Somewhere on the CD, there should be some .IMG files, RAWRITE.EXE and some instructions, which should tell you how to make a "rescue disk" and use it. Been a while since I did that, so I'll stop there. -- MJR Stats Postgrad mailto:h089@mth.uea.ac.uk http://stats.mth.uea.ac.uk/ UEA Norwich UK mailto:markj@stu.uea.ac.uk http://www.stu.uea.ac.uk/ Beware the man with the early Sony Handicam...

ALUG 2 - another possible event

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Here's a thought, of the kind that only occurs having spent an evening in the pub. On a similar vein to the editor paintball wars they have in the States, I'd like to propose an "email client Pool tournament". So far, we have Pine, Balsa, Gnus and Mutt. Whaddayareckon?

I'm sure that we can do a kernel compile somewhere. Installing RPMs would need a RedHat box, so maybe we can show you that on your machine when fixing your soundcard (if it's possible). > Anybody needing a lift from the Diss area mail me.

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Excuse the newbie status but would it be possible to go through some fairly basic stuff on Sunday as well as all those really neat demos like last time. Things like compiling the kernel, installing .rpms and getting my poxy sound card (SBLive value) to work on a RH6.0 distro would be great! Anybody needing a lift from the Diss area mail me.

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk * List: alug-announce(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Hi, A room has been booked in Union House at UEA for ALUG2 a week on Sunday, from 1400 until 1900. If you can now tell me what we're going to do, I'll publicise it on the newsgroups.

distributed.net

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk So, you know all that spare processor time you've got? Feel like donating it to a (very) worthy cause? I've set up a team for ALUG on distributed.net. If you've not come across them before, distributed.net is a distributed computer on a quite insane scale. They currently have somewhere in the region of 175,000 members working together on somewhere in the region on 220,000 computers ranging from 386s up to supercomputers. As the distributed.net tagline says: The largest computer on earth. It's all pretty impressive stuff - distributed.net is currently working on breaking an RC5 code (basically to prove that it's possible to do it in a sensible amount of time) If you'd care to join distributed.net and the ALUG team, then we'll see just how much useful work our computers can get done while we're not using them. Take a look at http://www.distributed.net/ for more details. See you next sunday!

Hi, I'm back ;) We can certainly hold a meeting in one of the meetings rooms in Union House, or possibly the Hive bar if it's not in use, but I need a suggestion of a time before I can see what we've got. Next weekend or the one after? Also, UH isn't blessed with very good net connections in/near the possible meeting rooms, so we'll be confined to localnet, I suspect.
