If you want a text representation of the page, the lynx -dump should do what you want. If you want graphics representation, then as far as I know there are no such tools, but links-2 has graphics mode with a modular output drivers architecture, so I guess that adding a graphics -dump mode should be easy. -- Matan Ziv-Av.

Re: HTML to jpg/gif in Linux
For some reason I fail to use netscape -remote, but if it wasn't deprecated you could: netscape& netscape -remote "openURL(http://your.url)" netscape -remote "SaveAs(site.ps, PostScript)" gs -sDEVICE=jpeg -dBATCH -sOutputFile=site.jpg site.ps I know people are doing similar things on top of a framebuffer X server, so everything can be done safely from a script. Disclaimer: never tried it myself. Dan. P.S. My guess is that such thing would be incredibly simple to do with Microsoft Internet Explorer, with its elaborate COM interface, but I believe this is the wrong list to mention this.

Re: HTML to jpg/gif in Linux
Html2ps (http://www.tdb.uu.se/~jan/html2ps-1.0b3) will convert html2ps, together with graphics, and gs (ghostscript) will convert ps to ppm (using -sDEVICE=ppmraw; see man ppm(5) about the "portable pixmap file format"), ppmtogif or ppmtojpeg will convert ppm to gif or jpeg, resp. (in RedHat 7.3, the latter programs are in the netpbm-progs-9.24-3 package). Using this approach you can control much better the quality of your images, and you can automate it by writing shell scripts to do it.

OT: X screen saver and mouse
Hi everyone, Sorry for being off-topic. I want the X screen saver to not respond to mouse events (in other words, to make the monitor stay off when I accidentally hit the table :-) ) I couldn't find any documented way to do that. I looked a bit at the source, and I think the main point to look at is in the function ProcessPointerEvent in xc/programs/Xserver/dix/events.c, maybe adding some condition before calling NoticeTime. Am I far off? Is there a way to do that without changing source? I don't mind to do it not in the server, e.g. it might be possible that xlock (or xscreensaver or such) will force the monitor off and wait only to keyboard events before forcing on, without using the server's stuff for screen saver.

ideal format to put movies up on the web
Hi, I have made a movie of a lecture I delivered last week, and would like to put it up on the web. What is the best format for downloadable media? For streaming media? What software do I need to create the movie? To stream it? The movie is presently on a digital video camera that has a firewire port. My prefered limitations is that it all be linux software, and if possible GPLed. However, most important is that the format must be readable to all those Windows users, preferably without downloading additional plugins, although I will consider options requiring downloading plugins. I expect potential users to have a basic Realplayer, Windows media player, Quicktime and Flash plugins.

compiling KDE packages
Anybody has experience compiling kde packages? koffice? I want to compile koffice 1.2 beta, but wonder about rpm spec files. Do the official kde packages come with rpm spec files, if so, where are they in the source tree, if not, how do I easily generate them? (hint: I don't feel like becoming an rpm expert just because I want to compile koffice once).

Re: KDE 3.0.2 RPM packages
There is another beta planned for near future so I think it would take a bit before 8.0 (I think this beta would be for 7.4). mdk 9 would probebly be out as well in a while, finally something that integrate both gnome 2.0 and kde 3.0.3 togther with gcc 3.1. Shay you can be happy now you'll have someone compiling mozilla with gcc 3.1 and making all the dirty patchs for you;) I wonder if they would get the same result as you did making it load *3 times as fast..

So is 7.4 coming out really soon, or no earlier than September? BTW, I do think that the next release or RH will be 8.0, because the beta is based on gcc 3.1 which is a major architectural change, and thus deserves a major version of its own.

Well, one thing I discovered was that this warning did not only inhabit itself in Apache/SSL but also in normal Apache.

Although any news item was published immediately, by reading the weekly edition you could get an excellent overview of what happened in the last week, in about 20 minutes, once a week (Thursday's morning). The weekly edition was also divided to sections, so you could skip sections that didn't interest you, and focused only on things that are important for you.

About 2 years ago, Tucows (then under the control of Benny Steinmatz, Yossi Vardi, etc.) acquisited LWN.
