Hi peoples, Just got this in my email. Looks exciting enough to want to try and image it !!! There's no danger of a collision. Even so, a big space rock will soon come so close to Earth that sky watchers can see it through binoculars. FULL STORY at http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2002/30jul_ny40.htm?list563691 -- Clive. Fighting for darker skies.

Qt Plugin Path
by Salman Khilji 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

I use the Qt Configuration tool under K | System | Configuration to delete /usr/lib/qt3/plugins from the plugin path. I do this because /usr/lib/qt3.0.3/plugins is already there in the path and the former is just a simlink to the later. Even if I save the configuration, when I restart KDE, the later get automatically added back. HOw do I permanently get rid of it? Salman

I have SuSE 8.0 Personal, and I am trying to upgrade some Perl modules. This requires ncftpget. Unfortunately, ncftpget does not appear to be on my system. Where can I get this program? Thanks in advance.

Samba on SuSE
by Jim Goode 01 Aug '02

01 Aug '02

I'm trying to configure access to a CD-RW on SuSE 7.3 (2.4.10) from a Windows 2000 client. Is this the correct forum for this discussion? If not, does anyone know of a Samba newsgroup or forum? If this is the right forum... I'm using user level shares and have successfully shared out directories and both a CD-ROM and the CD-RW and can read CDs just fine. I'm having what might be a security problem trying to write to the CD-RW. The SimpliCD software on the client is trying to save Image.ISO, which I assume is the CD image. When I navigate to the mounted CD-RW drive I get the following message: \\pspec\cdrw\Image.ISO Cannot access the file. Check security privileges over the network drive. Thanks, in advance for your help, Jim Jim Goode 972-964-4831 jimgoode(a)quixnet.net
