None of the programs that is installed by default in MDK 8.1 seems to perform this function. (I thought that kmix did; but there's no Save As... to allow me to tell it where to put any recorded audio; the help talks about recording, but doesn't give any clue as to how to actually perform the function.) Actually, while I'm here, I might as well state that what I would _really_ like to do is to download the RealAudio file much more quickly than real time (it's in an audio archive on the Web), then listen to it later at my own convenience. As far as I can tell, though, RealNetworks seem to be one of these companies that threatens to sue anyone who makes such a program available :-( Doc Evans PS I tried a simple-minded rec, but then RealPlayer couldn't get access to the audio device; presumably this is because rec doesn't go through artsd. -- Phone: +1 303 494 0394 Mobile: +1 720 839 8462 Fax:+1 781 240 0527 -- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Why Adaptec is problematic in Tyan mobo? None IDE cdrom worked? That's really bad. Thank you too Kayaturk.

I have run into problems in the past, where having the card installed caused led to many headaches both during and after install. I have had better success by leaving the card out of the box during install, then putting it in place and letting Linux (kudzu or whatever) auto-detect the card and load the pcmcia kernel module. After that, it was a simple matter to configure networking for the card. I have heard of others having similar pcmcia troubles, so I don't think either you or me are alone in this.

[expert] Confirmed dead 2.4.27.8
OK, when I got a usable 8.1 system with kernel-2.4.8-26mdk running, I decided to try one more time with kerne-2.4.17.8. This time, instead of doing a source build I just installed the binary and rebooted. It booted up and...jus as with my own build attempts, pcmcia failed miserablely and sound was dead. What I get are several things. First, and REALLY unfortunately, with the 2.4.17 kernels it appears that pcmcia-cs is fully incorporated into the kernel. This makes fixing the pcmcia problem very difficult. First off, ALL the friggin' pcmcia modules are there where they are supposed to be but pcmcia doesn't exist in /etc/init.d so it doesn't/can't start at bootup. I built and installed pcmcia-cs-3.1.31 and then did the /etc/init.d/pcmcia start thing and the kernel complained that i82398.o and ds.o doesn't exist. I looked and they DO exist exactly where they are supposed and expected to me. They are really really there but they are invisable somehow to the 2.4.17 kernel. I have gone back to 2.4.8 and have pcmcia working as Buddha intended. 2.4.17 IS dicked up and I would like to address the very real problem with integrating pcmcia into the kernel source. I have a couple wireless lan cards. To make them work properly I need linux-wlan-ng source. Linux-wlan-ng requires pcmcia-cs sourcecode that is properly configured for your kernel/system...and it must have a pcmcia-cs-x.x.x directory of some sort with the config information in it in order to build and install. With the pcmcia incorporated into the kernel and scattered all over several different directories, it is impossible to build linux-wlan-ng. The drivers for my wireless cards in the kernel-supplied pcmcia are crippled. They do not allow for monitoring mode, instead forcing the wimply wvlan_cs module on prism2 cards that have the capability to operate in promiscuous and monitor mode. The wvlan_cs driver doesn't allow this, not on the prism2 cards and not on orinoco cards for which it is better suited. ONLY the linux-wlan-ng drivers allow this full functionality from prism2 wireless cards. Until/unless Mandrake incorporates linux-wlan-ng prism2 drivers instead of pcmcia-cs crippled prism2 drivers into their newer kernels, it will remain absolutely necessary to download, build, and install linux-wlan-ng source based on a separate pcmcia-cs source package.

Now I know *what* the message means, but I can't understand how the install can have failed to establish the need for is9660 (as I did install from CD after all) and it's been so long since I messed with kernel configuration etc that I can't remember how to fix the problem (quickly).

Re: [expert] Good audio recording program?
kmix only controls the mixer and as such allows you to select the source to record from (red LEDs at the bottom). You need something else to do the actual recording. Want a GUI? Try KRecord (apps.kde.com) which does a very good job and will display VU and FFT info to help you get the levels right. I like it 'cus it allows both record to RAM and record to disk. Long (1hour, 500-600MB) high quality recordings are possible to disk. But a GUI is no good if you won't be there to kick it off. I like streamer for this (part of LM8.1). mainly 'cus it can be kicked off from cron and has a recording length parameter to get it to stop again. I record some radio programs this way. However, I only record from audio in and I'm not sure how easy it will be for you to share the /dev/dsp device with both real player and one of the above.

