Well, there are a bunch of other places to look if you want to play with smaller embedded-style systems. This is a great board (from what I've heard): http://www.denx.de/embedded-ppc-en.html And man are they bad-ass looking...PPCBoot (http://ppcboot.sf.net/) runs on these boards, and Linux runs on them already, so perhaps it's not the best board for a porting experience... If you want some real fun, get some cicso router that has a powerpc -- I'm not sure of anyone who's got that working quite yet. Honestly though, porting to a new board without a hardware debugger (like the BDI2000: http://www.abatron.ch/BDI/bdihw.html) will be a lot more work. Unfortunately this will push the cost of the setup over the hobbyist level. The BDI2000 is especially nice since it has support for walking the Linux software page tables, and with the bdiGDB firmware allows remote hardware debugger with GDB from a linux client -- very nice! > Where is PPC guru huberj? hah! -- Josh Huber

my dhcp preference (offtopic from Re: dchp timeout)

My personal favorite is dhcpcd, since it is the most straightforward to compile. Building it against uClibc statically gets it down into the 33k range!

i've been running linux on my PowerMac 7500 for years. As for embedded PPC or development PPC boards there are several to COTS (consumer of the shelf) to choose from.

openoffice spellcheck

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has used openoffice and had problems with it's spellcheck. It's gotten a bit better, but still doesn't recognize contractions. I've been trying to find info on their site, but man is that project a beast! You can't find anything and their "issuezilla" is a pain in the rear for quick searches. This is one area where Kword really seems to "work" better, even if I have to add a bunch of words to the dictionary...Any reflections/work-arounds? I'm always trying to get people to not shell-out the $$$ for MS Office, and OpenOffice/StarOffice is a really great alternative at this point. I can't wait for Koffice to get there as well (I just wish I could contribute). Wes

Re: [Wlug] printer server on router(solution)

by Baris Hasdemir

I used this lpd://192.168.254.254/LPT1 the only trick is to find out the queue name which is not mentioned in the user's manual of speedstream. Siemens says their router IS compatible with unix however they do not support it. So I had to guess for it. Going after doug's example I tried couple of queue names like L1, queue, lp0, etc... could not succeed. I thought of examining the port driver software for dos. In the properties window of the port driver I saw that it is somehow using lpt1 port. then I realized that lpt1 should be the name of the printer port on the router. So tried to use LPT1 as the name of the queue. and it worked. thanks to all help! baris On Fri, 15 Mar 2002 15:04:05 -0500 Baris Hasdemir <tekir99(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > hi all, > > I am trying to configure cups 1.1.14 on slackware 8 to print on a > printer connected to the router(siemens speedstream 2614). > Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to print even a garbage. > > what should I use? ipp:// or socket:// or lpd:// or what? and how? > > device options on cups: > -------------------------- > AppSocket/HP JetDirect > Internet Printing Protocol(http) > Internet Printing Protocol(ipp) > LPD/LPR Host or Printer > Parallel Port > Serial Port#1 to #32 > > device url options ise sunlar: > ---------------------------------- > Examples: > > file:/path/to/filename.prn > http://hostname:631/ipp/ > http://hostname:631/ipp/port1 > ipp://hostname/ipp/ > ipp://hostname/ipp/port1 > lpd://hostname/queue > socket://hostname > socket://hostname:9100 > > a port scan on the router produces > Port State Service > 80/tcp open http > 88/tcp open kerberos-sec > 515/tcp open printer > > any help perfectly welcome > > thanks, > baris

I have a laserjet IIP connected to the first port/queue "L1" of a standalone Linksys printserver (Model EPSX3). In my /etc/hosts file I have a line 192.168.7.55 printserver.localdomain printserver In my /etc/cups/printers.conf file I have </Printer> <DefaultPrinter lp> Info lj2p Location DeviceURI lpd://printserver/L1 State Idle Accepting Yes JobSheets </Printer> In that fifth line, printserver refers to that dotted quad defined in /etc/hosts. The lpd: would appear to me to tell you what cups likes to see. I suspect you should then be able to replace the //printserver by the equivalent for your router. (That L1 is just how that linksys box distinguishes the first printer queue from the other two.) doug

Re: [Wlug] printer server on router

by Wesley Allen

Well, that's a good question. It's a router with a printer port, or a networked printer "naturally"). Either way, cups should be able to see any printer on the the network. I'm thinking that printing directly to a network socket would work, at least tha't what I did with networked printers where I used to work. My sugguestion is this, and I know is a total cop-out, get KUPS and do a network scan to look for printers. If it's on the network. Cups should be seeing it.

It appears that your version of mozilla is using a different plugin directory, so perhaps that is why $HOME/.mozilla/plugins didn't work. What version of mozilla are you using?

Re: [Wlug] Mozilla

by Gregory Avedissian

Still no luck. I tried installing as root, first by logging as su and calling up mozilla from command line, and then again (when that didn't work) by backing out of X and starting over as root, calling mozilla from the menu. I've tried running SuSEconfig and tried re-booting, but it doesn't make a difference. I'm not even sure if I really downloaded the file with the browser - both times I did it, I walked away while it was downloading, and when I came back, the browser was gone. Let me take that back - I have four copies of jre131i.xpi in /tmp. Would it make sense to repeat Charles' procedure under /opt/mozilla/plugins? There aren't any jre* files there or under /root/.mozilla, and not even a plugins directory in the latter. I'm guessing that the files downloaded but didn't install. Thanks.
