I need to free up some drive space and was wondering if there is a utility out there that will help me to remove unnecessary files. Failing that - is there a process to follow that will help with freeing up extra space. -- Ted Gervais Coldbrook, Nova Scotia Canada Email: ve1drg(a)fox.nstn.ca Phone: 902.679.2253

Thank You very much!!! The best answer I found on the net was to create symbolic links from the numbered System.mapsX.X.X to /boot System.map in boot.local. Your method is much cleaner.

transcribing from .wav files

Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2000 02:43:52 -0800 From: John Grant <jmgrant(a)primenet.com> Message-id: <20001109024352.A14645(a)primenet.com> Subject: transcribing from .wav files Is there any software on the SuSE CDs (or elsewhere) that is good for transcribing audio files to text? I've got some tapes of lectures that I've been wanting to transcribe, but finding time has been problematic. I was thinking that if I could record them as .wav files or something and then feed them to a program that spits out text that might be one way to do it. Note that the software doesn't have to be able to work in realtime. I don't really care how long it takes, just that it's fairly accurate with less-than-studio-quality input, doesn't need training, and doesn't need babysitting while it does its thing (or much time for me to learn how it works). I don't care much about formatting on the output. I'm not going to be publishing the text, just using it for reference and maybe quoting short sections. Anything good enough for grep is good enough for me. :) <p>TIA, -John

Thanks for the advice, however I rang ntlworld and they said we had 'illegally' registered two numbers from two addresses! When they found out, they naturally pulled the plug.

Run xscreensaver-demo Choosing to enable everything you want with the options you want, then (after much fun!) exit. xscreensaver-demo will save your options in an .xscreensaver file. You can then simply choose to run the demon on starting x by appending this line to your .xinit file: xscreensaver -nosplash & (you'd best check the no splash option, my quote is from memory). I also disabled the screensaver under KDE so there's no conflict. k.

Here is what I do. I have a debian box which is my dsl box and I installed ntpd on it. This box continually polls a local timeserver (clock.via.net) for the time. I then use ntpdate to hit my server for time synchs. On my SuSE 7 box, I installed xntpd and setup a cron job that hits my server every 2 hours using a command syntax like "npdate -s 192.168.0.1". I don't use both of those concurrently. I only use ntpdate here and the only system I have with a timeserver running on it is my dsl box which is fulltime connected. <p> -- Michael Perry mperry(a)tsoft.com ------------------
