RedHat 7.3 Install CD's by www.chguy.net
by Mel Seder 16 May '02

16 May '02

I purchased a set of two disks labeled B1 and B2 install CDs. There was a CD labeled Power Tools available also but I didn't purchase that one. When I did a Valhalla install from my Hard Drive I had downloaded three Iso files. Should there have been three CDs from the chguy? If there should have been I'd be glad to order it from him. ===== "The sooner you make five thousand mistakes, the sooner you will be able to correct them." - Kimon Nicolaides … [View More]

CD Writing and MP3's using RH 7.3 - Valhalla
by Mel Seder 15 May '02

15 May '02

I installed 7.3 over the weekend and would like to start burning some audio CD's for my car and stereo system. Now I'd like to do the same with 7.3. I did a custom->everything install and selected the ide-scsi option when the install prompted me. I have a PLEXTOR as my CD writer and a CREATIVE as my CD ROM. The PLEXTOR hardware was installed as the master when my box was originally assembled and has not been changed. cdrecord -scanbus finds my PLEXTOR but not the CREATIVE. GRUB is my … [View More]

Installing LimeWire - Resolved
by Mel Seder 15 May '02

15 May '02

I found the path for the Java Runtime. It was /usr/java/j2re1.4.0/bin. It took me a bit to figure out that it was j2re1 not j2rel (one not el). I've been bitten by 1, l, 0, and O many times. Thanks to all who have offered their help. ===== "The sooner you make five thousand mistakes, the sooner you will be able to correct them." - Kimon Nicolaides __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Installing LimeWire
by Mel Seder 15 May '02

15 May '02

I installed Sun's Java Runtime Environment. When I ran "sh LimeWireLinux.bin" I got the following error message. I think I understand the problem. LimeWire couldn't find the Java runtime program in $PATH. My problem is that I don't know how to find out what and how to concatenate the existing path. I'd appreciate help :-) ---snip [mel@localhost mel]$ su -c "sh LimeWireLinux.bin" Password: Preparing to install... Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive... … [View More]

Problem burning cd using cdrtoaster-1.12:
by S/C Conway 14 May '02

14 May '02

Hardware: Sony CRX140S CD ReWritable Recorder Software RH 7.2 kernel 2.4.9-13 sox-12.17.1-4 cdrecord-1.10-4 cdrecord-devel-1.10-4 Using cdrtoaster-1.12 to burn an MP3 to an audio cd results in never recorded before "chipmunks" coaster. The audio sounds like a 33rpm record played at 45rpm. This may be a bad analogy for the CD exposed generation. Analyzing the script from cdrtoaster the creation of a CD takes place in two steps. One step converts the mp3 to wav the next step burns the cd. … [View More]

Re: [RndTbl] Thanks! and kudzu?
by gedetil＠cs.umanitoba.ca 14 May '02

14 May '02

According to millward: > What's kudzu ? I've read the man mount but there's > no kudzu there. What does it do? It's a utility that runs at system startup to check your hardware configuration, and allow you to setup/configure any new or changed hardware. If your system will be stable after you've set it up, you can always disable it as a startup service to speed things up a bit... chkconfig kudzu off However, I like to leave it on, so it catches any hardware changes I made, or … [View More]

Huge audio .wav files in Red Hat
by millward 13 May '02

13 May '02

How big can I make a file in Red Hat 7.2 ? I'd like to copy an audio tape to the hard drive in one huge .wav file, and burn it to CD. I've got a few gigs of hard drive space to play with.
