What do you mean by extarcting it? It is a Windows Installer Setup file (.MSI). It works only for Windows XP. I could install it. I have attached the screenshots. There is an issue with LIPs. You can not switch between languages as you can do with Multilanguage User Interface (MUI). This is what I guess. I could not figure out a way to switch the UI between Hindi and English.

Announcing..... ****************************************** The Ankur Bangla Live CD version 1 beta3 ****************************************** "HiJibiJbiJ" ========== "keno haaschhi shunbe? mone koro prithibiTaa Jadi chyaapTaa hoto, aar shob jol goRiYe DaangaaY eshe poRto, aar Daangar maaTi shob ghuliYe pyaachpyaache kaadaa hoye Jeto, aar lokgulo sab taar modhye dhopaadhop aachahaR kheye poRto, ta hole - Hoh Hoh ho" .... "mone koro ekjon lOk aashChe , taar ek haate kulpi boroph, aar haate saajimaaTi, aar lokTaa kulpi khete gie bhule saajimaaTi kheye pheleche - Hoh Hoh, Hoh Ho, Hah Hah Hah ha" .... "aamaar naam HiJibiJbiJ. aamaar bhaaiYer naam HiJibiJbiJ, aamaar baabaar naam HiJibiJbiJ, amaar pisher naam HiJibiJbiJ" This is HiJibiJbiJ - from Sukumar Ray's "hojoborolo". ..and the last beta of version 1 of the Ankur Bangla Live CD is named after this fantastic, "ever laughing" (if I may put it in that way) character. This release features a major upgrade in the core system (Morphix base), which should solve many problems related to hw detection, bootup and other misc stuff. Also, a large number of additions, enhancements, tweaks, fine-tuning, bug fixing has gone into the Ankur Bangla Live CD v1b3; see the Changelog below for the details. There should be an overall enhancement in performance for machines with less RAM (128 MB), especially in the Multimedia segment. Moreover, people using this CD can connect to the Internet now - please see the Changelog for details. However, in my opinion, one of the most significant enhancements in this release is the inclusion of the "Ankur Bangla Chhar Poka Naashok". ;-) Of course, there are many who disagree with me - my message for them, well.... HUMBUG!! ;-) This tool helps users to gather debugging information in case the CD does not work properly. After the information has been collected, it is dumped onto a floppy disk, so that it can be later sent to the developers of the Ankur project. To use this tool, while running the CD, switch to console mode by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2, and issue the command 'charpoka' (without the quotes), and the wizard will guide you through the process. Screenshots of this tool are available at http://clai.net/sayamindu/index.php?m=20031113 The ISO image can be downloaded (approx 380 MB download) from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43331&release_id=197316 Bugs should be reported at http://www.bengalinux.org/bugs Mailing list for people interested in the LiveCD is at http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bengalinux-distro Screenshots are available at http://www.bengalinux.org/screenshots/gnome/ I would like to thanks the developers of the Ankur Bangla team for the great work they have done over the past one year. A round of special thanks goes out to Indranil Dasgupta and Malay Mitra for helping in the production of the CD. Also, the people who have been most helpful in the Live CD project are the beta testers - and a HUGGGEEE thanks goes out to them - you all rock!! (..and thanks also to Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay - for carrying out the hard work of distributing the Live CD to the beta testers who don't have a high speed internet connection). -happy bug hunting to all- -cheers- Sayamindu Dasgupta (on behalf of the Ankur Bangla Team) PS: The Ankur Bangla Live CD v1 beta2 has been downloaded 149 times since it was first uploaded to sourceforge.net (not bad for a large ISO...) :-D ***************************************************************************** Known issues in this release ---------------------------- * The time is not displayed correctly * The disk mounting system is somewhat flaky * The system does not shut down automatically once you exit X (This is intentional - and will be removed in the final version) * The sound volume in Totem and in the GNOME mixer are both set to zero initially, please increase the sound volume once you are logged in. * GNOME Terminal does not work (no prompt) Changelog for Version 1.0 beta-3 (HiJiBiJBiJ) --------------------------------------------- * The core system (which handles the bootstrap process) has been upgraded to Morphix 0.4.1 * The boot failure issue for most machines should be resolved. * Most of the packages in GNOME were updated. * GNOME Games is more or less completely translated now (3 cheers for Progga!). * XFree86 4.3.0 has been patched to the latest version and hand compiled. * ATI Radeon users should experience increased stability due to the upgrade mentioned above. * Freetype2 has been upgraded to version 2.1.5 * Some patches from Ximian Desktop 2.4 beta has been incorporated into the stock GNOME install. * On machines with less than 96 MB RAM, a dialogue now pops up during the boot process, asking if the user would like to create a swap file in an existing DOS partition. This feature has not been tested very extensively - I expect reports from people on 64 meg boxes. * A network config tool has been added to the Live CD. This tool can handle normal ethernet configurations, and has support for wireless devices. I have not tested the wireless support as I do not have the required hardware setup. Feedback expected on the wireless support thingy. Screenshot of this tool at http://clai.net/sayamindu/images/network_config.png * WvDial has been included for modem users (I am still searching for a *stable* GTK2 based dialup tool - if anyone finds one, please let me know). * The disk mounting subsystem is undergoing a restructuring, and is expected to be unstable - please mail me and let me know if the harddisks/extra cdroms/floppies mount correctly in your system. * A new tool has been added - called Ankur Bangla Live CD Chhar Poka Nashok. This tool collects debugging and system info and dumps them on a floppy, so that the user can send the info to the development team later. * The Live CD now supports both the (semi)phonetic Probhat Layout and the Inscript Layout. Also included is a document on how to write Bangla in the Ankur Bangla Live CD. * Some sample pictures have been added to the "aankibuki" folder on the Desktop * An OGG file (under the Open Music Green license) has been added to the "gaan baajnaa" folder. * The Bangla Literary archive has been updated. * Some blurb on Ankur has been added (still incomplete). * The file selector originally used in the LiveCD has been removed - it was having some performance issues. * The buttons on the modified GTK file selector from Ximian work properly now. * Mozilla has been updated to version 1.5 * Xine lib updated to version 1-rc2 * NVidia drivers updated to version 1-4496 * Support for the integrated ethernet device in Nforce/Nforce2/Nforce3 based motherboards has been added. * The PCIUtils packages has been added. * Support for the graphics card (GeForce 4 MX) integrated with NVidia Nforce2 motherboard has been improved (now it uses the nvidia drivers instead of the generic VESA driver). * General hardware support is also improved now, as I have integrated the latest version of the database used by the hw recognition system to the core. -- Sayamindu Dasgupta [ http://clai.net/sayamindu ] The Illiterati Programus Canto 1: A program is a lot like a nose: Sometimes it runs, and sometimes it blows. |

