Scott, I'm not sure how long it'll take, but on my PII 400 w/320 Meg RAM, it takes about 8 hours to transcode 390 megabyte divx to 50 minutes of DVD. I have no idea how the long the MOV files will take. I do know you will get better results if you can use the original source file vs. the MOV. The best resource I found for this type of task is: http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/dvdauthor_howto.php This resource has been invaluable to me, and works well, though it is quite painstaking to follow.

Mozilla crashed like crazy for a new user, but was just fine for established users. What is really strange is that it "slowly" stabilized for the new user. What I did was: Remove the .mozilla directory for the new user to start fresh. Log into an established user account, startx, start mozilla. Open a terminal, sux - to new user (if you don't have sux installed, "xhost +" first, but do yourself a favor and install sux) type mozilla as new user. It worked! After this it worked a little better direct from the new user account, but still crashed. I repeated the above, except removing the .mozilla directory. After this it worked pretty much stable, (not sure, I may have gone through the above steps once more, again except for removing the .mozilla directory.) I'd love to file a bug report on this, but I have no idea where the problem is. I hope this works alright for you. Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I thought this afterwards, but it appears the attacker went away empty handed anyways. He was already logged out when I noticed the high load. He tried to kill the "t" program, but couldn't. I suspect he was somewhat inept (as was I with the pathetic password I assigned to the guest account!) in reviewing the logs and bash history, it becomes fairly easy to piece together.

I'm not even sure you need such a section. You can use
getmail through the MTA. e.g. here is my getmailrc:
[options]
verbose=1
readall=1
delete=1
message_log=~/.getmail/getmail.log
[retriever]
type=SimplePOP3Retriever
server=.xxx
username=x
password=
[destination]
type=MDA_external
path=/usr/sbin/exim4
arguments=("-bm","unixaccountname",)
I would think that this would then use exim's spam and
virus checking (I actually don't have that going
through exim.)
Perhaps I'm missing the point ... can spam and viruses
be rejected at SMTP time with fetchmail?
While I'm aware of no specific problem, I suppose that
this setup could lead to the reinjection ugliness
Benedict refers to.

In the setup printer dialog you /should/ be able to select Standard Command and pick your hp 710c Printer Queue from the dropdown list. I don't think you need to worry about the Printer Make / Printer Model section. If you don't have a print queue, you may need to install cupsys-bsd. My standard command is lp -s -d 'name_of_queue' Hope this helps. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can follow the instructions under "The Gimp" on http://www.linuxprinting.org/ppd-doc.html Basically, this involves selecting Adobe as the printer maker and PostScript Level 2 as the printer model. That should be about it ... Good Luck! Paul -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sounds like you're at the limit of the printer under
Linux. I have a 712c, and have the same empty space.
You could set up separate print queues at different
media sizes / print quality under cups, but I don't
think this printer line (710, 712, & 720) will ever be
fully supported under Linux. I later purchased an
Epson 785 EPX that prints beautifully under Linux.
Unfortunately, I seldom print, and the print heads
constantly clogged on me, so I gave the Epson away. The
712 always works, though for photos and artwork it
leaves something to be desired.
If you ever do find a better PPD or method of printing
from gimp-print, I would be interested in hearing about
it.
