Hi all, Sorry if this question seems odd. Is it possible to use syslinux to boot from a regular hard disk? I know that's exactly what grub, lilo etc. are doing, but I would really like to utilize the comboot option of syslinux. Are there LBA limitations to such a setup?

Hi all, I am wondering about the following suggested change: In isolinux.asm, line 50 (at least in my Debian patched version), add the line "hlt" inside the "DO_IDLE" macro. Explanation: When running isolinux on a vmware box, the boot menu takes up all available CPU. This change seems to solve this problem. I have read elsewhere that such a change will not go in, as the

Hi, I'm debugging an audio problem that started sometime post wine-20040505. That release works fine, but running under wine-20040615 the program fails. Looking at the Changelog for 0615 it says that 'lots of audio bugs were fixed'. Probably true, but it looks like one was created. So, how can I download Wine for a specific date? Say wine-20040525. I tried to figure out these

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding syncing of large files. We have a setup where we need to sync a 500GB file with changes in random blocks. The changes are made in a manner, so moving blocks is not probable (actually it will never happen). As I understand it, the way rsync works is: - remote server calculates all checksum blocks and transmits these to client - local client calculates

Hi folks, Are there any tricks known to let rsync operate on huge tar files? I've got a local tar file (e.g. 2GByte uncompressed) that is rebuilt each night (with just some tiny changes, of course), and I would like to update the remote copies of this file without extracting the tar files into temporary directories. Any ideas? Regards Harri

Dear All, I am very new in open source. Please give me some ideas on the following questions. What is the liscense of rsync for commerical use? Do I need to pay for commercial use? Is it still GPL? A similar case is MySQL. It has commercial liscense for business use. Any help will be appreciate! Thanks! Regards, Fred

Dear All, I have searched the email archive but i didn't find a clear answer(maybe I miss it) ^^ 1. Does rsync run on TCP/IP? 2. Without ssh, then rsync will be transferred in plain text? 3. Does rsync support Samba? Am I true to say that rsync, which is mainly on user authetication, is transparent to the storage like ftp? Any help to any questions will be appreciated! Thank You!

Hi Friends, I have started learning rsync source code but I am finding very difficult to go back and forth to find the execution flow. I could see that rsync code is written in UNIX and the compilation is difficult. Does anybody converted it into Windows Project so that we can open in using Visual Studio IDE and it will be very simple to search for some function and find the complete work flow.

Hi All, I am using rsync to backup our office server to our Internet server (RHE). As an association for doctors we are looking at providing a backup service for their practices using rsync. As it would be patient data it would need to be encrypted. I have found a few options, namely esync wurt rsyncrypto Does anyone have experience with the above and perhaps like to recommend one? On the

I am looking at add some code to the rsync tool but want to know if I am "totally out to lunch". I realize that my example is so trivial that I am sure I will get replies of "don't do it that way", but bear in mind that it is just an example, and there are real world cases where I think this functionality would be useful. I am trying to figure out if rsync can do

Hi,I am student at LUMS SSE (http://cs.lums.edu.pk) and an active RSync user. Just few days ago, Google wrote about Courgette*: an algorithm which is specially written for syncing executables. By using Courgette, Google made diff size 1/10th of previous techniques used. I was wondering if this (or something on same lines) can be used to optimize RSync? I am senior and have to do a project. I am

Hello to everybody, I have accidentally deleted my cachedmetrics file.

I acquired wine from source (version 20031118) just this morning, and I ran into some issues with an error stopping make in /dll/glu32/, the last few lines of the output: ------//------ rm -f libwine_unicode.so.1 && ln -s unicode/libwine_unicode.so.1 libwine_unicode .so.1 gcc -shared -Wl,-Bsymbolic,-z,defs glu32.spec.o glu.o glu32.dll.dbg.o -o glu 32.dll.so -L../../libs/wine

I thought rsync, would calculate checksums of large files that have changed timestamps or filesizes, and send only the chunks which changed. Is this not correct? My goal is to come up with a reasonable (fast and efficient) way for me to daily incrementally backup my Parallels virtual machine (a directory structure containing mostly small files, and one 20G file) I?m on OSX 10.5, using rsync

Is there a way to automate the rsync password or maybe disable? I am currently running rsync from a Windows command prompt and would like to run it from a .bat file. I have read through the config man pages but not sure if my ssh_config file is even being used. I tried passwordauthentication = no but it still asked for password. I have seen a option for --password-file= but I believe this does not

Hi, As per the subject line - if I look up setting up chroot jails for SFTP over SSH2 I'm led to various Web sites and patches and also to a CentOS wiki page dated 2005, but what's the 'best' or 'correct' way to set this up for Centos 4.5 and 5? Thanks
