|
| Motherboard | - | Vesta motherboard with Intel 810E Chipset (100 MHz System Bus, UDMA66) |
| Processor | - | Intel Celeron Processor 1.2 GHz (Intel family 6 model 11) |
| RAM | - | 128+32=160MB Hundai (Initially it was 64MB then 32MB burnt so I put 128MB more) |
| Display | - | Intel 82810E Onboard Graphics |
| Sound | - | AS97 Onboard Sound |
| Flopy Drive | - | Sony 1.44 3.5" as drive A (/dev/fd0) |
| CD-ROM Drive | - | Acer 52x max connected as master on IDE-2 (Initially it was Creative 48x but it started being ill too much so I replaced it.) |
| Hard Disk | - | Seagate ST320413A 20 GB with UDMA-5 connected as master on IDE-1 (Initially it was Seagate 6GB) Now the geometry is somewhat like this:-
hda -> 20GB
[They assume 1000 instead of 1024 as multiplier
so it is actually 18.65GB]
hda1 -> ext2 PCQ RedHat Linux 7.1 4.89GB
hda2 -> FAT32 Windows_XP 4.88GB
hda3 -> FAT32 Windows_98/QNX/BeOS 4.88GB

hda6 -> FAT32 Utility 1.69GB
hda7 -> Swap Storage 298MB
hda8 -> NTFS Storage 8MB

Too many to be written at this time. I'll write them whenever I'll get more time. But for now here are some important files from my system:-
| CONFIG.SYS | This file is on my hda3 partition with Windows-98. It is not a general file and might be usefull to you with a slight modification. |
| AUTOEXEC.BAT | This file is on my hda3 partition with Windows-98. It is not a general file and might be usefull to you with a slight modification. |
| hindi.reg | If you are running Windows-2000 or Windows-Xp and has installed hindi support then install this reg file to get most of the things in hindi. If you can enhance it or if you have the hindi version of Windows-2000/Xp then please send me the better file. |
Note: I needlessly zipped the files just because my server dosen't support files of unknown extentions.

Actually I, with the help of my friend Rahul, made a console UTF-8 font in Hindi and the locale of Hindi was already there in Linux so even on the text console you can work in Hindi. Though it doesn't work as good as it should but I am sure that it will work as desired after the arrival of new XPSF format because it's draft is promising to have all the facilities needed. Before going further you might be interested to view this screen shot. So here is the console font hindi.psf
Simplly copy the PSF file to /lib/kbd/consolefonts and then change the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n as below:
#LANG="en_US" LANG="hi_IN.utf-8" # Problematic sometimes SUPPORTED="en_US:en:hi_IN:hi" #SYSFONT="lat0-sun16" SYSFONT="hindi" SYSFONTACM="iso01" # I'wd also like to change this in future
You may now restart or do a setsysfont or whaterver you want but to have some more fun replace your /etc/rc.d/rc.local with my rc.local before restarting and look what happens after restarting.
Now if you didn't set the LANG before then set it and test Hindi on linux:
LANG=hi_IN.utf-8
echo -e "\33%G" # It will enable UTF-8 on console

You can also visit my site using 'lynx' (I recommend 'links') like this:
lynx http://pragya.cjb.net
then select the frame 'home' and on the home page select the link 'Hindi' or if you are already in lynx then select this and WoW it is really in Hindi
