Of course not - last thing I heard nobody was giving away USB sticks for
free yet. ;-)
 

You are not going to find one, since USB sticks cost money. Most
distributions do however have the necessary tools for creating a
USB-stick-based GNU/Linux distribution, and some may even have
preconfigured and automated utilities to do such a thing for you.
 

Google is your friend.
 

Then you didn't look well enough. ;-)
 

Well, good luck with that then. The 2.6 kernel doesn't even fit on a
floppy anymore, so you'd be stuck with an old kernel, which may not
support all of your hardware. For instance, I don't even know whether
2.4 supports SATA hard disks.
 

If they are floppy-based, then they will certainly not hold any decent
antivirus software, given the size of such software suits.
 

Then why even consider it? ;-)
 

That is not what it was designed for, but in theory, you should be able
to make a bootable USB stick with the contents of that CD, yes. On the
other hand, you'd be far better off with a more complete distribution,
e.g. Knoppix.
 

I can't really help you with that. I've only used it once or twice, in
order to detect hardware errors on one of my machines.
 

Yes, that is what I wrote higher up already. You'd be far better off
with a "real" distro. There are several live-CD based distros, and
other distros allow you to make a live-CD with a few simple
mouseclicks, or a bootable USB stick. Look here and see whether you
can find something to your liking:

http://www.distrowatch.com
 

They will probably not have such scanners "on board", so you'd have to
add them yourself. The simpler the base you start from, the more work
you'll have at producing a bootable USB stick with a working distro
*and* a virus scanner.
 

USB sticks and floppy disks are not "embedded Linux". Embedded
(GNU/)Linux is what you find in routers, cellphones and satnav systems,
i.e. the "system on a chip" approach. Such systems usually don't come
with antivirus software, and most of the time those devices are
configured to not work as if they are complete UNIX systems.

For instance, a Linksys WRT router has a Linux-based system in firmware,
but other than approaching it via a webbrowser to make a few changes to
the settings, you can't do much with it, since the device was never
designed for any other purposes than being a router. Alternative
firmware downloads do exist, but they really *are* alternative, i.e.
you'd have to install it yourself. And for your intended purposes, the
issue is moot.

Virtualization : Clarification needed on Xen Hypervisor

Posted: 23 Dec 2009 02:44 AM PST

On Wednesday 23 December 2009 11:44 in comp.os.linux.setup, somebody
identifying as bzaman wrote...
 

That's how Wikipedia describes it. :p However, I prefer using different
nomenclature myself. I call the above-mentioned "type 1"
a "hypervisor", and the "type 2" a "virtual machine monitor".
 

Okay. ;-)
 

This is no longer required. As of Linux 2.6.30, the kernel supports use
on the bare metal, as a privileged Xen guest (dom0) or as an
unprivileged Xen guest (domU), all in the same kernel image. The
kernel will detect in which cirstances it is being booted.

The "kernel-xen" packages are probably 2.6.18 kernels which have been
patched with Xen compatibility by Xen.org themselves, because back at
the time of that kernel generation, Linux did not support
paravirtualization yet.
 

That's the actual hypervisor itself.
 

Not "host", but "privileged guest". The dom0 kernel runs on top of Xen
and is bootstrapped as a module to Xen when the machine boots, but it
too is virtualized. The bootloader actually loads Xen instead of
loading a Linux kernel, and Xen then loads and boots the dom0 kernel
via the "module" statement in "/boot/grub/menu.lst".
 

The unprivileged guest does not run on top of the dom0 kernel, but
*alongside* of it, on top of the Xen hypervisor itself. If it is a
paravirtualized guest, then its hardware access is relayed onto
back-end drivers in dom0, but under control of the hypervisor, as even
dom0 is a virtual machine and its operations are scheduled by Xen.

If the machine has hardware virtualization extensions, then the
unprivileged guest can be an unmodified operating system, and in that
case, Xen emulates certain hardware and traps the unmodified operating
system's hardware accesses with assistance from the virtualization
hardware.
 

No, that is incorrect. That which you are running in the dom0 GNU/Linux
virtual machine is "xend", a daemon which hooks into the hypervisor and
allows you to boot domU virtual machines and resize their memory in
realtime, among other things. It also helps in live-migrating a
running virtual machine to another physical computer which also runs
Xen - provided that you're not trying to move a 64-bit virtual machine
to a 32-bit physical machine, of course.
 

