Thanks Guys,
I had actually decided that I would try to make something like your script
Ed. I just figured I should get me feet a bit wetter before I jumped in like
that.
I have only had Redhat or Mandrake installed for a total of a month, and I
am still trying to learn about file permissions, and command-line stuff in
Linux.
I actually don't mind command line at all- once I am familiar with what I
can do(I learned on a Digital Rainbow back in the very early '90's).
I will give this a shot …
[View More]tonight whaen I have some time to play.
Thanks Again,
Chris

Hello,
I have put a few different distro's on a PII 233/64, and can easily see how
this can supplant whatever Microsoft OS I have on my main machine. In fact-
I would like to install Mandrake or Redhat on my 1.2 gig tbird, as
everything I need is there. EXCEPT 1 THING!!!
I have tried to connect for the last month on a dialup account using KPPP-
or whatever other config utility I could find, but ALWAYS timeout after connect.
I have visited many sites that go over KPPP, and I do know what DNS #…
[View More]'s are,
and most of the options are. I always have manually configured my accounts
in Windows whatever.
I dialout, I connect, I see the connect speed, but it seems when PPPD
starting- it times out. I am using PAP, as I should.
Does anyone here connect through dialup using Net1plus? I live in Fitchburg.
Net1Plus has been NO help whatsoever. All they are allowed to do is give me
DNS numbers, and POP configs- but I already know that stuff.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi everybody,
This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, which will be held on
Thursday, December 13th, at 7:00 PM in Kinnicutt Hall at WPI in Worcester,
MA. Directions can be found on the WLUG website.
At this meeting, I'll bring the stuff that I wanted to do from last
meeting, which I unfortunately missed due to illness. (Not bad, I've only
missed one meeting in 4.5 years, and it took a probably case of pneumonia
to do it!).
I have a bunch of freebies from the Annual Linux …
[View More]Showcase to give away.
I'd like to plan some activities for calendar year 2002. I'll update you
on the budget. We'll talk about the seeming instabilities in the recent
2.4 kernels, and anything else you wish. There is no formal speaker for
this meeting (unless somebody sends me e-mail very soon and volunteers).
After the meeting, we'll go out for pizza/beer at the Boynton Restaurant.
I've just requested the meeting room for 12 dates in 2002. Once I get
confirmation, I'll post the 2002 meeting schedule on the website.
See ya later,
Andy

o.k., I admit it, I suck dead donkey dicks in hell at this.
I know I can do gooder - maybe you can help. The perl
below works, I just think its real ugly and I can't stand
the thought that the same thing using awk is simply:
cmd | awk '{ if ($1 ~ /^[0-9]*$/) {print $2}}' >> $outlist
One place I'm lost is with embedding carriage returns, which
awk does so nicely. I played with arrays, stripping extra \n's
after the loop, then after adding the stupid if statement below
to …
[View More]prevent the extra blank line, I just gave up thinking I need a
really good flogging. It was at this point I started to regret every
brain cell I lost between 1976 and 1986, so I decided to ask
you so I could get on with my life...
open( IN, "$cmd |");
while (<IN>) {
($f1,$f2) = split(' ', $_);
if ( $f1 =~ /^[0-9]*$/ ) {
if ( $list ) {
$list = "$list\n$f2"
} else {
$list = $f2
}
}
}
close IN;
open ( OUT, ">$oulist");
print OUT "$list";
close OUT;
thanks,
Mike

HI gang,
OK, so let's say that I get one of those players that plays audio CDs or
CDs with a bunch of MP3 files on them. (I don't mean converting the MP3s
to audio first).
My question is this: what format is used for the MP3 CD? Is it just a
standard ISO9660 CD with the MP3 files and playlists(?) layed out with a
particular directory scheme? Or is it something else?
Thanks,
Andy

Andy,
The Way I lay my CD's out is
root
Artist
Album
mp3's
I personally use mkisofs and the loopback mount them as a sanity check. As
for the format, I use ISO9660/Joliet with "allow stuff that breaks ISO" aka
mkisofs -U -J -o some.iso a_subdirectory_layed_out_like_above/
It'll then bitch about this not conforming but everything works fine.
Tim.

Right click on windows desktop, choose settings->background, then under
wallpaper select (None). That disables windows wallpaper.
Maybe there's something else. Hope it helps.

Subject: [Wlug] VNC performance
Hi All,
I remember some time ago talking with Andy, and others about VNC performance
at a
wlug meeting. I remember that setting the depth 8 will …
[View More]help performance, as
well
as disabling the wallpaper. I am running the server on windows, and the
client
on a linux machine. VNC's site has info for disabling wallpaper, but it
seems to
involve editing a registry file. When i try to do so, i get an access denied
message, because that file is read only. Can someone help me out here? I
really
know very little about windows. On the client side, the option '-depth 8'
doesn't seem to do very much i get '16 bits per pixel'.
If anyone knows of any other methods for speeding up VNC, please post.
Thanks,
--Brad

Try using a registry editor on Windows:
(Typically in these places on Windows 2000)
C:\WINNT\regedit.exe
C:\WINNT\system32\regedt32.exe
