Previous versions of Redhat tell you "you don't have enough space to install this" before even starting, I'm sure.. _______________________________________________ wlug mailing list | wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Unsubscribe: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug

There is another possibility, if you selected the complete install of FC1 then you will run out of disk space as it exceeds 5.4 GB Gerwin

Someone unkindly hoisted this on me to get going! It came with win95 on the disk and 2 pcmcia modems .. us botics xejm3336 and a 3com device .. Anyway .. I got the damn thing working under win 95 for internet stuff .. then he went and bought a usb printer for which there was no win95 driver Right I thought .. linux is the thing ...and installed rh9.0 .. wiping out the win 95 partition... well it seems to take all day to try loading open office (64 M of memory) ..to the point of being useless So I fell back to win 98 .. and have spent most of today trying to get this installed .. but the graphics drivers don't work .. the modem isn't properly recognised etc etc!!!! :<((((( Has anyone experience of linux on one of these brutes .. it has to read ms word docs ... do a bit of graphing for illustrations and work on the internet ... Thanks Stephen

Microsoft still offer paid support for NT. Must of the current NT installs I have seen are acting as NAS, DNS and in a few file / print servers. It is installed on Compaq or HP server platforms.

If anyone has any useful or interesting GNOME 'hacks', please pass them on. If you do email Marsee directly, make sure you mention you're a WLUG member (probably best to spell that out, there's several WLUG's in the world)... Or email a committee member and we'll submit on your behalf. Feel free to discuss this on the mailing list if you want to bounce ideas around. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [wlug-committee] O'Reilly Looking for GNOME Hacks Date: Wed, 07 Apr 2004 14:47:14 -0700 From: Marsee Henon <marsee(a)oreilly.com> Reply-To: WLUG Committee Mailing List <wlug-committee(a)list.waikato.ac.nz> To: wlug-committee(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Hi Linux UG Leader, We're looking for GNOME hacks for our upcoming book, "Linux Desktop Hacks." We already have half of the book filled with KDE hacks, but no GNOME hacks! Do you know of any GNOME Hackers who could help us out? Please forward this email along. If you have a hack to share, please send 'em our way by having your members email me (marsee(a)oreilly.com) with "GNOME hacks" in the subject line. Don't let KDE hacks take over this book! As thanks for sharing, we'll make sure to get copies of "Linux Desktop Hacks" sent to your group shortly after publication. --Marsee _______________________________________________ wlug-committee mailing list wlug-committee(a)list.waikato.ac.nz http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug-committee

Let's aim this at the general public. The date is more than two weeks away. I'm happy to phone around tomorrow, Friday, etc. I'm also happy to design a poster (although it'll suck; I'm no artist). Two weeks is plenty of time to make it happen. Are we doing this or not?
