>This is bad. When you said "biscuit supply" I thought PC/104 switched mode for embedded linux devices... That is what I meant, of course! The chocolate topped ones.

How was the biscuit supply? :-) Sorry not to have made it. I did almost get Samba going last night though. In linux, the test smb.conf I did works fine, but windows says the network is unavailable when I have a look in Network Neighbourhood. Telnet, ping are fine so it isn't the networking. I suspect it may be the netbios name in linux? I get an error on boot in linux to do with setting the hostname, although it goes on to name the computer "mossey". Did many folk show up? Jenny.

LaTeX/XML

|You have two routes to go from there that I can see. One, which will |probably get you polished documents with less hacking for now is |LaTeX. The other is some sort of XML markup and formatting tools, but |they're Not All There Yet. (anonymous coward ALUG reader getting to grips) I've running a loopback host configuration of Cocoon (apache.org/XML) for testing purposes, we're about to try installing it on UEA Music servers, to dispatch Humanities XML Group content. So far, it seems to do exactly what it says on the can. Fiddly bits: the Java Servlets (running Tomcat for now) and getting around XSL. It seems to me, though, that for a no-programming (other than bits of XML) solution, it's really well put together... Could use some advice on what other (maybe more elegant, even less conf needed) solutions to text/XHTML/XML content delivery there might be around... cheers, d ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------- david casal +44 (0) 1603-613607 | d.casal(a)uea.ac.uk http://www.ariada.uea.ac.uk/~dcasal | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------\

Following from a suggestion, I'm compiling an index of homepages and projects for the website. If people would be so kind as to email me or the list with their homepage address, I'll get to it soon. Or tell me in IRC tomorrow evening. I'd also best finally go kick my site back into shape. -- MJR

Atlast I made it to a ALUG meeting ! Mind you, the weather nearly put me off. The last few miles was quite exciting with all the water running off the fields across the roads ! I'm sorry, but I can't remember most of the names , but I'm sure I'll recognise the faces next time ! Peter Onion.

It looks like I'm going to Syleham from King's Lynn via Norwich (because of the inclement weather) and will have at least one free space in my car. Anyone wanting to occupy it, please email quick. -- MJR
