DVD Printing: How did I make it work? :-)
by Tom Horsley
http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/dvdp/dvd-success.html
is the tale of my success at getting a DVD to print
without (finally) any clipping of the image.
I did it by fiddling with the ImageableArea def in
the .ppd file, but clearly nothing I did makes any
sense out of the ImageableArea definition in the ppd
specification doc.
Anyone out there know what ImageableArea actually
means to the driver? It clearly interacts in more
ways than just clipping.
(All this was done of fedora 12 by the way).

installing Python 3 on f11?
by Robert P. J. Day
(i just asked about this on the test list but it seems that it's
equally appropriate here.)
any problems with installing python-3.1.1 side-by-side on a fedora
11 system, and having programmers invoke it with an explicit reference
to "python3"?
just for fun, i grabbed :
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.1.1/Python-3.1.1.tar.bz2
unloaded it under my home directory, found out quickly that i needed
to install tk-devel, tcl-devel and libsqlite3x-devel, did that, then
-- following the README -- ran
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make test
the only glitches were, during the test step, the occasional
diagnostic that a test was being skipped because some resource wasn't
enabled, such as:
...
test_codecmaps_cn
test_codecmaps_cn skipped -- Use of the `urlfetch' resource not enabled
...
beyond that, things seemed to work, after which i'd normally run
# make install
if anyone else has gone down this road, any warnings? and any hint as
to how to get that 'urlfetch' resource? there doesn't appear to be
anything in the configure step that enables or disables that, and that
diagnostic shows up several times, albeit not fatally.
in any event, can installing python-3.1.1 like this cause any grief
with the current system? it's mostly for people who want to start
programming in python, and it seems to make sense to start them off
with python 3.

Simple Network Question: Part 2
by Dennis Mattingly
I have (another) simple question involving my router.
Is this a Linux Bug, or simply a Bad Router?
1) My internet is perfect (normal setup)
2) Plug my computer internet directly into ethernet router
3) $ ping 192.168.1.1
network is unreachable
So, is this my router, do I need to turn-off network manager, Linux bug,
what next?
Thanks in advance

cp: reading 'file' : Input/output error
i took the volume it was on offline, & did a forced
e2fsck. same thing.

by Jim
FC11-X86_64/KDE.
How do I setup a Samsung CLX-3170 Scanner in FC11 ?
I went to Sane.com no help on this scanner.
I googled FC11 , Samsung CLX-3170 04e8:342a scanner setup, no help
there, plenty vendors wanting to sell me one.
I need to know what files in saned I need to setup.
Samsung said it will work in Sane in Linux.
# scanimage -L
No scanners were identified.
# sane-find-scanner

Combining CD ISO images into DVD ISO image
by Manuel Castro
I have five Red Hat 8.0 CD ISO images and I want to combine them into a DVD
ISO image using the following command in the kernel version 2.6 of fedora
11:
mkisofs -o Psyche-i386-dvd.iso
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table
-R -m TRANS.TBL
-x Psyche-i386-disc1/.discinfo -x Psyche-i386-disc1/isolinux
-graft-points Psyche-i386-disc1 .discinfo=.discinfo isolinux/=isolinux
RedHat/=Psyche-i386-disc2/RedHat RedHat/=Psyche-i386-disc3/RedHat
SRPMS/=Psyche-i386-disc3/SRPMS SRPMS/=Psyche-i386-disc4/SRPMS
SRPMS/=Psyche-i386-disc5/SRPMS docs/=Psyche-docs
and is appearing an error:
genisoimage: Error: '(null)' and 'isolinux/boot.cat' have the same Rock
Ridge name 'boot.cat'.
Unable to sort directory isolinux
NOTE: multiple source directories have been specified and merged into the
root
of the filesystem. Check your program arguments. genisoimage is not tar.
The command was originally make for a kernel version 2.4, but I don't know
what change for the command to run on a kernel version 2.6.
I would like your help

Can you tell me step by step the commands to do?
