Bootable floppy for live CD

There are requests booting the live CD with floppy. The codes are suppose to be similar when booting to an existing HD partition with floppy not using LILO.
An example making a normal bootable floppy without LILO:
fdformat /dev/fd0h1440 (formats the floppy disk)
dd if=/boot/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 (writes the kernel to the floppy disk)
rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda3 (root partition as /dev/hda3)
rdev -R /dev/fd0 1 (mount root file system read-only)
LIve CD replaces the HD, boot floppy needs to mount into CD instead. The problem I am facing, live CD's initrd image (a compressed file "miniroot.gz" 2.6Mb with all basic folders and startup files) doesn't fit on a normal floppy and must be uncompressed into ram memory at boot from the CD. How to do it?
Here is the print of Live CD's isolinux.cfg:
prompt 1
timeout 0
display boot.msg
F1 boot.msg
F2 info.msg
F3 vga.msg
default vmlinuz initrd=miniroot.gz init=/init/sbin/init ramdisk_size=100000 load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 vga=788 root=/dev/ram0

I have searched around internet for floppy bootable live CDs, and found Honung Linux (not live CD but planning to do).
It will not be a Live-CD in that that it will boot directly from the cd.
I'm planning to boot from a floppy (as Honung does now), but instead of using
the Rootdisk (Disk2) it will use a CD and it will therefor be possible for
me to get even more into the distribution.
http://honung.n3.net/
Actually the Disk2 is some kind of "live floppy". Why not make an "AL Live Floppy" instead of bootable floppy for Live CD only. Moreover, are there any i686 machines what don't have a bootable CD bios?? I think its only an i586 issue... if am correct.
The idea to have a Live Floppy is for dial-up modem users.
FMI, how many MBs is a modem 56k user be willing to download? Minimum 2x floppy image... 2.8Mb each. To run AL with light weight desktop (blackbox or fluxbox) requires to download one CD image. What would be an accepted size to download (MB???).

How can I make a bootable disk for Mountain Lion?

How can I make a bootable disk for Mountain Lion?

Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.

Can you set up a template for live performance in GarageBand for iPad Air?

II'm trying to set up a template for live performance using GarageBand on my iPad Air. Can anyone advise? Thanks.

QuickTime is AppleScript aware and has its own "dictionary". Many scripts and droplets have already been compiled and you can download them from this link:
http://www.apple.com/applescript/quicktime/
Some need further editing to update them to version 7 features but it's not difficult using the Script Editor app.
Tiger's new Automator app could also be used but its feature set is rather basic. Newer actions are available for download from the Mac OSX Downloads page.

Should I use time machine, CCC or a bootable installer for OS X Yosemite

I am about to change my mid-2010 MBP and install a Samsung 850 pro. I have Yosemite (by the way: Yosemite performance is good, no slowness; hdd filled only 50%) - I have VPN Tracker and Microsoft Remote Desktop as main applications at the moment. I will also use it for itunes.
I have made a backup on time machine.
The process instructions on the net vary:
1) After replacing the HDD with the SSD, press down Command + R, this opens boot utility of Yosemite; then with disk utility format the SSD as MacOs ext journal. then: Back-up from time machine.
2) OR: Use Carbon Copy Cloner. Connect the SSD on a USB tray (I have one) and commence from there before installing. On re
3) OR: Should I first - Create a bootable installer for OS X Yosemite; the instruction says: Download the OS X Installer app from the Mac App Store. But I can't find it. And then clone as Kappy describes.
- Isn't that replaced by the Command + R startup procedure?
& I am looking for insight in this tip:
4) I read someone failed in installing an SSD because he forgot an I/F sensor connection (Temperature gauge??) ; but I see such a connector nowhere in the video's.
Of course I prefer 1), looks most straightforward as being within the Apple software mindset.
anything will help me.

First I would explore the potential problems you may face installing a third party SSD in a MBA running Yosemite. Just a sample:
http://www.zdnet.com/article/os-x-yosemite-and-third-party-ssds-heres-what-you-n eed-to-know/
The simplest way of installing a new storage device is to connect it to the MBP via USB and then format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in Disk Utility>Erase.
Then use CCC or Disk Utility>Restore to copy the data to the SSD from the internal HDD.
Then test to see if the external SSD will boot the MBP. If so, make the physical swap.
Ciao.

