That's a good question. I can easily get the directory tree, but the filenames, permissions and symlinks would be smashed. Where are the .iso images???

Quickies time
by James Green 28 Apr '99

28 Apr '99

* List: alug(a)stu.uea.ac.uk Hi all, Quick update: I forgot to enquire about trains last night but will do so in next 24hrs. I now have three TDK CD-R discs to master. Being on a uni NT4 machine I need .iso mages of RH6.0, Debian and Caldera so ucol has a plea for local (ac.uk) mirrors for these. Respond please! I can get more CD-Rs from my housemate, although at what price I don't know; the TDKs I got from our ESE stores cost GBP1.20 each. Rip off. Due to problems getting Apache/PHP3 running here plus university work I haven't managed much on the website as yet. Bear with me on that one; but I do at least have an ugly first draft using SSI/PHP3 which grabs /. and freshmeat headlines purrrfectly :) I may be seeing someone (another student) to come along. I forgot and told him it was Saturday not Sunday and he said he couldn't make it. I'll correct him if I see him - he's a Londoner so it would be a while-at-uni arrangement I think ;-) Oh, and could someone do a demo of GIMP at the meeting? I'm a Photoshopper and I'd quite like a conversion course... GIMP-1.1.4 crashes quite quickly here. Also, a look at X equivs of oft-used Windows apps could be useful - a feature I'd like to develop on for the website. Particular emphasis on Office apps, mail and news I think. Tin "sucks" as they say in #linuxhelp. Right, I got a few wired probs here with Linux, plus a Java assignment to do for Friday, so I'd better hop to it. Best wishes, James Green GNOMEified and Enlightened.
