Hi there, I'm beginner and would like to have mailing list archive to read it offline and don't disturb mailing list. I'd prefer mbox format.

Is there an RPM for this? I think it's in the kdeedu package on the FC6 DVD. My wife is an amateur astronomer and she uses this excellent program. If upstream isn't including it, can I get it and not break my CentOS 4.4 system? (Also, I'd like to migrate her and my daughter to CentOS). TIA, Lanny

I've got about 10,000 docs I'd like to devise a search/index for. I found a perl script called Perlfect that can do that on an old P3 but at the astronomical time of 7 hours. Another script(cgi/perl) at hotscripts can do the same but allows the "rm -rf /" exploit. DoH!? Is there anything perl/flatfile that can search/index faster? This is a nice job for an aging P3 in the corner so php/MySQL is not an option. Don't suggest beagle/w...

Hello, is't possible to get excerptions of data frame using some contstraints, something like q1 = q[q$V3<1] ?

...one were to try to port the Zap drivers to such a card? PCI, of course, would be the bus of choice. I think there are quite a few discouraging comments to be made on that question. Firstly, most companies that produce telecom hardware have silly overhead, and thus the price of their cards is astronomical. Secondly, most companies that produce telecom hardware are of the opinion that transcoding (compression) should be done via DSP's, which inflates the cost of the card significantly. Thirdly, most telecom hardware vendors would not consider allowing their drivers into the public domai...

...implementing an ISCSI storage infrastructure thats fully redundant and has no single point of failure. this requires the redundant storage controllers to have shared write-back cache, fully redundant networking, etc. The fiberchannel SAN folks had all this down pat 20 years ago, but at an astronomical price point. The more complex this stuff gets, the more points of potential failure you introduce. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz

...re is a lot of scatter in the data). I want to fit a normal distribution (i.e. a gaussian) to the data in order to find the center. (The data has a loose "normal" look to it.) I have done this with polynomial fitting in R with nls but want to try it with a Gaussian (I am a student astronomer and have not a lot of experience in statistics). In looking at the fitdistr function, it seems to take as input a bunch of x values and it will fit a gaussian to the histogram. That is not what I need to do, I want to fit a normal distribution to the x,y values and get out the parameters...

...width of the rectangel, other constraints may have to be imposed such as a, b <= 0.5 and/or 0.5 <= a/b <= 2.0 . The rectangle is allowed to touch the border of the square. For each new image the points will be identified by the application, like all stars of a certain brightness on an astronomical picture. So the task will have to be performed several times. I assume this problem is computationally hard. I would like to find a solution that is reasonably fast for n = 100..200 points. Exhaustive search along the x, y coordinates of the points will not be fast enough. I know this reque...

...'re saying is that I need for my project when doing with icecast 1.x - per 25-50 concurrent users one single server So problem is, if I wanted to handle, say 1000 streams, I would need 200 Servers..this puts the concept a bit in jeopardy because that would push the cost of the service into astronomical..in comparison to handling, as I had planned until now, 500 individual streams per server. So I guess I'll have to wait until Icecast 2 for doing a real prototype of this. Just so that I get this right - if I have 1000 different on-demand streams (its on-demand radio from huge mp3-libr...

Hi After a kickstart install how do you get a yum update to run as the final stage of the install? a 'yum update' in the %post does not seem to do anything at all - no errors just nothing? thanks

....networkupstools.org/source/2.6/nut-2.6.0.tar.gz.sig[signature] May I suggest that you also provide checksums for the tarball? I'm updating the FreeBSD port, and wanted to verify the SHA256 sum. As it's been downloaded from the NUT website, I know the odds of the source being tainted are astronomical, but if it's for a distribution, I thought I'd be extra cautious. As it is I've verified the GPG sig (never used it before) and used the computed SHA sum. Regards, John

Hi all, I have tried to install this beta release on PWS 433 au but I can not boot /kernels/vmlinux.gz image. Error is: "unsupported compressed image". Is not posible to install under this Alpha model?? Thank you. __________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo! Espacio para todos tus mensajes, antivirus y antispam ?gratis!

Hello I have an OS installation and data on a 40 gb drive that I would like to image to a 80 gb drive. I don't care if the resulting partition layout on the new drive is only 40 gb making me lose space. I just want to move everything from the older drive because I think it's failing. I have looked at partimage and mondo rescue as imaging solutions but both deal with partitions. CAn someone

Hello CentOS users, Is there any sort of package tracking system for CentOS? I'm used to Debian where I can view a changelog for each *Debian* specific package. This is great because I can see specifically what has been fixed and what known issues remain from release to release in the Debian package, which is subtly different from the upstream release. For instance, I can see
