Re: [Re: [Re: [SLUG] Problems Installing Red Hat 8.0 [More Info]]]
Hi Mathew, et al: Louis How do I do what you did ? i.e : 1. Convert to iso images , and ; I had only windows on this machine to start with so I used a windows iso tool. Not certain how to do this under linux. See James notes for linux version. Louis I'm, the same here. My master PC only has Windows 2000. I want to try Linux 8.0 on this PC before I replace the slave PC RH 7.2 with this one. I'll search from Windows help how to do this iso thing. 2. Install using the hard drive option I will have to check this when I get home from work as I do not have the install cd's with me. I do know that it was done in text install mode. You can get to this by typing linux text at the boot prompt when the cd boots. I you can not see it there let me know and I will check it out. Louis I thought with this iso thing, we boot from the harddrive instead. Is this correct ? You are right though, after CD has booted there is an option to install via text mode. I've never used it though. BTW: After having reading other replies from this, I will first clean my hard drive and the CDs themselves and see what this does. Last resort will be this iso thing.

[SLUG] video capture / compression
Hi, Can anyone suggest a good video capture / compression card and software that works well with Linux? I want it to be relatively console driven, in that I don't want to put a keyboard on the machine that's doing the video in/out, but I do have ethernet running over there. I've got a spare machine that I've plugged in over where my hi-fi kit goes, it's loaded up with MP3s and plays those fine but I'd like to record movies off cable and store them on VCD rather than the VHS tapes I'm using at the moment. I've played with an old Buz board/box my brother gave me but with limited success -- the driver doesn't seem to want to detect the card and nobody on the mailing list for that is much help. Also it does MJPEG compression / playback whereas what I really want is VCD / SVCD i.e. MPEG-1 / 2. Also, I would prefer it if the card did capture from composite video + separate audio input rather than being a TV tuner only type card -- since the signal is coming off cable rather than an antenna (and it's going through my video amp which is cabled for separate video / audio outputs). There was a review of video capture cards in the last APC but no indications as to which ones would work with Linux. -- Del -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
