Now what are you talking about this > windoze users list? :P Just imagine the fun asking 1) How do i install windows XP on a floppy on a 386 with 64mb ram. I want to use it as a firewall and bandwidth shaper. 2) How do i install windows XP server on my reiserfs partition 3) I cannot find the X server files in the XP installation. 4) The file browser shows D: but cannot read the partition (i have installed linux on this partition ( hda5 reiserfs) 5) I get a message "illegal operation performed" who is performing the illegal operation. 6) I have made thirty copies of this crappy windows XP to distribute to my enemies is it legal. Boy oh boy am i excited. And hopefully there will be some cyber cafe guys and some anti virus and security "experts" on that list. rgds jtd

Who is conspiring to throw me off the list. Why am i being persecuted. I refuse to be civil. And i wont leave. If you throw me out I shall reregister and post with a disclaimer combining those from ICICI and Reliance and M$. That will teach all u conspirators a lesson. HA Ha Dont worry VKB i am not about to leave the list just because someone wants me to be civil or anything else at that. Nor am i going to be thrown out (afaik). So dont you worry. Where can i get an audience who are forced to read the #$%^& that i post.On second thought isnt there a windoze users list. rgds jtd

Infact they will always offer u the best that they have and will show u the worst only after u have revealed your inner cheapskateness. U will love to see the chinese squirming as u notice all the flaws. Everybody in the country is to blame, not just the importer. While other nations have passed thru this phase we seem to be stuck with a lazy, laid back attitude for the past 1000 yrs. We seem to be in such awe of our historical achievements that we dismiss every other nations achievements. The cheap chinese is one such. Right now we are trumpeting ourselves as a great software powerhouse. In reality we are only leveraging our english speaking capability. If it was anything else (low cost, innovation, efficiency) the chinese would have beaten us. rgds jtd

[Fwd: Belgian Gentoo-Linux Project in Mumbai]
by Dinesh Shah 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hi All, This is an invitation received from Mr. Johan, Thank you Mr. Johan and Team for doing a great work here in India. Though he has given the time but not given any day/date, may be any day/date few people can visit them, possibly from Monday to Friday. I will try my best, if I can make it. With regards, -----Forwarded Message----- From: Johan Van Lon <de_oppergod(a)hotmail.com> To: linuxers-owner(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in Subject: Belgian Gentoo-Linux Project in Mumbai Date: 17 May 2005 16:10:50 +0000 Dear, -This mail can be sent as an invitation on your mailing-list if you like. we would like to have somebody from every LUG in Mumbai to join us for a tour of our project.... You yourselves are off course also invited. Dear, Allow me to introduce a Linux-project that has been going on for almost 3 months now, right here in Mumbai. We think that you and your organisation might be quite intrested. Almost 2 years ago now, me (Johan Van Loon) and Jan Van Steenkiste got the assignment to find a good firm in Belgium to complete our internship, in one of my previous schools I had done an internship as wel and I hadn't really learned anything in that time, afraid of a repitition of the events, I decided to find an alternative internship. We told our idea to Elise Daans and she thought it was a good idea as well, so we went to the school to see if it would be possible to complete this project. We got a green light and started planning right away, very soon it became very clear that 3 persons would not be enough, so we invited Joeri Balcaen and Tim Bastiaensens to join us, a marvelous decision it turned out to be. The next year we organised a bunch of money-collecting actions and tried desperately to get the attention of the press... The PC's started dripping in... In the end we collected enough money for the transport, but not for our tickets, nor for our stay here. So we decided to finance our tickets and our stay here ourselves. Just in time we recieved a huge donation of screens and PC's and from that moment on good luck shone upon us, we got a couple of very large donations that turned out to be very nessescary here in India since the customs charged us a huge amount of import-taxes on our OWN PC's. We arrived in India and were very nicely welcomed by the school who had provided a very nice appartement for us and a huge classroom. At the moment we have about 30 PC's working in the classroom and the classes are going very fine. We have thought our students the history of PC's, basic PC knowledge about hardware and everything. Further we thought them the basic use of the CLI in Gentoo Linux, now we are teaching them xHTML and we will leave behind a course-book about openOffice.org . We know this is a little short-notice but we would like to invite 2 representatives of your organisation to come and pay a visit to our classroom. We are looking for some people that are apt at using Gentoo-linux, or just linux in general who would like to give up a little of their spare time to keep the network up and running after we have gone... Therefor we would like to invite you to come visit us around 19.00h in our school "Joseph Cardijn Technical School" at Parel. Khashaba Jadhav Marg, Off Dr. Ambedkar Road, Dadar, Mumbai-400014. If you are coming by train, "Elphiston road" station and "Parel" station are the closest, "Dadar" is about 20 minute walk. If you are coming by taxi, ask them to bring you to the back of "Tata Memorial Hospital" in Parel, there ask for the "Mahindra Milestone Workshop" the school is working together with that workshop, and if you arrive their, just ask for the people from "Belgium". Kind regards, Johan - Jan - Tim - Elise - Joeri Allready since my youth, India has attracted me, largly due to my aunt and uncle who were real adventurers and allways spoke very highly of the beauty of India and about the generousity of the people here. So I decided to organise and internship that could help those great people of this great nation. The decision was not hard, the idea i got was going to India to teach the usage of PC's for free and as I talked it over with Jan, we decided to go the whole way, we were going to collect all the necesary PC's and materials ourselves and donate a complete computer-classroom to a school in India. -- --Dinesh Shah :-) <Dinesh(a)ShahMicro.com> Shah Micro System +91-98213-11906

I had the same problem on RH9. I resolved it by increasing the video memory in the BIOS to 16Mb (Or more - don't remember.) Regards, Nadiem. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
