[techtalk] rawread and rawrite
Hello, I have some 1.44 MByte Floppys with minix-fs and I like to save them to Disk - under MS-Dos (!!!) because I must send it with e-mail. OK, I have the two DOS programs rawread und rawrite but they accept only FAT12 or FAT16... Question: Does anyone know, where I can get rawread und rawrite, which can also read and write minix-fs ???

Re: [techtalk] rawread and rawrite
I have a Linux specific solution, but of course you can copy the images to a dos partition... dd will read anything - try dd if=/dev/fd0 of=floppy.img bs=18k where /dev/fd0 should be the device for your raw floppy drive (_not_ /dev/floppy) and floppy.img the file you want to save the info to. You can then copy that file to somewhere you can read it with DOS, or maybe even zip it so it will fit onto a floppy ;) I'm not sure if any DOS tools would support minix...

[techtalk] Thanks to LinuxChix, a book was born!
[Crossposted with Deb's blessing to announce, grrltalk and techtalk. Apologies to those who have to delete it 3 times.] A few days after I subscribed to the LinuxChix lists, sometime in October or November of '99, I saw a message from an editor at a publishing company, looking for folks who wanted to write books. I actually got off my lazy rear-end and replied, and 5 months later a book was born! It was all very exciting. I wrote about PHP, this wacky cool scripting language that all of a sudden has taken the web development world by storm. (see http://www.php.net/ for more info on PHP) The book is called PHP Essentials, and you can read all about it, download the code in it, etc. at its supplementary web site: http://www.thickbook.com/ My primary goal was to write the kind of book that you could hold on your lap without bruising yourself, and a book that anyone could learn something from, not just someone with a degree or two in computer science (because I don't have one!). Ultimately, I wanted to write a book that someone could take off the shelf, skim through, and say, "Hey, this PHP thing looks like a neat language, and ever-so-easy to learn!" If you've been thinking about dabbling in programming and didn't know where to start, I suggest PHP, and I suggest this book. I'm just a little biased. The book is "learn by example", from installing PHP and a web server to "Hello World!" scripts and eventually database administration and e-commerce-y stuff. All in 386 pages or less, and it won't scare the hell out of you. I've earmarked a bunch of my free copies for LinuxChix readers, and I'm using the old "enter a quasi-weekly random drawing" approach to giving them away. If you're interested, please visit http://www.thickbook.com/lchx_survey1.phtml After you go off and learn PHP, remember that it is open source! As a bonus, the development community is really, really wonderful. You will _not_ find the "you're a girl, you can't play here!" mentality. Heck, people are even nice when someone says "I'm using PHP on Windows 95/98/2000/NT and IIS" :) PHP grows by leaps and bounds every day, because someone comes up with an idea for a function and someone else says "yeah!" and goes and does it. Or, Joe or Jane User is reading the annotated manual at php.net and finds a bug in the description or a something obscure and system specific...and adds their two cents instantaneously and for the betterment of us all. You can do that, too. Try it, it's fun! - Julie ++ | Julie Meloni | | Tech.

Synthentic fibers and delecate electronics do not mix. Completely off-topic for issues (I'm Cc'ing techtalk to take the discussion there), but if you want to wear synthetics (aka large static-charge source) without zapping all electronics, have a look at "washable computing": http://www.media.mit.edu/~rehmi/cloth/ In other words, if you have dresses (or any static-generating clothing) you like to wear but can't because of the static effects, sewing metallic thread into it might do the trick. Any place that carries embroidery thread should have at least a couple of spools of metallic thread; I prefer to use the ones that explicitly give a silver content. back to lurk mode I go... :-) Andrew. -- Andrew Plumb, VE3SLG mailto://andrew(at)plumb(dot)org http://www.plumb.org/tekmage/ spk2_0.0.2: http://www.plumb.org/tekmage/source/spk2/ ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
[techtalk] My scrit and the parameters are working, NOW: whiptail
I was looking for informations, but I do not know how to interpert the [ tag item status ] in the --checklist The man page say: --checklist text height width list-height [ tag item status ] ... A checklist box is similar to a menu box in that there are multiple entries presented in the form of a menu. Instead of choosing one entry among the entries, each entry can be turned on or off by the user. The initial on/off state of each entry is specified by status. On exit, a list of the tag strings of those entries that are turned on will be printed on stderr. I do not know, how I can create 5 items and how I get the selected list back. I need the output "apt-get install $list" where $list must be the packages list... If I know how to handel the stderr in scripts... Hey Pinguins, I am learning !!!

I'm not sure how you are setting up your web server, but, in general, use the ScriptAlias mapping directive within the sectional directive. Like so: ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /www/server/path/user/site/cgi-bin/ For example: ServerName www.usersite.net ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] DocumentRoot/www/server/path/user/site ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /www/server/path/user/site/cgi-bin/ ErrorLog/wwwlogs/logs/usersite/error_log # TransferLog /wwwlogs/logs/usersite/access_log TransferLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog /wwwlogs/logs/usersite/%Y-%m-%d" If this doesn't work, check to see if you have AddHandler cgi-script cgi Hope that helps, Erin 8) Erin Clarke, SysAdmin-y Type, Doer of Many Things ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

Why ??? If I use whiptail like whiptail --title "$Titel" --checklist "$Text" 15 40 10 0 "Midnight Commander" off 1 "Mouse support" off 2 "Dos-Tools" off It works !!! Whats wrong with it ??
