DVD burning - mkisofs max size allowed
by A. Lanza 14 Dec '05

14 Dec '05

Hi list, i'm trying to burn a DVD using k3b, as i usually do for CD burning. I'm using 4,7GB size DVD-R. The problem is that i cannot burn a 4,4GB. file. The file is exactly 4,613,704,668 bytes long. The message i get from k3b is the following: /usr/bin/mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type and then File <file> is too large - ignoring It seems like the problem is the file size, but that file should fit in a DVD, shouldn't it? Is there any limit in the size of files written to DVD? Thanks, Alf

It appears to be supplied by your ISP, because telnet showed: Sawtooth Technologies, LLC Stevenson, WA Unauthorized Access is Prohibited gw-sawtooth.pdx.rain.net 98.10.20-0 For Service Call +1 509 427-4865 Sawtooth Technologies Ether 204.119.0.254 PL/DHGL/109201/ELG 204.119.4.30 So you may need to call them to get the password or to forward port 22 for you. --Stewart

What microsoft has to say about XP
by Dotan Cohen 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

I think that more people mould move away from WIndows if they read the notices on the microsoft website: "The simple act of visiting an Internet site can be extremely damaging to the system" from: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en… Important to note that the article quoted's purpose is to convince the user to create and use a standard account, and not the system's default Administrator account. What this means is that the system's default beaviour is to make the simple act of visiting an internet site extremely damaging to the system. Why on earth would people use such an OS?

FC3 on external PCMCIA/USB disk (success)
by Michael J Gruber 17 Oct '05

17 Oct '05

Hi everyone, I'm using an external USB disk, with the USB 2.0 controller being a PCMCIA card. FC3 installed happily on this disk, alas it didn't boot quite as happily from it. (Of course, I have grub on a /boot partition of the internal IDE drive.) Earlier Fedora versions came with the pcinitrd script of pcmcia-cs which facilitated the creation of initrds for booting with PCMCIA, FC3 doesn't have it. Documentation one gets from googling mostly refers to 2.4 kernels, where one has to hack /linuxrc to include cardmgr... After experimenting a while with hacking /linuxrc and /init, I found out that mkinitrd (which comes with FC3) already does the job, as long as one is aware of the timing problem: PCMCIA and USB need some time to come up before devices will be recognized. Also, minitrd's option --with-usb always puts usb modules before modules you specify with --with=, which is a bad thing in this case. So, just put the usb modules after the pcmcia modules, using --with=usb-storage etc. mkinitrd includes a "sleep 5" after loading usb-storage, and this does the trick. If enough people are interested I'll write up some more details. Michael

FC3 and 440GX
by Alex F. Evonosky 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Anyone know why FC3 is not working on an Intel 440GX anymore? FC1 did not work, yet FC2 did (and PERFECTLY); yet FC3 is doing the same thing FC1 did.. Detects the AIC 7xxx SCSI drives, then hangs... Basically states "no hard drives found"; when FC2 is actually on the drives. lspci shows: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 440GX - 82443GX Host bridge 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 440GX - 82443GX AGP bridge 00:02.0 PCI bridge: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21152 (rev 03) 00:07.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02) 00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) 00:07.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) 00:07.3 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02) 00:08.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 24) 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 30) 00:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 02) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro AGP 1X (rev 5c) 02:04.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AHA-2940U2/U2W / 7890/7891 02:06.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7860 (rev 03) 02:0a.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 80960RP [i960 RP Microprocessor/Bridge] (rev 03) 02:0a.1 I2O: Intel Corp. 80960RP [i960RP Microprocessor] (rev 03) Thanks!
