quick backup on samba share
The following are instructions on how to backup an entire partition from a network connected machine onto a samba share. The backed up partition can be from Windows or Linux. The samba (cifs) share can also be a Windows share.
Samba machine is at 10.123.45.3 and share name is void.
It may be a good idea to compress the resulting files afterwards using 7z (or whatever) if you're short on disk space. You could use compression directly from partimage but I like to keep backups as fast as possible (and my samba server has a faster CPU than most machines I backup from).
Restoring the partition is done in a similar manner. Just choose restore instead of backup to file in partimage first menu.
Samba machine is at 10.123.45.3 and share name is void.
- Burn sysrescuecd on a disc
- Boot sysrescuecd on the machine to backup
- Press enter at boot prompt
- dhclient eth0 (assuming it only has one network interface)
- mount.cifs \\\\10.123.45.3\\void /mnt/backup
- partimage
- select appropriate partition, backup to file /mnt/backup/snit, no compression (where snit is backup file name)
- wait

physx hud
or physx visual indicator...
For some reason, by default, we see big green and grey letters in the upper left corner of the screen when playing a physx-enabled game. The idiots who put together the nvidia control panel did not put the option to disable this at the right place. Instead of being under the physx pane on the left, it's under the "3D settings" menu, just beside file, edit, view, etc.
Apparently it is only enabled by default on win7, not on xp.
