Thanks, but since tuxology choose to store the slides
in scribd, i encountered some... hurdles:

 1. All content handling is based on flash. Many of my
hosts don't have flash installed. Even simple wget
is banned that way.

 2. After searching the page, I found a "direct" link
(albeit with a horribly encoded url), only to be
redirected to a login screen.
Should our community content be held hostage behind some
company login requirements?

 3. The last too items also mean we cannot practically
link directly to these presentations. As a result their
chance to be indexed and found by search engines
are nil (yes, I know scribd front pages with the
document titles are indexed -- so what? what about the full text?)
This unnecessarily lowers the long term value of this content.

Can't we afford hosting our own community presentations?

OK, let's get practical:
 * If Herzelinux/tuxology is missing some storage/hosting options,
   I suggest giving them some space on one of our community servers.

 * Nothing fancy is called for -- even a single directory on Hamakor
   server for all their stuff, accessible via http/ftp is better then
   the current, shamefull situation.
 * Shachar, Gilad, can something as minimal as this be coordinated?
   What do you say?

TIA, I'm anxious to read Rami's updated slides...

Anyone succeeded in setting up anonymous IPv6 connectivity in Debian Etch?

2008-11-07 Thread Omer Zak
After installation of the tspc package (version 2.1.1-6), the tspc
daemon can be started and when started, it sets up the sit1 interface
(which can be viewed by /sbin/ifconfig) and ping6 to the assigned IPv6
address works.

Since I am reluctant to register for a channel broker, I use the
anonymous login to anon.freenet6.net.

The problem is that even after setting up the tunnel, attempts to ping6
IPv6 hosts (such as ipv6.google.com or www.ipv6.uni-muenster.de) yield
no response.

Is there anything I should do besides starting the aforementioned
daemon?
According to http://www.howtoforge.com/using-ipv6-on-debian-etch, I
should set up also sit0 interface.  What are the roles of sit0 and sit1,
and why are both necessary?  Is there anything I should do to get tspc
to set up also sit0?

I agree with this criticism, but it gets better. First of all, I found that 
activating the Scribd Flash applet on swfdec (= an open-source Flash 
replacement) causes Firefox to crash. Furthermore, after I had registered on 
Scribd to get a different document I needed, I found that Firefox lost the 
password I entered. Now, changing the password requires the old password, 
which I didn't know. So I looked for a password reset form, but couldn't find 
one.

Eventually, I did, but no matter how many times I submitted my 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] email address, I didn't get a password reset email. This 
is depsite the fact that the same address received several "Welcome to 
Scribd" emails.

So now I am logged-in to Scribd, but do not know my password.

I don't think hosting is a problem, and I have some hosting to offer as well. 
I think Scribd hosting was chosen for convenience or Web 2.0-ism. But it 
inconveniences all the users who want to access the slides.

Hello everyone

I am looking for a livecd of any distro which has built in or as module ntfs

Why would you need it in the kernel? As opposed to in the initrd?

Hi,

Knoppix have the driver built in. Had the chance to test it last week. (It
even was with an older version, because I could only use a CD and not DVD)

I want to boot a livecd, and use dd to create image of asus eee 901 which
has 2 partitions of ntfs (in total 12gb).
