[2nd post] People who replied to my quest for VB help - please contact

[Amos Shapira]

(I never received a copy of this message, which was sent in the
period reported as "list broken". Apologies if you have already seen
it.)

Hi,

Around September last year I called for help in converting
a Visual Basic program called "Soarcast" to Java. A couple of
people replied to me in private and I sent them the code.

Since then I lost contact of these people and would like to ask
them to contact me back ASAP.

Thanks,

I don't think this matters - as long as your ISO image is not
larger than the CD driver's limit it shouldn't care that the media
can hold more than that.

Have you tried it?

There is no problem with bash omitting \. There is a bigger problem
with arguments with spaces in them.
How do you set `cmdline' from the script arguments ?

Here is an example of small script that call itself with demonstration
of preserving its arguments.


#! /bin/bash -e
# Compile by: /bin/sh -e $* 3 "1=abc" "2=a\b" "3=a\\b" "4=with   3 spaces" 
'5=quote"it' "6=apos'in"
#==

echo -E "(echo -E) Called as $0 $@"# Show with escape chars as is
echo -e "(echo -e) Called as $0 $@"# Show translated escape sequence

CNT=$1 # how many times to call
shift  # ignore the 1st arg

if [ 0$CNT -gt 1 ] ; then  # call next if > 1
NXT=`expr $CNT - 1`
CMDLINE=""
for ARG in "$@"# do for each argument
do # convert space to \x20
CARG=`echo -E "$ARG" | sed -e 's/ /x20/g'`
CMDLINE="$CMDLINE $CARG"   # store in new command call
done
$0 $NXT $CMDLINE   # call once more (with decreased count)
fi
echo " $CNT DONE $*"   # show with arguments

exit 0
## tst.sh ##


And here is the output when called by:  /bin/sh -e tst.sh 3 "1=abc" "2=a\b" \
   "3=a\\b" "4=with   3 spaces" '5=quote"it' "6=apos'in"

(echo -E) Called as tst.sh 3 1=abc 2=a\b 3=a\\b 4=with   3 spaces 5=quote"it 
6=apos'in
(echo -e) Called as tst.sh 3 1=abc 2=a 3=a\b 4=with   3 spaces 5=quote"it 
6=apos'in
(echo -E) Called as ./tst.sh 2 1=abc 2=a\b 3=a\\b 4=with\x20\x20\x203\x20spaces 
5=quote"it 6=apos'in
(echo -e) Called as ./tst.sh 2 1=abc 2=a 3=a\b 4=with   3 spaces 5=quote"it 
6=apos'in
(echo -E) Called as ./tst.sh 1 1=abc 2=a\b 3=a\\b 4=with\x20\x20\x203\x20spaces

Re: How do you upgrade RH without booting from CD?

[Shlomo Dubrowin]

So it turns out that the machine I picked up (200NIS) has a CD ROM
drive that will only read 650MB CDs and the bios on the Motherboard is
too old to recognize newer larger drives.  Is it still possible (I
know it used to be on older distros of RH) to boot off a floppy and
install over something like NFS (off my laptop which can read the
larger CDs).  Also, are there places (in the Jerusalem area) that
still sell the older 650MB CDs?

Re: [OT] nitpicking [was Re: Is open source more secure?]

[Marc A. Volovic]

Well, no. Russians do not use everything for drinks. It has been
empirically proved that some substances - e.g. slag - cannot be
used to make drinks.

Worse, some substances - e.g. slag - cannot be even used for the
after-drink zakuska.

Yet even worse than that, some substances - e.g. slag - are not
even useful for bottling drinks.

The silver lining on the rain cloud, however, is that there are precious
few such substances. Namely, one - slag.

Slainte!

Not exactly.
You wouldn't go into a loop, and if cat is naive, also not get
an error. You'd simply get in $file only the contents of 'end'.
That's because '> $file' is interpreted by the shell, even before
running cat. The shell opens the file and truncates it. cat would
read it, it will be empty, and then go on and read 'end' and cat
it into file.

However, I was not sure cat is naive. So I tried this. On Linux
(2.6, debian sid), Solaris 8 and Irix 6.5. On all three of them,
cat noticed and said something.
Linux (actually, GNU cat):
% cat f1 end > f1
cat: f1: input file is output file
Solaris:
% cat f1 end > f1
cat: input/output files 'f1' identical
Irix:
% cat f1 end > f1
Input/output files 'f1' identical

I was curious to know what exactly cat did. It turns out that it
skipped f1. To know this (without looking at the sources), I simply
did '>> f1' instead of '> f1'. If it did read it, it would double
it (catting itself to the end of it). But it didn't - I simply got
f1 and then end.

