It's the "from" that I want to add. Yes, I did go into setup, but I could do much with it. I got tired of floundering and burnt the CD the old fashioned way with mkisofs and cdrecord.

Did you take the time to go through the setup and give it drives to write ISO's to? More information is required.

xcdroast

by Bill Mills-Curran

I'm not much of a CD burner. I've used xcdroast to copy CD's, but I'm having problems getting it to use files from my hard drive. In fact, I can't even get it to look at my hard drive. What's the trick? Thanks, Bill

*&(^$%^# Adaptec controller...

by Andy Stewart

HI all, I have an Adaptec 29160N which for reasons unknown refused to boot my hard drive directly. I put in the DVD and that booted, which then booted the hard drive, and Linux came up. Today, I decided to fix this problem. I updated the BIOS on the 29160N, thinking that was the problem. On the computer in the cellar, it successfully booted a 4.7GB SCSI drive. Success(!), or so I thought. When I put the 29160N back into the "good" computer, it wouldn't boot from any hard drive. I suspected that the 18GB and 36 GB drives might be too new for the 29160N. To make a longer story short, if "enable booting from CD" *and* "enable booting from disk" are both simultaneously enabled, no disk booting occurs. By turning off "enable booting from CD", one can succeed in booting from a hard disk. Stupid, idiotic firmware programmer from Adaptec ought to be shot... Remember this so you don't waste 2 hrs on a rainy afternoon figuring this out. :-) Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

GNHLUG quarterly meeting to be held at USENIX Technical Conference

by Jon maddog Hall

Hi, I have been thinking about having the quarterly meeting of GNHLUG down in Boston at the USENIX Technical conference. This meeting would not only be open to all members of GNHLUG, but also members of BLU (the Boston Linux User's group, www.blu.org) and the Worcester Linux User's Group (www.wlug.org) I have contacted USENIX and they have a room for us on Thursday, July 1st from 7-9 P.M. EDT. Later that evening Ted Ts'o and I will be leading a more formal Linux BoF from 9-11. Both meetings will be at the Boston Marriott Copley Place. I am arranging a speaker now, but I did want you to at least hold that evening open for what should be an interesting quarterly meeting. md -- Jon "maddog" Hall Executive Director Linux(R) International email: maddog(a)li.org 80 Amherst St. Voice: +1.603.672.4557 Amherst, N.H. 03031-3032 U.S.A.

I think it was a Boston Linux Users Group meeting that talked about LTSP (my friend Dave Shevett was the presenter, and it's the only such meeting I've attended). I get "Nothing for you to see here. Please move along." at that link. --Dwight