Xen runs on the bare metal, and that which is quite often mistakingly
called "the host" is in fact a virtual machine in itself, but it is a
privileged virtual machine. It is privileged because it has access -
via the xentools package, not via its own operating system tools - to
the memory of the unprivileged virtual machines, i.e. it can start and
stop unprivileged virtual machines via the xentools, and it
can "inflate" the memory of the unprivileged virtual machine via the
so-called "balloon driver".

The privileged virtual machine is also the primary "driver domain". It
contains back-end drivers for all the hardware, and the unprivileged
paravirtual guests contain front-end drivers, which are an abstraction
layer and which relay the hardware access onto the back-end drivers in
dom0, via the hypervisor. It is however possible to hide certain
physical hardware from dom0 so that it can be directly accessed via a
real driver from within an unprivileged guest, making this unprivileged
guest into an additional "driver domain". Yet all virtual machines run
directly on top of Xen, including dom0 itself.

Well, yes and no... It's a restriction of the legacy real mode BIOS
code and MS-DOS. Because of the required backward compatibility with
DOS and the DOS-based Windows versions - which were still being sold up
until the year 2000 - this is still being used today.

By design, any x86 processor - even x86-64 - default to the
DOS-compatible real mode at power up, and usually it's the
bootstrapping code in the operating system's kernel which sets up the
pagetables and descriptor tables and switches the processor in
protected mode.

On the other hand, machines with an EFI BIOS - such as the Intel-powered
MacIntosh - or a CoreBoot (a.k.a. LinuxBIOS) have a BIOS which switches
the processor into protected mode itself. Such systems then require a
special protected mode bootloader and a kernel without real mode
boostrapping code. Such machines can make use of a whole new
partitioning system which allows for up to 128 primary partitions per
disk.
 

Ehm, you are confusing a few things. An extended partition is not the
same thing as ext3, which is a *filesystem.* Also, Solaris - at least
on its native (Ultra)SPARC hardware - uses a kind of EFI BIOS, as do
MIPS machines with IRIX and machines with an Intel Itanium processor.
 

Not yet. ;-) The "no more than 4 primary partitions" is a limitation of
the x86 platform with a legacy BIOS. Non-x86 machines or x86 machines
with EFI or CoreBoot can use 128 primary partitions.

That said, there is an additional limitation for SAS/SCSI/SATA/USB hard
disks and PATA hard disks addressed via the new /libata/ drivers, i.e.
all disks that appear as "/dev/sd?". Such disks or even arrays of
disks can only make use of 15 partitions per disk, even if there are
more partitions than that - primary or extended is irrelevant. This
limitation exists because of programming confinements in the Linux
kernel SCSI midlayer, but it has nothing to do with the SCSI hardware
itself, whether used on x86 or on another hardware platform.

There have been several comments over the years about the single undo of
Project. I don't recall for sure, but the level of undos "might" be
expanded in Project 12. Nonetheless, what it means for existing versions
is that the user must be careful and perform regular saves and/or

Most disappointing is the inability to do timescaled representation of a

I use Microsoft  2007 and  I have a problem when I use the Microsoft equation editor. When I type an equation many mathematical symbols ( { ,-, ] ;.....) do not appear on my screen. This problem is not related to the version of Microsoft office that I use because this problem doesn't occur in another PC with the same version. If it is related to the editor itself, How can I uninstall it.

How to create a dictionary for an unsupported language in Word

Posted: 08 Mar 2015 04:36 AM PDT

The custom dictionary is an addendum to the main one, that is, it refers to a language that already exists. But what if I want to add a new dictionary for a language that is not listed by Word?

WORD "disappeared" from my Dell

Posted: 08 Mar 2015 03:11 AM PDT

I purchased MS Word with my Dell computer when I ordered it online. It worked fine for a while and then the program just disappeared. I did not lose any saved work, and the WORD icon is still present. When I click on the icon though, it takes me to a screen where I have the option to buy WORD or if I have a 25 character key or active MS account I can "sign in" or use the key to access WORD, but I don't have the key. The only MS account I have is for XBox, and it won't accept that.

Has anyone encountered this? Any suggestions?

Microsoft Word 365 not responding, locks document

Posted: 07 Mar 2015 04:51 PM PST

When creating a Word document in 365 the application freezes and I have to force it closed. Upon reopening, the document is locked "In use by another user". This requires a reboot to access the document again. Anyone out there know what's going on with this? I've had so much trouble with 365 I'm about ready to ask for a refund. I have to get my work done and cannot continuously reboot.

Trouble with non-ASCII characters over SSH. Help, please!

Posted: 30 Oct 2009 01:01 PM PDT

* Unruh <ubc.ca>: 

Agreed except ssh might be part of the solution, explained below.
 

