[newbie] Mandrake Club Mirror finder for rpmdrake
http://www.mandrakeclub.com/modules.php?name=Mirrors How to configure URPMI or RPMDRAKE to use web resources for parsing avalible Mandrake Compiled Applications. What this means is the thousands of different programs that have been bundled into RPM's for MDK, and are whearhoused on a servers hard drive on the internet. Can be integrated and linked into your software manager. So after adding the appropriate source this link assists you in doing, you can simply querie in rpmdrake for a specific app, say openoffice provided your lists are uptodate it will show you all the results matching openoffice, you can then select what you want, and urpmi will automagically take care of any dependencies (those apps where one program depends on another). Viola, openoffice and all associated components are installed. Verry Cool Huh!!1 so take the time to configure this, besides updating your lists you only need to add them once. (and if you really fall in love with this become a club member for more bennifits) Enjoy, This Mandrake tip brought to you by www.hasty-solutions.com -- 12:16am up 14:35, 6 users, load average: 0.11, 0.07, 0.08 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] mystery character sneaks into typed text
when typing in many programs I often have this ' character appear in texts. Why? It seems it may have somthing to do with typing, backspace, or arrow to move the cursor, space and or then typing again. For some reason that ' character is inserted randomly in typed text??? -- 2:33pm up 1 day, 2:32, 7 users, load average: 2.03, 2.04, 2.00 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] recording audio -cassette input?

I dropped the rate down from 44100 to 8000 as these tapes are only speech and do not contain music. Quality seems very acceptable, although I think I will have to compress to mp3 format as even these .wav files are still rather large. regards magnet On Tuesday 10 Dec 2002 4:22 am, Bryan Tyson wrote: On Monday 09 December 2002 19:49, magnet wrote: Can you recommend a utility that will allow me to record the input from a cassette player into the input plug on my soundcard?

This does not quite seem logical to me. The computer that the scanner is attached need be the only one you work with while scanning as you would have to run back and forth from Comp B, C, or D to scanner to replace/adjust the source paper. Scan and save the images, then share them with the network. well first of all my scanners plural, have sheet feeders, unfortunatly due to a kernel bug between smp and usb, I cannot run the scanners directly on my highpowered dual processor amd machine, instead I have them connected to a lowly amd k6-2 400 print server, who has the unique advantage of having the only usb chipset (that theroetically does not exist) that does not loos its connection to an hp office jet g85 when it goes into power save mode.

On SunOS4 there was a cute command line app called (I think) file. It had a table of magic numbers and a small amount of parsing ability, so that it could identify the type of 'any' file. For a core file it indicated the application that it related to.
