[opensuse-project] instlux and opensuse10.2
by Jordi Massaguer i Pla 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Hi everyone, as discussed at the "openSUSE community meeting" I have implemented the opensuse10.2 version of instlux. Instlux [1] is an open source project for installing linux from windows, without configuring the BIOS, so that it makes it really easy for a windows user. You can download it from the project web page [1]. Next step, as discussed at the meeting, will be to rebuild the DVD so it includes instlux in the autorun file. This way, when inserted during a Windows session, it will automatically start the installer. For this purpose I will use the makeSuSEDVD[2] script, and as agreed on the meeting, I will report the results here. However, I can not publish the remastered DVD because of the registered trademarks. So, do I have permission to do so? Or should I use the rembrand [3] scripts in order to remove all the trademarks? Thanks, jordi [1] http://instlux.sourceforge.net [2] http://en.opensuse.org/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs [3] http://repos.opensuse.org/home:/jnweiger/SUSE_Factory/repodata ----------------------------------------------- Jordi Massaguer Pla openTrends Solucions i Sistemes phone: +34 93 320 84 14 fax: +34 93 300 35 27 jordi.massaguer(a)opentrends.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] aria2 and autocorrecting ISO downloads with metalink
by albryan＠comcast.net 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

The latest aria2 (0.10.0+1) can autocorrect metalink downloads if they contain chunk checksums. Basically, your finished download should have no errors when it's done, similar to rsync and BitTorrent downloads. And it should be pretty fast (depending on your connection speed) by using multiple mirrors. >From Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa, aria2 author: "As of 0.10.0 aria2 supports chunk checksum in Metalink: it validates chunk checksums while downloading a file like BitTorrent. This gives safer and more reliable download experience. 1) Before dowload begins: Use this to correct damaged downloads. 2) Realtime hash checking: Validate checksum on the fly like BitTorrent." Some people had file fragmentation issues if their filesystem was reiserfs. It would be good to have comments from people using reiserfs to see if --file-allocation=prealloc fixes the issue. Please post bug reports or comments at http://aria2.sourceforge.net/ to help improve it. --file-allocation=METHOD Specify file allocation method. METHOD is either none or prealloc. none doesnt pre-allocate file space. prealloc pre-allocates file space before download begins. This may take some time depending on the size of file. Default: none Metalinks for openSUSE containing chunk checksums are at: http://www.metalinker.org/samples.html#opensuse http://www.metalinker.org/samples/openSUSE-10_2-GM-LiveDVD_iso.metalink http://www.metalinker.org/samples/openSUSE-10_2-GM-DVD-i386_iso.metalink http://www.metalinker.org/samples/openSUSE-10_2-GM-DVD-x86_64_iso.metalink http://www.metalinker.org/samples/openSUSE-10_2-GM-DVD-ppc_iso.metalink aria2 packages at http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=/Network/aria2 are for version 0.10.0 which has a bug. Wait for release 0.10.0+1 or later to be packaged. Also note, .metalinks at http://download.packages.ro/metalink/opensuse/ do not yet contain these chunk checksums. -- (( Anthony Bryan )) Metalink [ http://www.metalinker.org ] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Re:Astronomical Program
by Rainer Brinkmann 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hello, thangs for all the responces. They helped a lot. But I ask for a program, moving my telescope, stacking my pictures taken with my web-cam, knowing picture-formats like fits and with a GUI like celestia and all the functions like kstar or carde du ciel. With other words a program wich do allmost all functions a hobby-astronom would use. Thats all, because I would stopp using 'windoof' for my astronomical hobby and would use Linux .
