The WLUG mailing list is the discussion-list extension of the Waikato
Linux Users Group.
As such, we expect members of this list to adhere to the principles
espoused in our official Charter[1], in particular, Rule 6, which covers
the activities on this mailing list.
While this is an Acceptable Use Policy, the WLUG committee do recognise
the need for informal discussion among list members, and draconian
administration is not the goal of this policy. Please keep in mind,
however, that your comments to this list do represent the WLUG, and
while it is good to be seen as an organisation with a sense of humour,
some comments may do serious harm to our credibility as a serious
advocate of GNU/Linux and all things Free Software/Open Source related.
List discussion:
* Should not commit slander or libel against any person or
organisation
* Should not be unprofessional or petty, especially with respect to
the names of other software companies
* Should not indulge in ad hominem attacks
* Should not reproduce copyrighted material without permission from
the copyright holder
* Should not indulge in marketing or advertising, other than on a
private sale basis, or advertising of jobs - which may be
announced once only.
* Should maintain a reasonable level of spelling and grammar
* Should be honest
* Should not promote or denigrate political, cultural, or religious
views
* Should not continue inflammatory or abusive threads
* Should accentuate the positive, without hyperbole or blatant
misrepresentation
Posters who consistently violate these guidelines will be dealt with at
the discretion of the List Maintainer.
If you feel you have been unfairly dealt with, you have recourse to any
member of the WLUG Committee[2].

Hi all,
I gonna get a new desktop with AMD64 cpu. However, I just wonder what
distro will be best fit for it ? So far, I got two recommendation:
1> Yoper as it customize for i686-or-higher (but personally, I don't
think i686 will be in par of amd64 arch)
2> Gentoo (compile in 64-bit mode)
Anything else?
Howevre, if I go for gentoo, then
- - Will there be a significant improvement if I compile in 64-bit mode
rather than 32-bit with arch=athlon-xp and sse2 enable ?
- - If I compile in 64-bit mode, will I be able to install some 32-bit
apps on top of that as I heard that some plugins like flash / wma /wmv
are not yet availabe for 64-bit & some apps neither (OOo & Cedega/WineX)
Thanks lots in advance,
Happy holidays,
Nigel

What about incremental writing to cdr under linux ..
I have not worked out how to use a cdr as I can under windows .. to act as a large ..non erasable floppy.

I started with computers in 1980. DOS was an infant at the time. I
started to develop software at the time using Basic, progressed to
QuickBasic and now VisualBasic.
About four years ago, I put a version of Mandrake Linux on a Windows ME
computer. Every knows that ME was a 'virus' of a system. About a
month after putting a Linux partition on it, I got a warning that an
error had occurred in Linux which could destroy my Windows partition.
This had happened several times before and nothing happened when I told
it to continue. Bad move. It destroyed my HDD entirely.
Since then my wife has said no more Linux on your computers.
I recently hunted for a LIVE CD version of Linux and now have two.
Mandrake Move - which looks really good, and Ubuntu Live, which is also
great, but can access the HDD and has already changed my screen setting
from 75hz to 60 and I cant change it back.
I think I'll go with the Mandrake - but - I cant get it to recognize my
56k internal Modem now my USB printer. It wont write to the USB memory
stick either although it has located it.
Someone gave me some instructions for finding my modem, but I'm afraid I
was too 'green' to go into action. I'm going to need a 'pictured
painted' for me on this.
However, if I cant get the setting written to the memory stick, what is
the point in trying to use the system? I will have to put in my system
and internet settings each time it loads. Not practical!
Where do I start?

A little bit of help required.
We have a new site on Geocities - www.geocities.com/judenlinz
I am having difficulty in making a photo appear in the appropriate box. Can anyone assist?
I can send the little bit of code to anyone who wishes to contact me
personally, so they can peruse it to see what I am doing wrong. May I
thank some kind soul/s in advance.

Good lord... I have the ISO at home, would you like me to make you a

Subject: [wlug] Ubuntu Live CD
I have downloaded Ubuntu Live Linux which is two files which are about
the size of a CD. I have Nero Burning and now wish to make a bootable
CD with these two files.
What procedure do I use to accomplish this please?
