Its a good point, I recently had some VOB's to rip to avi .. I usually use acidrip but no way to start halfway... in the end I just used mencoder for cli....

ljones Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 (edited) BTW, it's aRTee, not aTree - I feel like your monkey (from your icon) is hanging on to me now.... tongue.gif Ooops, sorry aRTee(!). I guess that'll teach me not to try to put up posts at nearly 3AM in the morning or some other stupid-o-clock time :) . But I was thinking the other day about a couple of things about stuff that would be good to have in a future version of linux. And one of the ideas was some sort of RPM "repair" tool; it's all too easy to add in a wrong RPM somehow and cause all kinds of problems (in fact I'm getting this right now :( ) ! And I like trees too ;) hehe! ljones Edited February 14, 2005 by ljones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 (edited) psssttttt....check out this script (I would say 'my script', but half of it is stolen from code snippets from aru "Bash god"): http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=10447 That'll fix missing files. Not sure exactly what your paticular problem is. Edited February 15, 2005 by Steve Scrimpshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chisanga Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Thanks for subscribing me to Mandraheusers, I am a Mandrakelinux use and when I compare it with the Window bases operating systems it is more stable. You see the entire system does not crash when a problem arises as compared to windows where you have to restart the entire system. The future of linux is very bright considering that it is open source and any one can contribute to the perfecting of the platform of linux.

foot Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 (edited) Just as an aside, I run a small (but old and established) football website which gets about 250-300 unique visitors a day - its visited by lots of people who care little for computers and just want to use them and not mess..burrt I have been calculating the webalizer stats and, after lots of explanation why its important by the more geeky types on the forums, 36% of the visits on the site are done by people using firefox (compare to less than 10% generally) and IE usage is 'down' to 55%. Now, I am the only one I know of in this particular 'community' that uses anything aside from Windows, but I feel its worth mentioning that if you stick to facts and keep plugging, people do get the message and even some of the most inertia-ed MS/IE users can be persuaded to at least have a try..and if the F/OSS product is straightforward / good enough, they'll stay with it.