EDI for LIV

Hi there,
I have 2 questions:
1.- Is mandatory to enter the GR before receive the EDI invoice?
2.- Can I receive EDI invoices with delivery costs?
Example PO: 100 USD (Material) + 20 USD (Freight) = 120 USD (Same vendor).
Invoice: 120 USD including material and Freight.
Thanks.
CD.

Hi It depends your receiving party.
Answer 1:
For LIV, 2 way match (No GR) or 3 way match (With GR) invoices can be done in SAP.However if Your receiving party is Non-SAP system, they have to configure the 2-way match or 3-way match,Based on that you have to decide GR mandatory or not.,if it is another SAP system, definitely not an issue.
Answer 2:
Yes, with delivery costs possible.
Cheers!

Detecting Bandwidth Quality for Live Video Streaming

Hi,
We have an application that is using FMS to share slides (swf,jpg, etc) with another client. We added a video as an option. We would like to verify as often as possible the bandwidth quality between communications in order to suggest the user to close video if we notice bandwidth is not optimal.
We've been experimenting doing a bandwidth detection every 60 seconds, but I am wondering if there are specific guidelines to do this for live video, like how many times one should verify bandwidth? Is it ok to take one reading or should we take a few readings and then average out?
Taking into consideration that every time we test bandwidth fms seems to flood the connection to figure out the bandwidth, I was wondering if anyone has some insight into this.
Kind regards.

"Mac OS X, Tiger Edition" by David Pogue (2005) briefly discusses the issue I raised on page 649ff. Under "The Software Base Station Effect," he says that a Mac with an AirPort card and an Ethernet or other connection to the internet (e.g. via DSL or cable modem) can serve as a "gateway" for other 802.11g equipped machines.
I've ordered a D-Link DWL-G650 802.11g Wireless Cardbus Adapter to install in the Dell laptop, and will see how it goes.

Can you use the Vocal Transformer for Live Show?

Can you use the Vocal Transformer for Live Show? I have automations set up in my vocal track using the vocal transformer and would like my vocals to adjust accordingly while performing live. Is this possible to configure and if so, how do I set it up at the venue?

Vocal Transformer opens in MainStage. All controls in VT are visible & editable in MS. Don't set it up at the venue. Set it up in one or more patches before you leave your house. You will need up to twelve sliders or knobs plus one or two buttons on your controller to get the most out of it.

Flash Media Player which handles bitrate switching for live streams?

Hello. I've got a very short timescale to find a solution for a way to display livestreams with bitrate switching. Does anyone
know of any opensource players which can do this effectively? Or do the inbuilt components in CS4 deal with this ok?

Thanks,I have read that article. Based on that article the NetStreamInfo.maxBytesPerSecond is not an accurate measurement to base dynamic switching on. This seems to be the basis of the bitrate switching in both the longtail player, and the adobe examples that I have tried. That article suggests using the dropped frames property, in conjunciton with bufferlength to determine if switching is neccessary. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a player online which handles this successfully. That being said, I can't believe I'm the only person trying to implement dynamic bitrate switching for live streams so surely there are some players out there which can do this successfully? If anyone knows of any code available which does this successfully I would appreciate knowing where! The examples provided by Adobe https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=fms35 unfortunately don't work either.

Thanks for looking at this post. We have resolved the issue for ourselves by working with our DBAs to narrow down where the problem actually started. We found that the particular SQL we were looking at was not the issue. In a chart on a subsequent page (via a click through), we were actually running into where apex was starting to consuming memory but we were catching it later.
What we found was that when we had a chart query that was SQL containing a pipeline function, the memory usage went up. And within 10 minutes, the server would crawl to a halt. To release the memory, the DBAs would have to bounce the Apex instance. When I changed the query to be a function returning SQL, the problem stopped. I don't know what the correlation was between SQL and moving to a PL/SQL function returning SQL.
I am not even 100% positive of the pipeline function being the cause. I only know that this started happening about the same time as when I implemented the pipeline function. I understand you are leery of a one-second function/query running up that kind of utilization. No one here believed me either (including me really). We figured it HAD to be a coincidence. But once I changed the query from SQL to a function returning PL/SQL, our problem went away.
Thanks to all who looked at and thought about this.

What is the best way to plug my iPhone 5 into a mixer for live music performances?

