Perlopiu' si tratta, una volta sistemate le impostazioni relative a IRQ e affini in modules.conf, di caricare uno alla volta i moduli per TA interni (HiSax, Teles, ecc... ) e di verificare (modo abbastanza grezzo e sperimentale :P); dato che non ho esperienza diretta per questo, ti rimando a degli HowTo specifici in italiano, dacci uno sguardo: http://linux.interpuntonet.it/doc/miniHOWTO/Italian-ISDN-mini-HOWTO.html http://www.judaweb.com/devs/isdn4linux.html.

Oh well. Live and learn. Was happy to see it supported so well!

RE: [newbie] OT: Life of a CD - Recorder
What? Most of them are rated for around 50,000 hours of operation,, so that is probably alot more then 500 burns.. Also, if you use it for a CDROM all the time, then it will wear out faster, but if you only use it for burning,, then expect it to last a while, I had a burner from when the very first IDE burners came out, it was an old Octek RW260 and when I sold it 4 yours later, it was still goin strong, and it must have burned at least 500 CD's because back then I was the only person that people know had one. don't stress it, they make them alot better and more accurate now, then they did when my old Octek was new. Actually, I have a HP 9500 series burner that I stuck in the case of a USB 8200 series case, works great in windows, haven't tried it in Linux yet. only downside is that I have a 12x burner connected via USB (USB can't do more then 4 times burning, due to USB bandwidth limits.) rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of ngn Sent: Thursday, 18 October 2001 10:48 AM To: newbie Subject: [newbie] OT: Life of a CD - Recorder Hi folks!!!

Re: [newbie] Burn directly from ISO OR decompress first - any difference?
Hello, On Wednesday 17 October 2001 18:14, you wrote: Burning from win I have a limited choice of burn-apps Nero/Cdrwin/Winoncd. None of these seem to handle burning the ISO's After spending lots of thime reading Nero-howtos and burning Useless ISO cds (Just one big useless file on the entire cd) I was wondering if it made any difference if I unpacked the ISO images first and then burned them Unpack? You mean, you have a compressed image file, something like xxx.iso.gz? In this case, yes, you have to uncompress it before burning. P By the way, I made two aliases in prder to burn images. This is easier in the case you want to burn a plain CD image like for instance Mandrake Linux CDs. These aliases are used like this in a command tool: 1. Burning myfile.iso is done by: burniso myfile.iso 2. Blanking a cdrw: blankcd You can get the best of both worlds: a nice GUI when necessary, and a very quick utility when you want to burn a single image. If you are interested, here is my .bashrc and some explanations to configure your environment: -- # .bashrc # User specific aliases and functions export CDRDEV=0,0,0 export CDSPEED=8 alias blankcd=cdrecord dev=$CDRDEV blank=fast alias burniso=cdrecord -v dev=$CDRDEV speed=$CDSPEED -data $1 # Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi -- You have to edit it and if necessary change 2 variables for your machine: 1. Device: in my case, it is 0,0,0. If you run cdrecord -scanbus in a terminal, you will get a list of the devices and their parameters. You have to enter the 3-number sequence (separated by commas) corresponding to your burner. Change the line export CDRDEV=0,0,0 accordingly. 2. Enter the speed (8 in my case). But this is not too important. It works even if I set another number, preferably greaer than 8. Change the line export CDSPEED=8 accordingly. One never knows. Once you're done, type source .bashrc so that your command line tool takes the new config into account. Then you can use the two commands burniso and blankcd. That's about it.

[newbie] Folder Icon Color in KDE2 Konqueror
In KDE2, I have noticed on my SuSE system that the file manager (Konqueror) shows the folder icons in light blue (top half of folder) whereas my Mandrake box shows the folder icons in a reddish brown color. This causes me to think the folder color can be changed. However, looking in KDE control center, I could not find a setting for the color of folder icons. Does anyone know how the color can be changed? Thanks. *** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.2 Professional KDE 2.1.2 KMail 1.2 Bryan S.

Re: [newbie] CONEXANT on compaq presario 12XL509 with MAndrake 8.1
The olitec drivers never worked for me and I also got those no dialtone errors after using hsfcompat. There are several inf files on the web, you have to look for them yourself, though. I've heard or read of some people who copy their Windoze inf files, but I'm sure that won't work. Here's what I used, but I haven't compared it with the one from Olitec, I don't know if there's any difference. I use it with a 2.2.17 Kernel on Mdk 8.0, but it works on all the 2.4 kernels I've compiled and used. I tweaked around a lot before I got it to work right, and destroyed alot of data. Just a small piece of advicedon't use this modem unless you're on a ReiserFS file system. Rebooting on an Ext2fs after a crash..shiver..sucks.
