Dear,

"InetBoot for x86&x86_64 liveCD 
(Debian-Lenny-Beta1/Feora/Ubuntu/KNOPPIX/VMKnoppix)" is released.
  HP: http://openlab.jp/oscircular/inetboot/
  Guide-PDF: http://openlab.jp/oscircular/inetboot/InetBoot080925E.pdf
  Sample CD: 
http://ring.aist.go.jp/archives/linux/oscircular/iso/inetboot-20080925-us.iso

===
The InetBoot is a kind of Internet bootloader, which boots an OS from 
a LiveCD ISO file on the Web. We do not need to burn a CD-ROM for each liveCD.
The sample bootable CD (6.6MB) can boot:
  available x86 LiveCD
2 types of Debian Lenny Beta1 (KDE, GNOME)
2 types of Fedora (9,8) 
3 types of Ubuntu (804, 710, 704) 
1 types of KNOPPIX(531) 
1 types of VMKnoppix (Xen: 3.2.1) 
  available x86_64 LiveCD on InetBoot
2 types of Fedora x86_64 (9,8) 
1 types of Ubuntu x86_64 (804) 

### gPXE scripts ###
We offered gPXE scripts to boot InetBoot itself from the Internet.
gPXE, which is included syslinux (http://syslinux.zytor.com), is a Network 
Bootloader.
It can download a kernel and initrd from HTTP server and boot the OS.

=== Exmample to use gPXE scripts on the sample CD-ROM ===
Select "gPXE" at GRUB Menu and Move to shell mode of gPXE (Press "CTL+B" right 
after GRUB).
Execute the following commands on the shell to boot InetBoot.
 gPXE> dhcp net0
 gPXE> kernel http://www.inetboot.net/gpxe/debian-lenny-kde-beta1
 gPXE> boot
Afhter that the OS, which is designated by the gPXE script, will boot.
We offer the following gPXE scripts.
  http://www.inetboot.net/gpxe/debian-lenny-kde-beta1
  http://www.inetboot.net/gpxe/debian-lenny-gnome-beta1

Package: network-manager-gnome (does is it a backport?)

2008-09-25 Thread Daniele Cruciani
I got a number of messages from nm-applet like these:

Re: Ubuntu Policy: prefixes for multiples of units

IMHO it really wont. People buy things with MB and GB written on them
and there is no overriding truth about what those units mean in the real
world. People just know that a MB is fairly small and a GB is better.

Whether you use Megabytes, Megabits, Mebibytes or Margerine is
irrelevant, all of them are imprecise. A 512MB USB stick doesn't have
512 Megabytes, Mebibytes, Megabits, Megatrons, Megadons or anything
else. It just has something around 512MB, less filesystem overheads,
partitioning overheads, etc.
People put data onto it until it's full.

Keeping our units as consistent as possible means that the vaguely
meaningful numbers will mostly mean the same things whenever people see
them. Consistency is good. Simplicity is good.

Cheers,

Your nm-apple isnt in sync with your NetworkManager daemon running. At
best be sure that you have upgraded to latest and then restart your
system.

you can stop and then start NM and also restart the applet.

In Intrepid, JeOS has been superseded by the minimal install option on
the server CD that I mentioned above.

Now that RC2 has been out a couple of days, and that
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease30 states that they
are currently shooting for final release on Oct. 7 rather than 20, is
there any news on this front?  Granted, it's still very tight, but at
least looks more promising.  Meanwhile, default or not, I still don't
see OOo3 packaged and in the Intrepid repos at all, which scares me a
lot.  Any progress on that portion?