There are ssh configuration options for client and server for passing on
environment variables. I was thinking of this earlier having recently
read about it in another discussion but could not clearly recall it at
the time of my reply

Quoting ssh_config(5):

SendEnv
Specifies what variables from the local environ(7) should be sent
to the server. Note that environment passing is only supported
for protocol 2, the server must also support it, and the server
must be configured to accept these environment variables. Refer
to AcceptEnv in sshd_config(5) for how to configure the server.
Variables are specified by name, which may contain the wildcard
characters '*' and '?'. Multiple environment variables may be
separated by whitespace or spread across multiple SendEnv direc-
tives. The default is not to send any environment variables.

Quoting sshd_config(5):

AcceptEnv
Specifies what environment variables sent by the client will be
copied into the session's environ(7). See SendEnv in
ssh_config(5) for how to configure the client. Note that envi-
ronment passing is only supported for protocol 2. Variables are
specified by name, which may contain the wildcard characters '*'
and '?'. Multiple environment variables may be separated by
whitespace or spread across multiple AcceptEnv directives. Be
warned that some environment variables could be used to bypass
restricted user environments. For this reason, care should be
taken in the use of this directive. The default is not to accept
any environment variables.

Apache doesn't have permissions to access the main account root

then it's safer to keep it as the global Apache user like you have it
now. And, no, chmod 0602 will not give permission on a directory, even
if the owner is set to the Apache user. For a file it would work at
600, if it's the right owner (read and write), but directories need to
be higher (700 at least, if it's the same user for read, write and

% Completed vs. % Estimated

Posted: 21 Feb 2006 10:56 PM PST

Absolutely, Rod. A more basic item that many Newbies shol dunderstand is the
dofference between % Complete and % Work Complete. In your explaination of
updating the Duration, versus updating the Work, the two different fields
will soon "go out of alignment" with one another. It confuses many people
when they don't understand that:

% Complete - tracks progress through the task's DURATION
% Work Complete - tracks progress toward completion of WORK

There is also a third field called "Physical % Complete". it is an
alternative field that can be used to calculate BCWP for EVM. The
description of this field and recommended use is clearly described in the PSm
2003 Help files.

How do I create a time-phased budget in MS project?

corina,
Some might say that the Baseline Cost field is the budget but it kind of
depends on how you view a "budget".

I suggest you set up your plan complete with resources. The original
estimated cost will be the Cost field and this would be treated as the
budget. When it is all set up, go to Tools/Tracking/Save Baseline and
save a baseline for the entire project. Project then captures all the
data in the Cost field and saves it in the Baseline Cost field so it can
be used for earned value calculations or any other comparative ysis.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I figured out what I was doing wrong. It has to do
with some people working an 8 hour day and some people working a 6.4 hour day
on the same calendar. I just messed up the time allocation so that it always
seemed to just be over 1.00 days of work.

Using Project for manufacturing

Posted: 21 Feb 2006 09:29 AM PST

The great advantage Project has for Custom manufacturers is distributed (web kiosk)
task sheets and status updates in the Server version. Many full scale Manufacturing ERP systems
don't even include this, while some can achieve it via bar scanning as a data colection point. Custom often
means a whole lot of unknows (and worse cowboys running through your plant playing hero to keep their customers happy,
and everybody else) so if you can find out the reality of your present situation you can make good scheduling
decisions with bottom line company wide impact of those decisions.
An offshoot of capturing the ebb and flow of work on the shop floor is that with a simple coding system, any cost
evaluation is a data query away. This can blend with existing process/material/production/sales systems already in place.

Job A had 5 hours framing-2 hours finishing-1 hour packing. This is a simple audit after the production of Job A has been completed.
This then becomes your actual hours vs. quoted hours(revenue or operational)....mix that with the materials per Job A and voila,
done.
All enabled by real time recording of actuals from the shop floor on
task completion,
task change,
end of shift.

The closer you can get to real time status the more accurate and better performance the shop will have
because true limits to production are easy to spot. This discipline lets cost calculations be a non issue.
Just go use the information you had to gather anyway in order to time the events of transforming "materials and work" into
"product:"

So Project does the same thing as Project server, you would just need a way to record the actual status of the shop floor
and get it into the files. (Clipboard and running shoes come to mind).

Duration of task & subtask, assigned to resources % of their time

Posted: 20 Feb 2006 09:29 PM PST

A project produces a specific output. The duration of a project (and the
tasks within it) is whatever time it takes to produce that output. The more
resources you have and the harder they work, the less time it will take to
produce that output with the rare exception of physical processes that take
a specific time, like the time it takes concrete to harden. The planning
process is one intended to help you get the required output completed in the
shortest time and lowest consistent with the quality objectives you need to
achieve.