Since I already took the time and rudeness to reply, I'll add:
Your solution is mostly correct.
As others said, all of these things aren't safe. If you get used to
doing things both unsafely and without awareness, you'll end up loosing
data. Double check whatever you do. I already wrote my preffered
solution (of course there are many good ones). It's left as a simple
excersize to the reader why I prefer mine over yours.

This same thing happens with RedHat Enterprise 3 Update 4 with the hardware 
described below. With a different IBM server with a different SCSI driver, 
this does not happen - the operating system sees just one disk which is 
really two disks configured as one RAID mirror set.

Fedora Core 4 test3 behaves just like Centos and Redhat Enterprise.

is being run as an Open Source project.

Here are the details:
-

The DIMES project (www.netdimes.org) is expanding..

The DIMES project is an open-source research project based in Tel-Aviv
university which has ventured to map the structure and evolution of the
Internet using distributed agents installed by volunteers all over the world.

It was recently covered by Science magazine:
http://www.netdimes.org/scienceMay05.pdf
and slashdot:
http://science.slashdot.org/science/05/05/15/1715208.shtml

We are looking for a new programmer to join our team, and continue
enhancing our platform.

Our platform is based mainly on Java, MySQL and Tomcat, running on a
linux blade center. In addition we develop a java/C++ based agent
which is used by thousands of users all over the world, with a
current windows port and a linux and OSX port coming in the near future.

We are looking for a programmer with good understanding of server  
technologies and experience with programming network applications.  
Experience with Java and SQL are a big plus.
The work is fulltime and based in Tel-Aviv university's EE-Systems  
dept. (near the university rail-station).
For more details and enquiries, please write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cheers,
Eran Shir
The DIMES project

I just started installing Centos 4 on an IBM machine (described below) with 
two disks defined as an hardware mirror set. I chose the disk druid to 
partition the disks, and instead of seeing one disk which is really the 
hardware RAID mirror set, I see both individual disks. 

Has anyone ever seen this ?
Am I doing something wrong ?

A couple of corrections:
1. On this list, you MUST write in English. It's part of the list's charter.
2. This list used to host at LEAST one participant from Iran and several 
English only speakers. I myself directed someone who asked me about 
local LUGs that can help him that lives in Lebanon. I think that your 
assertion that everyone reads Hebrew is a bit off.

Personally, if someone is going to refer to a single word in Hebrew, I 
would rather them type that word in Hebrew instead of phonetic-typing it 
in English. Whole Hebrew emails, however, are not allowed by the list's 
charter.

Re: Connecting Nokia 6230

[Gal Gur-Arie]

There was a discussion on this issue a few months ago.
Most of the people didn't had a problem with Hebrew mails.
Anyway. Here is my mail in English:
Does anyone have experience of connection Nokia 6230 and transfer files 
to it ?
I know that Gnokii  can do this with the support of 
gnokiifs < http://www.gnokii.org/download/gnokiifs/ > .

I've found the following URL which says that to enable support for dku2 
cable there is a need to install a kernel module called gammu: 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.gammu/2261

I'm not familiar with the Gammu project < 
http://www.mwiacek.com/gsm/soft/gammu.html > and i was wonder if someone 
here - knows about it / tried it before ?

Is it better to use the Bluetooth protocol ?
Thanks in advanced,
Gal

Re: Connecting Nokia 6230

First, I'd suggest you post in English and in plain text.
HTML Hebrew message  encoding tend to screw numbers and links... plus,
not all email clients accept HTML messages.

In general, you can't find the serial DKU-2 in Israel (at least I
couldn't) and the USB-to-serial DKU-5 cable (the one being sold in
Israel) isn't support by Linux (Nokia doesn't share the USB-serial chip
specs).
Bluetooth and IR should work just fine, though I haven't tested them
myself.

There are some combinations of BIOS versions and hard disk sizes, which
cause the BIOS to hang when trying to boot computers with those hard
disks (even if they are not the boot disks).

Or it is the 33GB limit, which I encountered few years ago when I bought
40GB hard disks for my PC (the limit has disappeared from my PC by now,
because the motherboard went out of order and I had to replace it - an
emergency upgrade).

It is not relevant for GRUB, and IIRC, not even for new versions of
LILO.

About limits, as far as I remember, the next BIOS limit is 127GB.  Since
400GB hard disks are now available, what is the status of this limit:
- Do today's BIOS versions suffer from it?
- How do I check if my PC's BIOS suffers from this limit?
- What is the next limit after 127GB?

$179 for workstation, $349 for servers, and my problem is with a server.