[expert] Font antialiasing
OK, I believe there used to be a file in one's home directory that had information as to what font sizes would get antialiased. Where did it go? I've looked at all the likely dot files in my home directory and nothing mentions antialiasing. I ask because I select antialiasing in kcontrol but NONE of the linux fonts get antialiased. MUST I install windoze fonts? I would be happy to but...if I install windows fonts I invariably lose the ability to find/use ANY of the decent linux fonts like helvetica. For whatever reason, installing windoze ttf fonts eliminates helvetica from the list of fonts available to me. I am going to try downloading a real kernel source tarball from kernel.org and see if that will work...at least 2.4.13, which I KNOW works great from past experience. praedor (after my 5th MD 8.1 reinstall...finally getting a non-sound-but-otherwise-working system) _ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [expert] ISP setup
Starting their own ISP may be more extensive and costly for what they need. But Linux could be of some service in this instance. They could purchase an Internet connection from any number of local ISPs. Whether it's a business DSL connection, a business T1 connection, ISDN, possibly even a cable connection. From there they could build a Linux or BSD gateway that can asign internal IP address to all the laptops, and allow them to share the same Internet connection. This could cost the company anywhere from $50 a month, on up to $3,000. Just depends on how far they want to go, and how much bandwidth they want/require.

Yes, and very simple using linux, You need a pc with multi serial card if more than 2 modem/lines are required (such as Cyclades http://www.cyclades.com), plug some modems. Set a dialup server (using portslave, http://www.linuxrouter.org) Set a gateway (dedicated line) to Internet. Then the users can dialup to your linux box and do as they do with ISPs. The other solution if just want to update patient, you can use smsgateway such as alamin (http://www.alamin.org) so updating and retrieving patient status using handphone's sms.

Re: [expert] Good audio recording program?
Thanks for the recommendations for programs to record audio. So far (about three hours) I can't get any of them to work, but I'll keep on trying. mpegrec (in its wavrec guise) looked like it was oging to work, but it never actually wrote anything to disk. The others just entirely killed sound that had previously worked. The Linux sound HOWTO just says (basically) to copy /dev/audio or /dev/dsp, but neither of those do anything useful at all :-( I guess that my embarrassingly simple question isn't really embarrassingly simple at all. Everything else to do with sound seems to work fine (I can play CDs, listen to WAV or MP3 files or grab RealAudio off the Web). So I'm sure it isn't anything silly like a fundamental configuration problem. It may, of course, be a fundamental lack of understanding problem :-) I remember way back in LM 7.0 getting sound to work using sox without any trouble. But things are obviously more complicated these days. artsdsp rec output.wav produces a file with a WAV header, but nothing else.

Re: [expert] Tyan Mobo dual AMD
Hello It was a Geforce 2 by some cheap company, i now have a geforce3 from ELSA that works well, i dont know about adaptec, maybe you should contact them about that..? IDE cdrom booted, but locked up half way thu loading installer, cdr was fine, and new cdrs did not work either, maybe a dma issue. If tyan provided good support i would be able to give you answers instead of guessing. You know who to talk to about that then.. :) Or vote with your money if they do not. JG Alan Wilter Sousa da Silva wrote: Hi, Grant. It was almost exactly what I'd like to hear. The drawbacks. From which you pointed out, I'd like to hear more about item 4, 5 and 6. Like, which 3D-graphic card worked with tyan? Why Adaptec is problematic in Tyan mobo? None IDE cdrom worked? That's really bad. Thank you too Kayaturk. This desired cluster is planned only to do computational calculations, specially in parallel. So we do not need much, however, at least one node has to have any peripheral working well.

No APM support. 3. Poor bios controls, and crazy cpu temp display (that defaults to 75C till you press an arrow key!) 4. Poor AGP support, i had to change gfx cards in Linux. 5. Poor SCSI support, Adaptec card that worked fine on other PC refused to work in this one. 6. IDE CDROMS unable to work (3 tested) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] Japanese input in KDE
Hello! Well, I tried your sugestion and everything for JA* as well UTF-8 does not work with mandrake and kinput (when using en_GB or ja_*), i could not get it to write anything. I set up KDE each time as well. Now i changed it to that i can write in KDE, but that is limited to EUC Mozilla can convert to UTF-8 which i use in emails mainly. Until the next mandrake release, or if someone writes a doc. Idealy Mandrake would have a way to see up different users in different languages, OS X has this, I do not know for windows.

Everything non-binary that doesn't belong elsewhere. What about /usr/local/share for non-binaries?
