Re: lycoris
It is Remond Linux (but they haven't released one branded as Lycoris yet.) I used it for some time and might yet go back to it. It is a very well thought-out design. It is a simplified Linux in that alot of stuff someone experienced with Linux would expect to find just isn't there. IMHO, if they would just bundle OpenOffice (and kill off koffice) into it and update a few other packages like Mozilla and throw in a few more power-user items, it would be the best desktop Linux around. So I'm waiting to see the next release. If you have a spare partition, I'd encourage you to give it a try. It's about the easiest install you'll ever do. It installs easier than any version of Windows and shows how well desktop LInux *could* be done. Like someone said, it is what Caldera should have been (less a bit of the simplification).

Re: lycoris
I had the finished version hanging around for six months before I installed it on my Intel 810. The thing really impressed me. This is the desktop that Caldera should have built as it seems to be a logical extension of e2.4's virtues without the bugs. Kernel-wise it's built on the 2.4.14 kernel. Installation was a snap, and this was on a box that would not only not install 3.1 or LTP but sent me an error message that said these two Caldera distros couldn't be installed on the machine (intel mb with 810e chipset, 366mhz cpu, 512 meg memory). If anything the installation was a little too easy. Almost Windowese. It did fail to find my printer and modem, but both were on the menu list during install. Two feature that really impressed me were the bundled packages for taking photos and the cd burner. I have a fondness for iomega burners and haven't had too much luck with them on Linux. Was delighted to find after installation that the burner package installed and was set up to identify my burner and burn copies on the fly. The first thing I did was burn a copy of the Redmond (Lycoris) install cd. A couple of minor annoyances. The distro only comes with the Mozilla browser. If you download Netscape 6.2 Mozilla takes it over, but I can live with that and downloaded Opera as my backup browser. The other weird thing is that the distro comes bundled with the frontend of the Sane scanner program, but not the backend. All in all I think it's a damned good distro. As I said before it's the desktop Caldera should have made. Lee Ken Moffat wrote: Any opinions on Lycoris linux? Is this the Redmond linux release?

Re: linux kernel recompile
The .spec file is used with rpm to create the .rpm files we all know and love. Inside it contains information like package description, files included, dependencies, configure/make procedures, installation/removal procedures, etc Look at an existing one to see what I mean... Checkinstall creates these in the process of creating it's RPMs. I probably wouldn't take the Kernel spec as the first one to look at and learn from, tho. Normally RPM building takes place in /usr/src/OpenLinux (for Caldera). In that directory you'll find the following dirs: RPMS-location of the finished products SRPMS -not necessarily used, but where SRPMS are put when built SPECS -location of the aforementioned .spec files SOURCES -location of the tar.gz or .tgz files BUILD -temp area (tgz's are untarred and configure/make/make install is done) Once it looks the way you want it to look, you type something like the following command to create binary RPMs rpm -bb /usr/src/OpenLinux/SPECS/whateverpackage.spec In the case of the Linux Kernel, this will create a bunch of rpm's, including kernel-binary, kernel-include, and a lot of hardware-specific source files. .config files are the files created by the ./configure process (or, in the case of the Kernel, make xconfig or make menuconfig, etc...)

Re: OT How many Boxen?
I've got a few: 1. My wife's PIII-450 running Win Me (she loves it, and it keeps her occupied and happy, so what the hell). Purchased from Pionex by way of a QVC daily special value. 2. My laptop (occasionally), and old P-150 from WinBook, dual booting Win98 and RH. I use it rarely any more, it used to be a workhorse. 3. My server, many time made over, none of the original parts left, originally purchased as a 486-33 at a computer show, back when I was running ESIX, and was networking by UUCP. It's now a P-133, 64MB (yeah, I know, a lame server, but it does enough), SCSI drives, Jaz, CDROM and 2 NICS 4. My personal machine, purchased from Pionex by way of QVC, also a daily special value. PIII-550, 256MB, mixture of IDE and SCSI drives. 2xJaz, CD-R, 2 NICS. Dual boots to Win 98 mostly to read photos off my digital camera, and for special runs of an application that doesn't run well for me under Win4Lin. The other boot is RH7.1 with Win4Lin (for quicken). 5. Linksys router to protect the Windoze machines, and provides a 100MB switch for the local machines to share stuff. That uplinks to a 10MB hub and thence to a DSL modem. There is thus an inner 100MB network and an outer 10MB network, which is why the Linux boxen have 2 NICs. ++ kevin On Wed, May 29, 2002 at 07:53:21AM -0700, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In order of size, but size isn't everything :) 1.

