It offers an alternative to the pdftk tool mentioned in other posts. Example: Original file is fred.pdf Target file is wilma.pdf We will extract pages 8 and 9 pdftops fred.pdf - | psselect -p8-9 | ps2pdf14 - wilma.pdf I don't know if this is easier or harder than doing the same thing with pdftk.

Converting pdfs to mobi
Greetings, Much thanks for the great suggestions on tools to use to edit pdf files. As a followup, are there tools that can convert pdfs to mobi format? Amazon, as part of its Kindle service, does provide a pdf to azw (Amazon's version of mobi) conversion service: - email the pdf as an attachment to the email address assigned to the respective Kindle device - put convert in the subject line - within a few moments your Kindle account lists the converted pdf The results are generally good. Once in a while, there is a pdf file that was produced either from images (hence no text) or odd formating. In those cases the conversion results are weak. My interest would be in bypassing Amazon's service. Thanks.

Configuring grub questions
Hi, I have an old computer with two disks. One is a F18 system and the other is a Win7 system. Both disks were installed and configured as primary. I've been shutting down the system and switching the IDE cables depending on which one I'd like to have booted. How can I configure the grub on the F18 system so I can control which system I'd like to load at boot time? Could I set up the F18 system as a secondary disk with the Win7 system as the primary, and boot from the secondary with grub configured on it? I'm not sure how Win7 would respond to booting as a secondary disk when the install was done as primary... If this was lilo, I could probably figure it out, but I'm unsure how to configure grub for this specifically. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

In particular, downloading/saving webpages, and then converting them to .mobi. However, I just tested converting the same document (pdf-mobi) using both calibre and Amazon's Kindle service. The results are far better from Amazon. Calibre's ebook-convert jumbles the output. Just to compare, I do this from the command prompt: ebook-convert source-file.pdf target-file.mobi (ebook-convert recognizes the file extension). Of course, the results are not consistent for web pages. With troublesome webpages, I edit the html, removing a lot of embedded scripts, and the like. poc MP p...@brama.com -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

systemd security?
Some random questions just occurred to me: We have systemd growing like a fungus through the entire system, controlling everything, and it uses d-bus for all of its communication between parts. A google search turns up a gazillion web pages that talk about d-bus APIs for javascript. So, does this mean people will soon (if not already) be writing malicious web pages that use d-bus and systemd to take over your system if you happen to visit the page? Or forget web pages. Will random users be able to disrupt systems that use systemd by spewing bazillions of d-bus messages in a denial of service? I'm just curious here, but I betcha there are folks who are more than curious out there... -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

ssh/dhclient
Got a test iisue/problem. The situation is a group of test servers in a network that's managed by an upstream DHCP server. I have no control of the upstream DHCP allocation of IP addresses. All the test servers (5) are running centos 6.5 as a test. (I know, this is a fed channel, but the issues shoudl be the same!!) The test boxes, run the nic/eth0. The boxes run NetworkManager All the boxes have the same /etc/resolv.conf All the boxes can ping each other All the boxes are on a subnet of 192.168.5.x The issue I'm trying to track down, is that one box can't seem to access the external 'net, ie ping www.google.com doesn't return, and an actual test of ping 1.2.3.4 where the 1.2.3.4 is the actual ip of google.com doesn't get processed. I'm running/testing all of this remotely, so I was trying to see if there's a way to change/force a new ipaddress for the box in question. I'm curious to see if changing the ip on the box, will result in the test ping working... Thoughts/comments things to check??
