Re: [expert] YaBQ: Yet nother burning question
One of the reasons for MD5 values is to make sure the transfer of data or iso is successful. Did you check the MD5 values on the 98 box? Also Nero has a prob- lem burning "track-at-once" so select "disc-at-once". Use name brand CDRs not geneic no name stuff. And the last thing I can of is if your recorder doesn't support "Burnproof" slow down the burn rate then try making an iso off the burned CD it should be the same as the original.

Re: [expert] upper to lower case in directory?
Try making the changes below and if that helps.
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<@ARGV>)
{
$x = $_;
tr/A-Z/a-z/;
system("mv","$x","$_");
}

[expert] SuSE 7.3 Personal
Well I found out why I had to buy Suse 7.3 instead of downloading trying out first before I buy that's because it's no good. During installation it locked numerous times; had to finish the install in safe mode just so I could get to the desktop, it can't detect monitors and is very buggy once up and running. No more Suse for me. Redmond (Lycoris) and Redhat are close seconds so I don't buy. Mandrake is what I keep buying each and every time a PowerPack comes outs.

RE: [expert] low-level format
Most hard drive manufactures provide a utilities disk downloadable for free; on the drive is a program which will zero the drive which is the state it was when new. Low level formatting a IDE drive is very risky not cut and dry like SCSI, chances are a low level would ruin it for sure. If writing zeros (erasing) the drive doesn't fix its issues it probably is time to deep six it.
