Great. Let's hassle the poor folks at DigiBoard. Then maybe we can get

ftp to ftp.wordperfect.com and cd into the directory:

UNIX/WP51/DEMOS/SCO

get the file sco.z. This is a compressed tar file. If you uncompress it

make a directory on you linux machine, and untar this file in that directory.

Dear netters,

another way to reach the linux dialogic users!
|

I am looking for the algorithm that can convert

the dialogic compressed voiceformat to the

original sample values.
|

They use something like ADPCM but it's their own

Is there any existing software that could do it for me?

Anyone who can help me?

|
|
|
|
Please remember that "Linux" is not Linus (I have nothing against Linus
|
|
personally). What I mean is that in its current form "Linux" is *much* more
|
|
than Linus could have achieved (probably) in the same time scale. It is
|
|
more a melting pot of team skills from around the world, and Linus, (most
|
|
likely one of the nicest people you are likely to meet), would wholeheartedly
|
|
agree.
|
|
|
|
Moreover in expectation with this good nature it would be likely that he
|
|
would decline your offer of money because it makes those people who cannot
|
|
afford to donate feel alienated (think of those countries where linux has
|
|
reached - Russia/India where a single dollar is still relatively quite a
|
|
significant amount). Furthermore it may lead to a scenario of donation
|
|
competition - (i.e. I gave more than you).
|
|
|
|
To solve some of these problems a trust-fund is being set up, (details to
|
|
be published), which will serve as center for donations. The aim of this group
|
|
will be to distribute money for books/software/hardware to the various linux
|
|
developers, (including this Linus guy whoever he is), and also GNU to whom
|
|
linux owes so much.

I got the same problem. When I tried to fsck the root file partition

Source code to xvnews is available from:

2.2.1 is indeed the last version, although 2.3 is currently being

plans to support reading articles directly from the spool area.

It'll also cause about ten times the load and take days longer - get the

a few files that were never moved to the HD but kept as a sym-link, even after
|
|
installing cd independent.
|
|
|
|
This bit me the first time I built the 1.1 (pl 50) kernel. I found make, a86,
|
|
and a few other odd things that were nessisary to still be linked to the cd.
|
|
The worst was, after the build and install of the image, one of the utilities
|
|
ran before lilo in their make-install target was still missing from the local
|
|
HD. I had a system which no longer booted (replaced system image but not
|
|
lilo'd).
|
|
|
|
After going back to a boot disk, finding the nessisary piece from the CD, and
|
|
doing a lilo with a hand-built lilo config file (my root mounted as the CD with
|
|
floppy boot), I was fine.
|
|
|
|
I like the slackware distribution and similar disk-image based distributions a
|
|
little better because I feel I have better control over what I get when I
|
|
install. With the yggdrasil, it's often all or nothing, and sometimes all is
|
|
not all. For example, I did not want X, but was stuck with it in the yggdrasil
|
|
distribution, and then had to prune it out.
|
|
|
|
If they could provide more menu choices up front offering finer control over
|
|
what they install as their base system, or provide a post-install utility
|
|
script which can 'trim' unwanted files from the HD (either re-symlink to the CD
|
|
or remove completely) such as, in my case, X from the base system, ada compiler
|
|
from gnu, etc, then I would be very happy with the Yggrasil distribution.

I am extremely interested if anyone knows for sure whether the ATI Mach 64
|
|
will be supported with the next release (3.1). I am about to purchase a
|
|
PCI video card and was leaning toward the Mach64. Anyone have any other
|
|
suggestions? I wish to use a PCI 64 bit card that supports Linux if
|
|
possible.

Subject: RFD: comp.os.linux reorganization
|
|
Date: 4 Oct 1994 17:03:48 -0400
|
|
|
|
REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)
|
|
comp.os.linux reorganization
|
|
|
|
Summary: A number of new groups in the comp.os.linux hierarchy are
|
|
proposed, one moderated, the rest unmoderated.
|
|
|
|
Proponent: Dave Sill, de5@ornl.gov
|
|
|
|
History: This proposed reorganization was prompted originally by the
|
|
excessive level of traffic in comp.os.linux.help. Following
|
|
a straw poll conducted by the proponent, an RFD was posted
|
|
for breaking comp.os.linux.help into various subgroups and
|
|
creating comp.os.linux.answers for separating the
|
|
documentation and announcements currently posted to
|
|
comp.os.linux.announce. During the discussion period, it
|
|
became evident that it would be preferable to create the
|
|
groups directly under comp.os.linux, rather than splitting
|
|
comp.os.linux.help. This RFD reflects that change.
|
|
|
|
1) Group: comp.os.linux.answers (moderated)
|
|
|
|
Charter: For posting Linux FAQs, How-To's, and READMEs. This will
|
|
help keep the traffic down in other c.o.l.* groups and will
|
|
leave comp.os.linux.announce for true announcements only.
|
|
C.o.l.answers will be moderated--either by a member of the
|
|
*.answers moderation team or by an independent moderator.
|
|
If no one else volunteers, I'd be willing to be the
|
|
moderator.
|
|
|
|
2) Group: comp.os.linux.games (unmoderated)
|
|
|
|
Charter: For questions and discussion about game playing under Linux,
|
|
e.g. Doom.
|
|
|
|
3) Group: comp.os.linux.hardware (unmoderated)
|
|
|
|
Charter: For questions and discussion specific to a particular piece
|
|
of hardware, e.g., "can this system run Linux?", "how do I
|
|
use this disk drive with Linux?", etc.
|
|
|
|
4) Group: comp.os.linux.networking (unmoderated)
|
|
|
|
Charter: For questions and discussion relating to networking or
|
|
communications including Ethernet boards, serial
|
|
communications, SLIP, etc.
|
|
|
|
5) Group: comp.os.linux.video (unmoderated)
|
|
|
|
Charter: For questions and discussion relating to video hardware or
|
|
software including XFree86, commercial X servers, svgalib,
|
|
console modes/fonts, dosemu, etc.)
|
|
|
|
After a discussion period of 21-30 days, if there are not overwhelming
|
|
objections to any of the proposed groups, there will be a Call For
|
|
Votes (CFV) posted to the groups as this RFD. The voting period will
|
|
be at least 21 days. Each group that passes, by receiving 100 more
|
|
YES votes than NO votes *and* twice as many YES votes as NO votes,
|
|
will be created.
