The scanner is an HP 3550 all-in-one and I am using 'scanimage'. The
--mode line-art setting does not seem to help, and I do need a
reasonable resolution to that the scan is readable (I use --resolution
300). The size is basically fixed of course.

Good bye
by Karl Larsen
I did a temporary setup of Ubuntu and started playing with it. I
signed up for their technical list and have talked with some very smart
people. Right now I am getting my little tv camera working with Skype. I
just talked to another Ham in GA on PSK31.
These guys are not IT people for a company, they are Ubuntu users.
We get along just fine. I think the entire Fedora setup is bad. You must
like to fix your operating system to fit in. Change is the name of the
game.
Well Ubuntu has arrived. It works in ways Fedora will never
understand. Good Bye.

Re: Good bye

I just knew the moment I read Karl's original post this was going to turn into a flame thread of epic proportions.
Too bad he felt compelled to say good bye at all, and didn't merely disappear quietly.

Missing a wireless / WPA piece
by Terry Polzin
Folks;
I'm configuring a new laptop, I've gotten over the hurdles of firmware and
WPA-PSK is working as long as I iwconfig the essid onto the interface.
On my previous laptop, something prompted me for a passphrase to allow access
into the WPA-PSK protected network after I had wpa_supplicant configured I
just have no idea what package it was I had always figured it to be part of
wpa_supplicant.
Can anyone fit another piece into the puzzle.
Thanks,
Terry

impossible chroot
by Simona Flavoni
Hi to everyone,
I've some problems with my fedora4 and my disks.
In some cases my disk, after rebboting, told me to enter root password
to make filesystem check. I did it and then I made a copy of the disk
with knoppix, to be sure that my datas are not lost.
But in this way second disk wasn't bootable, so with fedora cd rescue I
want to make chroot and then grub-install, but unfortunately when I
started rescue cd it says that is some problems with my disk and I had
to do chroot on /mnt/sysimage (I ever do in this way to do grub-install
on a new disk).
But when I typed chroot /mnt/sysimage it says that it was impossible,
and so I can't have a bootable cd, even if there is everything there (I
can look it with another disk, like a second disk I can see everything
that's there, or I can mount my /dev/sda1 on a /mnt/problem)
How can I do? I can do bootable a disk with another procedure?
Thank a lot,
simona

Reducing size of scanned pages
by R. G. Newbury
I am scanning old files and papers for archiving (and shredding the
paper). In the past, under OS/2, I could convert the original scans from
24 bit color to one bit black and white scans by converting to dcx
format (and back to jpg). This reduced the image file from 1MB to abojut
55-60KB.
Can anyone suggest a similar sort of conversion methodology which I can
use on Fedora? I have no idea what programs are available which might be
capable of these sorts of conversions.

iowait using all my CPU after suspend
by William Murray
My laptop suspends/resumes using fglrx. Good.
But on resume it is often incredibly unresponsive.
The 'system monitor' applet shows CPU 100% busy, nearly all in 'IO
wait'
mpstat claims iowait is 7%, idle 59%.
I don't know what I am doing, but I google-guess:
ps -eo pid,tid,class,rtprio,ni,pri,psr,pcpu,stat,wchan:14,comm | grep D
PID TID CLS RTPRIO NI PRI PSR %CPU STAT WCHAN COMMAND
