- Connect your new HDD to your laptop (e.g. as an external drive).
- Get the new HDD partitioned and formatted
- "rsync -avxHSAX /old/partition/ /new/partition" will do a proper copy
of your existing data
- Look into /etc/fstab and change the new partitions UUIDs to the same
(old) UUIDs used in fstab ("man tune2fs")
- Change the HDDs
- Install GRUB ("man grub-install")
I have done this quite often, it works.

I would THINK you could put the new drive in the USB enclosure then --boot from a live cd --use dd from the live cd to copy the entire old drive to the new drive MAKING SURE you you understand which /dev/whatever is the old drive, and which is the new drive before you start this step.

In either case, as long as you've been careful to NOT copy the new drive on top of your old one, even if it doesn't work, all it's cost you is some time.

Back to the original question :) It appears you already have RPM Fusion repository installed? That being the case I would recommend Openshot or Kdenlive. They are much newer alternatives to Kino which last I checked was really only designed for editing DV recordings (no HD). Openshot is largely python based and has a nice interface and is pretty simple to use. Kdenlive (as the name suggests) uses the KDE libraries and in KDE fashion is powerful but also more complicated. You may want to avoid this if you don't have KDE installed and don't want to pull in a bunch of deps. I don't run KDE, but I certainly have in the past and would use a KDE tool if it did what I want. I could even install a VM to run KDE and video if that seemed like a good way to get at the tools. I'll keep these suggestions handy, may try Openshot, since I can use it in my current environment, and wait for a need before going to something more powerful. -- Bill Davidsen "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

By converting to very high quality MPEG2 you avoid issues with AVI, XVID, H.264 encoding and decoding which a lot of programs handle differently (you can get different results just by using different builds of FFMPEG). I found that the hard way. For instance, it´s impossible to do frame-accurate cutting with a lot of AVI cutters, whereas on MPEG2 cuts are frame-perfect. Don´t ask me why, I´m not a codecs writer just an end user of many video cutting tools. And this is based on my personal experience. I have found that writing from avidemux gives many warnings about just this, if you don't reencode it sometimes crashes. MPEG2 is the codec used on broadcast HDTV, and while it´s much less efficient than H.264, it´s less CPU intensive for applications to work with. I would like to save it in a format which didn't get reencoded for use on a DVD if I have to distribute the video (lots of meetings and such). Most of the mastering tools I have tried are no happy to just use what they find.

Re: Partitioning between SDD and HDD
In the past in theme park ride applications we've had audio on SSDs.
The same audio gets read every few minutes virtually every day of the
year. Eventually the audio files developed bad spots. We started
recommending they record a full day's worth of the audio and play
sequentially to the end of the recording before starting over. That
solved the bad spots caused by reads.
This was a few years ago. Times might have changed. I am still leery
of SSDs, though.

So sdd has it merrits but:
A) no swap on sdd, so either enough mem, or swap on traditional hddm
B) keep things like /var so on hdd
C) if you _realy_ enough mem, put /var and /tmp on tmpfs (eg, in mem)

It's well known that flash devices have a limited number of writes. This
number is pretty high, though. And with caching and load-balancing built into
the drive's firmware, it is typically not a major concern.
However, although SSD devices have lightning-fast read performance, writing to
them is considerably slower. Think of the difference between reading a big
file from a flash thumb drive versus writing a big file. That doesn't mean
that you should never write to them, but if the intended use involves writing
very frequently (like /var or /tmp) then it might not be a good fit.
Also, SSD is much more expensive, byte-for-byte, than a hard drive. If you
want a lot storage (my /home partition is well over a terabyte) then SSD is
pretty cost prohibitive.
On the other hand, my system drive is SSD and, because of the fast read
performance, my computer boots, after the BIOS screen, in four seconds. From
the login screen to my desktop is another 2-3 seconds. Starting even very
large applications is pretty snappy.
WOW!.talk about speeding up. Well I have a Gateway laptop so there's not
physical way I could do 2 different types of drives, but I also have a CentOS
desktop, maybe I can do it there, is SSD something that an old "Pentium 4" PC
could use? I think I'll look into this...do some Googling! Thanks for the info!

Re: Laptop Intel wireless card as access point (reply nr 2)
Hi, You can take a look in this table, in the AP column: http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers In the past, you could test for master mode by "iwconfig wlan0 mode master". In recent kernels it is not supported, so don't try it (it gives error also with devices that support 80211.n). The right way to test it is indeed with hostapd. It could be that you better try with the git tree of hostapd in case you have quirks with the rpm hostapd. Good Luck!
