Re: [ilugd] SCO wants licensing fees from corporate Linux users

2003-07-31 Thread puneet goel
  where is the proof that SCO's close sourse didn't 
came from open source Linux code.
 
 There isn't.  So?  Are you saying that it came from
 Linux?  Or just
 bad-mouthing SCO?

I dare not. No bad mouthing. Just a thought. But don’t
u think it may be a possibility. Infact ‘Facts comes
out of possible guesses’.

And I m not the alone shouting see what LL and raj
mailed today
http://www.zdnet.com.au/newstech/enterprise/story/0,248640,20276662,00.htm

  to me SCO seems to be a frontend of Redmond and if
 it  is not so ,atleast soemway inspired from Redmond.
 
 Assume they are.  So?  The case still stays valid,
 doesn't it?
 

Yes sir! absolutely right. Even if it is
‘intentionally’ or ‘unintentionally’ fabricated “Case
is still valid” and that’s why still they have right
to act like that and other ppl hasn’t come out in
defense. But Won’t u defend if someone attacking ur
den. U go by history! Find how Redmond had become so
big. They kill their competitors ruthlessly either by
hook or crook. Although they acted late but they have
started against Linux (wait! SCO is just start, u will
see more coming to your horror). 

Ah! Survival of the fittest.

  regarding possibilities of SCO's actions towards 
  the companies that use Linux, They just want to 
  put salt on Linux wounds as their case againt IBM
  is heading nowhere.
 
 It is.  This is the 3rd time this week that I have
 heard this.  What
 do you mena not going anywhere?  Both sides waived
 their rights to
 an expidited trial, and as per the calendar, the
 oral arguements will
 begin in early 2005.

In todays world 1 1/5 year is a big time, a very big
time.  Nobody knows where things will be heading by
2005. it may be possible that by that time Redmond
looses all it’s server/partial Desktop market to Linux
(what is use of creating all this fuss then). 

U know SCO was also selling Linux (open source).   So
what u say on this point. Boss! SCO was also selling
open source Linux. When they r selling it by
themselves do they have right to object now. Ponder on
it. Indirectly they may have contributed by themselves
(it is also just a possibility; as I said facts comes
out of possibilities)
 
  so the only way for them is to go behind user 
rather, if user is in trouble then 
  ofcourse service provider is in trouble. 

Quote from an article on Zdnet “SCO appears to have
forgotten that some of the biggest Linux users are the
Linux vendors and supporters themselves... there are
plenty of Linux supporters and users who have deep
enough pockets to challenge its copyright infringement
claims: Oracle, Dell, HP and IBM, I am sure u must be
keeping an eye on last 2-3 days developments “IBM
backlashed” (more will come little later, this is just
trailer u r yet to see whole movie” 

  as gartner said best approach for companies during
this time of crises would be wait   and watch rather
than rushing to SCO, just a bit of delaying Linux
implementationswill do better things or better
no need to slow down things.
 
 Sorry, which one is better?  Delaying Linux, or not
 slowing down?
 

In my opinion it all depends on what u want to do with
Linux.  Read this
http://news.com.com/2009-1122-1010047.html


  SCO is just acting like a 'Goonda' attempting to
  extort funds from the Linux users without proving
 its
  claims in ways that allow users to respond.
 
 Wait a minute.  They went to court and alleged
 things about IBM, thus
 giving IBM a forum to respond.  You bad mouth them
 on a list, without
 CC:ing them.  And you call _them_ a goonda

ok! Who is a goonda! SCO is asking customers to pay
money based on pure unsubstantiated threats, without
offering any facts. That is why I said goonda. I am
not guilty, I have not done anything wrong but still
somebody is threatening me without proving allegation,
then I m bound to call that person “goonda” “bullying
me” or x,y,z ….
And don’t forget to read this
http://www.zdnet.com.au/newstech/enterprise/story/0,248640,20276629,00.htm

  Getting in agreement with SCO just because of 
allegations rather than facts would be most stupid
thing.
 
 Sorry, cannot resist quoting Dave Barry. That is
 not the most stupid
 thing to do.  I can think of thousands of things
 more stupid.

