I can sympathize with that one. I once installed Shadow Seating on a running
airplane and all the other passengers disappeared, plus the pilot turned into a
giant turnip. I got the pilot back by landing the plane myself, booting into a
single user flight and running punconv ("pilot un-convert" I think). I never
could make the passengers come back though. Very sad, very sad.

Re: [expert] [OT] but , just had to share it
oh that not so bad. I was on an upgrade flight where the wings were of
different designs but different companies,
this cause the plan to fly an a 30 defer and angle. When we landed we were
105 miles form our designation and had
a choice of taking the Mac airlines,back where you go hot towels, cut they
are all the same color and are two short to cover
your private areas or we could stay and work on the WINE project for no pay,
but first dibs on new release.

Where can I find the seat-HOWTO.html can't find it anywhere and need to go somewhere.

They all go out on the runway and put the plane together piece by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are supposed to be building. Air DOS Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and let the plane coast untill it hits the ground again. They the push again, jump on again, and so on... Mac Airlines All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look and act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details, you are gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, don't want to know, and everything will be done for you without your ever haveing to know, so just shut up. Windows Air The terminal is pretty and colorful, with friendly stewards, easy baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10 minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no waring whatsoever. WindowsNT Air Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it explodes. Linux Air Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways themselve. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself. When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plan leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is "You had to do what with the seat?"

Jeanette Well, you can try the ADP (Airlines Documentation Project), but that HOWTO is out of date and only covers SeatFSv2; SeatFSv3 isn't really documented anywhere yet, as it was only released with the 0.9.4 version of air-tools. The "seat" man page is pretty good, but the "Flotation_Devices_FAQ" has a surprising amount of decent information. One HOWTO you should definitely look into is the PIS-HOWTO (PIS; Plane Information Services); it allows you to have the same seat on every plane, and when used with SeatFS, you can even have the seat preadjusted for you, and you always get the same spot in the plane. I've had problems getting PIS to work with Shadow Seating, but others tell me they've had no problems at all. Maybe it's an SME (Symmetric Multi Engine) problem. Oh yeah, try Sambair; it let's you use your Linux or UNIX seats on a Windows or NT plane, and when they crash, you don't die. Plus, oddly enough, you always get where you're going faster. -- Lee Burnside -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.phys.ttu.edu/~tljlb/ "Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage." --The Bard
