Dear Gurpreet,
Thanks for the offer. Can you get me some figures  as to how many will
attend from SSI? Names, phone-numbers, email ids would make it perfect

 Dear Ashwin,

 That's sounds good... On this auspicious occasion, (With your
 permission) I take the ownership to distribute such a message among
the
 students of almost all the SSI institutes in Delhi. But kindly confirm
 the entire program to me. I have decided to take active part in all
the
 meets in future.

 Dear Puneet,

 that's cool! looks very exciting. wish i can be there too.

 my two cents :)

 Thanks for your enthusiasm. We need support from enthu people like
you.
 So I
 welcome you to the volunteer committee for the Dec meet and hope to
see
 you
 contribute. Since I do not have time (I'm a chief administrator of a
 govt
 college ((all students of late 50s age))) may I request you to kindly
 compose and put up notices in two Colleges having IT DEptts/computer
 courses? This is to be done after I send Raju final programme,
sometime
 after Dec 01. Do let me know where you are putting up the notices.

 and more advertisement about linux-delhi.  and in case we are getting
 overcrouded we can put some small enterence fees, just to cover up
 expenses

 Regretfully, I am vetoing your suggestion for entrance fees. I'm of
the
 opinion that it would act like a barrier. A better model is the
present
 one
 ie to request those who earn to shell out Rs 50/- or Rs 100/- as per
 your
 ichha; students may dish out less or need not dish out if they are
hard
 up.
 In this way we pay for our eats/drinks. Newbies buy their CDs at Rs
30/-
 or
 so.

 and to keep the  freebies(i mean ppl who are not serious enough)
 out
 . There is nothing which is free in the world.

 I welcome people to a Newbies meet. If they come, they may become
 serious.
 Thanks for your involvement :-)

 To increase the presence we can advertise this event at some colleges
 and
 Computer institutes like NIIT and some companies. those are the
places
 where
 we will be getting most of the newbies and ppl who are just willing
to
 know
 more about Linux. I am sure our current members can do this kind of
 advertisement at their place either by word of mouth or mailing to
 companies

 meets
 
 I am already smelling a fabulous and quality presence there :).

Re: [ilugd] The December Meet

2003-11-24 Thread Mithun Bhattacharya
I migrated a server from somewhere in Virginia on a RAID setup to a
desktop in Atlanta without RAID over the internet. I obviously wasnt
present in either of the places.

All one has to be careful of are the following :
1.Confirm all the hardware are supported by the OS.
2. Make sure RAID disks are configured properly.
3. If RAID doesnt exist in the destination - make sure /etc/raidtab is
renamed.
4. Update /etc/fstab to point everything in the right partitions.
5. Update /etc/lilo.conf or /etc/grub.conf to point the bootloader at
the right direction.
6. Create a new /boot/initrd if the hard disk/filesystem is different. 
7. Update MBR if you are using lilo.
8. Update /etc/modules.conf for any settings that is required in the
destination.

I think that covers all the critical areas - ofcourse X might require
reconfiguration etc.. but your OS will definitely boot by now.

 Right. One just has to ensure that kernel can be found by the loader
 and 
 that the fstab is correct. Thus (in simplified terms) if you install 
 with the hard disk as /dev/hda (primary master) and then attach that 
 hard disk to another PC as primary master. Things should work and you
 
 can have an opportunity to load the changed device driver modules, or
 
 something like kudzu can do it for you.

[ilugd] The December Meet

2003-11-20 Thread Ashwin Baindur
Dear all,

We hope to make a small beginning in the right direction with regards to the 
theme-based ILUGD meets. The next meet on 21 Dec 03 Sunday (timings later) 
at :-
B6, Raksha Bhawan, Man Singh Rd (opposite Indira Kala Kendra) (between 
Rajpath and Andhra Pradesh Bhawan.

The theme is - Helping GNUbies.

The following are planned :-
* An introductory talk on the Linux Movement.
* To show Linux on a machine and how the utilities can be easily used :- 
Openoffice.org, xmms,mozilla, evolution, A game.
* To show a simple install of a Linux Distribution.
* To show them some books, resources available so that they are aware.
* Showcase some of the steps of LL's Formula For Freedom based Samadhi or 
should it be Nirvana?
* To keep a few Knoppix etc CDS available for sale.
* To allow them to meet some of 'the Gang', who can answer some questions.