Ok! Pay them. After all it’s ur money. Who cares if u
want to through it in dustbin too. J
But before any action read this 
http://www.computerworld.com/softwaretopics/os/linux/story/0,10801,83477,00.html

 
  what FSF or somebody like that can do at the
 moment is
  SUE SCO Over adopting unethical practicies,
 either
  show us trouble code immediately or pay to FSF.
 
 Why not you?  Heck, I will put my money where my
 mouth is, and spring
 up cash to your legal fund.  You get to keep all the
 money SCO pays
 you after you win the case over adopting unethical
 practices.

Where is money ;) first gimme that then I will see
whether to sue SCO or not ;)

 heard.  As Voltaire said, I will oppose what you
 say, but I willd
 defend your right to say it.

Re: [ilugd] A question on grub

2003-07-31 Thread Sohel Shaheen Mallik
Dear Mr. Ghosh,
  
DOS/Windows OS can usually be booted from the first hard disk only.
However, if you want to boot Windows from a hard disk other than the
first, you can simply change the hard disk's BIOS number to make Windows
believe it resides on the first hard disk. This can be achieved in the
Grub configuration with the comand map. 
To do this, open the file /boot/grub/menu.lst with an editor of your
choice and edit or append the following section: 

title windows
   root (hd1,0)
   makeactive
   chainloader +1
   map (hd0) (hd1)

   map (hd1) (hd0)

Save the file menu.lst. Could be a help. Check it out !!

RE: [ilugd] Rescuing linux partition from a lilo overwrite

2003-07-31 Thread Robins Tharakan
just trying to be a bit more -V on these points here...

 Try this.
 1. boot into rescue mode using Installation CDs.
!
 2. mount the root and boot partition of your linux installation on
 /mnt/sysconfig or something else
for e.g. i take for granted that you have only one root partition which
contains the boot directory.
then probably the installation automatically detected it and mounted it
in /mnt/sysconfig...(it does in rh8 atleast) even if it doesnt, it would
give you a shell, where you can do a 
mkdir /mnt/linux
mount /dev/hdx /mnt/linux
chroot /mnt/linux
 3. chroot to that partition and configure lilo, exit from the shell and
 reboot ..
this brings you to a shell prompt with /mnt/linux as the root directory.
here goto /etc/lilo.conf... make the changes if reqd.
and run lilo...
now exit, or simply the famous win-trio keys would work...

affly

Re: [ilugd] (no subject)

2003-07-31 Thread Robins Tharakan
hi,

frankly your question is too vague...
quite like: i wish to fly... what should i take a glider or the
concorde...?

(although the comparisons are not corresponding to the ones you
stated..) 
i'd rather say that you are asking the wrong question.
(traditional) unix systems are generally(!) for a server end... eg.
Solaris, Sco-unix... etc..
linux on the other hand is a variant of unix... but (also) tilted
towards the desktop side...

in short: if you wish to do learning, on the home front, i'd rather say
you need not think,and go straight for linux, especially if your
background in such systems is minimal...

for cds you could contact people on the list itself.. 
that has lots of docs to read. (after installation that is..)
or visit innumerable sites on the net e.g. www.tldp.org ,
www.linuxnewbie.org etc...

but again, your question is bit too vague for anyone to answer..
and generally (and this goes for most of the new learners) its adviced
that in a list like this (or any other such list) newbies are more than
welcome, but a little effort on their side is very very appreciated...

well: if you ask whether to take Air-India or Sahara from delhi to
timbuktu, i think you'd get a lot more answers..!! 
in english what that means is that a simple unix vs linux or a simple
linux learn introduction on google helps quite a bit... atleast in the
initial decision making...

:-)

happy learning.
keep smiling

Since you yourself are pretty unsure about Unix/Linux
and what you want to do with it( you mentioned
certificates), I would suggest you pick up a Linux
book from any book store ( a casual browsing should
tell you whether the book suits your requirement).
Such books normally come with some Linux distributions
on CD(s) and will be available under Rs. 500/-.

in version 1.2.2-1woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem will be fixed soon.
Refer to Debian bug #203707.

We recommend that you update your atari800 package.

Upgrade Instructions
