Re: Idea to prevent those long package listing downloads...

Hi I think rsync would work well for this. No need to keep old versions arround for diffing. Rsync might also work for packages, if they were uncompressed. However that would either double the size of the archive, or load the servers too much. It might also be difficult to get all mirrors to provi

Re: E! Enlightenment for newbie?

code to get applications to share colors nicely. Of course, a low color theme will free up color cells. And you can set imlib to use a very small color pallete, thus saving colors for other applications at the cost of appearance. Just run imlib_config. Just some thoughts, Robbie

Re: why so much hate?

s very well. Info could be as simple as lynx, but certainly isn't. Something so vital to the system as dselect shouldn't need to be so cryptic. A system can get really screwed up by a few inadvertent keys. I think a lot of dselect is great, but too much of it is counter-intuitive. Just an opinion, though. Robbie

Re: SoundBlaster PCI64

Hi I don't know about the cd playing problem, but the es1370 driver is not part of oss, so it doesn't appear in /dev/sndstat. The cdrom drive is not controlled by the sound driver, it is only connected to an analogue input on the sound card. Regards -- Rob Murray

Re: SoundBlaster PCI64

Hi I think you will either need to upgrade your kernel to 2.2.x, or use alsa with the pci 64. The reason pnpdump doesn't say anything about it is that it is not an isa card. You need either the es1370, or es1371 driver. Check /proc/pci to find out wich. Regards -- Rob Murray
