[ilugd] Please solve the problem its is needed
Please solve the problem its is needed Dear Gyandev, Configure the bios to boot up from a cd- you need to press del or ctrl while the bios details are coming up. Then insert the red hat or linux cd and choose linux rescue. When you enter into the rescue mode type -chroot /mnt/sysimage then change to the following folder using-cd /boot/grub then type -grub-install /dev/hda This works in RHL9. Should restore the grub to the MBR.

It is possible by writing a small shell script and reading the names of the users from an ascii file. -- seshagiri --- s nagar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi everyone i need to ask you one thing that whether it is possible to create users in bulk rather than creating single user in case there are many users to be created and simultaneously giving them same password as their username. in case you have some solution then please do reply.

[ilugd] thanks to ashwin
dear ashwin, i'd like to thank you for such an excellently organized linux newbie meet. at last, we have linux-newbie meetings as well! hooray! the population of india is more than 1 billion. the total computer users in india is not more than 75 million. so obviously, we have an endless demand to understand computing, and the linux-newbie meet is *the* most important step that we can take to ensure that millions and millions of indians across the subcontinent start their first embrace with computing in the right direction, with the right value systems, understanding the dilemma that the 'market forces' of 'casual' sharing lead to are at catastrophic levels, and that computing is about freedom, not about bondage. hope ashwin, you can document and share 'howto orgainze a linux newbie meet' so the initiatives can be replicated across india, across organizations, as a techno-social-cultural revolution. thanks for the meet, the samosas and chais, the attention to detail, and hope we have a linux newbie meet every month, because every single minute in india, someone somewhere must be wondering about linux and wondering how to step into it, in india. even as you read this. hope those who attended can share the interactions and knowledge in their organizations, with their peers, colleagues, friends. hope a few of you also take the initiative of setting up talks and events and seminars on migrating to gnulinux for the non-techie win user. keep posting these on this mailing list, if these are public events are public or 'open-door' so others may attend as well. :-) LL ps: ashwin, whenever you're done with the reference books, could you please send them back to me. am already missing them in my work. whoever took my dyne:bolic cd, if you've copied it, could you return it back, please. *** ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
[ilugd] Re: [Dglug] Fwd: want to get some about linux
RMS is right... before discussing the GPL we must first get it's philosophy... shouldn't we...? Free software is *not* synonymous with use of the GNU GPL. The GPL is one of many free software licenses. For example, the X11 license and the two BSD licenses are both free software licenses. That's why I suggest reading http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html as preparation for discussing these issues. ___ Dglug mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.asiaosc.org/mailman/listinfo/dglug ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
[ilugd] muft, mukt, money
loads of people have been asking me and others, on the confusing terms of muft and mukt software, and then how can you make money with muft software. so here is a brief clarification, that you can post around under the verbatim license, copyright linuxlingam 2003. will also create a separate document published at linux-delhi's download section, on this which will be far more comprehensive, when i find some time. Q: what is 'mukt' software? Q: what is 'muft' software? Q: how can i make money with mukt AND muft software? Q: What is 'mukt' software? A: 'mukt' is a Hindi word that means 'with freedom.' a software can be stated to be 'mukt' or 'with freedom' if it grants you, the end-users, the following freedoms for using it: 1) you are 'mukt' to use it for any purpose. 2) you are 'mukt' to make unlimited copies, share it, distribute it, and ust give it away to your friends, colleages, and anybody else. 3) you are 'mukt' to study its source code, for WHATEVER reason. 4) you are 'mukt' to even modify the source code, to fix bugs, to enhance it, or anything you wish to do with the original source code. the above is 'mukt' software. a special INSTANCE of 'mukt' software is possible under what is known as COPYLEFT. this further protects the freedoms of software, and places an interesting condition. 5) should you make any changes to source code, AND publish it, you must also allow end-users to exercise the conditions 1) to 5) on the original code as well as your changes. this is to ensure the software and its growth and evolution remains mukt, and not 'hived' off and exploited by someone or some organization unethically. not ALL 'mukt' software is copyleft. for instance, the X11 license [www.x.org] is not copyleft, but it is mukt. there are several more software that are published under 'mukt' end-user conditions and agreements, but which are *not* copyleft. Q: What is 'muft' software? A: 'muft' is a Hindi word that means 'free-of-cost'. all mukt software, by VIRTUE of being 'mukt' become 'muft' as well. for example: the moment condition 2) is applied. Q: How can I make 'money' from 'mukt' AND 'muft' software? A: the underlying philosophy of 'mukt' software is really to address the issue of the artificial economy of non-mukt software. read the more comprehensive document that i will prepare on this and other issues subsequently. meanwhile, go ahead and make money with mukt software. tonnes of it. HP and IBM make billions out of it. here's how: 1) give the mukt software for muft, obviously. but charge a nominal fee for the service and trouble you take of making copies, burning the cd. these days the price for this hovers at about rs 25 per cd. somebody is being rude and doesn't want to pay you even for this, because he/she thinks muft means even aluminium cd platter and your bijli used to burn the cd must be given muft? tell that person to download the cds from the web, preferably on a 9.8K dial-up connection, and burn the cds themselves. 2) charge fees for installing (rs 250 to rs 350) mukt systems on people's PCs. 3) charge fees for service and support. 4) charge fees for developing, modifying, customizing mukt software. 5) charge fees for training, orienting, migrating people. organizations like the Kompany, kompany.org, and even sun, ibm, hp, and others, hire people, pay them, get them to make software, and release the software under a mukt license. so do hollywood special fx companies (cinepaint.org). so get jobs and consulting projects with these companies. bottomline: charge for the calories you burn to create, support, and deploy mukt software. copyright linuxlingam 2003. verbatim copying, sharing, distributing, of this text is allowed in any media, so long as this copyright notice is preserved. ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
