Free harddrive software for linux

hardDrive is a simple KDM theme to match the hardDrive Splash Screen and Wallpaper.

Now all thats left to do is make a bootscreen.

Hikarunix linux is a Live Linux CD distribution. Any PC that can boot to CD can boot to Hikarunix instead of the computers regular operating system. Since it boots entirely in RAM and only borrows the peripherals, Hikarunix doesnt touch the host machine at all.
Shut the machine down, pop the CD out, reboot and youll find yourself back with the same old OS that you started with. No installation or partitioning necessary. The fact that it fits on a pocket sized miniCD and can boot on just about any machine makes it extremely portable. Internet cafes, Library computers, a borrowed laptop can all be your personal, temporary Go workstation. If you wish you can also install it to your harddrive.
The name was inspired by the Japanese manga and anime series Hikaru No Go. Its about the world of Professional Go as seen by Junior High School student Hikaru and his ghost Go mentor Sai. Its a lot better then I make it sound, besides, admit it, reading comics is still fun. Pick up a copy of the English translation of the comic here.
Hikarunix itself and any additions Ive made are covered by the GNU General Public License, although the individual packages installed in Hikarunix retain their original licenses. This means that Hikarunix is entirely free. Feel welcome to make copies for your friends, family and co-workers, start a Go club and hand it out to all members. I put this CD together to open this great game to a wider audience, so the more copies that are out there the better.
Hikarunix will always be free, but if youd like to contribute to the cause you might consider donating to the project. You can also pick up an "official" miniCD, a Hikarunix USB drive, or a plethora of mugs and tshirts from our store. I also an just a beginner at Go and am still terrible at the game. If anyone would like to donate a Go lesson I can be found on most Go servers as t1ckt0ck.

Kororaa project is a way of installing Gentoo Linux easily and quickly, similar to Gentoos "Stage3 with GRP packages" install.

Whats different?

For Kororaa we wrote an install script to go along with our install method which takes care of most of the manual configuring required under the Gentoo method;

The Kororaa build is derived from Bob Ps Stage 1/3 install method;

Also, we have pre-defined a wide suite of KDE based (and now also Gnome based) applications for your use and designed the entire system specifically for these;

We have also added a large number tweaks and automations along the way to assist in the Kororaa experience.

Whats the point of it?

I must state that I adore the manual Gentoo way of installing. In fact, I swore against an installer for Gentoo for a long time and this stance has not really changed. What I wanted however was a way to quickly re-produce a desktop installation for multiple machines. I also wanted a tool that I could give to friends who liked the idea of Gentoo but complained about the "compile time". I dont think that missing out on the Gentoo experience because of "compile time" is valid and so I wanted a way to introduce my friends to Gentoo without having to build their systems myself.

I cannot more strongly recommend the Gentoo install method if you are serious about learning both Gentoo and GNU/Linux in general. I owe Gentoo a lot - I played with Redhat* back in 1998 (thanks to Andrew Tridgell) but then fell into "RPM hell" and went around from distro to distro in a mad seething rage of desperation. Then I came across Gentoo 1.1 and it was love at first install.

So, if youre someone who doesnt want to wait to get a nicely configured Gentoo system, is so afraid of the standard install method that its stopping you from trying Gentoo at all, or youre a lazy pig then this method is for you!

Note: You can use our stage3, portage snapshot and packages together with the standard Gentoo "Stage3 GRP" install if you want to try it that way too!

What else?

The Kororaa system comes pre-configured for a Pentium3. We chose Pentium3 because most people should have an SSE capable processor by now.

This means it will run on any P3 Coppermine core and later, including AMD Athlon-XP, Athlon64/Opteron, Sempron etc and Intel Pentium 4, Pentium M, Xeon etc.

Please note it will NOT work on a system without SSE support.

As of Beta2 however, we have also released an AMD64 version, which will run on any AMD 64bit cpu including Athlon64, Sempron64 and Opteron.

If you want more optimisation, you can easily re-build your system with all the current apps and configuration by changing your make.conf and rebuilding world.

