It definitely doesn't have any data on it. I tried multiple discs. Even if that were the case, shouldn't I have been able to burn it onto the DVD which was listed as having enough space? > Are you sure the disk is blank? Try mounting it, and try another disc to > burn on. > > Eric Martin

Are you sure the disk is blank? Try mounting it, and try another disc to burn on.

Re: [Wlug] SAMBA on Fedora 6??

by Eric Martin

Why Fedora 6 when they're on 15 or 16? Is there something keeping you for updating it? Like Randy mentioned, there are probably a bunch of security holes that are now patched but weren't before.

SAMBA on Fedora 6??

by Ken Jones

Due to a series of incidents too complex to detail here, I have just rebuilt a desktop PC with Fedora 6. All seems fine except it does not contain SAMBA - at least I can not find the SAMBA executable on the 5 disc .iso CD set. It has been at least five years. I do not remember it being difficult back then..... I have gone to various places on the WEB that claim to have appropriate SAMBA versions only to discover they have been taken down. I tried the SAMBA in my FEDORA Linux 3 Bible DVD. (Many dependencies missing....) I tried the SAMBA in my SAMBA Black Book CD. I got no where. It's been soooo long. I like Fedora.

Fedora 15 and Burning CD

by dulsi＠identicalsoftware.com

I want to burn a copy of fedora 15 32-bit on a CD but my installed fedora 15 64-bit isn't letting me. When I put in a blank CD it tells me it has 137.8 MB free and won't let me select that as a burn destination. It shouldn't be 137.8 MB free as a blank CD has more space. To get it working I decided to try burning to a DVD. Space seems correct there but again it doesn't allow burning.

Try posting there[1]; I'm sure they will be more than happy to add another educator to their ranks. Cheers, Jeff [1] https://code.ros.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-users

Robotics and linux

by Ken Jones

Thank you, Kevin, As you can see from my video I have built a state-machine-only robot out of a radio controlled model level car and an Arduino Nano programmed in ArduinoC_0021. The idea has been to interest middle school teachers and students in 'How things work' in 2011. Education must be relevant. My cars can race each other around a room. Speed, competition and the 'real world' makes relevance. Modify the code and win the race. My project has been going on for over a year. Recently it has been struggling. After watching a video of the 2012 Lexus parallel parking itself and realizing that it is doing some mapping, I thought I would investigate 'real' robotic code. ROS was suggested, but it does not seem the right fit. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Ken Jones
