Re: [newbie] eMule for Mandrake
Sorry don't know your modem. One place to look is http://www.edonkey2000.com/documentation/u_genericrouter.html Here you will see (in the right hand nav menu - half way down) a list of popular modems and how to open up the ports with those modems. Now have a look at that, as the principle between all of them is the same and maybe you will see one that relates or looks similar to your modem.

Re: [newbie] Re: Is Abba safe?
Of course down here in Australia it is illegal to make any copies no matter what the reason. So basically all those people running around with ipods cannot legally use them here as Apple do not allow you to use the Apple store here. We have no concept of 'fair use' like in the US On Sat, 2004-11-13 at 07:30, Greg Meyer wrote: On Friday 12 November 2004 02:56 pm, Mikkel L.

I have a lot of music on cassette, and it is a pain to record it as an MP3 so I can play it in the truck, or on the computer. (No cassette player in the truck...) I guess it depends on how you define fair use... And whether fair use as a legal concept is recognized in the country you live in. My understanding is that fair use as a legal concept only exists in the US. For instance, it is my understanding that it is illegal to make a copy of a CD for any reason in the UK, even though many do.

Re: [newbie] newbie qustion on ISO images

Thanx Short answer: Just burn. Microsoft Answer: After checking throroughly through the end-user-license agreement, and after carefully reading through all of the documentation concerning this application, make sure you have all the available patches and upgrades prior to initiating the process of creating an image of the file in question. Should there be legalities concerning copying the software, or infringement of intellectual properties, you can contact the Microsoft Piracy website for further information concerning this issue. If you are able to find that you can indeed create a copy of the software without any legal issues or copyright issues, you are going to either have to use Microsoft Windows XP or Home edition to burn the ISO image - but will need to download and install the patch/powertool necessary for the identification of ISO images directly from the Microsoft Update Centre. Once that has been secured and you've read through the EULA, install the powertool as you would any other software, and then reboot your workstation. If you are not running XP or Home Edition, you will have to secure a program necessary for burning CDR's. Microsoft can recommend several popular programs such as Adaptec EZ CD Writer and Nero Burning ROM. These can be purchased either online or through your local computer supplier.

Re: [newbie] M$Access substitute
I use PHP and MySQL, it will handle well over the number of records you require. You will need to learn some simple SQL (depends on how complicated your database is). Also I use phpMyAdmin to help create and administor DBs. Greetings, I am virtually M$ free but for an email database (the Linux Patch prescribed by my doctor to control the M$ cravings has helped a great deal ;-) The database allows me to import mail from M$Outlook. I do this because I don't trust Outlook's database repair tools (such as they are) and prefer to keep my emails in a real database. I was able to learn M$Access fairly quickly because of the wizards. I don't mind learning a database that takes longer but I don't want to waste my time on something cheesy. I currently only have about 25 thousand records but I expect that to grow over the years (at a hundred a day from this list alone it doesn't take long!).

Re: [newbie] phpnuke.
I have two sites running phpnuke, and I have found it easy to set up and great. One of the sites is an earlier version adn I did modify it to make it more secure but am waiting for v6 before I update it. The other is running 5.3.1 but I hear that google does not seach it due to aq system change, and basically I need it to be indexed by google so unless somneone tells me that v6 can do that I will not be updating this. One of the best parts of PHP Nuke is that there is a massive community out there that always want to lend a hand. Hi guys, I have been asked to setup a dynamic web site with html admin capabilities. immediately phpnuke came to mind, is that the best choice? have any of you guys set it up? is it difficult? do you have any tips? anything I should watch out for? there have been many security reports on phpnuke in the past.. how safe is it now?
