Hebrew on the desktop.

2005-10-17 Thread David Harel

Hi all,

This issue re-accrues over and over again, I fix it (and forget about 
it) and the next time I fiddle with Linux (install Gentoo for example), 
I break it again. So how do I make xterm, konsole, konqueror and many 
other tools to show file names and other kind of information in Hebrew?

Thanks.

Just a rank, but if you do not have luck with non 
automated-do-it-yourself-distro why do you keep using them? get 
Ubuntu/Mandriva/Suse/Fedora of whatever...

How about keeping /home/ on another partition?

Basicaly, what you need to setup is LC_* to be he_IL.
You also need to mount your fvat/ntfs partitions with something similar to 
this:

/dev/hda3   /media/hda3 vfat
user,exec,rw,auto,codepage=862,iocharset=utf8,umask=0 0 0

Don't forget to install Culmus and a package which provides freesans font.

Software Idea Patents - another nudge

2005-10-17 Thread Amos Shapira
I'll send a copy of this in a separate message to hackers-il too.
Would whatsup and/or linmagazine care to post an item about
this too?

-- Forwarded message --
There is a poll to find the European of the Year which is open to
anyone, no matter where they live.  Some of the candidates have worked
to keep software idea patents out of Europe.  If right-minded people
win, it will help raise the No Software Patents profile.  To this
end, nosoftwarepatents.com have set up a page suggesting how you might
vote:

You might like to spread the word to other groups too!

Re: Wireless card (zd1211)

2005-10-17 Thread Amit Aronovitch
If you do use zd1211 - few things to note:

1) Last time I checked, the released tar.gz on sourceforge did not work. Use the cvs version.

2) There's also another development branch on subversion:
 http://zd1211.ath.cx/
 That IS the same project, but the two branches are not fully
merged yet, some patches are cvs only, others svn only
(e.g. - WPA support :-( )

3) The zd1211_ng driver available on sourceforge is supposed to be a
rewrite. It's currently just a skeleton, and currently seems to be
abandoned.