nice of you to email me. basically we are working on making technology available to preserve and promote ethnic languages( punjabi as base to start with) and to make them compete with modern challanges by developed languages. BUT ALL THESE WITHOUT ANY GRANT OR FINANCIAL HELP FROM ANY BODY. so our work is slow , but our products are now selling at a reasonable pace and price and it is giving us encourgement as it is being used by people in real need. thier feed back has improved the programs and has made us more sure that usefullnes sells. But i would certainly like to make these and future things free, but how i don't know. till then we are working slowly. we have developed to major programs and one standard program *1.Multi Font Convertor -- to correct font discrepencies and equalize key board layouts. *2.Multi language spell check -- it works with any language and matching font *3.Standard Punjabi font *4. more than 100 support programmes 1&2 are standalone + can be called from any Windows programme with instant feature. regards Janmeja Johl 91-98144-83185 0161-2426246 2920, Gurdev Nagar, Ludhiana, Punjab, India ----- Original Message ----- From: "jnshah" <jit...@vs...> To: <ind...@li...> Sent: Monday, January 01, 2001 1:11 PM Subject: Re: Indic-computing-users digest, Vol 1 #279 - 1 msg > My dear Janmeja Johl > This is Jitendra shah. > i am actively working on a project for translation of Linux in many > indian languages. > I have applied for a major grant for the same. > May i know a little more about your product and your expectation for the > phases of activity (past , present and future) so that I could think of > including the same in my project which is meat to be totally free and > will be called gnubhaarati. > This project is likely to be taken up by an engg institution in Mumbai . > If any querry including apprehension, feel free to get back including > thru the indic computing list. > My work so far is on www.indictrans.org > You are requested to walk through the same. > May i request you to respond with your commebts > regards > -jitendra > > > > > > 1.

My dear Janmeja Johl This is Jitendra shah. i am actively working on a project for translation of Linux in many indian languages. I have applied for a major grant for the same. May i know a little more about your product and your expectation for the phases of activity (past , present and future) so that I could think of including the same in my project which is meat to be totally free and will be called gnubhaarati. This project is likely to be taken up by an engg institution in Mumbai . If any querry including apprehension, feel free to get back including thru the indic computing list. My work so far is on www.indictrans.org You are requested to walk through the same. May i request you to respond with your commebts regards -jitendra > 1.

