ALUG5 travel from Colchester/Ipswich?
by Green J M K 03 Feb '00

03 Feb '00

Well, it seems that Adrian can't provide a lift from Essex uni anymore, so I'll have to bow out of attendance unless some kind person can provide transportation from Colchester or perhaps from Ipswich. Any offers?

ALUG5
by John Woodard 02 Feb '00

02 Feb '00

As it's only 1 week to go before ALUG 5 is upon us I wondered has anybody posted an announce message to the UK Linux newsgroups? Who is coming and what are you bringing? There is a map posted on the ALUG web site http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk/meetings.html to help you find the hall. It might also be an idea if we could agree on IP addresses etc. before hand to save the normal ALUG tradition of a network frenzy for 50% of the meeting. :-) Cheers, BJ [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Linux on a laptop: a request for help on Sunday
by John Woodard 02 Feb '00

02 Feb '00

I've got this Dell Latitude laptop PII366, 128MB RAM 4.6Gb hdd. I'm having trouble getting Linux on it due to its lack of CD-ROM drive. I have however got a PCMCIA external CD-ROM for it but I cannot get Linux to see the device at bootup. So far I've tried using the PCMCIA boot disk image that is supplied in the RH6.1 CD but despite finding the PCMCIA device (I know it accesses the CD drive because the damn thing spins up at the appropriate moment) no joy, I just get messages saying insert driver disk for the PCMCIA device and guess what the only drivers I've got are for Benevolent Bill's operating systems. I did think about dumping the install tree in the root of a DOS partition but when I tried that it wouldn't play ball throwing up about illegal characters in the file names such as <translation table> and such like? I'm bringing it on Sunday has anybody had any experience with this? If so I'd appreciate so help - it's definitely worth a beer to you.

SuSE/RedHat RPMS
by Green J M K 31 Jan '00

31 Jan '00

Hi guys, Rather than torturing myself installing all the KDE Development tools, I am trying to locate the all-in-one package, KDK. I have only found KDK binary rpms for Suse 6.1/2, though. RedHat bins are no-where to be seen. So, is it safe to install and use the SuSE 6.1 rpm on a RedHat 6.0 system? Cheers, James.
