Re:it won't fit?
On i386, OpenBSD 5.4 can be installed from either one of the 3 floppies:
%ftp ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/OpenBSD/5.4/i386/
...
ftp> ls floppy*
150 Here comes the directory listing.
-rw-r--r-- 1 500 450 1474560 Jul 30 18:27 floppy54.fs
-rw-r--r-- 1 500 450 1474560 Jul 30 18:27 floppyB54.fs
-rw-r--r-- 1 500 450 1474560 Jul 30 18:27 floppyC54.fs
226 Directory send OK.Which one do you use? You'd have to see which one supports your hardware, which is documented in the INSTALL.i386 file, generated from src/distrib/notes/i386/hardware, amongst other files:
Drivers for hardware marked with [A] are NOT included in floppy A.
Drivers for hardware marked with [B] are NOT included in floppy B.
Drivers for hardware marked with [C] are NOT included in floppy C.In summary, it would seem like OpenBSD is only intended to be boot-strapped from a floppy (e.g. to fetch the rest of the files from the network), and from a single floppy at that. So, even with the licence aside, including something like gnupg is indeed unrealistic and cumbersome.

The EULAs are for different products.
The beta is from openSUSE (the non-oss version) ( http://lwn.net/Articles/283566/ )
The actual follow-on one is from the non-oss version of openSUSE ( http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/opensuse/distribution/11.0/repo/non-oss/EULA.txt )
The one referenced is for the oss version for openSUSE ( http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/opensuse/distribution/11.0/repo/oss/EULA.txt )
I will leave it as an exercise for the read to determine if it is actually an evil conspiracy or not. -

Re:Got Torrents??
Where are you?
In North America, I'd recommend ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/ mandrivalinux/devel/iso/2008.0/ . In South America, ftp://ftp.c3sl.ufpr.br/MandrivaLinux/devel/iso/200 8.0/ . In Europe, ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Man drivaLinux/devel/iso/2008.0/ , or ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandrakelinu x/devel/iso/2008.0/ if that one's slow.
We don't do torrents for beta releases as the demand is not usually high enough to warrant it - the FTP mirrors usually cope with the demand easily. -
Interesting, very interesting.
I'm rather happy to see that Micro$oft is selling more software than (what I'm assuming to mean) Linux developers. Because there are still more Linux servers in use than Windows, that can only mean that people are downloading the bloody operating system for free. Not like there's any shortage of sites...
Note the difference between selling (distributing in exchange for a fee) and using (making it do useful work).
Yay, misleading statistics!! -
Here's the skinny on a good alternative...
At the previous SANE conference (on Systems Administration) there was an excellent poster presentation titled "PPTP Must Die" by Jacco de Leeuw.
The poster (and website below) explain what's wrong with PPTP, and present the alternative: L2TP/IPSec which is widely available. Having been implemented later than PPTP there are some holes in the specs, being filled by pseudo-standards for the time being.
Jacco's site is here. HTH.

In case of /. effectReport as of 10:56 EDT:
Car accident detailsThere have been a bunch of rumours about a car accident involving some free software folks today. Since there seems to be no central place for all information I am trying to gather all information here.
If you have any other information please drop me an email at wichert@wiggy.net
All mentioned times are in CEST (UTC +0200).
- There has been a car accident returning from a trip to bring Richard Stallman (RMS) from SANE 2004 to Paris. (confirmed by several sources)
- they collided with a truck which merged onto their lane while driving in fog (unconfirmed)
- Exact time of the accident is unknown. It was on the morning of September 30th before 09:00.
- Richard Stallman was dropped off in Paris and no longer in the car (confirmed by Rop and Richard).
- At the time of the accident Hans Bakker (mclightje), Edwin Hermans (madeddie), and Sebastian S. (webmind) were in the car. (confirmed).
- The car belongs to Rop Gonggrijp, who lent it to the travelers. RMS was staying with Rop during SANE. (confirmed by Rop)
- Hans Bakker (photo, homepage) did not survive the crash. (confirmed by girlfriend)
- Edwin Hermans has a broken hip and has been transfered to a different hospital for surgery. Sebastian is (or was by now) in surgery for broken bones but is not in critical condition.
- This Yahoo France accident report is from another accident which occured later and the car was traveling in the wrong direction

