compile problem
After further considering, I've come to the conclusion that the USB camera problem I'm having is really a compile problem, so I'm writing again with what I think is only the **relevant** info.

D/L the 2.4.19 kernel and unpack it to /usr/src then change the 'linux' symlink to it, instead of 2.4.8 Then unpack the driver source again (so it would be clean install) and run /configure then make.

Re: loghost
syslog-ng might be the best tool. it happens that now i study the subject, and my results so far tells this: syslog-ng is very flexible and probably the only one which can split the logs from all servers to different files/directories/dates...etc. if you have solaris stations, you might consider replacing their native log-server with syslog-ng, for the following reasons: 1- when solaris native-syslog sends log to a remote server which contains more than one line, only the first line get marked with the host name. now, if the second line will start with See... syslog-ng will believe this is the hostname, and create a special file/directory for it. 2- syslog-ng is developed and ported very good for solaris, and it supports SUN-streams.

Re: compile problem
Thanks for your answer. I can only assume you're right about the conflict between source and kernel versions, but the truth is that I don't understand why. As I wrote in my previous post, I run kernel version 2.4.8-34.1mdk and have the same source version. So where's the problem? I do intend to upgrade from Mandrake 8.1 to 9.0 soon, so I'll have a new kernel, but it seems like **overkill** to compile a Kernel just so I can compile a module.

Re: dvd player*s* show twice same half screen
OK, after having decided that RH8.0's xv extensions are the probable source of trouble, I moved my /usr/local partition's content to /usr/local on the /usr partition, and installed a barebones RH7.3 on the freed partition (1GB). Xine now plays the dvds beautifully. Of course, dual booting is not the world's best way of playing dvds (I could even have used windows' player, if dual booting was an ok performance -- forget it, I have dvds from outside my region), so I'd like to confirm the source of trouble and either fix it or file a bug report. What package is responsible for the xv extensions? How do I confirm that the xv extensions are the culprit? What other candidates are out there (libdvdcss, libdvdread,... Remember, the RH8.0 packages are linked against gcc3.2, and could have been wrongly reengineered, even as the gcc2.95 packeges are great)? Anybody else had a similar problem on RH8.0 (basically bad display of images, showing only half the image, merged with another copy of same half image to produce a whole image mess together, in windows using xv extensions)?

Reducing the number of CDs required for an installation party?
Just an idea how to somewhat reduce the number of CDs required for an installation party: Essential requirement: the installed PC should have a network card. Having a network card might be more common then it used to be with the spreading of fast Internet connectivity and having some boards with on board Ethernet interfaces. I guess you already figured out the rest: 1. In addition to preparing a suitable partition the owners of the PC to be installed will create the boot floppy set from a site that will be pointed out to them. They will run these floppies according to instructions that will be given to them. Besides get them to be able to run part of the installation by themselves this can reveal in advance hardware that is likely to be problematic. 2. The organizers of the installation party will deploy a LAN. Hopefully this reduces mainly to a HUB and some long network cables. 3. Installation will be through the LAN. Beside the question of whether it is not better to produce more CDs then to go through this procedure I wonder if this procedure will not make the installation longer. Yet I do believe that currently it will be best if every new installee will be given a CD set. -- Shaul Karl, [EMAIL PROTECTED] e t = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In the party we had in Renanim many more people wanted a CD set for themselves than actually wanted us to install it. We didn't have any pre-burned CDs and only one functional burner, so only few actually got it. Maybe in the future we should sell CD sets (maybe ask someone who already does it, like guides.co.il like someone already offered), because giving away large quantities will be hard (actual burning time).

RE: ps notes
of course i can edit it manually, but its pretty tedious and you can never know what will happen. anyway, i am not really looking for a way to edit a postscript file, but rather to add notes to it. Maybe there is some kind of plugin to GSview that allows you to add a note to each page, and saves the notes on a different file. e.g: myfile.ps myfiles.notes and afterwards, you can print the file with the notes at the header or footer. * - * - * Tzahi Fadida [EMAIL PROTECTED] Technion Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My Cool Site: HTTP://WWW.My2Nis.Com * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * WARNING TO SPAMMERS: see at http://members.lycos.co.uk/my2nis/spamwarning.html -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:linux-il-bounce;cs.huji.ac.il]On Behalf Of Gilad Ben-Yossef Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 11:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ps notes Tzahi, On Fri, 2002-11-08 at 23:13, Tzahi Fadida wrote: Is there a way to add notes a .ps? eg: adding a text underneath a line so i can later print it with the .ps Well, I don't know if Postscript is actually Turing complete but since you can program a web server in Postscript (http://www.pugo.org:8080/ for the details) then I guess the answer is: of course ;-) Seriously now, Postscript is a descriptive language to program a graphics device to generate output, you can do anything you want in it Your question is like asking: can I add notes to a text file? sure you can - just open it a text editor and add the notes.

Tzahi Fadida wrote: Is there a way to add notes a .ps? eg: adding a text underneath a line so i can later print it with the .ps It's certainly possible, if you know PostScript (it's a Turing-complete procedural stack-based language; not very complex, but not a pretty sight either). In practice there are some conventions which nearly all PostScript document follows, and it so happens that these conventions make it very easy to add stuff *beneath* whatever's on the page (technically: just add your own drawing commands after the %%Page DSC comments). Adding stuff *above* the existing content is a bit harder (technically: override the 'showpage' operator with your own version and hope it isn't already overriden in some incompatible way). Another approach is to write a GhostScript output driver. Start with the 'pswrite' driver which produces a normalized PostScript file by interpreting the input file and producing a new one. Then add appropriate code in the driver to draw extra stuff in each page, according to some auxiliary input file. A third approach would be to modify the viewer application to draw the extra stuff, but then you can't print the annotated version or send it to other people. I couldn't find any existing free software for this. There are several commercial applications for annotating PDF files, including Adobe's own Acrobat; google for annotate PDF. Using pdf2ps and ps2pdf in conjuction with these should do the trick.
