Install any Linux distro directly from hard disk without burning any DVD
This time I can really say - the title says it all. Stop wasting CDs when you use them only once. Try this.
After you download any Linux distro from the internet, you have to burn it to a DVD, CD or a number of CDs to install it. That CD or DVD is generally used only once after which it lies unused , and worse, almost every Linux distro comes up with a new release every 6 months. So if you are in the habit of upgrading to every new version, you must have dozens of CDs lying at the bottom of your drawer. What a wastage of CDs! But with a little trick you can install any Linux directly from the hard disk without burning a single CD or DVD. The prerequisite of this trick is to have an operating system already installed on your computer. This is obvious because unless you are able to boot into your machine, you can't install anything; and we are not going to boot from the Linux disk because we aren't burning any. Here I'm going to focus on Microsoft Windows as the pre installed operating system

Just some more images of the work done so far on the extensions for the plasma clock, that i have been working on with
Riccardo Iaconelli. Right now i´m working on a time zone extension.
The one you can see here is the date extension... Basically, what you get when clicking the date area ;).
And a more integrated version.

Membuat Lokal Repository di Zencafe 1.2
Haiii, pa kabar
Kali ini penulis mencoba membuat lokal repository install program di distro zencafe 1.2 namun bagi pengguna zenwalk atau yang masih turunan slackware jangan kecewa dahulu. Karena secara setting default alias pengaturan asli pada distro zencafe yang selalu konek ke internet. Sebagai contoh hendak meng-install program :
#netpkg
lalu muncul pilihan list url repository zenwalk maupun zencafe , seperti :
1. http://slackware.linux.or.id/pub/zencafe/i486/current
2. http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/zenwalk/i486/current
3. http://zen-repo.meticul.eu/i486/current
4. http://mirror.meleeweb.net/pub/linux/zenwalk/i486/current
5. http://ftp.nux.ipb.pt/pub/dists/zenwalk/i486/current
6. http://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/zenwalk/i486/current
7. http://linuxpackages.telecoms.bg/Zenwalk
8. http://mirrors.unixsol.org/linuxpackages//Zenwalk
9. http://linuxpackages.inode.at/Zenwalk
10. http://www.software-mirror.com/linuxpackages/Zenwalk
11. http://ftp.scarlet.be/pub/linuxpackages/Zenwalk
12. ftp://ftp.slackware.hu/linuxpackages/Zenwalk
13. http://www.tuxgames.net/zenwalk
14. http://users.zenwalk.org/packages
lalu kita disuruh memilih lokasi server package repository. Setelah itu kita dapat menginstall program yang kita sukai. Nah melihat hal diatas penulis mencoba mengakali dengan membuat lokal package repository server dengan memanfaatkan server apache+PHP . Hal ini penulis lakukan karena tidak mempunyai koneksi internet di rumah. Dan ide ini, penulis dapat dari komunitas ubuntu yang mengembangkan dvd repo ubuntu dari berbagai macam versi yang ada.
Penasaran !!
Berikut adalah teknik mengakalinya, yang sebetulnya tekniknya sama dengan pembuatan lokal repository di ubuntu.
maka akan dilakukan siskronisasi bila berhasil maka siap dijalankan.
Setelah itu bisa install program secara offline.

Penasaran !!
Berikut adalah teknik mengakalinya, yang sebetulnya tekniknya sama dengan pembuatan lokal repository di ubuntu.
- Downloadlah mirror website repository package zencafe, untuk ini kita dapat melihat file netpkg.conf yang berada di file /etc/netpkg atau masuk pake user root ketik mousepad /etc/netpkg.conf setelah itu terlihat setingan server repo zencafe, pilih salah satu yang cepat dan dekat dengan kita.
- Setelah itu buat lokal server dengan menginstall apache+php, karena kebetulan di ubuntu penulis sudah ada apache+php+mysql lewat xampplite versi linux. Maka penulis tinggal memount iso dvd ke folder htdocs xampplite.
- Setelah termount di folder htdocs, jalankan xampplite dengan mengetik /opt/lampp/lampp start pada shell dengan user root. Setelah itu ketik http://localhost/repodvd/zencafe (milik penulis). Bila tampilannya sama seperti dvd anda, berarti sukses.
- Sebelum menjalankannya, ketik mousepad /etc/netpkg.conf pada shell dengan akses root. Setelah itu edit atau copy dari setingan yang ada pada tulisan berikut
sebelum :
"Internet_mirror = http://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/zenwalk/i486/current"
sesudah :
"Internet_mirror = http://localhost/repodvd/zencafe/"
setelah itu simpan.
maka akan dilakukan siskronisasi bila berhasil maka siap dijalankan.
Setelah itu bisa install program secara offline.
