Next Workshop.
Hi all, Firstly I was wondering when the next workshop meeting was as canterbury.lug.net.nz said it was undecided. Secondly I was wanting some help at the next workshop as I wish to convert an old CD-Net I obtained to Run some form of linux which mounts the eight Cd-Rom drives over NFS. I have reinstalled the motherboard and CPU from the original 286 it is now a 300mhz box 32mb of ram (It should be sufficient) and added a small hdd. I have tried installing an old version of Slackware with no avail. I think that is because I have no idea on kernal modules but the Original isa scsi controllers(2) have the adaptec AIC6360Q Chipset. I would also like to add another Scsi controller a Symbios logic Chipset *I think* which I havent tried to get going yet. This SCSI controller would be for 3 SCSI hdds. I was wondering if someone could help me get this going at one of the next workshops(If I can go). Im going to download Slackware 9.1 on monday. I would like to try slackware in a fileserver enviroment unless anyone else has any better suggestions. |Thanks Ben Devine

Ext3 Fs Broke
Hi, Last night I searched on the internet for a linux fs viewer for windows. I found a program called explore2fs. I installed this in my windows partition and tried it out I was quite impressed although, Today I was rather annonyed since I used this program last night my Ext3fs has broken! I did the normal fixers mounted the problem device in write mode then I ran fsck2fs (I think cant remember) as fsck is not on my system. After I manually went through and fixed it. I rebooted my system and I kernel panic on boot. I was planning to install gentoo anyway but now seems the right time. I have some VERY important files on ext3 fs has anyone had any success in the past where they have booted from say Knoppix and mounted the fs then copied it across? Does anyone know of any solutions to this problem? |Thanks Ben Devine

It is not designed to be a clone of mandrakebizcases nor will it be distro specific. Mandrakesoft is well aware that the site will be promoting all distros. It will be aimed solely at New Zealand case studies. We all read in publications such as Computer World that large companies like Air New Zealand are now using Linux. This is all very well but I do not think that a small business with 10 employees is likely to be convinced that Linux is the way to go because Air NZ have a server farm running it. They may be convinced if they read about similar sized business in NZ who using Linux and how it has helped them. At the same time I business of all sizes posting case studies including large ones such as Air NZ. What I really need from you to make this site successful is that if you use Linux in your business/organization to post a case study. I think the site will be useful because it will show how Linux is used in real life situations. If you are a linux consultant and/or provider you and your clients will be more than welcome to promote on the site. Please encourage your clients to post. The site is close to being finished and if I gain the support of the Linux community should be up shortly.

Re: FW: laptop schmaptop

What you want is an ftp server. If you have another linux machine on the network you could samba mount the files you want (from the windows box), and then offer the mounted dir over ftp or http. Incidentally this is how I installed RH on a laptop with a similar ethernet card (3com etherlink III) - I thought it'd be a pain to get the PCMCIA network card to play nice, but I stuck tomsrtbt in and to my surprise it autodetected it, all I had to do was give it an IP address. very nice (I don't know who it was who's mentioned tomsrtbt on this list before, but thanks, it rocks =) Then mount the local HD and wget the CD images I needed. Piece of cake =) So all you need is an http server, or an ftp server - if you don't have a linux box on the same network, you can probably find a free http server or ftp server for windows, but I wouldn't know anything about that...

It generally takes a lot of time and effort to put together course materials (exmaples, handouts etc.), even for a two-hour course (unless you've taught the course recently). Fair enough, but these courses are not like commercial courses where people are preparing for some sort of qualification. They are very informal and very focused on a single subject. Now, if it's free to attend, the quality of the presentation is not too important, but if it costs, then people will want quality for their money (more pressure on presenter). I am only looking to charge enough to cover the costs of running the place (rent, power internet). Any left over money goes towards hardware upgrades. Also, because of the vast range of familiarity with Linux, courses will have to specify expectations (Command line skills, for example). This can be done on the online forum. The same problem happens in the CLUG meetings. There is a range of experience and you can't please everyone at the meeting. Here, people can ask for a course aimed at their level of experience. Others who are interested can attend. Cheers, Carl.

Re: Colour ink printer experience with Linux?
This is an observation i have made. *Old Fable Voice ON, (old withered man)* Once in the house I live lived an epson stylus 440 this epson work like a gem until the heads clogged up one month after the warrarnty expired. Using the software provided on the Evil platform. Gave a temporary sigh of relief but then paper would start to jam randomly, the printer would not print the whole page and now this particular epson stylus 440 is lieing on the floor unresponsative.

DONT BUY AN EPSON PROBLEM PRONE!!! Clogged Nozzles,unresponsivness,motor failure!! Is this an observation of yours, or just something you're repeating that you've seen elsewhere? I have owned two Epson printers over the last six years, and they both still work perfectly (even after one was sitting doing nothing for two years). Many professional photographers use Epson printers. The gimp-print package works well with Epson printers since Epson do release some programming info, and they have donated printers to the team. Occasionally you hear of people with bad problems, but it's the exception rather than the rule. - Mark

Re: CLUG Meeting Wednesday 2nd October (Re: 2/10 meeting - t-shooting workshop
Hi all, I'm not sure but I might be bringing a laptop to the clug meetin ghaving problems installing pcmcia onto a laptop. You know that laptop at the installfest that was still installing at quarter past 5. P.S depends on if my mum is going to let me go... (DONT LAUGH :( ) Thanks, Ben [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi all, This is my first post to the list. I'm hoping to be able to make it along to this upcoming meeting so I thought I might chime in here. I've played around with Linux for a few years, though never seriously. Now I'm looking to blow away my win2k machine and replace it with Slackware. I've done this before and haven't had *too* many problems, but now I have a Saturn Cable internet connection so will need to get that up and running as well as some sort of firewall. I was wondering if this is the sort of thing I could get some help with if I somehow managed to get my perscom to the meeting? Cheers Tony Matt and members, The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 2nd October in the Sydenham hall. ( http://christchurch.lug.net.nz/ ) The idea is to have a problems workshop. I suggest that anyone with a machine that needs looking at, should email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we can make a list of expected machines, for this meeting. I think we could probably only have about eight machines in the hall. Participants bringing their linux boxes/ems will be required to bring all thier relavent PC stuff including monitors mouse and keyboard etc. A mains multi box and possible extension cord would also be advantages.

I've installed Mandrake alongside Win2k and Win98 and can't get into the Linux partition. Alternatively, is someone willing to come to my house and help me in exchange for free beer? This would be ideal as my monitor won't fit in my car (Hillman Imp). BTW - I'm a newbie here, both in Linux and in residency (since July). So far I love Chch but y'all talk funny and drive on the wrong side of the road (yeah, I'm a Yank). I see there is at least one more recovering American on the list... Thanks, Matt
