woody still missing a bunch of packages?

2001-03-07 Thread Mathew Johnston
It looks like woody is still missing lilo, passwd, slang1 and some other packages. Is there an ETA for these packages? Earlier today there were a lot more missing packages, but tonight they were back. Where are the rest? :) Mathew Johnston

samba / smbmount problems

share. If I tried to get a directory listing or change to the smb moutned directory, it would say input/output error. Has anyone seen this sort of problem before? I'd like to use samba, as I dont think that nfs is really very well supported in windows. Ideas? :) Thanks, Mathew Johnston

Re: OT: what's the point of mp3's?

2000-08-09 Thread Mathew Johnston
hear anyway. MP3 gets what is it... 1:10 compression or so on a wave? gzip would get much less. Also, mp3 can be decompressed as needed where you'd have to totally unpack with gunzip and then play. Unless... someone wants to write a sort of streaming gunzip engine :) Mathew Johnston Krzy

I've been lookin in the docs, and I cant find any info on how to do this... I want to stop X from listening on a particular interface... or even stop it from listening on any tcp port at all. I'd prefer that it just use a unix socket or something - something non public. Any ideas? Tha
