Mandrake 10.0 Official CDs available
by Joe Button 15 Apr '04

15 Apr '04

Hi. I've started downloading Mandrake 10 Official so if anyone would like CDs burnt let me know. I'll be away for a few days from tomorrow though so it'll be a little while before I can actually supply the goods. You'll need to either collect them from me in Norwich or I might be able to bring them to the next Norwich meeting (May 13th?) but I can't say for definite. If anyone's wondering, Mandrake are only allowing MandrakeClub members to download the ISOs but everything's under GPL or compatible licenses so yes, I am allowed to distribute them. Paying your subs to the 'Club will make you a better, happier, healthier, and more attractive person though. Joe x

Someone make me a CD?
by Ted.Harding＠nessie.mcc.ac.uk 15 Apr '04

15 Apr '04

Hi Folks, I'm wondering if someone with a fast net connection (and a bit of time to spare) would be willing to make me a CD (or two) of the contents of a website. The site in question is http://www.stats.bris.ac.uk/R/ and I want everything inside this -- i.e. everything with a URL that begins as above (there are some links that point outside this, i.e. don't begin as above, but I don't need those). I'm willing to pay a few quid for the service, or provide goodies to equivalent value ... With thanks in advance, and best wishes to all, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <Ted.Harding(a)nessie.mcc.ac.uk> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 167 1972 Date: 14-Apr-04 Time: 22:25:14 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------

FTP problem - update
by bjsamuels＠beenthere-donethat.org.uk 13 Apr '04

13 Apr '04

I have updated the firmware in my router and I can now do FTP uploads from my laptop but still not from my desktop. My laptop is running Debian Stable but my desktop runs Debian Testing/Sarge. This problem now appears to be Debian Testing related although I can't find out what is causing it. Any more ideas anyone - please!

Planet ALUG
by MJ Ray 12 Apr '04

12 Apr '04

Hi all, I'm setting up a simple aggregator for ALUG members' blogs (side effect of some other work I was doing), similar to planet.debian.net etc. I hope to make it public on Wednesday or Thursday. If you have a blog and would like to appear on the page, please email me the URL of its RSS, or speak to me on IRC if you find me (irc.alug.org.uk #alug tonight, for example). -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. Please http://remember.to/edit_messages on lists to be sure I read http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ gopher://g.towers.org.uk/ slef(a)jabber.at Creative copyleft computing services via http://www.ttllp.co.uk/

Adding to kdm "Session Type" list
by Ian Douglas 12 Apr '04

12 Apr '04

I have just installed IceWM on my system and like it. I can run IceWM ok if I make /etc/X11/xinitrc a symbolic link to xinitrc.icewm and use startx however I would prefer to run kdm and have IceWM appear in the "Session Type" list on the kdm login screen. Does anyone know how to add IceWM to this "Session Type" list? Thanks, Ian.

Norwich evening meeting: 8th April 2004
by Syd Hancock 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

(Ignore previous message - wrong date in the subject line. Definitely time for a holiday...) --------------- The monthly Norwich 'second thursday' evening social meet will take place this week, 8th April from 8 pm at the City Gate, Dereham Road. Full address, photo, link to map etc here: http://www.norwichpubs.info/norwichpubs/pubpages/citygate.htm If you have not attended one of these meets before, they are informal and unstructured and general chat covers many topics as well as the obvious linux-related stuff. There may or may not be a penguin on the table :-) === directions etc === The City Gate pub is just off the inner ring road at the junction of Grapes Hill and Barn Road. Dereham Road is the A1074 - take the Costessey junction on the A47 if coming from west of Norwich. Otherwise, when going clockwise around the inner ring road, Dereham road is the left turn at the traffic lights at the bottom of Grapes Hill (but see parking info below). There is a very large Cane Furniture shop on the corner and this is probably the best landmark from either direction. The pub, which has a large glass frontage (see link to picture above), is next to the cane furniture shop. There is ample parking nearby, including possible free parking on the forecourt of a wine warehouse next to the pub or on side roads off Dereham Road. There is also Pay-and-Display parking ( £1.40 for the evening) on the other side of the ring road off St Swithin's road. Coming down Grapes Hill turn right at the lights (St Benedict's Street) and then left into the entrance to the car park which is behind Toys-R-Us. Syd
