Interesting speculation over at The Register. :o

arctic - you've mentioned 'workbench' several times, so I'll move this to the Workbench forum. B)

Welcome to the board. :) There's a package listing here.

Welcome to the board.

Don't forget: you have three votes. :deal:

To vote, reply with the names of three board members whose screenshots you wish to vote for.

The first will receive three points, the second will receive two and third one.

I can't edit the FAQ entry. May I ask a mod to add the above text?

I've copied it into the Pending FAQ forum, so one of the FAQ Team can deal with it. :)

Update on the HowTo for Mandrake 10.0:

__________________

Building a LiveCD with Mandrakelinux 10.0 OE

Step 1

* Install Mandrakelinux 10.0 Official on one / partition, 3 - 5 GB, that depends on your needs. Make sure you have enough RAM and/or SWAP. Example: I am building a ~300 MB iso off a 700 MB big installed system, got 256 MB RAM and a big SWAP partition (but 250 MB SWAP might be enough). Make sure you have the syslinux rpm installed: # urpmi syslinux

Extract the file install_any.pm.gz from your first mdk install cd (/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install) to /usr/lib/libDrakX

Step 2

* Make your system as small as possible. You iso is limited to 700 MB, your system should not extend 1,8 GB. Better start with a pretty small installation.

Step 3

* Add contrib (for 10.0) to your urpmi sources.

Step 4

* Install the kernel-tmb-2.6.7-2.tmb.6mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm on your system. You can find the rpm on the *contrib 10.1* ftp mirrors.

Step 5

* Install the latest stable mklivecd scripts for 10.0, the version is 0.5.8-1mdk, get them here: http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfi...p?group_id=1149

The mklivecd rpm contains the scripts for building your livecd, the livecd-utils rpm is only needed if you want to implement a harddisk installation in your LiveCD. Use urpmi to install the rpms, it will take care of the dependencies, you have added contrib to your urpmi sources, don't you? And you might need CD 4, if you don't have it, just add also the /main ftp tree to your sources!

Step 6

Clickup a console. Get root. Run: mklivecd --help

The command to build your iso is as simple/enhanced as you want.

Examples:

# mklivecd myown.iso

# mklivecd --verbose --kernel 2.6.7-2.tmb.6mdk --resolution 800x600 --fstab=rw,auto --splash=no --keyboard=fr --usbhome rain.iso

The script takes care of compressing the files and building a bootable image, and will cleanup after it is done.

Step 7

Burn your iso. Have fun. - Problems? Read the mailing list archives of the mklivecd project.

(these steps only work on a Mandrake 10.0 system. For 10.1, please read the mailing list)

I'm not sure about what FLOSS is...

Free/Libre Open Source Software.

Two months later, they changed their site to support Firefox 

People power!

Just a reminder that quote tags cease to work after 10 pairs, which is why I have italicised aRTee's quotes to make his post more readable. ;)

i think darkelve has tried it...

Darkelve's thread. B)

I came across this NewsForge review today. :)

From The Register:

The main issue is that the directive is tabled to be passed in a meeting on 25-26 November as an "A Item". This means it will not be discussed further, but will be waved through as is.

...

The countries that voted for the directive on 18 May fall short of a qualified majority, based on today's vote allocation.

Can Linus & friends stop the EU Council? :huh:

Sorry I have posted this on the wrong place previously

Not a problem - and welcome to the board. :)

Hopefully, somebody will be able to help you.

PS dont know how to mark this entry as "problem solved"

I've done it for you, but you can do it by editing the first post in the thread. :)

The Linux Core Consortium includes Mandrakesoft. Read more at DesktopLinux.

Details at The Register.

I don't use my Epson Stylus C62 for photo printing, but you may find the advice at www.linuxprinting.org helpful. :)

But can this really be an absolute block against the legislation coming somehow into effect?

Well, this is based on the assumption that other nations will not change their votes, as there's no public indication that they will.

There's an analysis of qualified majority voting on this subject at www.nosoftwarepatents.com.

Good news over at The Inquirer.

After meetings with Sun, Novell, HP and Microsoft, the Polish government decided that the proposal in question was likely to make all software potentially patentable, which just won't do.

See The Inquirer. :o

Welcome you and your GF to the club. "Resistance is Futile!!!"  (No Borg thingy :( )

Thanks, Andrea, I've added you to the list. B)

You can find out more here, but note that unlike previous PPC releases, this is not an official Mandrake product.

Shouldn't be in tips-n-tricks, IMO.

Moved to Software. :)
