Re: Q: How to find people with Debian skills

2002-05-29 Thread traxlend
I say, feel free. I've invested a good deal of time in Debian as a hobby. An opportunity to use those skills in the workplace is pretty much my ideal job. As long as the jobs are debian-related and the list doesn't get targeted for spam any more than usual, I say recruit away. (Plus, I'm a recent

Re: Watch TV Card over remote X?

You can do it by logging in with a full X session using XDMCP. I've used hummingbird exceed on Windows to log in to my Linux box and start xawtv. It's not worth it though. The network just doesn't have enough bandwidth to send 30 frames per second at any size in realtime. I have 100Mbit Ethernet,

Here's a related question: does anyone know if there is a grub graphic available for Debian? Redhat's looks pretty cool, and Debian just has the text menu. The image goes in /boot/grub and is a .xpm.gz file. -- Nick -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

On Redhat, put: splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz in your /boot/grub/menu.lst and make sure splash.xpm.gz is in that directory. The thing is, I have no idea how the xpm format works. -- Nick On Tue, May 14, 2002 at 10:15:37AM -0100, andrej hocevar wrote: On Mon, May 13, 2002 at 11:42:51PM

A certain other major distro (which I'll leave unnamed, but it starts with an 'R' and rhymes with 'edhat') symlinks /boot/grub/menu.lst to /boot/grub/grub.conf. I suppose it makes the file more obvious for newbies, but it seems more stupid the longer I look at it. -- Nick On Mon, May 13, 2002 at
