Unix Donation Box

2003-02-03 Thread Jason Greenwood




Hi All,

I have a box that a chap I know would be willing to donate to the CLUG or
another worthy organisation if anyone wants it. He would prefer to swap it
for a couple 20GB drives but it's not necessary as the machine is taking
up space in his garage. I paste the details below. Please let me know if
anyone is interested and I will put you in touch with him.

Cheers

Jason

Hi,  Jason,
Here are
the specs  for the box .


Data General
Aviion8500 Unix system. 4  Processors,
Dual tape drives, floppy and CD rom drives. Complete with console  and keyboard.
This unit
attaches  to a Clariion C2000-D Storage Array with 20 Slots for disk drives.
The Array has  3 x4Gb drives, 11 x 1 Gb drives and 5 x 2Gb drives.
Some spare drives as well.

I can be contacted by e-mail or mobile  phone.

Thanks,

Re: Strange Screen Settings in Slackware 8.0

2003-02-03 Thread Gareth Williams
A thought I had, for X ... if you think your laptop (this is on a laptop, 
right?) screen is capable of 1024x768 (hey, your graphics card seems to be :) 
you might wanna read up on your machine (try that laptops site someone 
mentinoed) and check in your XF86Config file that your Horizontal Sync 
(HSync) is right. IIRC I had a similar problem once on a dell laptop with the 
difference between 800x600 and 640x480 - default DeadBat install messing 
around with the HSync it came right. 

Just thought I'd chip in with my 2c (or whatever it is these days :)

 The config said you can pass args to lilo to change the resolution so I
 passed the 800x600 one it worked perfectly.
 thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

 800x600 screen. What is happening is that after boot when I login where
 I am tying is actually below the screen so I can't read it unless I hold
 down enter till it comes up. This behaviour is occuring in X also, I am
 only seeing the top of the screen. The machine is a toshiba satellite
 pro 470CDT 133Mhz 32Megs RAM.
 
 try pressing ctrl-alt-F1, logging into a text console, and editing the
 file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (using emacs should be fine-it has a no X
 mode), and removing the 1024x1??? line to 800x600. Then it should be all
 good :)

How many people are interested in playing with something like this? I'd guess 
there are quite a few (I know I am). A machine like this would be a good 
asset for CLUG to have... (argh, I said the dreaded 'a word' - that's right, 
we don't want assets do we, or things'll get most complicated ;)  - maybe a 
good place for it would be the OSTC? Just a suggestion. What do you all

I've got a book with 300 pages in PDF.
The contents pages refer to page numbers,
but the book itself has no page numbers
on any of the pages.

Is there anyway I can add page numbers onto
each page in the PDF or convert to PS and
add the numbers to the PS?


http://www.slac.stanford.edu/pubs/snowmass96/FRNTNBAK/PUBLISH.PDF

Perl script top lhs second page.

Google is wonderful!


Thanks. I had done some googling but didn't find anything.

The script needs a bit of tweaking, and the pdf
file must be translated with pdftops, not pdf2ps.

Other than that, It works great.

Thanks,
Carl.

Re: IPCop or Modem Problem?

2003-02-03 Thread Adrian Stacey
Suggesting the obvious first, is the modem set to stay connected or DOD, 
the way you're using it requires the former.

Horror to suggest but a simple winders box may be the best option to 
troubleshoot the connection...

I tend to think the firewall shouldn't cause the problem.
