Just a small rant about the questionare for anyone out there creating a web based forms like this. You need to let the person know how you're going to ship whatever you're shipping.

Or at least I think it's there. Maybe not. This definitely isn't what you're trying to accomplish, but if you have DirectCD or something similar installed on the Windows system (which lets you access the writeable CD like a fixed disk), you could share it with write access, and dump files onto it and manipulate it like a hard disk via Samba. The CD could then be removed and used on any system that could understand that format, which I believe is anything with DirectCD, or a Linux box with UDF support (I could be wrong, but I thought that used packet writing). You wouldn't be able to close the disc from Linux or write an ISO file like you could with something you have direct access to, though, as previously mentioned. Brian J.

Or at least I think it's there. Maybe not. This definitely isn't what you're trying to accomplish, but if you have DirectCD or something similar installed on the Windows system (which lets you access the writeable CD like a fixed disk), you could share it with write access, and dump files onto it and manipulate it like a hard disk via Samba. The CD could then be removed and used on any system that could understand that format, which I believe is anything with DirectCD, or a Linux box with UDF support (I could be wrong, but I thought that used packet writing). You wouldn't be able to close the disc from Linux or write an ISO file like you could with something you have direct access to, though, as previously mentioned. Brian J.

Re: [Wlug] Dell Dimension 270GX... stuck on sound...

by gboyce＠badbelly.com

Tim, Do you have windows on this machine? I have a similiar sound card for my laptop, and I find that if I leave the drive muted under windows, then I cannot unmute it under linux at all. It looks unmuted, but no sounds are made. If you still have windows, boot to windows and make sure the device is unmuted. Then boot back into linux and give it a try again.
