Except that in case of tally in India, it is the one package which prevents a complete windose free enterprise. So imho an exception is called for in this case as it will hopefully generate sufficient ire against tally / interest in free alternatives. And in any case we will have to discuss tally while working on alternatives. Which will have to continue as peutronics will start screwing the database formats in response to competition. Btw KG i have downloaded avsap abt 45 days ago. Guess it's time to shake the lethargy. Saswata has promised domain knowledge. The INSTALL instructions need to have distro specific sections for Debian. Also dependencies should be made available for debian alongwith the main package. Particulary wxPython which is not available on woody.And why cheetah. Cant we stick to apache. rgds jtd

Anyone tried to connect to the net via - Phone GPRS (MTNL)
by Pillai, Gishu R (GE Energy) 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

Couldn't use the net on my RHL 8 coz the modem doesn't seem to be supported. But the driver disk for the modem has a dir called Linux 6.1 full of .c files. Read me doesn't work. Anyways was wondering would it be possible to use the NGage QD as a modem with GPRS and connect ? Has anyone tried this ? Would it be better or worse than Dial Up? and the Million$ one can it be done via Linux RHL 8.0 ? Thanks, Gishu Pillai

Re: RE: [ILUG-BOM] Tally and Linux

Update: The tally dealer insisted that their 6.3 will work on linux and they had CONFIRMED it from the Tally people itself. I asked how? They said some will work. I asked if there is a linux version of the installer, he said no, the same one will. I said it's not possible. Remember I want to use it as a server and client. He insisted. To humor him i said find, come and install. So the person comes to the office with the package, loads the CD on a RH9 platform and tries to run the setup.exe or install.exe file. Needless to say it did not work. But since I am no PHD in anything linux and would like to give a benefit of doubt before writing off somebody, was it possible that the person could have installed tally from the CD that they supplied? Remember even the package said the system requirements as Windows 98 n Above. So it's 10th April already and I am without a viable alternative Account package to Tata EX which is as Windows dependant as one can be. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

This topic is done to death without any solution resurrection in sight and since I recently fired the thread, i'll sign out of this thread atleast with this last message. I am not sure if "linux certified" (whatever that is) is same as Redhat Certified. Is there something like Linux Certified? What do they mean? Which entity certifies on the behalf of "linux"? Will it work on any and all distros? Is certification a definitive and closed statement of "We will only support what is certified" or a generic and open ended statement of "atleast works on this, rest go figure, we dont care". At the risk of sounding anal, it would be fair to say that Tally 7.2 is now Redhat certified. At this point i would like nothing better than to be told what I have just said is indeed a case of reading too much in between the lines, but thats how I see it. Lets talk about cloning Tally. Maybe call it Lally. abhi __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new resources site! http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/resources/

Finally I got my Data Back ( Reiser FS )
by Amit Karpe 13 Apr '05

13 Apr '05

Hi all , Thanks to God and Linux Hackers who write down such helpful documentations. Finally I am able to recover my data back ;-)) It was painful night but got success to get my data back . Such joyful felling :-D you can imagine . I did refer this links to recover my data back . http://forums.infoprosjoint.net/showthread.php?t=5821 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/answers/197 http://www.antrix.net/journal/techtalk/reiserfs_data_recovery_howto.comments http://www.martian.org/marty/archives/000888.html I use following command to recover my partition and data . I first create backup of my formatted partion into singal file of name "filesystempartition" . linux:~ # dd if=/dev/hda2 of=filesystempartition Using reiserfsck command I rebuilds the entire filesystem tree . linux:~ # reiserfsck --rebuild-tree -S -l recovery.log filesystempartition . Create "recover" directory to mount "filesystempartition" using loop option . linux:~ # mkdir recover linux:~ # mount filesystempartition recover -o loop I change directory in lost_found directory where all my recover data will be present . But all files and directories are in number ( inode ). linux:~ # cd recover/lost+found/ So I search for my particular file "amit.doc" which was in "/home/amit/Documents/amit/amit.doc" . linux:~ # find | grep amit.doc ./1898_246487/Documents/amit/amit.doc I guess that "./1898_246487" is my "/home/amit" directory . linux:~ #cd ./1898_246487 linux:~ #ls And ha ha ;-) I found all my directories and files from my "/home/amit" directory . Simple reiserfsck and dd commands are help me to recover my data . This is magic of Unix . Thanks to GNU/Linux Community And Benoy , sherlock , Arun , Amol ,Seeking ,Anurag for giving +ve reply ;-) -- -- Amit. ______________________________________________________ param vaibhavam netum etat swaraashtram samrthaa bhavatwaashishaa tebhrusham || Bharat Maata Ki Jay ||