Someone asked about Lycoris. This just came on from their announce list. Interesting tidbit on retail space and bundling. Michael Begin forwarded message: Date: Wed, 29 May 2002 11:20:32 -0700 From: jspisak [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [rl-announce] Lycoris Desktop/LX Continues Grow in Popularity, Receives Lycoris Desktop/LX Continues Grow in Popularity, Receives Favorable Reviews and Hits the Shelves at Fry's Electronics Redmond, WA - May 29th, 2002 -- In response to the needs of its customers, Lycoris has begun distribution in the retail space. Their flagship products, Desktop/LX Personal and Desktop/LX Deluxe, are now available at Fry's Electronics retailers. Desktop/LX has also enjoyed continued publicity with reviews in Forbes, The Washington Post and Personal Computer World among others. The next few months promise to be exciting, as Lycoris prepares to release Update 2 for its popular operating system and launch its ProductivityPak, a full office suite based on Open Office. Desktop/LX was given 4 stars by Barry Shalliday of Britain's Personal Computer World, and Stephen Manes, writing for Forbes magazine, gives Desktop/LX the edge over Red Hat, stating, quot;Desktop/LX made it simple to access Windows systems on my network; Red Hat never managed that feat.quot; With the continuing publicity, and more on the way, Lycoris is quickly establishing itself as a new player in the operating system software market. The increasing sales of Desktop/LX have prompted Lycoris to bring on more staff to accommodate demand for fulfillment. Desktop/LX sales have already outpaced the cumulative first quarter numbers in the first two months of the second quarter. We are thrilled with the wide acceptance of Desktop/LX and with the reviews we have recently received. As we prepare for the release of Update 2, our next version of Desktop/LX, as well as our Productivity Pak, we will continue to make Linux easier, more usable, and more accessible for regular people. We see the launch of our retail channel as the next step in that progression, states CTO and Founder, Joseph Cheek. As more end users make Desktop/LX their choice for desktop operating system, the Desktop/LX community grows in parallel. Lycoris has also had to increase the capacity and bandwidth for its Community Website, lycoris.org to accommodate for more Desktop/LX users. With an eye on the future, Lycoris sees retail distribution as a key to wider acceptance of Desktop/LX as the new choice of desktop operating system. To that end, Lycoris has secured the first retail outlet to carry Desktop/LX, Fry's Electronics. With six stores in Northern California and seven stores in Southern California, four stores in Texas, two stores in Arizona, and one store in Oregon, coupled with a dedicated technology market focus, Fry's is a perfect match for Lycoris as it starts its retail exposure. About Lycoris Lycoris, located in Redmond, Washington, was founded in 2000 with a vision of making Linux simple enough for anyone to use. Lycoris makes open source applications easy to use and integrates them into Desktop/LX, their Linux desktop. About Fry's Electronics Fry's Electronics, Inc. was founded in 1985 in Sunnyvale, California in a 20,000 square foot location by the three Fry brothers, John, Randy, and Dave, and Kathryn Kolder. Fry's is a closely held private company, and all of the founders are actively involved in the daily operation of the business. Fry's was founded as a Silicon Valley retail electronics store in order to provide a one-stop-shopping environment for the Hi-tech Professional. Fry's has been keeping Hi-Tech Professionals supplied with products representing the latest technological trends and advances in the personal computer marketplace for over 17 years.

Costs $60US/month and speeds often exceed 1Mbps. Cost was $650US to get it installed. (I had 128k ISDN for 4 years before that at $190US/month.) It does have several drawbacks: - It must gateway through a Win box via a USB connection. Dumb. But my W2k Pro box does an ok job so it isn't really a big problem. Hughes has announced a DW4020 gateway/router box that would do the job currently filled by the Win host box. I'll buy one if they ever ship and price is reasonable. That would put my Linux box on equal footing with Win. I could live with a sacrificial Windows box on the outside of the firewall. Barely. - Linux (several distros) really seems to hate the latency aspect. Kmail and Mozilla mail both frequently hang when trying to check mail. Even browsing (Konq, Opera, Moz) is frustrating. I need to learn how to turn the Linux IP stack to better cope with it. - Hughes has something called FAP. Fair Access Protocol. Except it should be called Punitive Punishment Protocol. What it does is throttle you if you use too much bandwidth in a given time. Like when doing a 650M download of an iso of the latest version of CalderaSuseTiva, I have to set GetRight to a speed limit of 10kB/s or Hughes will FAP me. And the link essentially dies when FAP kicks in. Even browsing stops working, for all intents. That's the part I'd have real difficulty with. Throttle the bandwidth is one thing, to limit it to a 10k connection to download as ISO image without incurring the wrath of God is too much. Or are there other ways that you know of such as scripting an ftp session to quit after an hour, wait 4, go for another hour with regatta, and on and on? - Hughes forces you through their proxy server. To accelerate performance. Yeah, right. But the accelerator frequently dies and browsing stops altogether. - A high latency link causes web pages to sometimes seem slow to load (scads of little tiny files means lots of round-robin requests). But that's mostly not a problem compared to the alternative. I can handle latency (a bit) since I do very little with a browser, 25% browsing, 50% console work. the rest reading mail Some good points: - The sucker is really, really fast on moderate download sizes (say, 50M). It will often do 150kB/sec. - Hughes tech support is pretty good as ISPs go. And the best part is that they are not Earthlink. - The thing works in all but the most inclement weather. It takes a heavy downpour to stop it. - It beats 24,000 bps dial-up 8 ways to Sunday - which is what I would have otherwise. - They're supposed to soon have a $10/month option for a static IP.

