Scott,

Should I schedule a time to go to the store and work on the laptop(s)? 
I can use my license of PartitionMagic to resize the existing Windows

Tuesday be possible?

We should also get the ball rolling with the Pricebusters point-of-sale
terminal conversion from Win98 to Linux again.  Is the RD setup in the

that?

[luau] Linksys and Red Hat (Not)

2002-08-12 Thread W. Wayne Liauh
I installed Red Hat (both 7.3 and Limbo) in one of my machines with a 
Linksys LNE100TX card.  This is the only distro that couldn't recognize 
my Linksys card.  (Based on the difference b/t 7.3 and Limbo, it is 
apparent that Red Hat is trying to expand into the desktop territory. 
But, all things considered, I am more convinced that I need to upgrade 
my Mandrake club membership level; we definitely can't let Mandrake die.)

You have identified a bug probably with a new revision of the LNE100TX. 
Can you find the card revision version?  The Linksys web page has
several pictures to help you identify the version by reading the chips
onboard.

http://www.linksys.com/download/driver.asp?dlid=2osid=6

Is this a brand new retail card?  If so, may I borrow the card or I will
buy one in order to test it myself and be sure it works in Limbo beta. 
Please let me know where you bought it, and the revision version #.

After I figure out this card, I'll build you custom RPM's with kernel
drivers that should work in Red Hat 7.3.

Probably the easiest way would be to export the data to Microsoft SQL
syntax, then do some manual regex conversion of that text to get it into
PostgreSQL or MySQL syntax.  Ryan Shrout, owner of AMDMB needed to do
just this a while ago when he converted from Windows 2000, IIS web
server, MSSQL and ColdFusion to LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), so I
know this is very possible. 
A few months ago I remember seeing an option in Microsoft SQL 2000's
Enterprise Manager that will easily import or export this type of data
between Access and MSSQL Server.  I haven't used MSSQL for a few months
now, so I don't remember what this tool is called.

You could either use the Microsoft SQL 2000 120-day demo in order to
help convert the data, or perhaps Access 2000 has its own export to
SQL option.  There may also be Open Source tools that can input Access
databases.  I will search around.

Definitely.  There are many local people that can do this well.  I

but contact me directly and I'll have some recommendations for people
who could possibly do the job within a day or two.

Re: [luau] Access2000 Linux import

2002-08-12 Thread Don Brown
Probably the easiest way would be to register the access database as an
odbc datasource.  You can then either use the web scripting language of
your choice to make a web front end, or use the scripting language of your
choice to pull out the data and stuff it into a mysql db or something of
that nature.  Of course, you always could simply export all the data into
csv or tab-delimited files and import.

Yes, there are many ways.  You could transfer it through ODBC, or export

[luau] Nic cards and Red Hat

Hi Warren,

I found the problem with the cards in the RedHat 7.3 we were working on.
I found three clashing IRQ's listed in the cmos of the motherboard. I
changed the 3 and the nic card came up fine.  

I couldn't get the video card to work unless I put in an AGP card until
I fixed this cmos problem. I don't know what caused the cmos to have the
settings that way, but they appeared to be the default. 

If you take my card that you have to Price Busters I'll pick it up from
there.

[luau] Linksys and Red Hat (Not)

2002-08-12 Thread W. Wayne Liauh

Is this a brand new retail card?  If so, may I borrow the card or I will
buy one in order to test it myself and be sure it works in Limbo beta. 
Please let me know where you bought it, and the revision version #.


After I figure out this card, I'll build you custom RPM's with kernel
drivers that should work in Red Hat 7.3.

Thanks Warren.  All what I need to know is, which of the NIC cards
supported by Red Hat also uses tulip chipset?  As I am sure you're aware,
it's the chipset that matters.

Actually, same NIC cards, even with the same model number, may use
different chipsets, or different versions of the same chipset, I have
purchased a whole bunch of Linksys cards of exactly the same batch, and
have been using them for ages.  Corel 1.0 and Red Hat 7.3/Limbo are the
only distros that I have had problems with those cards.

Tulip, which was initially developed by NASA, is an open-source project.
As such, it is incumbent upon the due diligence of each distro to make sure
that it can properly detect the various modifications thereof.








[luau] Sound on web- Was political sites

2002-08-12 Thread aeg-inc
Has anyone ever found that sounds actually made a website better?

Web pages can/should be developed to facilitate sound for disabled 
viewers.  For example making sure there's alternate text tags for 
graphic buttons, so that text to speech readers can tell someone what 
the button text is.

The short answer is, only sound with a purpose.  Ease of listening for 
blind readers.  Proper pronunciation for language learners. But rarely 
is sound on a website useful _unless requested by the user_.  The real 
question is, Why haven't web designers learned that forced sound is 
bad for the user?  

The answer, you knew this, is that the designers of those political sites 
designed not for we as constituents, but for the party folks, for whom 
pomp is de riguer.  Sadly, it is the modern condition, just as why 
managers buy proprietary while the engineers beg for open systems.

About web accessibility-

National arts and disability center (UCLA) on accessible web pages: 
http://nadc.ucla.edu/dawpi.htm

Web accessibility is by the way one area where Open Source is 
particularly useful- if a software doesn't offer a desired affordance, one 

may go and add it. (This is what happened with Linux and all those 
Japanese and Mandarin screen shots we started seeing in the past 
couple years).

Also- as a color blind web devotee- this is a public plea for catchy 
designers to please lay off the high contrast color sites!  It's such a drag

to be surfing along and some mostly pink or yellow website comes up- 
they appear blank to me.

best wishes-

I've bought over 20 Linksys LNE100TX v4.0 and v4.1 cards.  The last time
I had problems with these cards were with Red Hat 6.2 through 7.1. 
Since RH 7.2 I've never had any problems.

I've also tried the CNET Pro120 and Pro200 cards which are tulip
controlled.  CNET's in my experience have been terrible quality cards
that would often go bad after a few weeks or months of use.  Some you
wouldn't realize were bad because they were still working, but at 10%
speed and spewing hundreds of bad MAC addresses randomly.

I tested a few laptops with integrated tulip too, like a Dell Inspiron
8000 IIRC.

If you have a tulip card that doesn't work in Red Hat 7.3, I would
really like to test it if possible.
