Story of the toilet upstairs 
Saturday, November 25, 2006, 01:28 PM - Technology
Long long time ago there was a poor sw engineer living in a very far away forest. The house was made of very old wood on the shadow of pines and birch trees.
After one year living in that house and repairing everything he could, his little girl asked him very politely to build a toilet on the second floor so she did not need to walk so far half sleepy during the night.
So the poor engineer decide to start himself, let's check the pictures:

Linux in a USB 
Friday, October 20, 2006, 08:49 PM - Announcements
Here some hints on how to boot your computer from USB stick. I got SanDisk Cruzer 128 MB booting from my IBM T41.
First you can read this links:

The main problem is to format your usb in the right way. Other is that you need a running linux to create the mini root or ramdisk. Probably it should be 2.4 kernel so it is same as in DSL.
In case you want to prepare your rescue system with a 2.6 running system it is better to follow a dos formatting as in:

In case you run into problems you can read more here:

http://featherlinux.berlios.de/usb-instructions.htm
or ask help here:

Hope you enjoy it. I formatted my 128 MB into 80 and 42MB partitions so I can have an easy mount in the small for documents. Normally the USB stick runs in memory so it protects the partition where system is copied from.
The advantage compary to a live CD is that you can still use the CD driver plus it is easy to carry. Has some one tried already in an MP3 player ?

Drop me a comment with your experiences :-)

Hello, finally some place to share ideas with you all. Wish we could discuss in this space about interesting projects, hobbies, passions or findings on how some things works.

In general I love hardware, software & comunications however I'm true instered in bioengineering. Nowadays in finding how to mix all this I realize that this path was already walked by the Human Computer Interaction fans.
