AppleScript debian floppy maker script

A few months ago I put together a Debian floppy-maker script for usage on powerpc. The script depends on the MacOS-provided Applescript 'shell' and the scriptable Disk Copy program. The point was made before, that since these MacOS programs are not free (they come with all MacOS distributions), a s

Hi, Subject basically says it. Has anybody been able to use the iPod as a plain Firewire disk under Linux? I have successfully used various hard disks and a CD writer with a 2.4.14-benh kernel, so I persume it is possible, but I would like to make sure. Thanks and best regards, Jens. -- J'qbp

Re: debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org

Maybe instead of using: va_list myVar = (va_list) otherVar; you should use the more traditional approach with va_start (see man va_start). I don't think va_list has a C++ constructor accepting arguments, neither it has a cast operator (just a C struct in stdargs.h). Laur On Thu, 2001-12-20 at 1

I recently ran into an issue compiling C++ code with var args. I was told that: this "feature" varies from compiler to compiler and architecture to architecture. Is there a way to compile code that has issues with va_list with GCC on PowerPC? The tarball of code can be found at: http://prdownl
