Thanks guys
Like I said I was probably missing an option, and quite honestly I never really understood or paid that much attention to Rock Ridge or Joliet formats prior to this.

I now know

Merry Xmas
just received my first dvd burner for xmas.
Figured this would be the perfect time to do a system back-up.
So I started with my mp3 collection.
Imagine my surprise when the disc tray...

I started to get really frustrated with coding this, so I put it aside for a while.
But school is back in, and I should get it finished.

Any and all help appreciated
Thanks

I found that by changing the for i = *.mp3 to */*.mp3
it goes right through all directory levels
however I get the error message

"can't init outfile"

one step closer...three steps farther...

Thanks Icarus

I made one change



for i in *.mp3; do
out2=`ls "$i" | sed -e 's/.mp3//g'`
lame -h -b 128 "$i" 128-bitrate-"$out2".mp3
done

My scripting ability is almost nil
could you give me an example?

Hey folks

Was just given my first portable mp3 player
love it, except at 512mb it can only hold about 1 album from my library (I ripped them at lossless levels)

Alrighty
I have definitely decided to try muddling through this myself

Here is what I have so far
most of the syntaxes are wrong and the coding is incomplete and awkward, But that is just my...

I used to use thunder bird, great filtering, now I use evolution and cant seem to get the same filter

Alright

I have decided to try my hand at scripting, so forgive me if I ask a few 'stupid' questions.

From my understanding of cron, all it would take for her to bypass the time constraints would be to turn the system off just prior to the 'curfew' time and then restart just after.

thanks for the link, I'll do some reading later tomorrow

thanks for the replies

I guess that I should have mentioned that this is a family computer, everyone needs access to it.
I was hoping to just censor and restrict her user account

Hey Folks

I have a teenage daughter who literally lives online, and has gotten into various bits of trouble because of it.
Without restricting her access to the computer for school work, I...

Well
I have bad news

I have had a minor (bloody major) problem with Dell. And as such have returned this wonderful specimen to them.

Hey Danielg

I've had very little time to finish configuring my system
the info you've posted have been extremely helpful

I can't seem to get a kernel configured just right
what kernel are you...

Voidinit..
I generally agree, my wife has ho problem using the console to do most everyday things, or accessing X for more visual things. It has more to do with functionality at the university...

Definitely compiling my own kernel, and I'm leaning heavily towards lfs.
oh I found the drivers, it's just a matter of getting windows to recognise them as being for windows.

Still is an option,...

partitioned the drive using linux version of fdisk - no problems
installed windows xp on 1st partition - almost no problems

Yippee
It should be here within the hour

Time to chewing through my options

If I was looking to spend that kind of money, I would start at VoodooPC
Might have some difficulties finding drivers for some of the newer components
But damn they build some awesome systems
