Hello again: I see that quite a few people have subscribed overnight. Please post a message to introduce yourselves. Tell us how you're getting on, even if you're going to say that the box is still unopened on a high shelf in the IT room! Please use the list to share what you're doing and what your problems are: it should become a useful way of sharing information. Tell others about the list - anyone who is using or thinking of using Linux in schools can join. You don't have to be our customers. Good luck Roger -- Roger Whittaker SuSE Linux Ltd The Kinetic Centre Theobald Street Borehamwood Herts WD6 4PJ ---------------------- 020 8387 1482 ---------------------- roger@suse-linux.co.uk ----------------------
The message has come down from on high to introduce ourselves. OK This is East Norfolk Sixth Form College. We've got it on two boxes - a standalone and a network box. The network box is loopy. We have NT with DHCP and it can get an IP address from the DHCP server, but can't ping anything. The standalone is fun. We have a 13Gb hard disc dual booting with win9x with two DOS partitions. (Old hang up) Getting the partitions to work was *FUN*. Dos doesn't (may I should stop with that) like working with linux created partitions. It doesn't like creating extended partitions without discs in them. Oh and we wanted Linux below cylinder 1024 - lilo problems. Otherwise, it's up, working and generally behaving itself much better than our last Unix box - SCO with no X.
