screensaver - how?
by Chris Green 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

Having moved from xfce to fvwm2 I now no longer seem to have a screensaver. xscreensaver is installed on my system but the manual pages don't make it clear how to actually run it. What's the 'normal' way of running it? -- Chris Green (chris(a)areti.co.uk) "Never ascribe to malice that which can be explained by incompetence."

Weekly IRC reminder
by Brett Parker 26 Dec '05

26 Dec '05

This is the automated ALUG IRC meeting reminder sent to remind you that there is an IRC meeting tonight (Monday) at 8.00pm. Historically, these used to be the only time a lot of us would be about, now the channel has some usual faces that are there most of the time (except at silly o'clock, when we might be sleeping, or on the second thursday of the month, where we might be drinking in the Reindeer), so don't feel limited to visit during this time, come visit us when ever you feel like it! The meeting takes place on the irc server irc.alug.org.uk in the #alug channel. Most IRC clients should allow you to get there with the commands "/server irc.alug.org.uk" and "/join #alug". Popular IRC clients include xchat, irssi and EPIC on Unix, and Mirc under windows. Here are some links to help you get started with irc. Unix http://www.xchat.org/ http://www.irssi.org/ http://www.epicsol.org/ Windows http://www.mirc.com (loads of help with irc for newbies!)

Live Distro with NTFS read/write for slow PCs
by Ian Douglas 19 Dec '05

19 Dec '05

Hi, Does anyone know of a bootable Linux CD which allows both read and write NTFS file system access. I would prefer the distro to boot to the command line as it will be used on old (100MHz and below) PCs with ancient graphics cards. I just need access to the ls, cp, rm, mv type commands... nothing complicated. Seasons Greetings! Ian.
