I just installed Win2k8 Core on WMWare and tried to install VMWare as usual from the menu: VM\Install VMWare Tools… but nothing happened.
So I goggled and the solution is actually very easy:
1. Filemenu: “VM\Install VMWare Tools”
2. Command prompt run: “D:\Setup.exe”
That’s it…. have fun.

After a fresh installation of Windows 2008 Server you have the handy “Initial Configurations Task” Wizard. If you have chosen “Do not show this window at logon” it won’t appear anymore. So how can you relaunch it?
Just run “oobe” from the prompt.

I noticed that each time I restarted my os I didn’t get an IP and I had to start dhclient manually. So how do you get dhclient to start at startup?
Here are the steps you need to do:
1. vi etc/init.d/local
And put following code:
|
1 2 |
#! /bin/bash dhclient |
2. Make the file executable
|
1 |
chmod +x /etc/init.d/local |
3. Put it into the autostart
|
1 |
update-rc.d local defaults 60 |
The smaller the number is the earlier the file will be executed.

I had some computer errors today so the first thing I usually do if I don’t know the error is jump on google and search for it. So I found a couple forums about that matter. Suprisingly I noticed that there were a couple of forums overlapping with exactly the same question + answers. Second thing I noticed is a lot of ads.
So if you put this two things together you will figure it out that somebody tries to make money out of it and it works like this. You design special for search engine optimized webpages and you steal content from other webpages, you get a content changing money making machine.

I just moved from Europe to Australia and there you actually get a fast Internet Connection but with bandwidth limitation. So you get a bandwidth volume for peak and off peak time. Of course the one one for the off peak time is much bigger. So at the begin I didn’t care much about it and I was downloading as usual. Soon I had used my volume for the peak time and I could surf just with ISDN speed during the day. So I needed scheduled downloading but I missed that feature in Azureus and aMule. So what’s the solution to that dilemma?
We know MAC OS is based on Unix and there is service called crontab which does the trick. It is running in the background and is used to run commands in a specified interval. What I basically do is open and close the download program in a specific time.
1. Open Terminal
2. “crontab -e”
3. Modifie and put the commands below:
|
1 2 3 4 |
05 2 * * * /Applications/aMule.app/Contents/MacOS/amule 05 2 * * * /Applications/Azureus.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub 55 11 * * * kill `ps aux | grep aMule | grep -v grep | awk '{print \$2}'` 55 11 * * * kill `ps aux | grep Azureus | grep -v grep | awk '{print \$2}'` |
4. To save the file press “:” (run commands) and then press “qw” (quit and write)
Explanation:
2:05am Open aMule
2:05am Open Azureus
11:55am Close aMule
11:55am Close Azureus
Of course the interval time and paths needs to be adjusted. Do a google search if you want to know more about crontab.