The Esperanto word for "email"
When electronic mail arrived, we didn't run around flumoxed because there was no word for it.
I lived through an interesting development in the invention of a word for "email".
In 1991, I was a volunteer at the World Esperanto Association. The day-to-day office language is, of course, Esperanto. (Good thing, too: Its staff is from a half-dozen different countries, with four or five different native languages.)
I was an advocate for bringing the office online, putzing around on FIDOnet mail exchanges and contacting the Netherlands UNIX User's Group to see about getting a direct link.
The office's General Director was a bit old-fashioned. Learning of my off-hours email explorations, he said, "Why do we need that? We already have a Telex machine!" But he soon saw the utility of email when Esperantists from around the world started contacting by email through me, the result of another Esperantist's co-advocate's urging.
He proposed that the word for email be "tomo", in honor of my first name, and that the verb be "tomi". ("Sendu tiun tomon al mia frato, mi petas.") I was tickled.
But of course his influence was limited to the office, and not always every part of it. ;) So the current and permanent word is an analog of the English: the obvious "e-pos'to", an abbreviation of "elektronikan pos'ton".
Off-topic, but fun! -
Re:complete package lists for RHEL WS, ES and AS?
quite easy. check their ftp site and surf around the enterprise directory.
have a look at this (this is actually one of the mirror sites as ftp.redhat.com was busy).

The difficult part is programming your preferencesI have automated audio, security, internet access, and voice telephony using a central server box running FreeBSD and a couple of clients running Linux and NetBSD. I term this approach the Information Furnace. When I presented my work at the SANE 2002 conference a member of the audience asked me:
What job does your wife do?Fortunatelly for me, my wife is an IT professional and can appreciate both the advantages of this setup (our CDs are instantly available throughout the house, we can remotely retrieve caller-id information on last calls, setup customized alarm response scenarios, and so on) and the inevitable bugs (the first friends to ring our doorbell were were greeted by an answering machine message).
However, getting the behavior of the system just right took us more than a year, I am still being very conservative when I tweak something (I am never introducing changes to it before leaving for a vacation), and there were times where we discussed the system's interface over a graphical depiction of state machine diagram. I am sure the
/. crowd thinks this is the way to go, but I also think there will be people who might find such a setup a bit bewildering.Diomidis Spinellis - Code Reading: The Open Source Perspective

NLUUG autumn conference 2001
Another conference that will be held soon (on November 8) is the Dutch NLUUG autumn conference 2001 (in Dutch). This year, the theme is "Unix and the desktop", with speakers on general GNOME, KDE, KOffice and security topics, and Jordan Hubbard! (probably about Mac OS X
:))
Wietse Venema (known from the famous tcp wrappers) stale the show last year. I will certainly be there again this time :) -
Re:Sprinkles bits?
you could run any untrusted app in a chroot jail.
If you're running FreeBSD 4.0 or 4.1, the jail(2) (Slashdot story) system call is available. jail(2) is much more powerful than chroot(2). The author of jail(2), Poul-Henning Kamp, described jail as:UNIX has always been designed around two levels of users: root and everybody else. While this is a simple and strong security model, it has disadvantages when it comes to delegating administrative tasks to more or less trusted persons. The FreeBSD ``Jail'' facility provides a way to compartmentalize a server in such a way that the root-privilege for one compartment can be handed over to non-trusted persons without compromising the security of the entire machine. Creating "virtual machines" this way has many uses.

Re:Interesting programIf you look at the invited talk abstract from Barbara Dijker, you will notice that she is covering wireless Internet issues.
As for the rest, the Program Committee can only select from the material that is made available to them, and if we'd had good submissions on IPv6 or QOS, then they would be on the schedule. Heck, given how much we are personally interested in these topics, if we'd gotten any kind of submission on them, it would probably be on the schedule.
If you think that the program is light in certain areas, I'd encourage you to submit an abstract for a refereed paper or invited talk for SANE 2001, because community involvement is the only way that the conference will improve.
