
install (or de-install or whatever needs to be done)
packages on another machine remotely and/or scheduled.
I experienced, that it is a big thumb-up for decision-
makers if a system is supporting this functionality.

I'm aware off course, that there is a certain
security problem, especially if the sources of the
related software is publically available. One can
not base on the security of keys generated at runtime
from compiled-in constants or whatever ... like some
well-known expensive system-management-tools do.
It just would be nice to have a tool, where one can
type in (or read in from a file) a list of machines,
where sth. should be installed at a certain time
(in the night usually). The rexec-tool would make
these things not too difficult, but it would require
the superuser-passwords to be stored in some secure
place, what is somewhat problematic. I have no real
solution for this at hand, just wanted to point out,
that for a large-scale introduction of Linux in the
industry this functionality might become an important
feature ... just my opinion.
