CD burning question...
by Bill Mills-Curran May 1, 2003

If I burn a CD from an ISO, should I be able to duplicate the MD5SUM: md5sum file.iso md5sum /dev/scd0 Right? (I think I'm getting some errors while burning.) Thanks, Bill

Cool little set of scripts. They even come with that funky Desktop icon. What a luxury! Working through the scripts though it seems that the USB system does not see the USB device properly. Looking through some posts it looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel. Kernel 2.4.21 will have the updated usbnet patch that will allow communication with the 5600. I expect I'll be able to make some minor mods to the zaurus_check script and it should work like a charm. Thanks!

Does anyone have experience with the Zaurus 5600 and linux?

>From the looks of it, 5600 connectivity through usbnet is still pretty bleeding edge. Has anyone out there gotten the Zaurus SL-5600 connected with a linux desktop? Sharp was not kind in getting compatibility with linux. Anyhow, if anyone has any pointers let me know. Thanks Arturo -- Arturo <postgres(a)sedo.net>

OOPS, hit ctrl-enter by mistake.

I'm going to look into migrating to Zope. This site lists a bunch of CMS's, see the listings under Open Source: http://www.cmswatch.com/ContentManagement/Products/ I like what I saw so far on Zope, and there have been recent articles about it in Linux Journal (or Magazine...).

Toshiba e330 + Linux
by Chuck Haines April 28, 2003

April 28, 2003

I've had a Toshiba e330 for about 3 months now, however it runs windows and I can't interface it with my linux machine. I was curious if anyone had any information regarding putting linux on one of these babies. I plan to get a wireless card and GPS adaptor for it soon, so how would that affect it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Anyone know off-hand what version(s) of MySQL is available with the RH9 installation? I checked out the RH website, but i didn't get any useful information. I'm looking to see if the latest MySQL release (4.x) is included...

freeswan
by Wes Allen April 24, 2003

April 24, 2003

Is anyone out there using freeswan? I'm thinking of repeating my wireless network over to my office after my move and I'm thinking of setting up freeswan to encrypt the traffic more tightly on the network when I do. The howto's I've found have been on setting up a vpn between networks, is it possible to set up freeswan to encrypt traffic on a single lan (until sdmca laws make it technically illegal to do so.....).

by Andy Stewart April 21, 2003

April 21, 2003

HI Everybody, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, which will be held on Wednesday, April 16, 2003 at 7:00 PM in Kinnicutt Hall on the WPI campus. At this meeting, WLUG member Tim Keller will discuss how he used open source software to build a Digital Video Recorder (similar in function to the commercially available TiVO device). After the meeting, there will be a free (as in beer) raffle, and a trip to the Boynton Restaurant for pizza and beer. I look forward to seeing you there!
