Hi all. ftp.iitb.ac.in mirrors debian ( i386 ), linux kernels ( v2.2, 2.4 and 2.5 ) and GNU ( updated almost daily ). Please try it out ( esp. the Debian users ), and give feedback. This is an alpha/beta run. -- jaju

Debian CDs/ISOs
by Vikas Madhavan Alathur 06 Jul '02

06 Jul '02

Hi! Does anyone have a set of Debian 2.2r6 potato CDs/ISO images that I can have a copy? I shall be equally satisfied if I get the 3.0 Woody. I need it rather urgently to setup a cluster in my school. If someone who has access to a permanent internet connection and is able to download it for me, that will be greatly apppreciated. I can also bring my laptop over and copy it if that is OK with you. I can also pay a reasonable sum to someone who can make it available to me. Please reply to my email account. Thank you. Vikas.

well... thanx for all the options..but i would bide some time before experimenting with any thing.meanwhile i will buy a 2nd hand desktop, thngs that ignorant people give for a throw away price and run linux on it. btw.. i tried to use partition magic , the only partitioning software which supports win xp but i dont think i used it properly.so i am yet stuck with one partition. i was not able to change the boot sequence to run my linux bootable on the laptop by going to SetUp by pressing DEL in XP.how come? regards -NDK >At 05:23 PM 7/3/02 +0000, you wrote: >>On Wed, 03 Jul 2002 Nikhil D.

Contributing Simputer apps...
by Frederick Noronha 06 Jul '02

>From ksvivek(a)picopeta.com Fri Jul 5 22:06:06 2002 Hi, I already have a simputer project registered at Source forge; If there is a basic idea about what one wants to do; I can create a module under that name and give CVS access for the same. Now, there should be one person who will take personal responsibility for the module; I can help in initial coordination; till the person can completely handle the module by himself. Also all developer discussions should be made on the simputer-devel mailing list; to ensure that non-technical subscribers of this mailing list are not affected. First let one person decide what application he/she is interested in creating; and then send me a mail, with his source forge ID; I will add him/her as a developer and development can start. Thanx and Regards, Vivek -- Vivek K S (ksvivek(a)picopeta.com), Ph: +91-80-3618184 PicoPeta Simputers Pvt. Ltd., http://www.picopeta.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------~-> To subscribe from this group, send an email to: simputer-subscribe(a)egroups.com Your use of Yahoo!

The file system that can be read through Linux is FAT, but it has poor security features. >are there any generic V.90 56k software modem drivers available >for Linux which would be used for software modems of all makes? sadly again, the hardware interface differs ... and vendors are just waking up. Matter of time I guess ... But you are always good with an external modem.
