Re: recommendation for digital camera -= Shameless Nikon plug
(P.S.: If anyone knows anything about Linux support for Nikon, please point me at it; I'll probably need it eventually...) I am using Nikon 4300 with linux and I am able to access it as mass storage without any problem. I just have to mount the camera as usb mass storage and copy the image files to my hdd. If any body is interested in having more info, kindly let me know. Doesn't this model and many others by Nikon suffer from low light focusing problems? They lack a low-light focusing lamp, Canan doesn't. That is a problem which is very annoying in low light. JSS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Problem in cycling widows with alt+TAB
I am using Debian/unstable with kernel 2.4.26.

Re: how to upgrade a debian system not connected to network
But if for whatever reason it must remain unconnected, then you'll want to get the .deb packages downloaded on PC-A for transfer to PC-B. apt-get has a -d option: apt-get -d install [package] which downloads a .deb to /var/cache/apt/archives/[package][version].deb So to upgrade everything on PC-B: 1. Get a list of packages (to upgrade) on B, to A. How to get the list of packages to be upgraded on B. Can /var/lib/apt/lists/* of PC-B be of any help? 2. apt-get clean on A to clear current package cache. 3. Feed the list into apt-get -d install [...]. 4. Burn .deb packages from apt cache onto CDs. 5. Don't forget the repository list files. Any help on this wil be appriciated. At that point I'll leave it. Really at 4 there you should figure out how to create an apt repository cdrom (similar to the Debian installation CDs). But I've never done that.

how to upgrade a debian system not connected to network
I have a two debian/unstable systems (let us name them PC-A and PC-B). Both have got different packages installed. PC-A is connected to internet with 2 MBps link and so there is no problem in upgrading it regularly. PC-B is not connected to internet. So I whenever I need to upgrade the system I download the 5 CD's of sid form ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/sid/ , burn then in RW-CDs and then upgrade the system. I want to know is there any method by which I can download the packages requiring upgrade for the PC-B in PC-A (remember PC-A and PC-B have different list of installed packages!)? If I can do that, I can copy the .deb files to /var/cache/apt/archives of PC-B via a portable usb-dsik and execute apt-get upgrade. Any help will be appriciated.

Others may give a better answer. One easy way that comes to my mind is internet sharing. For example, you can buy a router and connet PC-A PC-B to the router. The router connects to the outside world through the 2mbps link. The LAN enables to share the files between the computers very easy. I forgot to mention that there is no possibility of ethernet connection between PC-A and PC-B as they are in different locations. Waiting for other answers.

how to keep 2.4 and 2.6 kernels simultaneously
I am using Debian/unstable and recently instlaled kernel 2.6.6. Now on my system I have three kernels, viz., 2.4.20-bf2.4, 2.4.26-1-686 and 2.6.6-1-686. The problem is that 2.4 and 2.6 kernels have different set of modules to load, for example for usb 2.4 uses the module usb-uhci.o but 2.6 uses uhci-hcd.ko. But the /etc/modules file not versioned! So is there any method by which the system can load appropriate modules when booting with kernel 2.4 or 2.6? The problem is that there is only ONE /etc/modules for all kernels!!

how to get Clock cursor in place of Hourglass cursor when system is busy in Debian/unstable
I recently updated the system (Debian/unstable) from debian servers. When the system is busy the cursor changes to the standard hourglass. I also installed Debian/unstable from the same server on a new system from scratch. In that system the system busy indication is with a new Clock cursor. I would like to know how to get the same in my older system. I think it must be some configuration file that was not updated while upgrade. Can some body have any idea?

cdrom does not un-mounts
I am using Debian/sid. Some times when I mount a cdrom and try to unmount it immediately, it gives the following error on the terminal: umount: /cdrom: device is busy umount: /cdrom: device is busy But the fact is the cdrom is not being used by any of my terminals or programs (as I have not used the terminal or any program to browse or use the cdrom). The only way I have found to umount the cdrom in this case is to logout (or kill the xserver with ctrl-alt-backspace) and login are root or same user and unmount. Then the cdrom unmounts with out any problem. Can anybody shed some light on it. Thanks JSS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug in transfig 3.2.3.d-rel-3
Hello,
I have just now noticed that a bug on the version of transfig
3.2.3.d-rel-3. When I use xfig to export a combined PS/LaTex figures
using the default LaTeX font,
the style becomes {rm} (Roman) instead of the usual
{\familydefault}{\mddefault}{\updefault}
e.g.
the input inside a pstex_t line reads
\put(100,-7000){\rotatebox{90.0}{\makebox(0,0)[lb]{\smash{\SetFigFont{12}{14.4}{rm}{\color[rgb]{0,0,0}linewidth
(Gtext)}%
instead of
\put(100,-7000){\rotatebox{90.0}{\makebox(0,0)[lb]{\smash{\SetFigFont{12}{14.4}{\familydefault}{\mddefault}{\updefault}{\color[rgb]{0,0,0}linewidth
(Gtext)}%
Is there a patch for this, or some higher version in which this bug is
removed?
Thanks
J S Sahambi

Can we create saparate mailboxes in Evolution like in mozilla ?
I am using mozilla mail and I have created three saparate POP3 accounts and each has its own Inbox where the mails are placed. In other words it has a saparate folder tree for each account. I tried to use Evolution and found that if I create more then one POP3 account in it, it makes only one Inbox folder and all the mails from all three POP servers are placed in the same folder (Inbox). Is it possible to have saparate Inbox folder for each account in Evolution? Thanks J S Sahambi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

compiling Installing different versions of kernel
I am using 2.4.19 kernel and now I want to appy the a patch to certain file, compile it, and install it as diffeeret version, say 2.4.19-patched (so that it has differenet modules directory and should not mess up with my working /lib/modules/2.4.19). So how can I proceed to compile, install the patched version and still have the 2.4.19 if someting goes wrong. I think make-kpkg can also be used. If yes, how?
