USB at work, winmodem at home, nothing is ever all working just how I'd like it. I've got 2.4.19 on my box here at work and there is no problem with the USB connection on that. Since 2.2.20 on the laptop appeared to have USB support, it would have been easier to get that going though. Thanks. Jen.

Re: [Alug] Meeting at London Linux Expo?
by tom potts 04 Oct '02

I know it sounds daft but as we're generally talking about freeware do you think someone could organise a weekend expo somewhere? My company wont give me time off for a Linux expo and holidays are hard to come by. I'd certainly think about paying at the door if that would help. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I'm doing a pop music quiz for our local social club and I need to get some 10 - 15 second clips from various mp3 files and save tham as stand alone wave or mp3s. What is a good simple tool to use under either kde or gnome? Cheers, BJ

Installing WordPerfect on Debian
by Ian Douglas 03 Oct '02

03 Oct '02

Hi Folks, Is anyone running WordPerfect on Debian? If so then how did you install it? I have obtained two Corel Linux WordPerfect 8.0 tarballs (guilg00.gz and guilguk0.gz) which I would like to install on my Debian 3.0 system. I have followed the instructions and copied them into a temp directory (/opt/wp80) then used "tar xvfz" to unpack them. Amongst the unpacked files is one called "Runme" which I ran ("./Runme") as root. It asks me if I have untared all the files. I reply "y". It says "Extracting files... Please wait.". It then comes up with an error message "Linux 2.4.18-bf2.4 not certified. Continue?" to which I reply "y". I then get literally screenfulls of error messages about files not being found. The error messages scroll past far to fast to read but I managed to catch the final screen's worth and have put it below. Anyone have a clue what is going wrong? Thanks, Ian. ### Partial error output ### sed: can't read shared/.prlist: No such file or directory chmod: too few arguments Try `chmod --help' for more information. chmod: getting attributes of

Re: [Alug] Installing WordPerfect on Debian - Why no .deb?
by NuTTeR -- Not Entered -- 02 Oct '02

02 Oct '02

Why is there no deb package for wordperfect? It would make sence its a nice editor, or are there lissenceing problems? I belive there is an error in WP that means you have to pach it to work... but i think that that is just a date problem 00 == 2000 == 1900 type date problem. Its not supported by corel any more, but i think there is a patch... and a big user groupe on the web some where. (It was on slashdot.org a while ago i think ;-) -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://www.graffiti.net Powered by Outblaze

Sharp Zaurus SL-500
by Wayne Stallwood 29 Sep '02

29 Sep '02

Has anyone played with one of these yet ?, I was looking at the Dabs catalogue and noticed that they are for sale at a reasonable price. I am tempted as I wanted to replace my trusty old Palm, and was even considering a Pocket PC device. I like the idea of Linux on a PDA (but I still have some major reservations about it's suitability) and I can't find any reviews on the Net. Previous Linux/PDA efforts seem to have had lukewarm reception from reviewers and seeing as Dixon's are unlikely to stock this toy I can't exactly go and try one out. Cheers Wayne
