OT: Einstein Writer under QEMU
I'm trying to help someone run Einstein Writer under QEMU. I set up a virtual machine and installed FreeDos on it. I found a demo of Einstein which is supposed to be a running version of it. When I start it up, I get a few English words and a lot of junk on the screen. I assume I am missing installing Hebrew support in the virtual video card. I did a web search and found a wikipedia entry for codepage 862. I tried to load it with the FreeDos command display con=(ega,862,1). It loads, but I still get garbage. Any ideas? Alternatively is there a way to convert EinsteinWriter files to something useable without Einstein itself? Thanks, Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Printer name get changed when installing a driver from Smaba server
I have installed the latest version of Samba (3.5.8) to work as a print server. When installing a new printer from Windows/7 , and supplying the driver name from Samba server, the printer name gets changed to driver name. The only fix to this , is to go the share tab of windows , copy the share name and paste it to the printer name. Although it works I would not like to have this as a standard policy. Does any one run into this issue and have a better work around? Israel ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
