OSS 10.1 beta 8 Trying to compile km_ndiswrapper-1.2-2.i586.rpm from 10.0 and am getting errors. Since I cannot connect my laptop I am NOT going to copy a 120 colume X 25 row error message here. One small part states: halt passed 1 argument, but takes just 0 then the errors start and the compilation craps out. Any suggestions short of sacrificing my first born? And yes I do need ndiswrapper because it is the only way to use my wireless card and no I -AM NOT- going to buy a different card so don't suggest it. Ken

Use ndiswrapper from 10.1beta8.
Hard to do that when the file is not on the beta8 CDs! Downloaded from factory and transfered to CD for install. Ken

You can use makeSUSEdvd also to make a CD and include the RPMs you like (and have place for). Disadvatage is that you first need to know what RPMs you might need. ;-) Once you know that, put the needed RPMs in /one/dir (nothing else in it) and the first CD in /another/dir and run: makeSUSEdvd -a /one/dir -d /another/dir -o /output/dir_for_iso or if you have the CD's and not the ISOs: makeSUSEdvd -a /one/dir -d /another/dir -c This might come in handy if you just want to add a few smaller RPMs to a CD. If you want larger amounts of RPMs added (e.g. MPlayer stuff and so on) it is best to make a DVD. Even with the CD6 there is plenty of room available. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.

Yes, I have used this. Unfortunately my laptop no longer will read DVDs but will read CDs. Which brings up another -annoying- problem with 10.1. After the install I went to install more packages, inserted CD1 and when I needed to insert CD2 I could not remove CD1 without going to a command line and either umount CD1 or use eject. I sure hope this is not the standard way of the automounter system now. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

makeSUSEdvd is more makeSUSEiso. It should be perfectly possible to make a CD. As I do not have any CD's anymore to try out, I am not sure. :-/ So when you just use the first CD, you can add the extra RPM and put it on the new CD. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.

I had this in older releases as well, never knowing exactly why, but "eject" always opened the tray. For 10.0 I had another annoying experience just yesterday: "yast sw_single" had no unresolved dependencies (yast said). The I selected package "qcad" for installation. Again Yast had no unresolved dependencies (according to its check). Then, when accepting the software selection, Yast popped up a window with automatically slected development packages, and the bad thing there is this: You can either accept or abort that selection, resulting in either installing all or nothing. This has a very long (and bad) tradition in Yast. Didn't ttry for 10.1 yet... Regards, Ulrich

See: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=152080 Hope this will be resolved with beta9 otherwise priority needs to be higher, as this is a real show stopper. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG Süskindstr. 4 D-81929 München Tel: +49 (89) 99 34 11 0 Fax: +49 (89) 99 34 11 99

it should be - it works for me, I just closed that one ;-)
