    more then likely the stock kernel with mandrake didnt have ext3 support built in, run mandrake and rebuild a kernel with ext3 support and im certain you wont have any problems

  4. Re:Firewall? on Sega Drops Dreamcast Price To $50 · · Score: 1
    well to start with the broad band adapter is indeed a 10/100 ethernet card. its no longer avilable except on auction sites where it goes for quite a bit. you can only use one at a time, but if your willing to put up with a bit slower connection you can still firewall with one ethernet card, its just not recommended.


    i cant seem to find the link but there is a page out there on building a hard drive adapter or your own ethernet adapter to work with the dreamcast


    good luck!

    the only gui's it comes with is liloconfig and netconfig i think, and those havent changed in a looong time

    so what happens when i decide to set up a proxy that only charges .25 cents a page? i could then work it like an insurance agency and invest half while telling the websites that the money is on the way, i could then quad my money day trading and then pay off the bill of all my users ;)

    please some of the people all the time... blah blah


    perhaps devolping your own set of in house icons would be the way to go? that way you know exactly what they mean and you can easily train someone else in on them since you designed them you are the most familiar with them?

  12. intresting thought on Slovenian e-Government · · Score: 2, Interesting
    i being a tax paying computer using civilian in the us i could see a use for a more computer-ized governemnt.

    take for instance a state law that might get passed. you want to let your representivitve know how you feel about a certain subject. so you write him letters and send him email and corrospond with him. great. then you find out in the news papers that he's decided to vote for the opposite when he told you something completly else.


    what i am trying to get at here is lets say they want to pass parking tickets on red cars only for the state of georgia... so people of smalltown georgia log on to their local representives page and enter in a an internet uid and password which were assigned at the latest voter registration or came in the mail. they then vote how they feal on the issue and include a comment. likewise, all the representives would do the same to the state. now then the small town people of georgia feal more involved and can see the results much quicker. think of this for the national election. people could log on securely and vote. people with out computers could go to librarys since most are equiped with computers. and all though a paper trail would be nice for such things as we saw in the last election paper or not if someone wants to buy the election they will.


    but there are other advantages... say you want to move somewhere, you could go to their local page and see how the town votes and feels on certain subjects and see if you fit in that area


    perhaps this is all a pipe dream, but i think it would be wonderfull to see

    well, i have mod points, and decided to reply instead of modding you down ;)

    not all linux distributions are full of graphical configuration tools. i run slackware and other then the install and liloconfig (which i dont use)and netconfig (again i dont use) there isnt any other graphical configuration apps for it

    if you take redhat or mandrake home and expect to be a unix admin then i'd have to say that your nuts!

  18. one solution that hasnt been coverd much on Large-Scale Video Archiving? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    first off, when i do find out were your trying to put this cameras in use, i will put on my $5 face mask and break as many of your cameras as i can.

    secondly, cd burning silo's. im not familar with who makes them, but they do exist. your looking at 129 cd's a day so your looking at around $75 MAX to store all your data on cd-r.

    this wasnt quite what i was thinking of but it might do the trick for you http://www.products.storage.hp.com/eprise/main/sto rage/DisplayPages/supplies.htm?DataPage=2200mx-juk ebox
    however the cost for storage is way up from using plane cd's

    i dont argue with you, a commercial grade machine would certainly make it easier. in middle school we tiled the schools property with fairly little supervision from teachers.. it didnt take long as we had a flat area and the ground was dry, so obviously making sure you have optimal conditions is a good idea.

    oh goodnedss, my bad... i beleive its 100m, 300ft. but could be wrong on that

    in either case, repeaters for catv would be easier to setup, you'd just have the pvc connect up to a box that could hold the repeater, power ofcourse would then come through with the catv

  23. Re:Field day on Wanted - 45 Mile Wireless Broadband? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    in a more seriousness, you could easily get donated cat5 as well as pvc, rent a trencher, and go for it, if there is a strait shot road you could do it in a few weeks easily, if you did only a mile a day you would make it pretty far.

    but in another aspect, when a local elementry school went fibre optic, the armed forces came in and did it for the experience. perhaps this is something you can look in to?

    and in a much more uprofesional method, whats the range on dry lines?

    i plan on giving licq and xchat a shot on cross compiling, but this could be nasty... unless licq has a gtk plugin? which i think it does now... i dont want to spend umpteen hours cross compiling qt...


    i will send binaries with all dependencies included to the respective sites if i get any of it to work... so far the cd has worked like a dream for me...


    oh also, i plan on eventualy making a dc-quake-howto... basicaly howto pop in a cd with enough standalone linux to run quake... this has many possibilities for other linux games that you can now pass onto your windows friends who own a dc
