Mondo Rescue RPMs, McPhling
I’m working on backing up a client’s mail server to CD-RW, and later to DVD-RAM. I found Mondo Rescue which looks pretty cool. I haven’t tried playing with it yet, though, because I’ve been busy gathering its dependencies. The only things missing from Red Hat 8.0 were afio, buffer, and lzop; bzip2, cdrecord, lzo, mkisofs, newt, slang, and syslinux are all included. So I packaged the things needed to run Monddo Rescue on RH 8.0. Of course, I later noticed that Brian Baggett has Mondo Rescue dependency packages. I’ll probably use mine just because I already spent time on them, and mine are slightly newer versions than what he’s got posted there, FWIW.
On a side note, a decent replacement for LaunchEmHack on my new Palm Tungsten C is McPhling. It allows me to pop up a list of most recently used programs, and lets me flip back and forth between my last application. Pretty configurable, and the new version has the support to only activate when you hold a button. This is a good thing because the Tungsten C has a shortage of buttons it recognizes, and I’ve now got Graffiti turned off in favor of the keyboard. No silk screen area either. Anyway, recommended.
