RE: Lexar Secure Jumpdrives

Well this is at least partly not true. Linux did recognize the device and both the fat16 partition and the encrypted partition. Unfortunately, I played around with it and couldn't delete the partitions and rebuild it from inside Linux. I also managed to delete all files on the drive and can no longer access the hidden partition in Windows. Although, Linux now sees it as one fat16 partition and on Linux partition. I may have to google or call Lexar to find out how to wipe of the hidden partition. So what I have now is one Windows usable partition and 2 Linux usable partitions. Strange, fdisk and cfdisk both have no problem is deleting the partitions and creating a new one and saving the new partition table. But, once I exit fdisk or cfdisk it goes back to the way it was before. Brian Densmore

donating hardware to that daycare - update
by Oren Beck 21 Dec '04

21 Dec '04

Sorry if this seems redundant .- my files from the last attempt went up in electrons when Starband crashed- /me learned lesson and has offline backups of mail NOW - and we have new members since the last time I tried this - SO consider the rest of this as both second attempt and to the newcomer's a new project - thanks in advance ! Recently I attempted to organize collecting about 4- 6 systems for a not-for-profit daycare center . The person involved with it is a close friend of my family AND this is an opportunity to get the little ones exposed <infected> with Open Source systems in their mundane lives . Thinking of having the Penguin familiar to preschoolers ! SO any one wishing to transfer about half to 3/4 of a Geo Metro load of workable for preschoolers if we load Linux on it stuff ? Call me voice at 816-632-5710 or leave mail to coordinate this - I'd love to make this a xmas gift! An installfest may be premature ? concept is making these boxes be appliance operator Linux- Xandros seems a bit heavy footed or any suggestions ? The desired result is a " plug it in and use it " experience . MANY of the staff at this daycare have ZERO windows learning to unlearn so we have "fresh meat" Can we make anything of this project ?

Out-of-band OS installation
by Gerald Combs 20 Dec '04

20 Dec '04

I would like to build software packages for a variety of Linux distributions on the same computer. One way to accomplish this might be to have a directory hierarchy like the following: /dist /fecoracore1 /fecoracore2 /fecoracore3 /redhat80 /redhat90 /suse90 /suse91 where "redhat80" contained an entire Red Hat 8.0 distribution. It would then be a simple matter to chroot into one of the directories, update SVN, and start building. Assuming that I didn't want a separate partition for each distribution, how would I go about installing them? One way would be to install into a staging partition, then tar/rsync/pax/cpio'ing it into the preferred "dist" directory. I'd rather not have to bring the system down each time I install a target OS, however. Is there a standard method for doing an install similar to Solaris' "Live Update" for the different Linux distributions? This would be pretty straightforward under Gentoo, since its installer program is a bash prompt. Is such a thing possible with Red Hat, Fedora, or SuSE?

I want to get the debian dvd verion (because the only media i have is 1 dvd+r). However this is all i see in the directory that debian says to go to: [ ] MD5SUMS <http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/dvd/rc2/i386/MD5SUMS> 23-Nov-2004 21:23 1k [ ] MD5SUMS.sign <http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/dvd/rc2/i386/MD5SUMS.sign> 02-Dec-2004 23:18 1k [DIR] jigdotemplates/ <http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/dvd/rc2/i386/jigdotemplates/> 23-Nov-2004 21:23 - [ ] sarge-i386-1.jigdo <http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/dvd/rc2/i386/sarge-i386-1.jig…> 23-Nov-2004 21:23 197k [ ] sarge-i386-2.jigdo <http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/dvd/rc2/i386/sarge-i386-2.jig…> 23-Nov-2004 21:23 235k doesn't really look like dvd images to me, what am i suppose to do with .jigdo files?
