[SLUG] svg to png rendering
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Does anybody know of a reliable svg=png renderer?

I tried xarasvgfilterui, again no luck Yet the svg in question looks fine in inkscape and GIMP. So there can't be to much wrong with the file itself.

Ashley, you should probably explain (or better yet post some examples to a web site) what you mean by no detail/ I strongly suspect that the problems you are having are a result of lines in the SVG file not aligning (ie end point and/or line width) with the grid of the pixels you are rendering to. I have had similar problems in the past and fixed the problem by editing the SVG to make all lines a multiple of 1 pixel wide and being properly alligned to the underlying grid.

Re: [SLUG] Has anyone any insight as to why RedHat Enterprise Level 5 is broken as far as PXE booting is concerned.
check your xinetd settings in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp, you may have paths setup differently etc also have you tried connecting directly to the tftp server and getting these files? eg, $ tftp localhost tftp verbose tftp get pxelinux.cfg/default etc...

Level 5 is broken as far asPXE bootingis concerned.
Quoting RgSalisbury [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
OK good NEWS
It seems that the dhcpd-3.0.5-5.el5.rpm and dhcpd-3.0.3-5.el5.rpm
versions need a next-server option (even if tftp dhcp are on the same
box ) ought to be grouped with the client directives.
As below:
This minimal dhcpd.conf file **WORKS**
###
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
subnet 172.16.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 172.16.0.254;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
filename /tftpboot/pxelinux.0;
allow booting;
allow bootp;
range dynamic-bootp 172.16.0.128 172.16.0.254;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;

host abcd {hardware ethernet 00:01:6c:ca:24:7b ;fixed-address

}
}
###
ISC changed dhcpd's default for missing next-server statements
from version 3.0.2 to version 3.0.3.

Yeah, what Simon meant was that these are hardware-specific things that are set during install/use, which make an Ubuntu install harder to 'port' to different hardware... one of the things that has traditionally been a great strength of Debian (in particular, but also some other distros).
