Is there a way to burn mp3's to a cd so that they can play on any cd player like an audio cd does? *--------------------------------* | Chris Large clarge(a)macn.bc.ca | | http://clarge.bc.ca | *--------------------------------*

Need help synchronising 2 FTP Servers
by Eric Carbone 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

Scenario: I have 2 FTP Servers - one at company "A" and another at company "B". Here's what I would like to do: A person at company "A" uploads a file to their OWN ftp server (the one located at company "A"). The uploaded files always go to the same directory (i.e. the 'send' folder) I need some sort of shell script or other means of AUTOMAGICALLY taking this file and copying it over the Internet to the 'receive' directory on the FTP Server at company "B". (Basically, I need automated server mirroring). The same needs to work in reverse: Files uploaded to company "B" send folder need to me copied over the Internet to company "A" receive folder. If anyone is willing to help me accomplish this task I will send you an amazon.com gift certificate! :-) I need to get this working and I don't know a thing about shell scripting. Anyone up for the challenge, please contact me off-line. Thanks! --------------------------- Eric Carbone

RE: [SLE] Baffled newbie trying to reach NT LAN

I also had problems connecting to NT network and never found anything on the internet or Suse about how to do this. (Suse Support will not help with network unless you pay them) Here is what I did. Go to control panel, network, windows share. Enter the information there. Go to Lan Browsing, enter the domain name, then apply. Install LinNeighborhood from the Suse 7.3 CD. Open LinNeighborhood (Internet, Tools), then do the setup on it under Options, Preferences. You can enter your logon and password. Then you go to Options, Browse entire network. You should be able to see all of the windows shares. You can then select the folder or drive and mount it. This should put it in your home directory. You can close LinNeighborhood, and then browse the share with Konqueror or other file manager. When you shutdown and start up again, all you have to do is to open LinNeighborhood again, let it mount the drives automatically, then close it again. You could also have LinNeighborhood start automatically. You can also use Komba2, but I have not tried that yet.

I am getting to grips with SUSE 7.2, slowly, but I cannot manage to get the network set up properly. I have started SAMBA (I think) and set up my network card. I can PING things, so far so good. But everytime I click Local Network in the KDE file manager, it says I'm not set up properly and should go to the LISa setup screen and configure the settings there. But I don't understand what those settings mean! Moreover, I have scoured the manuals and help systems and cannot find any instructions for it anywhere. Argh. Help?

I agree with Landy. No problems here. I actually had purchased the suite before even downloading the demo. It is still in production and passed the promised date. They have offered to give refunds to those who are unhappy with the delay. To those who wonder about Hancom 6.0 as stable and functional... it is enough, that I don't want a refund and will happily await it's release and shipment. Best Regards, Keith B.

APC UPS Software
by Drew J. Como 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

All, I am new to this list so let me give everyone here a big hello and good morning (even though it may not be morning in your neck of the woods :-> ) I have a question regarding SuSE Linux 7.1+ and APC UPS'. I have already downloaded and installed the version for SuSE from APC's website, but it looks like a port of the Caldera build, and as you all know, SuSE and Caldera are unalike. I have sent numerous e-mails to APC, with guarantees of them getting back to me within 24 hours, but they have not responded... Not even once... :-( So, I'd like to ask all of you that are using APC UPS'. Are you using the PowerChute software, and if so, how did you hack it up to work? If not, what software are you using? Any help will be greatly appreciated... Thanks :-) ============================================ Drew J.

Python is slow on SuSE 8.2 vs other OS's
by rob 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

I benchmarked Python on SuSE 8.2 as I normally do with a new OS on my laptop. My somnec.py routine runs at 450sec on 8.2, vs. 300 sec on FreeBSD, vs. 250 sec on Windows. I have a 1Ghz P4 on a Vaio FX290. Somnec is a routine which mainly eats up cpu time doing variable width Romberg integration. I am wondering if there is a way to compile Python from SRPM and then give it compiler flags like -O2 -march=pentiumpro? I've never done that before so maybe I will RTFM :) On FreeBSD I just put make.conf into /etc. Is there an equivalent for Linux? Thanks, Rob. -- ------------------------- Numeric Python EM Project www.pythonemproject.com

Brian, >From a Windows 2000 PC, go to Start | Run... | CMD This will bring up a command prompt. Type ipconfig and hit enter. This will show you your ip address, subnet mask, and default gateway (the ip address of your linksys router) >From a Windows 98 PC, go to Start | Run... | and type 'COMMAND' (instead of 'CMD') I agree with Tom ... you should probably assign your PC's static IP addresses ...

I believe you set this in Control Center | YaST 2 Modules | Network Basic | Hostname and DNS. Somebody please correct me if I am wrong! > OK, I tried uname -a and got "Linux thor" thor should be the name > of the computer. I don't know what the Linux is doing in there. That is a normal return when using the uname -a command. The -a means "all" and returns all info about the machine. FYI ... To get JUST the machine name you can type uname -n (n = name) --------------------------- Eric Carbone
