Surprise! Megeia 1 can read and write to DVDRAM Disk

All the while I am using Mandriva Linux, but I can't use DVDRAM Disk in this way that a udf formatted DVDRAM Disk use like hard disk. I got to use packet writing to accomplished the job. Now I use it like removable usb drive. Thank you Mageia.

安装 Mageia 1 后遇到的一些问题

1. 安装完毕后重启，发现CPU使用高达100%，居高不下。我用top指令检查发现，祸首是xorg。我赶紧到控制中心，添加下载源，安装AMD显示卡的驱动，从新开机，才解决这个问题。

2. 默认输入法是ibus。但是不能调出输入条。我想大概是没有预设开启。解决方法也找到了，链接到以下的blog：

3. Firefox 4 的 flash plugin 到 Adobe官网下载 .rpm 回来安装就可以了。

4. java plugin 直接用urpmi指令安装。

以 root登入终端，输入 "urpmi icedtea"指令，安装后就可以使用了。

Megeia1 and Firefox 4 plugins

I downloaded and installed Mageia1 and find out that Firefox 4 can't open java and flash site. The solution for flash is easy.Just download .rpm flash from Adobe web site and install it. For the java plugin, I waste three days to find out the solution to this. Just install from the repository by using "rpmi icedtea-web" and that's it. Hope this can help.

Use fsarchiver to backup Mandriva Linux system

I am using Mandriva Linux and I tried many ways to backup my system. Finally I found this good backup software - Fsarchiver.
Fsarchiver  is included in the System Rescue CD. Download the iso and burn it to a CD.

mount -t ext4 /dev/sda7 /mnt/backup (this is to mount the partition in my hard disk for storing the backup)

fsarchiver  -j2 -o savefs /mnt/backup/mandriva2010spring.fsa /dev/sda1 (archive)

fsarchiver restfs /mnt/backup/mandriva2010spring.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sda1 (restore)
