Zio! USB SmartMedia Card Reader-> How to Mount ?
by expatriate 09 Apr '03

09 Apr '03

Hello All I've been trawling the web looking for a definitive answer but have not been able to mount my Zio! SmartMedia card reader. I tried mounting /dev/sda1 but that failed. Has anyone had experience with this one? Faling that, can anyone recommend a failsafe USB SmartMedia reader/writer? TIA

Is it possible to use a Sun keyboard/mouse with suse
by Richard Bos 09 Apr '03

09 Apr '03

Is it possible to connect a Sun keyboard/mouse that comes with a Sun Sparc 5 to PC hardware and use it with e.g. SuSE? I assume (hope) that the Sun keyboard/mouse must (can) be connected via a converter. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

I see what you are saying tho' I'll try, although the earlier suggestion of created a linux and swap partition may be easier for him... can 'normal' fdisk do this or should I suggest he makes a blank FAT and let Yast shrink/repartition that ? rgds, Pete

The install was simple, and SANE recognized it right off. It works great. Perhaps someone has started a project for yours.

Re: [SLE] Concerning MIcrosoft software.

For all of you who live in or love Munich, I hope they choose Linux. Muenchen is really a very nice place. I have been there about 3 times, maybe 4. It even has a nice clean, quiet subway system, altho not too big, unless it has been extended since the mid 1970's. And how many cities have a great big lake not 20 KM away? (Yes, I know, Chicago and Detroit and Ottowa.) And Oktoberfest? I cannot imagine Muenchen looking like a blown up village. Most of whatever was blown up in WW II has been completely rebuilt, and it is certainly big enough to be considered a city. I will try to send the mayor a message in my rather basic German a little later. --doug At 01:03 04/08/2003 -0500, Curtis Rey wrote: >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >Hash: SHA1 > >On Tuesday 08 April 2003 00:58 am, Vishal Khanna wrote: >> <Flame> >> >> That is hillarious..

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Might someone give me some direction or heads up on how to get audacity to see my sound care? For that matter, I have a keyboard (musical type) hooked into my SB-Live 5.1 card. I can get kaconnect to see the midi port. But, I get no input from the keyboard to the system that I can hear.

Perhaps there is, I simply don't know as a newbie. I'm not much of a webmin or swat user, but as I recall there isn't any benefit to configuring Samba via webmin instead of via swat. Webmin is just a nice, simple interface for configuring machines - especially remote ones. -- John LeMay KC2KTH Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC | http://www.njmc.com | Phone 732-557-4848 Specializing in Microsoft and Unix based solutions -- John LeMay KC2KTH Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC | http://www.njmc.com | Phone 732-557-4848 Specializing in Microsoft and Unix based solutions
