[expert] mplayer and mencoder on 9.0
Has anyone had success with mplayer and mencoder on 9.0? I got a basic mplayer and mencoder compiled, but the functionality is extremely limited ... especially for mencoder. For example, I can not seem to do anything to make the configure script find libmp3lame, which is crucial for doing anything with mp3's in mencoder. I'd appreciate help from anyone with success.

That said, I feel your pain, because the update process is certainly far from perfect. I'm finding the build-from-source distributions pretty tempting these days, and the only thing that keeps me with Mandrake is the ease of installation and package management. Package management inevitably gets uglier as the distribution release gets older, presumably because limited QA resources are pulled off to work on the latest and greatest. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...

[expert] Installed Fonts Access
On 9.0 I used mcc to add Lucida TTF fonts. mcc failed to "add windows fonts", maybe because it didn't know the right directory to look in (winnt)? So, I copied the four Lucida TTF files from the windoze partition to /tmp, and told mcc to install those four. Now mcc finds them (and more than I expected to be able to find). At http://www.codestyle.org/css/font-family/index.shtml, you can select between windoze, Mac & Unix samplers. On the Unix sampler, the Lucida Handwriting sample is missing, and the source fails to display. OpenOffice does find Lucida Handwriting, but Mozilla fails, both in prefs and on my own pages at URL below and, more precisely, at the bottom of http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/font-lucida.html, where you can see columns of yes & no for Linux, OS/2 & windoze. How do I get Linux apps other than OpenOffice (e.g. Mozilla) to find and use all varieties of Lucida fonts? -- "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

Re: [expert] Best Mandrake yet!!!
I just installed it today. First observations: 1) On install, I checked "select individual packages" , but it blew past that, and ran the install, minus a few packages I wanted to install 2) The cdrom mounting in /etc/fstab was "wrong: Neither of my CD roms would mount. I had to change /etc/fstab from: /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,umask=0,exec 0 0 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,umask=0,exec 0 0 to: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,umask=0,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,umask=0,exec 0 0 2) urpmi won't work. It complains that cdrom1 is not selected. 3) Evolution is still missing It's only been up a few minutes... Dunno much else about it yet. Seems ok.. But I need to find a way to install OpenOffice... It did not install originally. I deslected "office workstation" at install time, to save space. Also, I didn't want KOffice & some of the junk.

RE: [expert] packet forwarding solved wget question
Also, the LWP and Tokeparser perl modules could help you download and stip the HTML... its what they were designed for. go to search.cpan.org and look for them. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Benjamin Pflugmann Sent: Saturday, 1 February 2003 3:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] packet forwarding solved wget question Hi.

If so, consider lynx -dump or any other tool (w3m, links, ...) which provides similar functionality. HTH, Benjamin. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Just some more words. privsep is short for privilege seperation and is a mean to reduce security risks, or in other words: an additional layer for an attacker to overcome. The idea is to run as much as possible with lowered privileges. This is accomplished by running two processes. The privileged parent process monitors the progress of the unprivileged child process. The child is the only process that processes network data. The privileged parent needs few code and therefore there is much less code being executed with privileges. A well defined interface between privileged parent and unprivileged child allows the child to delegate operations that require privileges to the parent. Successful authentication is determined by the parent process.
