An 'non linux' person I am friends with wants to 'copy' his old 33 1/3 rpm records to cdroms to play in his 'home entertainment syste'. I am not a music type person myself, so stupid here hopes to help dummy there!!! Also, eventually to copy another friend's records to cdrom/dvd for He is a 'doze XP' user. My questions are: 1. Can knoppix 3.4 be used when 'mirrored', ie, booted to a mirrored image on the hard drive? Does it have that capablity on the cdrom? 2. IF so, what needs to be there to get it into the system besides a record player hooked up. IE. what hardware and software do we need for it to be copied into the system in a 'useable' format. His computer is modern enough, amd xp2600, 120gb hd, 512mb ram, and I believe a dvd burner?? I know it has a cdrom burner. I/he has (as far as I know) a SB16 live pci card for sound. It is on my 'hand me down' from him p3-850, but IF that is the most capable sound, then would this be able to input the sound from some 'home entertainment' system or do we need one with 'more inputs'?? Not sure his system has anything except the built-in sound on m/b. 3. What format should it be burned into for his home entertainment system. What is the 'standard' music cdrom format? Again, he wants to run it from the 'home entertainment system', which is a fairly good midrange system. Not sure what make/model, not at his place for a few days to see what inputs/outputs it has. I know that currently the TV is thru it, but not sure of its output(s). The whole project isn't a 'hurry up' thing, so.. I know that none of the records he has would have any anti copy stuff as almost all are pre 1990 stuff. He just wants to have them on cdrom to play back from..ditto the other friend. Some are 'fairly' rare..Marty Robbins 'hell bent for leather' album for one. ===== Cyclists should expect and demand safe accommodation on our public roads, just as does every other user.
