Yeah, they should be using the network drives as their primary storage area. Corporate setups usually involve having the user's profile stored on a network drive.
Just tell them to use the network area and that they stand to lose anything that isn't saved there. They'll seeon get the message.
Burn speed will vary with each individual blank disc. I've got a Sony also and on x4 Ritek media it can burn at x4, but maybe 40% of the time will do so at x2. Sony aren't the greatest at getting this right, apparently.
Upshot is - if you want to burn at x8, buy x8 media.
I've got a Belkin 4-port and it's disappointing. When switching between machines the mouse pointer often gets 'lost', though it can usually be brought back by switching back and forth a couple of times. Also the mouse point movement isn't as smooth as it should be some of the time but...
>> "and the blaster worm fix from symantec didnt pick anything up."
He needs to go to Windows Update and get all the patches. The one for this particular issue is MS03-039.
You don't need to encrypt anything. Just right-click on the folder or file, select Properties and then go into Security. The XP help files have a lot of pages about this stuff. Encryption is a seperate issue to permissions.
You can disable the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) services before going online. If you can't do that you'll have to take your chances or get the install from someone else.
Also just tried it on McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 7.1 (one of our client uses this). It said seven infected files but it only flagged one of the viruses.
NAV version 2002 with full updates as of today 21st March. Six out of the seven detected but only when manually scanned.
Is there any result yet on which is consitantly the best AV?

If money is a consideration then don't use Photoshop. There are several really good photographic editing packages available for a LOT less money. Paint Shop Pro 8 is particularly good.
Have they managed to get non-anti-aliased fonts looking anywhere near as good as Windows yet?
(no, that is not intended to be flame-bait. I really do live in hope that one day fonts will look as good on Linux).
I've had a quick look through that but I'm not sure if it's relevent to the problem I'm seeing. Basically, every distribution I've tried, the non-aliased fonts look horrible. It's not just RedHat.
I've dabbled with a lot of the popular distributions but I've settled with SuSE Pro (I just get along with it better). However one thing has been common to all of them - when anti-aliasing is turned off, the fonts in X look bloody awful. Jagged, rough, just...bad.
I've got all my Windows TT...
OK, I've copied all of the Windows fonts into:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
...and run ttmkfdir and mkfontdir.
I've also removed the previous method I tried and removed the entry in /etc/X11/fs/config
OpenOffice can see the TTF fonts but KDE and Gnome cannot.
So what do I have to do to...
Thanks for the info. I've got several hundred fonts I use on one of my Windows boxes that I'd like to port onto the Linux PC but the main reason is to try and get the general desktop fonts looking good. I don't like the softening effect anti-aliasing produces (I never use it in Windows) and...
I'm trying to get true-type fonts to work in Linux (RedHat 9).
I've gone through the instuctions on this page: http://linux.org.mt/article/ttfonts
and now some of the applications can see my fonts, but I'm still unable to use them for desktop/menu/windows in KDE or Gnome.
Since the standard...

Let's you save to your hard drive the full install of IE 6 SP1 for 98, NT, 2K and XP.
>> "I think its because its fairly simple organisation and you can make a ghost of your OS partition and keep the filesize down. "
I use Ghost myself but in all honesty I still can't see much of an advantage unless you have gigabytes worth of apps installed. My main XP partition is 4gb and on...
I keep my OS and apps on the same (small) partition. I see no advantage in keeping apps seperate to the OS. If your OS gets hosed you need to reinstall the apps anyway.
(I got no response to this in the Software section).

The only specialised hardware you'll need is a capturing card and of course the LD player. And lots of hard drive space. I've done a few LD to DVD conversions now including the original Star Wars films.
For capturing, I use a Canopus ADVC-1394 which dumps the incoming analogue video directly...
Anyone know for CERTAIN when the Windows 98 patches will be removed from availibility?
I can't honestly see them pulling the ability to download them manually or via Windows Update for 'till a lot later, especially considering there's still a crap-load of stuff availabe for 95...
I've never managed to get Ghost to successfully copy an XP installation from one hard drive to another. XP always fails to boot properly (using hanging just before the logon prompt appears). I think there's some jiggery-pokery you have to do first for XP - it's probably on the Symantec site.
The cache itself isnt' the cause, obviously, but Seagate probably made some other changes to the drive for the 8mb version.
I had two 8mb 120mb drives a few months ago but noticed the sound was noticeably louder than the 2mb version.
I've had this problem on both XP and 2K and it's bloody annoying.

If you use a partition-level backup solution such as Ghost or Drive Image then separate partitions are essential on a single-drive system.
Imagine you have an HD split into 2 - say a 10gb partition with your OS and apps and the rest of the drive for your own data.
Ghost or DI can image the OS...
Defintely have one for the OS and apps. Keeping your own data away from the OS/apps makes life much easier if you ever need to reinstall Windows or if you use an imaging app like Drive Image or Ghost.
See how much space you're using now for the OS and apps - add some, then decide how much to...
I've had this a few times with .avi files. In every instance I've gone into the properties and taken ownership of the file. It's odd because I only use one account which is the full admin one, but it seems to work.
