Barak Cables over PPTP

2004-01-03 Thread Ittay Dror
Hi everyone, I'm trying to setup a dialer to Barak over PPTP (and Ethernet). Does someone have a ready-made script (for Mandrake 9.1) so that I don't have to mess with it myself? Also, instructions for how to make a connection sharing (not a gw) so another computer can use its own dialer will b

I have a Half Height AGP card... After much searching, I recently bought an ATI radeon 9200SE half-height AGP card, made by club3d/powercolor. It came with a replacable bracket for the half-height mode and has a tv-out (composite :( - yuck ) . Look for it on zap.co.il - it's not hard to find, I

first, ntfs is a unicode filesystem, file names are saved in unicode. in linux, the high level layers are supposed to decide whether saving in 8 bit, 16 bits,utf8 or even utf16. The kernel does not care about it. It's GLIBC's work to do that. If you have GLIBC > 2.2, you should start mounting

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that people use UTF-8 filenames yet. A small test I've made shows that even KDE saves hebrew filenames in a non-unicode form. I think that Windows behaves in a similar way. On Sat, 2004-01-03 at 15:20, Behdad Esfahbod wrote: > On Sat, 3 Jan 2004, Oren

Hi, xmms is the last software left where I have to read hebrew backwards. I'm waiting for the gtk2 port for quite a long time and it won't go out, but apparently I'm not alone. Beep Media Player (BMP in short) is a fork from the xmms tree which already implements gtk2, and works pretty fine (with

Hetz: thanks for the info. As for the version of the driver, it may be stable for you, but I'm not sure it would be stable for me. So I'll ask at the forums, IRC channel, etc. The rest of the crowd: the Nvidia card came prepackaged with the computer, and I can't talk my father into replacing with
