Re: [orca-list] orca audio guides

[ashley <ash cox talktalk net>]

Mac will play the files, I am using my mac now. I think that is a good idea. I am working on producing some audio guides, for the beginner and the advanced. I have one posted on my website,

www.ashleycox.co.uk

It's a vinux install tutorial. It's in a zip file at the minute but if any of you wanted to upload the mp3 file to another server, such as lal recordings, you are more than welcome to do so.

Thanks,

Ash.

greetings,
I had an opertunity to sample Krishnakant's orca walk-throughs recently.  I think they would be useful to newcomers to gnu/linux+orca.  I was thinking about updating the "audio guides" section of the orca wiki to include these as well.  I have a few questions first.

(A) Other than Listen and Learn recordings (the new home for Darragh's works apparently plus some other user contributed files), Krishnakant's new tutorials, and Michael Whapples' audio guide on installing GRML, are there any other useful audio guides relating to orca that should be pointed out on the wiki?

(B) Is it possible to consolodate all the main orca audio guides to LALRecordings?  Then we could make it easier for newcommers with one-stop-shopping as far as their audio tutorials go.  And future additions wouldn't require new updates to the wiki pointing people all over the web.

(C) Michael's grml and Krishnakant's orca tutorials are in .ogg format.  I'm not sure about Macintosh, but I know Windows Media Player does not support this format by default.  To where should be point non-linux users to find codices to support the .ogg format?  These sorts of tutorials are great for giving users of other operating systems a taste of orca before deciding to try out gnu/linux.

(D) it appears the three recordings pointed to on the wiki are no longer located at the digitaldarragh site.  I tried right-clicking on the links atwww.lalrecorddings.com and went to the "save target as ..." option to determine the exact path and file names, but the save dialog said I was trying to download "3.html."  Does anyone have any idea how to change the links over from the digitaldarragh site to the lalrecordings site?
