emacs+iso-88591+iso-8859-2 in text console
Hello list, The subject says everything. I would like to use emacs in text console (i.e. not in X) and be able to use both European charcater sets: iso-8859-1 and iso-8859-2. Apparently it is possible to combine two console fonts but I never managed to do that and make emacs use such combination. Obviously I would prefer to use utf-8 encoding in emacs but any other solution is welcome Thanks in advance for any ideas Piotr -- -- Piotr Kopszak, Ph.D. Polish Art Gallery, National Museum in Warsaw -http://kopszak.mnw.art.pl/ http://www.magnatune.com/artists/altri_stromenti -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

More trouble with DFS

There is a line in dfs.cfg where you can list the files/dirs that you will want to put on the ramdisk instead of on the CD. That solved the problem quickly, and Xorg runs fine to my content. I wanted also to install Polish console fonts and localization. When I try to install the package fonty it tries to install console-common which fails. Actually, the question is more general. What are the option when a package fails to install? Another question. Is there any way I can choose locales which should be built by default for the live CD?

Photo collection management
Dear list, Couple of days ago I decided (evidently too late!) that the amount of pictures on CD-ROMs and on my disks has attained critical mass and I no longer am able to get any orientation whatsover in my pictures. That's probably the moment when most other people also think about finally starting to use some collection management software. I spent couple of days looking but haven't find anything that would really suit my needs, that is: 1. Possibility of cataloguing my old CD-ROMs without the need of copying them to disk. 2. No need to rename any files. 3. Possibility to read and write EXIF and IPTC data (and really use them in cataloguing pictures) I guess that's it for now. I would be very grateful if anyone shared his or her experiences in a similar case.

Photo collection management

Burn this info to another CD, together with the thumbnails - this forms the index CD. afaik, EXIF data is stored with the JPEG. Alternatively, you could experiment with various image management programs, such as Gallery (A php-based apache gallery program), however you will have to figure out how to manually upload the images via ssh yourself, rather than using the website interface as you will quickly find that it is just too slow if you have more than a few hundred images (My images are about 1M each). Exactly, that will be a problem as the sizes of pictures vary between rougly 30 kb and 60 mb. I tried ImgSeek and it seems almost what I'm looking for, but it's documentation is very modest.

Viewing Authorware contents on Debian

I tried to run it with wine from stable distribution but it doesn't work. Is there any way to view individual a5e files on debian?

Has anyone done this before or can confirm SATA should not be a problem? Using a Abit AA8 motherboard, with the onboard SATA controller, I encountered significant dificulties in installing to a SATA boot disk running in the native high performance mode. I think that it would be no trouble in the compatability mode where it basically pretends to be a PATA disk, but I wanted the max performance (The disks under full SATA mode look like sort of like SCSI disks to the system, showing up as /dev/sda, etc.) I wound up using a PATA boot disk and just use the 4 SATA disks after booting. When I have more time, I do hear it's possible to get a booting kernel built that will come up on the native SATA disks... Best Regards! -Dorn I'm sorry to say so but in my opinion use of SATA discs should be avoided at the moment, if one wants to have a stable system. It is possible though, by including appropriate modules for your chipset into the kernel (the most recent kernel if possible).

Re: How to display CMYK tiffs correctly?
You need something that understands colour profiles. There are probably only two ways. The easiest method is to use tiff2pdf (part of libtiff-tools) and then use the lastest version of acroread (not any other viewer) to look at it. If you need more control, then you must use tifficc, which is part of the excellent little cms colour management library. You also will need to download a set of standard colour profiles from Adobe - just google for it. then use this command: tifficc -i /path/to/cmyk_image_profile -o /path/to/monitor_rgb_profile \ -p path/to/cmyk_proof_intent_profile cmyk_image.tif \ rgb_image.tif cheers dc -- David Purton [EMAIL PROTECTED] For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. 2 Chronicles 16:9a This almost solves the problem, unless you're stuck with files saved with a popular compression algorithm.
