Just downloaded some podcast from sf.tv.
These files come with an .m4v extension, so actually they are .mp4 files.
The Acer Aspire One won't play them out of the box, but it's easy to set it up.
open a terminal and type the following:
sudo rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
sudo yum install vlc
if this doesn't work out, do the following:
sudo yum install fedora-release
sudo yum install vlc
you probably want to install it also for Firefox, so type:
yum install python-vlc mozilla-vlc
done!

ntfs-3g - debian 'etch' - read and write ntfs
today I wanted to mount my external harddisc in ntfs format, so that's what I did:
I basically followed the instructions, that are described here.
1. Because of unsolved dependencies in 'etch' I had to manually download ntfs-3g and libntfs-3g.
2. install dependencies:
apt-get install fuse-utils libfuse2
3. install ntfs-3g using the just downloaded packages:
dpkg -i libntfs-3g0_0.0.0+20061031-6_i386.deb
dpkg -i ntfs-3g_0.0.0+20061031-6_i386.deb
4. mount the external disc:
ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt/extdisc -o force
note:
a) Make sure that you create the directory /mnt/extdisc before mounting.
b) /dev/sda1 is to be replaced by your disc (find out by typing: 'fdisk -l')
c) Because there was en error loading the disc normally (might be caused by ms windows), I used the 'force' option.

slim down the debian 'etch' minimal x-system
Got this error message at start-up, that the internet superserver doesn't start, so I first did the following:
update-rc.d -f openbsd-inetd remove
But soon afterwards I decided to remove the whole openbsd-inetd package by typing:
apt-get remove -purge openbsd-inetd
update-rc.d -f openbsd-inetd remove
But soon afterwards I decided to remove the whole openbsd-inetd package by typing:
apt-get remove -purge openbsd-inetd