What kind of amp and high gain antennas are you using? Does antenna height matter as long as it is line-of-sight? I'm using a 500mW amp over 100' of LMR-400 w/ a 8dbi omni, pointing at it I'm using mostly 21 and 24dbi grids or 18dbi flat panels, but at the same distances I've used 3dbi extenders and gotten good signal (ranges up to about 3mi/5km). With two 24dbi grids using 500mW amps you can transmit and receive up to 30 mi (50km). Here in Panama, the law allows for up to 4Watts at the antenna. That would basically allow me to transmit between any two points over flat terrain using 100' towers. That's a long way. antenna height: OK, you're asking the right question. An omni, while it has a horizontal 360 degree fan, has a vertical fan of only about 22 degrees. So an antenna 1 mile away would theoretically have to be within 100 feet vertically of a perfectly horizontal omni. In practice, I have yet to have vertical differences give me any great problem. OTOH, my antennae are deliberately over-kill. And while you shouldn't be able (by the book) to see the signal from an omni nearly directly below it, you will. Reasons: there are small lobes with vertical components, you have a phenomenon called a ground plane, and you're just too bloody close not to see a signal. You'll have to look up the ground plane calculation, but it's based on the height of the antenna to the ground. The higher up, the larger the ground plane. Also remember, all this 25 degrees vertical, 45 degrees horizontal is designed so that you'll see a 5db signal within the cone. But even 3db could give you an acceptable signal (and that's well outside the cone). Your biggest problem will be line-of-sight (LOS). Even a tree branch with leaves on it will pose a problems (although the signal will pass right through clear glass). Caution: most countries don't permit amp'd omnis.

Re: lycoris
Start with the install GUI. Pure Caldera. If you didn't know that it was Redmond you'd swear you were installing e2.4 except it does a better job of auto detecting. Once installed the GUI bootup is Caldera except that it says Redmond where Caldera would normally be presented. Once installed it runs as smooth as silk although a little slow opening up the bundled Mozilla browser. Put the boot in the mbr for a dual boot and the boot selection screen is pure caldera.I installed it on a box that had e2.4 on it, but there were some annoying bugs like Netscape mail would drop out on an irregular basis when I hit Get Message. That doesn't happen with Redmond. It has a few things in the distro that are kind of neat. The cd burner runs straight out of the package with my iomega burner, so does the camera photo package. And unlike 3.1 getting the cdrom and floppy icons is not a hassle. All you have to do is drop and drag the icons out of the My Linux icon. Built on the 2.4.14 kernel the thing appears to be Super 2.4, but Caldera never went that way and they missed the boat. It is nice to know that after Caldera folds there will still be a Caldera like distro out there. Brett I. Holcomb wrote: What makes it the release Caldera should have done? That sounds interesting.

Re: lycoris
IIRC, it's based on 3.1 The Redmond linux betas were hot and heavy during the time that Caldera was running their 3.1 beta. I'm pretty sure Lycoris is based on eW3.1...

Yes it ios the Redmond, renamed, supposedly the releaseCaldera should have made. I have a copy here but not installed as yet. AFAIK it is built on eD2.4 and it is supposedly the release that 3.0 + should have been but was not.

Re: Gramofile problems - can't record anything
I'm beginning to think it's a glibc problem...I'm not sure why, just a gut feeling at this point. I've gotten several error references to /lib/libc.so.6 which is a symlink to libc-2.2.4.so I don't know. Perhaps I'll back out the updated glibc rpm, return to the stock glibc, and see what happens...