How all of you can help!
* With ideas. We crystallise by say 01Dec and execute after that.
* With participation - Though I'm a Linux enthusiast, I live in the Windows 
world of Government - I'm not a day to day user of Linux - though I hope to 
be in my next posting/appointment. I need help with each aspect of the 
above.
* With help - Volunteers required please who can showcase the install, the 
use of the Seven Steps to Samadhi programmes, speak on Newbie topics.
* With resources - For example, I'd appreciate if you can bring some Linux 
books, CDs or something to the meet to show/inspire/educate the Newbie.
* By passing the word to Newbies about this Golden Opprtunity - if we can 
get even say a dozen newbies of whom say even three-four get hooked - we'd

:)) i wish i could do that alas :). at present bande ka thikana
bangalore mein hai. so physical presence is not possible as of now but am
always ready to contribute in other ways.
  take any theme like
  embedded linux or linux in web domain blah blah... and invite ppl 
to
  deliever talk on any topic covering that theme. i am sure lot of ppl
will
  come out of their shells. atleast ppl with similar interest would like
to
  know what is there or what more can be done.
 This time the theme of the Dec. 21st ILUGD Meet is
 7 Steps to the Software Samadhi by LinuxLingam

i happened to see this kind of theme based meets in bangaloere. quite
impressed by the presence there. wish i can see something like that
happening in delhi also. i happened to attaend some meets based on Linux
and WLAN, embedded Linux, Indian Languages on Linux etc. believe me 
the
presence was 100 in some of the successfull meets. and i believe there
shudn't be any problem in taking some good ideas from somewhere else. may 
be
we can come out with something little better and spend quality time during
meets.

world of Government - I'm not a day to day user of Linux - though I hope to 
be in my next posting/appointment. I need help with each aspect of the 
above.
* With help - Volunteers required please who can showcase the install, the 
use of the Seven Steps to Samadhi programmes, speak on Newbie topics.
* With resources - For example, I'd appreciate if you can bring some Linux 
books, CDs or something to the meet to show/inspire/educate the Newbie.
* By passing the word to Newbies about this Golden Opprtunity - if we can 
get even say a dozen newbies of whom say even three-four get hooked - we'd 
have achieved success. Anything more than that would be good success, great 
success or extraordinary success (depending on how many come .AND. become 
Linux-lovers).

I'd be able to do a little bit of each of the things I've asked help for - 
but the success of an ILUGD Meet depends on - how many ILUGDites actually 
come, and as importantly, how many get 'involved' in organising the meet.

Now, dear ILUGDites - the cat is out of the bag. Let's put our words into 
action and move forward to make the Meet a success.

PS - I promise to deliver on the Jungle Juice ;-) .
Regards, Ashwin

  why don't Linux-delhi decide on some theme for meetings.
 why don't is a tricky business at Linux Delhi.
 We can already hear you volunteering for the same ;-)
:)) i wish i could do that alas :). at present bande ka thikana
bangalore mein hai. so physical presence is not possible as of now but am
always ready to contribute in other ways.
  take any theme like
  embedded linux or linux in web domain blah blah... and invite ppl 
to
  deliever talk on any topic covering that theme. i am sure lot of ppl
will
  come out of their shells. atleast ppl with similar interest would 
like
to
  know what is there or what more can be done.
 This time the theme of the Dec. 21st ILUGD Meet is
 7 Steps to the Software Samadhi by LinuxLingam

i happened to see this kind of theme based meets in bangaloere. quite
impressed by the presence there. wish i can see something like that
happening in delhi also. i happened to attaend some meets based on Linux
and WLAN, embedded Linux, Indian Languages on Linux etc. believe me 
the
presence was 100 in some of the successfull meets. and i believe there
shudn't be any problem in taking some good ideas from somewhere else. may 
be
we can come out with something little better and spend quality time during
meets.

regards,
Puneet