I'm thinking of performing live with my iPhone 5 or maybe an iPad that I haven't bought yet. What is the best way to get the sound for the device to a mixer or PA? I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with wireless options. I'm wondering if it is stable enough for live performance. There doesn't seem to be any audio interface options yet.

there is always the 3.5mm minijack out connector sure it's analogue but a cable with male minijack in 1 and and 2 rca in the other would work with most mixers and or pa's

Hi folks,
Ronny's here again on forums, having particularly 2 (two) questions/problems to resolve:
1) Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place
2) Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true
attached is the .zip file (as3_Countdown Timer_ver 1.0.1_by Ronny Depp.zip) with all flash source files containing:
a) The FLash Source (file: timer_module.fla) - (FLA flash source file - Flash CS3 Professional, Flash Player 9, actionscript 3.0)
b) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement package including 2 .as actionscript 3.0 Class files.
       i) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.DateAndTimeManager Class in the said package. (file: DateAndTimeManager.as)
       ii) com.othenticmedia.utils.dateAndTimeManagement.CountdownTimer Class in the package. (file: CountdownTimer.as)
c) The compiled SWF file version of this Application's blueprint. (file: timer_module.swf).
What i need to confirm is: ........................................................ see the next post of mine. (for Problems need to be Resolved)

Problems to Resolve:
Problem#1) - Countdown Timer to the designated Date for Live-Broadcast-Event yet to take place.
Problem#2) - Detect End of Live Stream on FLVPlayback with FLVPlayback.isLive = true;
Problem#1 Description:
I need to pinpoint the Logical TimeSync Exception, i am still unable to figure out. That is I'm using a webservice in my Application to Synchronize the Time with the actual ET (eastern time) with accomodation of auto-adjustment for EDT GMT-4 (eastern daylight time) & EST GMT-5 (eastern standard time), times. I am using the zipcode: "10012" to pass it to the Web Service in urlRequest object, to retrieve the Current ET eastern time according to EDT & EST time settings for Manhattan/Brooklyn areas or others within New York, NY 10012.
Currently the Web Service is returning accurate date/time based on local EDT GMT-4 daylight time.
Is there some defined set of dates for EDT & EST times for New York region that I can check for to ensure the correct Dates/Times for Eastern Time in New York area ??? I am using NY zipcodes because i am sure to get correct ET values.
The Major Problem Part: is I need to correct the time by 2 seconds or approx. 2 secs, some millisecs.
When I retrieve the Time Value from WebService, it lags behind for 2 seconds as compared to DateObj i create using computer's local time, on my Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Automatic Updates turned-on. And I'm sure about my Windows will be having latest updates for Time Management already installed. I also added the 2 secs. to the TimeSync(ed) Date to make correction to this Date obj.
I call my custom fucntion addSeconds(dateObj:Date, secs:int) to add 2 seconds to the Date by Converting Seconds to Milliseconds.
Please comb through the as code in files attached and Help Me Out !!!
Problem#2 Description:
Secondly I need to Detect the End of Stream state while using FLVPlayback component, an rtmp:// live Stream from FLASH MEDIA SERVER.
I need to Play a YuMe Post-Roll Ad when Steam Finishes/Ends.
Live Broadcast Stream Event starts every night on Wednesdays & Saturdays exactly at 10:59 PM EDT GMT-4.
Live Events only Streams/Broadcasts the stream for 50secs. exactly. When [playback stopped] it plays a PostRoll Ad and after the CountdownTimer again comes back to life. The Next upcoming Event is calculated & the Countdown begins until Next Event's time/date is reached.
Here is the code on the frame 1 on the MainTimeline: (rest of the params like source, volume, skinAutoHide are Set using Property Inspector for FLVPlayback instance on Stage)
//myStream instance of FLVPlayback is on the Stage
myStream.isLive = true;// Frame 1 Actions in the FLA
myStream.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, onEndOfStream);
myStream.addEventListener(VideoEvent.STATE_CHANGE, onState);
myStream.addEventListener(String(VideoError.NO_CONNECTION), onStreamError);
myStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
/*if(myStream.stopped){
     trace("tracy: "+myStream.state);
} else if(myStream.state == VideoState.STOPPED){
     trace("tracy: "+myStream.state);
function onStreamError(event:VideoError) {
     trace(event.code + "\n\t" + event);
function onState(event:VideoEvent) {
     trace(event.state + "\n\t" + event.toString());
function onEndOfStream(event:VideoEvent) {
     trace(event.state + "\n\t" + event.toString());
function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
     switch (event.info.code) {
          case "NetConnection.Connect.Success":
               //connectStream();
               break;
          case "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound":
               trace("Stream not found: "/* + myStream.source*/);