INDIA... AT THE LINUX COUNTER: Linux Counter has a total of 138722
people registered. 1407 users have been registered by friends.
There are 124367 machines registered. This network guesstimates that
between 0.2% and 5% of all Linux users have registered with the
Linux Counter. So the total number of Linux users is probably
between 2,774,440 and 69,361,000 people.
Among the country-wide ratings, India is ranked only 137th overall,
when judged by GNU/Linux uers per million population. But in terms
of overall number of GNU/Linux users registered, India with 2843
registered users is only behind the US (28514 registered users),
Germany (11307), Brazil (9785), France (6479), Spain (5558), Great
Britain (5307), Canada (4600), Italy (4517), the Netherlands (3595),
Sweden (3300), Finland (3137 users). India is ahead of Russia,
Mexico and China. Probably improved connectivity to the Net here
would make more people aware of the Linux Counter, and give users a
better chance to register.
Linux Counter recently completed 10 years of its existance. This
compiler (FN) is proud to be associated with this initiative, as a
volunteer covering Goa-India. More volunteers welcome for regional
Indian states. If you use GNU/Linux, acknowledge your debt to the
volunteers who (and the philosophy that) made it happen! Not just
Linux the kernel, but also GNU! Register at http://counter.li.org

show you the filesize as single digit bytes, that's because it is a symlink
from the mirror folder. TeXLive is an ongoing project at TUG, so we would
sync the newest stable releases always," says he.
TUGIndia is making available the TeXLive 2003 collection (3 CD set released
by TUG), beautifully packaged in a nicely printed CD cover. It looks like a
collectors item. They have fixed the price at Rs. 1,000 per set including
forwarding and shipping costs. Says CVR: "We would dispatch CDs to the
individual/institutions who have already paid the cost (of Rs. 500 which was
the cost of previous release of TeXLive) and waiting for TeXLive's release
without any burden of extra cost. This is in recognition of their patience
and interest in TeXLive."
People who are fortunate to have a fat bandwidth can grab the images from
sarovar.org. They are free to make copies and distribute, but respect the
licences of the packages. Says CVR: "Recently, Springer-Verlag copied
TeXLive 7 CD and distributed along with one of their LaTeX books with
explicit instruction on the CD that 'contents of the CD should not be copied
or distributed' which is a clear violation of the licences of thousands of
packages in the CD. By doing such a thing, one invites the wrath of TUG,
FSF and obviously runs the risk of litigation."
Compilation of the TeXLive CD is the result of the hard work of hundreds of
developers' for several months apart from the terrific work of several
thousand contributors who wrote all the software solely for the benefit of
the user community. By purchasing the TeXLive, the cost of which is only
that of the media and shipping, you promote a great movement that stands for
software freedom, adds the Indian TeX Users Group.

BILINGUAL WEB-PAGES: Harveer wanted to know how to make bi-lingual
webpages with GNU/Linux.
There are two ways to it you could use font based method, where you
select the font and type, so font tags are used for it, and that
particular font has to be installed on client side. Dynamic fonts
can be used, but they won't work on GNU/Linux. Another way is to
make webpages in unicode. On GNU/Linux you can use Redhat 9/MDK 9/
Morphix, all of which have Gnome 2.0. Here you will have to do all
html coding urself. Mozilla composer can also be used, but its not
yet supporting rendering (the stable releases). Check out
http://www.geocities.com/alkuma/seehindi.html, that should help you
get started. On using yudit read
http://www.indlinux.org/doc/yuditguide.html
Karunakaran says that they are customising Morphix to make it
indian-language enabled, with commonly needed apps. Quite some people have
show interest in that.
Says he: "You can chekout what we are doing at
http://www.indlinux.org/wiki/index.php?IndLinuxDemoCd Also check with
http://smc.sarovar.org (the Malayalam localisation group). They made a
malayalam knoppix CD and it was probably used in some projects."
FROM MALAYSIA: The Malaysian National Computer Confederation (MNCC)
and Advanced Technology Studies Centre (atSC) have embarked on a
plan to promote open source technology to schools in the country. As
a start, they have initiated a pilot project, with sponsorship from
local businessman Datuk Siew Nim Chee, to train teachers in open
source software (OSS), says a report forwarded by Doug Loss

Dear Krishna Desikachari It is indeed a great move. Thank you so much for releasing the font under GPL. This will help us to further localize several applications.
