Neo77777,

Do you know of any free software (movie tools or player) that could play *.dat, *.mpeg, *.avi, *.vivo and others which is specially mend for linux platform?

Thank you Master C .....

Oh ya do you know how to solve the above problem ???

Getting the kernel or the RAID problem?

I know nothing about RAID, so sorry there...

www.kernel.org and click the F button next to 2.4.19

HTH

Besides that , i am too curious to know what does .tar.bz2 means??

Do i have to download extra unzip proggy to unpack the file above?

i just know how to use gunzip/unzip/ but never come across the above... Please help (as you know all the files at the mplayerhu ites is full of these)

bz2 would appear to be a better compression than simple .tar.gz

To unzip bz2 you can do either:
tar xvjf filename.tar.bz2 (notice the J instead of z)
OR for those who don't have that setup there are many other options, here is one more:
bzcat filename.tar.bz2 | tar xv

And I believe bunzip can also be used.

Cool

that means it comes together with Linux 7.3 installation is it?

no extra download of proggy needed?


Thanks

Mplayer
Sorry for being a little late with the reply

thanks anyway.. i am happy as long as there is someone reply to my quest .... Thanks again ... ............ but question just before Neo7777 last reply is not solved or justified ... Please

Yes, it's very likely you can use any example I provided.

Sorry to cut in on your thread Neo, I know you were handling this one, I just love the MPlayer questions

...... Neo77777 ? what about the specific keyword to look for the Kernel compilation and installation issue or steps-to-do which you think is best to follow???

Hi!

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html

I would suggest following both the kernel how to, and possibly the RAID how to's.

Thanks Master C ... I'll check it out....

Expert!!!!! What can you tell from this? can you see why my RAID HDD couldn't be detected?

I too have an issue with the A7V333 with a Maxtor 40 gig ATA133 drive. The difference for me, however, is that the drive is plugged in as master on the regular IDE controller. I want to do a clean install to that drive, but I am starting to wonder if that will ever be possible because of the ATA133 drive and board.

I am currently running Red Hat 8 with kernel 2.4.19 on this same machine on a Seagate Barracude 30 gig ATA66 drive. I installed it on there plugged into the same controller.

I don't think you can do a clean install with a different kernel, however, right?