Please note the system is currently BETA, a bit "hacky" and could destroy your harddrive or something even more nasty like bowed legs and a crooked smile.

wmhdaps goal is to provide a tool for configuration of the Harddisk Active Protection System (HDAPS) found in some R/G/T thinkpad models.
HDAPS is realized as an acceleration sensor mounted on systemboard and a userspace tool which detects based on acceleration values from sensor shocks and freezes the harddrive(s) until the "shock" is over.
In the current version 0.02 actually is only able to visualize the movements of the notebook as a 3D model based on the acceleration values read from sensor.
Enhancements:
- In Version 0.04 redraws only occur when something changed. This helps to save power. As it doesnt redraw constantly it gives the notbook a chance to enter the power states C3/C4. Nathan Lay kindly contributed the port of wmhdaps for FreeBSD. Use Makefile.FreeBSD to compile on FreeBSD.

wmhdplop project monitors your hard drives and displays visual information about their activity (read, write, swapin, swapout), and optionally (if hddtemp is running as a daemon), displays their temperature/status.
Main features:
- 0-portability, wont compile/run on anything without a recent kernel (see requirements below)
- useless animation reflecting disc I/O.
- another useless animation reflecting swap activity.
- annoying blinking leds.
- a textual information of your harddrive throughput.
- supports ide drives, and (not 100% sure) scsi and md arrays.
- display of the hd temperature if the hddtemp daemon is running.
Installation:
The `configure shell script attempts to guess correct values for various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses those values to create a `Makefile in each directory of the package.
It may also create one or more `.h files containing system-dependent definitions.
Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status that you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, and a file `config.log containing compiler output (useful mainly for debugging `configure).
It can also use an optional file (typically called `config.cache and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache or simply `-C) that saves the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. (Caching is disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale cache files.)
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try to figure out how `configure could check whether to do them, and mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README so they can be considered for the next release.
If you are using the cache, and at some point `config.cache contains results you dont want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
The file `configure.ac (or `configure.in) is used to create `configure by a program called `autoconf. You only need `configure.ac if you want to change it or regenerate `configure using a newer version of `autoconf.
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system.
If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.
Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.
4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean.
There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.

BasicLinux is designed specifically for old PCs. It uses a small kernel and busybox to provide a low-RAM Linux, capable of browsing the web, doing email, and functioning as an X terminal.

The current release of BasicLinux is particularly suitable for old laptops -- it has PCMCIA capability and includes MagicPoint (a presentation tool similar to PowerPoint).

The current release of BasicLinux is 3.32. BasicLinux comes in two versions: one boots from a DOS harddrive, the other boots from floppies. Both versions have the option to install themselves to a Linux partition on the harddrive.

BasicLinux has a slim IDE kernel and a small set of common modules. If you need a more capable kernel and/or additional kernel modules, you should get them from Slackware 7.1. You will find kernels in the /kernels directory and modules in the /modules directory.

As the name already suggests, ncdu is an NCurses version of the famous old du unix command.

NCurses Disk Usage provides a fast and easy interface to your harddrive. Where is your disk space going? Why is your home directory that large? ncdu can answer those questions for you in just a matter of seconds!

Trailerfetcher is video conversion application.

As an owner of a small home-cinema system I got an idea: Wouldnt it be neat if before every film you play, mythtv would automatically show you a few trailers of other cool films too come (or already there)?

Trailers would also allow you to "ease into" actually watching the film and cover the whole "lets get the popcorn"-phase, etc.

But I already knew what a hassle it is to download _one_ trailer from sites like yahoo or apple.com. So I decided to make it easy:

This application provides an easy to use interface for downloading trailers. It fetches a list from a trailerpage (currently only yahoo.com) and lists all avalible trailers.

It then summarize the found trailers and displays info about the title, the genre and a short describtion of the plot. All this is fetched and extracted automatically.

You can than mark the trailers you want to download and simply press "Download" to save them to your harddrive.

Ok this was the marketing talk. I wrote this software because I needed it (probably the reason for most open-source-projects), but it is far from feature-complete. It is usable though (it loaded all 73 currently avalible trailers from yahoo.com last night).

AFAIK it is perfectly legal to download these trailers. If anyone thinks it isnt: please feel free to delete the project.

Usage notes: Set the settings before retrieving the list! Some settings (e.g. the resolution) will not take effect if you dont.
