Official ALUG-members CD-ROM
by James Green 30 Apr '99

30 Apr '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Hi again, So I'm sitting here up in our SE lab, connected by JANET, CD-R in the box, d/ling various popular 'ix stuff like GNOME/KDE, Apache, GIMP, etc., and I'm thinking, this could be maintained and updated by ALUG members, kept on an ALUG FTP site, written to CD before our meetings, and distributed then to our members. We then know what to get, and can update it when new versions and new s/w get announced by Freshmeat, etc. I am currently working/aiming at the following: .tar.gz/.tgz .src.rpm/.i386.rpm (latter where src not available) I include the rpm as it is the most popular of the packaging formats. So, I'll do the honours and create the ALUG1 CD-ROM, packed with stuff you either need new or need updated, and if no-one objects, members can continue on from there... Can an ftp.anglian.lug.org.uk be arranged with write-access for ALUG CD-ROM admins, anon read-access for everyone else? We ought to have some web-interface too for a ChangeLog, requests, etc. Any objections? - Now I *really* need JANET from home ;-) Regards, James Green Term e-mail: jmkgre(a)essex.ac.uk | Home e-mail: jg(a)cyberstorm.demon.co.uk Homepage: http://www.cyberstorm.demon.co.uk [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECT of "unsubscribe" to this list and "subscribe" to ] [ alug-announce(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Quickies time
by James Green 28 Apr '99

28 Apr '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Hi all, Quick update: I forgot to enquire about trains last night but will do so in next 24hrs. I now have three TDK CD-R discs to master. Being on a uni NT4 machine I need .iso mages of RH6.0, Debian and Caldera so ucol has a plea for local (ac.uk) mirrors for these. Respond please! I can get more CD-Rs from my housemate, although at what price I don't know; the TDKs I got from our ESE stores cost GBP1.20 each. Rip off. Due to problems getting Apache/PHP3 running here plus university work I haven't managed much on the website as yet. Bear with me on that one; but I do at least have an ugly first draft using SSI/PHP3 which grabs /. and freshmeat headlines purrrfectly :) I may be seeing someone (another student) to come along. I forgot and told him it was Saturday not Sunday and he said he couldn't make it. I'll correct him if I see him - he's a Londoner so it would be a while-at-uni arrangement I think ;-) Oh, and could someone do a demo of GIMP at the meeting? I'm a Photoshopper and I'd quite like a conversion course... GIMP-1.1.4 crashes quite quickly here. Also, a look at X equivs of oft-used Windows apps could be useful - a feature I'd like to develop on for the website. Particular emphasis on Office apps, mail and news I think. Tin "sucks" as they say in #linuxhelp. Right, I got a few wired probs here with Linux, plus a Java assignment to do for Friday, so I'd better hop to it. Best wishes, James Green GNOMEified and Enlightened.

28 Apr '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Hello, Are there any kind souls in Norwich with enough space in a car to be able to get me to the meeting on Sunday? I'm based along the Ipswich Road and would happily throw a few pounds in their direction for petrol costs, etc. Does anybody have any copies of RedHat 6.0 burnt on a CD-ROM as yet, as a matter of interest? And me final doodah is what is currently planned for the Sunday anyway?

I've got 10 clean CDs here, which cost me a quid each. I'll bring them along, even if I don't get time to sort my burner out. Cheers, Laurie.

Drop me a line people if you think you can make it! Laurie: it's up to you on the sarnies front, as long as there's somewhere handy we can buy good grub, I'll be happy! (Those that know me well, yes I do mean "Adnams" when I say grub :-) Hopefully we'll have a fair selection of CDs kicking around, and I can bring along a Zip drive if need be. I'll leave it up to you on the CD-burner front (hate to inflict needless hours of Win95 use on you). > Is someone bringing a mini-hub? Will I need spare cables etc? I'll bring some cheapernet cable, I'll see if I can lay my hands on a hub. If anyone else has one, PLEASE BRING IT! As for advertising: please print out http://www.anglian.lug.org.uk/images/advert.gif and stick it up wherever you can find space. If you'd rather have postscript or some other format, drop me a line. If you'd like the logo to put together another poster, gimme a shout. If you want to throw together a better logo - please do! (I'm not an artist, that's for sure.)
