According to Mel Seder:
I searched my PC (running FC2 everything) for the app and didn't find anything.
If anyone knows of a well written tutorial site which will step me thru getting, installing and downloading with bittorrent I'd appreciate it very much.
The instructions here are rather sketchy...
http://torrent.linux.duke.edu/
... but they should give you enough to get it installed, and they provide a link to the download directory for RPM's for various Red Hat versions, as well as for Fedora Core 1. (The fc1 rpm should work under fc2 as well.)
This is a follow up to last nights meeting. There were two questions about a home network from myself and Chris. The problem Chris outlined actually had a simple solution. Actually the problem was similar to one Adam had during the presentation. It turns out the static address we were trying to assign had two consecutive periods in it. I didn't catch it because we set up the machine to use graphics (to get access to some tools). The font didn't show enough space between the two periods. I watched what was going on in text mode (during the boot) and sure enough it was a badly formed address. In my defence I can say it was my first time and I'm not likely to make that mistake again. ;-)
Now things are working the way we hoped the next step is for me to see what can possibly be done. Samba is configured and running. Apache is running but not tweaked. I want to do some file sharing and backup of an uncooperative Windows ME box (small harddrive). Perhaps even set up a game of something on the Linux side. I also have some of Macs (two don't have ethernet cards but the "fastest" one does). Any suggestions? Easy to understand manuals would help too. ;-)
After two years of reading what I could find, things are starting to come together. As I suggested the problems I had WERE just a matter of being 30 seconds away from a solution. Twice!

Description: Partition Image is a Linux/UNIX utility which saves partitions in many formats (see below) to an image file. The image file can be compressed in the GZIP/BZIP2 formats to save disk space, and split into multiple files to be copied on removable floppies (ZIP for example), ... Partitions can be saved across the network since version 0.6.0.
Partition Image will only copy data from the used portions of the partition. For speed and efficiency, free blocks are not written to the image file. This is unlike the 'dd' command, which also copies empty blocks. Partition Image also works for large, very full partitions. For example, a full 1 GB partition can be compressed with gzip down to 400MB.

Thanks. I think I'll give it a try this weekend.
I can't believe how close I was to getting things going all this time... ;-)
