Bank Hapoalim
I just got off the phone, talking with Bank Hapoalim support. I got a very clear message - "We do not support Linux. We support only Windows XP and Vista.." Just to make sure I asked, so you support Firefox & explorer, but only on Microsoft operating systems? The answer was a solid yes. Is anyone accessing Hapoalim from Linux? When I try, I get logged out due to "inactivity" every 10 seconds. Is dictating the vendor of the OS I need to use in order to access internet services even legal?

Re: Clalit members: please contact Clalit and demand non_IE support!
Bugging the poor support person is useless, if anything you should figure out who is responsible for the klalit computer systems and talk to him/her. Also since less than 1% of people use linux in Israel you might try something a bit more convincing. Such as giving the more popular osx or browsing from cell phone as examples. You can also mention the growing popularity of firefox and chrome.

Re: Bank Hapoalim
I am actually using Bank Hapoalim with Linux without any real problems. The biggest problem is that some text is reversed sometimes (very old issue), which can be solved easily by changing page encoding. When I asked them about Linux support they said they are supporting both Windows and Mac, and that the reverse problem occurs only on Linux which is unsupported. I tried few times to simulate the reversing problem on Windows and tried to fix it on Linux by changing the User Agent string, no luck so far. I've recently written about that. If you can help - you're welcome. http://tomercohen.com/2009/06/06/?p=597 2009/7/8 Dan Bar Dov > I just got off the phone, talking with Bank Hapoalim support. > > I got a very clear message - "We do not support Linux.

Re: SOLVED Why initramfs stops although root device is mountable and ready to use
Shachar Shemesh wrote: Ilya A. Volynets-Evenbakh wrote: I think it's the other way around - if you exit from your linuxrc when running from initramfs, it'll continue on with standard boot sequence, while ending linuxrc in initrd will panic the kernel with "Trying to kill PID 1" error. An initramfs exists for any 2.6 kernel. Sometimes it's just a very small one. The way the kernel decides whether to execute it is to check for a */init* file in it. If it finds one, it runs it. If not, it does not. As such, if you have a /linuxrc file in your initramfs, and it simply exists at the end, all that will happen is that the kernel will not find a /init and will skip running anything from the initramfs at all. In that sense you might be said to be right that if your linuxrc exists, the normal boot sequence will continue. The history goes something like this: Originally, the drivers for the root file system had to be compiled into the kernel. This was very difficult, if not impossible, for distribution kernels, as the list of potential drivers included, well, everything, and the kernels were just too big. Then the idea of initrd came - we compile the drivers only for the ram disk and the initrd file system (typically, cramfs) into the kernel. The initrd loads the relevant drivers into the kernel and quits, restoring the original boot sequence. Then someone pointed out that, sometimes, an initrd is all you need. The convention then arose to pass "boot=/dev/ram0" to the kernel, which tells it that the initrd stage is the last one. It then became common to put the real "boot=" option on the kernel command line, but then, from initrd, to load the values for "/dev/ram0" into the proc entry for the boot device from linuxrc, manually mount the real root file system, make it the root file system using pivot_root, and exec init from there. Then, for 2.6, people figured that if this is what you normally do anyways, there is no point in carrying around the drivers for the ram disk and cramfs (compiled into the kernel, which means it cannot be unloaded). Instead, use the much lighter tmpfs file system, and use a cpio archive for the actual files. The tmpfs file system was made mandatory, whether initramfs was used or not, and so you couldn't move it from the root (only mount on top of it). This means you cannot use pivot_root, and switch_root was invented. While at it, the "legacy" boot sequence was removed. Assuming, as Gilad seems to, that we leave initrd is out of the discussion, your options are either run an initramfs and perform the entire root mounting from the /init script there, or compile the root file system drivers into the kernel and let the kernel mount them using the boot= kernel option.

Well, Crossover 8, MS Word viewer 2003 (click it, it will download and install it for you).

Re: Reading RTF files
OK - Hetz - if I have to buy a product to make Linux work like Windows I am better off using a free MS product on Windows XP - right?

Re: Reading RTF files
Hetz It's not just the economic illogic of buying Cross Over 8 to support a free Microsoft product - which is an amazing idea in it's own right. I personally think it's pathetic to have to install an emulator to read an RTF file which is about as simple as it gets. my 2c dL On Thu, Jul 9, 2009 at 1:43 AM, Hetz Ben Hamo wrote: > Well, Crossover 8, MS Word viewer 2003 (click it, it will download and > install it for you). > > Here's a screenshot with an RTF file opened.. > http://www.flickr.com/photos/93198...@n00/3702673730/sizes/o/ > > Thanks, > Hetz > > On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 11:36 PM, Dotan Cohen wrote: > >> You can always use wine and install MS Word viewer, I think it > >> supports hebrew and opens RTF files without any problem. > >> If you have CrossOver, it's just a click to select it, then it will > >> auto download and install it for you. > >> > > > > If you do this let us know how it turns out.
