TexLive not on Dapper.

I wanted to make few documentation in Latex. So tried figuring out what should I install through Synaptic Manager. I got few packages but then it did not include packages which I wanted to use. It did not serve me for those package which I need. Edgy edition had the texlive package which included all AMS fonts and amssymb package. So what I had to do is just copy Texlive CD. Change install-tl.sh's first line for bash. And run the file thats it it works. So next time if a shell script is not running please check the first line and see if it for the shell which you have.

Strange Problem (Motherboard chipset and Sata HDD)

While being with CRAVE we discovered a strange problem. For Crave Project AMD64Athlon with ASUS motherboard, SATA hard disk, 1GB RAM were ordered. Now ASUS motherboard had a chipset of VIA. Its southbridge chipset is VT8215 and for this chipset there are no drivers in linux for SATA hard disk. SUSE, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu none of the Distributions could detect any SATA hard disk during installation. This made us to come in the soup. So now for the time being most of the machines will have a PATA hard disk. Then after recompiling the kernal it is possible to run Ubuntu on SATA hard disk with VT8215 chipset.

I had similar combination but my chipset was VT8237. This worked. I could nicely install along with SATA drives.

On Ubuntu forums few other people also faced similar problem. One guy had made iso of ubuntu for such a system. For time being that will also be installed on one of the machine.