Notice that my focus here is on the output. You don't start with a defined
block of time - 3rd quarter of 06, for example - and then fill it up with
activity. Instead you start with the knowledge that you have to generate a
marketing plan that involves shooting 6 30-second TV commecials, placing
weekely ads in 15 national magazines, and hosting a customer appreciation
conference in the Bahamas. When you sit down with project, you're seeking
to answer the question "If I start the whole process next next Monday, when
should I tell the production company to start shooting the 4th ad in the
series, when should I schedule the meeting with the ad agency to finalize
selecting the photos for the print campaign, and what dates do we need to
reserve at the hotel in the Bahamas?" When you input what is essentially
the flow chart of the process of the campaign along with your estimates of
how much work each step of the process will require, MS Project calculates
those dates for you. Note that the purpose is not to doent dates that
are predetermined. Rather it is to compute dates that are NOT yet known.
You have certain targets that are known, true enough, but Project's job is
not to list the targets, it's to help you figure what concrete steps you
must take to achieve those targets.

How to retrive Calendar variantions from Microsoft Project

Posted: 20 Feb 2006 04:57 PM PST

Thank You John for acting on it so quick.
sorry for the insufficient information.
i am taking to the Microsoft objects using its disinterfaces. or
fvMSApplication := CreateOleObject('MSproject.Application');
ie. i am not getting data from database or xml.

My application has the similar objects as in the microsoft project. I
am populate my objects properties with Microsoft Project Objects
properties.
The application is really fast when i am getting project, task,
resource objects and its properties. but when it comes to the Calendar
object to get Variations to it i have to go thought loop which checks
if the day is different than the regular wroking calendar hours:

the loop is something like this:


LIDiff:=
DaysBetween(LMicrosoftProjectStartDate,LMicrosoftP rojectStopDate);

for Ly:= 0 to LIDiff+1 do
begin
LDate:= LStartDate;
LDayOfTheWeek:= DayOfTheWeek(LDate);
DecodeDate(LDate,LStartOfYear,LStartOfMonth,LStart Ofday);

LvDay:=
LvMicrosoftCalendar.Years[LStartOfYear].Months[LStartOfMonth].Days[LStartOfday];

{--Add Holidays--}
AddVariationIfMSDayIsHoliday(LvDay,LDayOfTheWeek,L Date); //This
function checks if the day is working or not
{--Add Exceptinal Working Days--}
AddVariationIfMSDayIception(LvDay,LDayOfTheWeek ,LDate); // This
function checks if the wroking day has differnt shift timings

LStartDate:= LStartDate + 1; //increment Date

end;

And to get working time information i am getting it by accessing
Microsoft SHIFT object from the Microsoft Day object.

Although this loop works but it takes tremendous amout of time as
every resorce also has calendar variations or exceptions and i need to
get them as well.
Thank again for your time.
I am only a junior programmes so in case if i have described something
wrong please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi,

As Matt sayd you cannot create many-to-many relationships in CRM. There are
some 3rd party tools which allow customers to do this (with some
limitations). Check out the tools of C360 or Salentica. But you won't be able
to report on these relationships using Crystal Reports (you should be able to
do so with Sql Reporting Services).

Microsoft CRM 3.0 - Is it multi-currency?

Posted: 18 Oct 2005 05:13 AM PDT

Nigle, One of my clients has been very happy with Experlogix.
http://www.experlogix.com/

In addition to handling multi-currency (quoting, opportunities too),
they also handled their custom requirement to do discounting at the
opportunity level, AND they make it MUCH easier to select multiple
products (probably save a dozen or more clicks per product add) by
letting you create one page where you can select all of your products
(you first select the category, then products can be grouped by
'service, warranty', etc.)

And the support has been good, too. HTH,

Customer Service with MS CRM

Posted: 18 Oct 2005 03:49 AM PDT

Rap,

The CRM 3.0 workflow tool is better, but it will still take a fair
amount of work to make it 'redirect to alternate paths after
diagnostic'. As you can now customize activities in 3.0, you should be
able to add expense tracking information to a task, e.g..

If you need to "keep a precise track", then you'll need VAST (Visionary
Audit System Tools, keep track of all changes made to incidents, etc.).
(By the way, VAST 1.2 is available until CRM and VAST 3.0 are released
for just $99/user, including 1 yr. maint.)

The web is still pretty much an unknown. Some ISV's have created web
portals, but MS has never publicly talked about the licensing issues.
Hopefully, that will be part of the long awaited 3.0 pricing
announcement... HTH,

Dave
