Re: [SLUG] How do I mount an audio Cd ?
On Sun Mar 13, 2005 at 16:01:49 +1100, Rod Butcher wrote: While I appreciate there is some technical issue involved here, as a PC user I expect a tool (like e.g. ls, nautilus or whatever) that professes to give me a list of files on a storage medium, to do this for all storage media - and to me an audio cd is just that, with one or more files or tracks or whatever on it. In this case I presume it would be trivial to incorporate whatever voodoo cdparanoia uses and make ls display the fact that there is an audio file called xyz on the cd I just loaded. Any mount command would presumably be doing something quite different than what is done for e.g. vfat, but to the user it's all the same. What I'm getting at is, it's what it means to the user that matters, not what's going on behind the scenes. MS grasped this brilliantly. I don't disagree. I was talking from a philosphical point of view -- which is what was asked for by Trent in the email to which I was replying. Now I really don't know much about the details of the track format of audio cds, however I *do* know that cdparanoia goes through a lot of black magic to copy an audio track error free. Thankfully it looks like 2.6.12 might have user-level filesystems, which should make it much easier to implement something such as you describe.

It even has a the correct names the names of the tracks. Neat! I can use the same tools I use to manipulate my other files, cool! This *is* good usability.

At present the above link goes to the top of that file (the contents

the file but they are lower case such as: a name=agrawal/a
The script below will take extract the authors name from after the

a href=111_12.html#AgrawalAgrawal, B.M

this:
a name=agrawal/a
thus my links don't work.

Ouch. Do you have to use sed?
If you have perl installed, you could replace
sed '...'
with
perl -ne '...'
and you could probably solve the problem with something like:
cat titles.html | perl -ne 'm/\.html([^,]{1,}),/; $name=lc($1); $_
=~ s/\.html/\.html#$name/; print $_;'
That may be clumsy by perl standards, but I think it works at least if
you have one instance per line in the html file.

[SLUG] Crystal/Cirrus cs89x0 ethernet adapter
Hi, I have just been installing Debian on an IBM 300GL PC with an embedded Crystal/Cirrus cs89x0 ethernet adapter (which is a supported adapter). It all works well, _except_ that the install process doesn't recognise the adapter (and I haven't been able to do it manually with insmod - I get 'Device or resource busy' and I've checked that the io and irq resources are free). From what I've been able to discover searching around, the problem is likely to be that the adapter comes pre-configured with 'Plug and Play' enabled and that prevents the driver talking to the adapter. But, to change the setting you apparently need a DOS setup utility that I haven't been able to find. Both Cirrus and IBM provide links to the driver (broken in IBM's case) but not the utility and neither have responded to email requests. I know this problem has come up previously on this list and one of the participants had found the utility, so I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction (or even supply a copy of the DOS utility)? Failing that I will try slotting in another adapter. Any other suggestions would be appreciated as well.

My only gripe is that prior to this, in mozilla 1.6... you could right click on a link in the e-mail browser and open the page in a new tab, where as thunderbird doesn't appear to support this, it opens it in the active tab replacing the page of interest you might have open (I guess it's trying to be browser neutral).

Suggested a perl script:
cat titles.html | perl -ne 'm/\.html([^,]{1,}),/; $name=lc($1); $_ =~
s/\.html/\.html#$name/; print $_;'
Yep that worked too. I tend to use perl for web stuff and don't do
enough one liners like the above. It's neat.

Suggested to grab the letter, then transliterate (what a wonderful word)
it using y/[A-Z]/[a-z]/, then append it to the end of this thing called
hold space with a H and then swap the contents of the hold apace and the
pattern space using the x (exchange operator).
Well I have certainly learn something there :-)
Oh it worked fine too.
Caveats: In the html authors file there were some hyphenated names like
Aldrich-Wright and some names with blanks like De Deckker. Each of the
above methods, coupled with my the regex I use results in a few things
to fix manually, but its only about 6 to do.
In the titles file there was one author per table row and
cat titles | grep 'tr' | wc -l
showed there were 541 rows.
You have saved me hours of work and I have some sed and perl snippets to
save away in my HTML help file I :-)
Thanks all.
