[SLE] 6.2 manual
by tlambley＠cspops.co.uk 05 Sep '99

05 Sep '99

Whoo Hooo, 6.2 has arrived. I thought the manual had been redone? Still looks rather messy, and there seems to be plenty of German within. Perhaps it's some kind of jape? The contents look pretty similar to the 5.3 one. The RH one looks far more professional. Anyone else feel the same?

I did like it very much. So my question is what could you'all suggest like it for SuSE / Linux? You probably want to look into Bison, which is the GNU clone of BCC for Linux. It is only an IDE, using gcc and/or egcs for it's core compiler tools. Check http://metalab.unc.edu, http://freshmeat.net, or http://www.linuxnow.com/library.shtml for the latest version. > Also I've got allot of C programing books that deal only with dos. How much difference is there between Linux C and dos C? Is there any howto I can read about it? Hmm...I don't know for sure, but I'm sure the differences are just enough to be irritating :).

[SLE] SuSE 6.2 from Chumbo.com and a complain
by nhasan＠usa.net 05 Sep '99

05 Sep '99

Hi, Just got my 6.2 copy from chumbo.com $29.99+$4.95(S&H). For some reason chumbo.com bumped up the price from $23, but they gave me a free upgrade to Fedex 2 Day. One thing I didn't like was the cardboard CD sleeve. Is SuSE doing a bit of cost cutting? I am surprised that noone else complained about that. Got some work to do this weekend now. :) Nadeem -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Hi, > -----Original Message----- From: Michael Norman [SMTP:michael.norman1@which.net] Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 1999 2:37 AM Does SuSE support DVDROM drives and decoder cards which let you watch movies ? If so what about the Creative or Videologic cards ? AFAIK DVD drives are treated as CD drives, and as such cannot read the DVD format. It may take some time for DVD support.

[SLE] JServ last suggestion.
by alex＠orimail.com 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

Well, since everything works, even with Apache from SuSE box, I actually don't care there will be apache in future. If SuSE decided that directory structure should be like this - no problem. Just let us know there to find it .:) Because the problem actually is : JServ if it's runs without parameters tries to find "default" directory for apache .. AND worst of all -- somehow it actually finds it but i suppose in wrong place and it doesn't' return error messages and continue configuration. So user have no idea that something goes wrong ( usually there is a message - can't find apache installation directory or smth like this) Result : mod_jserv.so not compiled. And after all this it's really hard to guess specify --with-apache-installation=/usr..( or whatever it'll be ) SO It'll be very nice to see troubleshooting guide for this issue on SuSE support db. I think it'll solve all complains at least for now .Just not to make people search Internet to find out what to do . Because people who new in Linux and just have bought SuSE Linux have rights to know what's going on. And first place where they will go - on SuSE web site.(Hopefully :)) - or they will call SuSE tech support :) ) Thanks again to everybody in forum and SuSE team for great product anyway .

[SLE] Bugzilla?
by kar＠webline.dk 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

Does anybody have any experience with Bugzilla, or any of the other bug reporting systems? Enough to give a qualified shot at which system is "best" or any other comparison that can be used to choose amongst them. PS I wanted to do a search in the mailing list archives, but that seems to be impossible to do. Maybe such a facility will come later?? -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] No Luck Yet: System S L O W after upgrade
by mpayson＠eskimo.com 02 Sep '99

02 Sep '99

Still no luck solving this problem. I tried recompiling the kernel, but after ~8 hours of compiling time (on a P200 w/64mb) I got an error stating the kernel was too large... Arrggghhh!!!! The system doesn't seem to slow at the command line. Only in KDE is there a noticeable slowdown. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if that's just because the CLI is inherently faster, or it's due to a problem with K. The system is so slow as to be unusable at this point, so any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated! Thanks! Mike > I just upgraded to 6.2, & now my system is running VERY slow.

[SLE] A new Linux Developer Site...
by jlkreps＠navix.net 01 Sep '99

01 Sep '99

The sysop at http://www.universalthread.com indicated in an email message to me today that he will be adding a Linux Forum to the site soon. For those who are not familiar with the UniversalThread, it is a messaging forum that has various levels of subscription. The premium level is about $40/year and gives you access to all forums and services, which includes a message search engine, articles, source code, job market, etc.... People cannot use pseudonames or spoofed addresses. They can include their pictures, resume summaries, personal and business emails and electronic cards. Text is the prefered message medium. Access is via your browser. It hosts technical discussions on a wide variety of development tools. I first found out about it a couple of years ago when I joined it's Visual FoxPro Forum, which is now the #1 VFP forum in the world. Needless to say, you can forget the spam, porn ads, potheads, political extremists, anonymous mailers, slanders, hate-mongers and the various internet predators. You never lose messages or list entries. It will be pure Linux news, tips, help, code, etc., from your professional peers. At least, that is the way it is with FoxPro, Visual Basic, Oracle, Sybase, and the other forums. I am not suggesting that it replace this excellent mail-list server, but will be an excellent addition to your learning tool. I don't work for UT and I'm not getting a single perk for this notice. I do this because of the quality of the service. -- JLK "The measure of worth - 'wealth' - is knowledge and competence. It can't be stolen, hoarded, taxed or counterfeited.
