Hi,



Wishing to install latest version of JRE.



After much sweat I created Debian package based on Java 1.6.0_03.
Had to modify the contents of java-package by copying sun-j2re1.5 to
sun-j2re1.6 and editing the sun-j2re.sh script to include the following in
the first section:


	"jre-6u3-linux-i586.bin")
	   j2se version=1.6
	   j2se_expected_min_size=16 # 16542512 bytes
	   found=true
	   ;;


Ran dpkg command and it seemed to work BUT still I seem to only have
original GNU Java version 1.4.2 on my machine. When I run
'update-alternatives --config java' it says I only have one program that
provides java. 



Desperate to get latest version of Java installed!



Regards,


David


Can we help you?X

Ah, good ol' WP5.0, and then the great WP5.1.  Mmmmm, it was so fast,
and could do spell check, underline, bold (5.1 even had italics),
and vast mail merges!  It just automatically returned, without having
to manually initiate the carriage return at the sound of the bell.  It
was a typewriter with intelligence.  Truly phenomenal. 



Shift-F7 to centre, F7 to exit, F4 to indent, F10 to list files.  WP
came with its own file manager.  And menu for the DOS system.  And it
had all the drivers to all the printers.  Happy times....  happy
times.....  my sturdy old 286, back when computers were made of metal,
and not plastic..... yup, happy times....

Dont' forget its best feature (the one that has never been used anywhere 
else, but should be)...



Drum roll, please...



View Codes



I really liked the ability to see exactly what formatting codes were in 
the file, and where they were placed.  It made finding out why the 
formatting was not as expected so much easier.  I wish OOo would 
implement the feature.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

I have TV card that uses bt848 chip. It's LuckyStar card. I have been usi=
ng it for 3 years. But a
few days ago, it seems to have problems. After using xawtv in sarge or et=
ch for a few minutes, the
system halt. I mean it stop responding to keyboard input. In Windows 98, =
it seems to halt more
quickly.

I often use driver for bt878 card. Could that damage my card?

I have changed motherboard and test memory, both seems OK.

My question is how to verify (or test) that the problem really is with th=
e TV card. If so, I'll
have to buy a new one.=20

Yes, indeed. It's called mplayer. I tried 
mplayer -playlist http://sc1.liquidviewer.com:9062/listen.pls
on the cl and it works fine.

You can go to packages.debian.org and download sun-java6 packages from

I'm on an Etch system with limited memory and CPU power, which I'm
trying to optimize in terms of software. The box acts a CUPS print
server with two queues, one raw queue and one HP PSC-1110 queue. The
HP AIO needs HPLIP to function.=20

As we rarely print, I have already reniced cupsd and the hplip
processes to the max. But I would like to reduce the memory usage in
general as well.=20

Is it possible to start these services on demand, instead keeping
them running all the time?

Marc-Etienne, many thanks for that. I guess I forget 'includes' might
not be all lower case so missed it. I've now commented out the lines
since no SSI supported on my box (I'm wondering if I half-enabled it at
some point in the past!)

Remove the "linux-image-2.6" package? This package ensures the latest

I am sorry to reply so late, but this was the first thing I did. Since
nothing is working, I just load the file at startup via a kde-script.

I don't know of any for your specific markup, but you might want to take
a look at reStructured Text, which is very similar and can be converted
to a lot of different formats.

Also consider lbdb.

apt-cache show lbdb

Happy times??!!  Nah...  Mark, you forget about no wysiwyg.

I still have my old metal 286 (AT&T) with dos 6.whatever, but the kids
probably deleted wp 5.1 long ago.  Oh, wait... I have the box of 5 1/4
in. floppy install diskettes, what luck! :-P

Hey guys,

I take notes in class and use the wiki markup system. Thus, a section of the notes would look like the following:

****

== Timers ===

 * Timer0
  - 8-bit timer/counter with 8-bit prescaler
 * Timer1
  - 16-bit timer/counter with prescaler can be incremented during SLEEP via external crystal/clock.
 * Timer2
  - 8-bit timer/counter with 8-bit period register, prescaler, and postscaler.

****

So I would like to be able to run this through a script/application that will automatically parse this and bold the headings and put bullets in the items.

Does such a tool exist?

Thanks,
Amit
