I used Tom's Root Boot (the most GNU/Linux on 1 floppy disk) to create partitions and suck down a Gentoo stage 3 tarball from ibiblio.org on my crusty Pentium 75 that wouldn't boot from CD.
BTW, Tom's Root Boot is "muy bueno", it's got scads of NIC drivers (I've tried it on Intel Pro100, Intel EXP16 (!), 3Com 3c9xx, 3c509b, and an eight dollar Linksys 10/100 card. Wget is on there. It can create/mount ext2/3 and FAT16/32 partitions. I'm now using this at work to build up old PCs that need (spit) Windows 95 on them but have no CD-ROM. I just tarred up the CABs and threw them on a web server. Now I boot them w/ Tom's, fdisk, format FAT32, wget the CABs, reboot, build, ?????, Profit!!!. Huzzah!
I fully agree with this comment. If you are watching Koy for the first time, you must set aside an hour and a half that will be free from disruptions and watch the film. Otherwise you might miss the plot!
Agreed on the time. Not agreed on the plot issue.
Plot: 5. In fiction, the story of a play, novel, romance, or poem,
comprising a
complication of incidents which are gradually
unfolded, sometimes by unexpected means.
Theme: 1. A subject or topic on which a person writes or speaks; a
proposition for discussion or argument; a text. 2. Disourse on a certain subject.
The Qatsi series do not have plots in the traditional, literary sense. They most certainly have strong themes however. Bravo for their release on DVD.
It queries freedb.org servers automagically, rips w/ cdparanoia, uses ogg vorbis to encode by default (though LAME can be easily substituted for MP3 duties), and is a CLI program, because, lets be frank, CD ripping/encoding does NOT need a fancy GUI.
Welcome to my world. Many school districts, including the one I do tech work for, have zillions of old Macs running Mac OS 7.6.1. Mozilla aint happening there. Unfortunately, Netscape 4.x is the only game in town on those.
PowerMac 5260 anyone? Fill 'em w/ concrete and you have yourself a fine boat anchor.
Try the K12LTSP distro, a modified LTSP setup ready-to-install. It has Mozilla, OpenOffice, etc., and will likely be updated to GNOME2 goodness once the latest 7.4/8.0 limbo/null/whatever betas are done.
The diskless terminals boot from a floppy or NIC bootrom, with the K12LTSP server doing all of the heavy lifting. I've used Pentium 90s and worse for the terminals.
Why would I want to sign up with an ISP that prohibits what you've already done by "deep linking" to their page in your post?
From the AUP: (I'd link to it but I'd be violating their AUP...);-)
You may provide a hypertext link to our Web site on another Web site, provided that: (a) the link must be clearly marked "EarthLink",
(b) the link must "point" to the URL "http://www.earthlink.com" or "www.earthlink.net" and not to any other pages within the Web site, (c) the appearance, position and other aspects of the link may not be such as to damage or dilute the goodwill associated with our name and trademark(s), (d) the appearance, position and other aspects of the link may not create the false appearance that an entity is associated with or sponsored by EarthLink , (e) the link, when activated by a user, must display this Web site full-screen and not within a "frame" on the linked Web site, and (f) EarthLink may, in its sole discretion, revoke consent to link to our website at any time. All other hypertext links to the Web site must be approved in writing by EarthLink.
IANAL but Earthlink obviously retains a truckload of 'em. Yet another case of lawyers not understanding the web.
AT&T Broadband has chosen to allow Earthlink to serve customers on their network in the Seattle and Boston area, with Oregon to follow.
The Portland, OR area's Mount Hood Cable Regulatory Commission was one of the organizations which first sued to try to force AT&T to allow other ISPs on their network. MHCRC loses the suit and now ATTBI allows Earthlink as an "alternative".
Too bad their as draconian as any most super-sized ISP...
I propose that most managers didn't set out to be managers. They were probably geeks just like the rest of us who wish they could do more geeking on a daily basis.
If not geeking, they most likely had other interests that != managing.
Disatisfaction w/ job requirements inevitably turns into poor job performance.
I don't think its a stretch to for Jobs to concede that MS won the operating system war - thats why he is trying to fight the total user experience war - something MS can't do unless it wants to start making boxes.

Uh, I'd just do:
What's the problem again?K12LTSP
Actually, if we're getting pedantic (or historic in this case) the 128K, 512K, and 512KE all sported DB-9 serial ports.
Here's the Gentoo Forums link w/ instructions.

The kitchen thing has been done. Check out the LTSP "appliance".

You mean like the X-box?
