I wouldn't actually say the support staff "knows" linux. Times I've had to call, (which was only because I IpTabled myself out of the router -- idiot) the service people were friendly and sympathetic, but with NO experience of *nix. The fellows I talked to tried their best, and actually took notes from what I said I was trying out (ifconfig, route and friends), but actually told me that their boss was giving them dirty looks for trying to "support" one of those Linux people. Their manual, interestingly enough has sections on UNIX installations, which basically back out of it all by saying that typical *nix users are smarter about all this stuff, and should make it all come out fine by setting up their own flavor of DHCP. If you know of genuinely *nix-savvy tech support folks there, could you mention names? I'd ask for them by name at need, and send kudos-type emails to their managers commending them for their Linux expertise. Cheers.

Well put statement suggested in lilo.con in the appriate localtion suggested but jut know the system in question just power off again for no good reason. I am running SuSe 7.1 Kernel 2.4.13 Mantel RPM. 512 MB RAM 10 GB (ReiserFS / ext2 /boot) Matorx Millimum 2 MB (It's work machine ) D-Link 538 TX+ 10/100 MB What noticed this occurs when memory drop below 350 MB the system shutdown when i am going in to X/Gnome. What i find strange is i am running RH 7.1 + Kernel 2.4.13 Kernel.org with exact same MB/RAM/HD/NIC etc.. and all it well with it. I have had this problems since kernel 2.4.0 . I have checked RAM with memtest and it check out i have switched ram from RH 7.1 Box with this one done memory test as well it check out but still occurs. I have always love SuSe but seriously thinking of calling it quit's with this distro. I never any problems with other distro/kernels acting like this. Any ideas :) Alex :)

Hi Has anyone got Realplayer G2 working with SuSE 6.3? If so, is it straight forward to install? I have got an alpha version of the generic binary for kernel 2.2. What install procedure did you use? Is it stable enough to use? Thanks Rich <HR> <UL> <LI>application/ms-tnef attachment: stored </UL> N§²æìržzÇ§ué[h²ë)îÅë§²æìržzË¬yÊ&ÚuØÚÊ&©Ý²Ç§ué[h²ë)îÅè^.±ç([(rØ^¶m§ÿðÃ.±ç(ô®Š+·ðèïÅ

Where is package hardsuse?
by George H. Griffin 25 Jun '01

25 Jun '01

Hello: I have been unable to find the package "hardsuse" that is supposed to contain the script "harden_suse" in series "sec". I have looked on both the 7.1 and 7.2 cds, and on the SuSE ftp site (for 7.1). Can anybody tell me where else they might be? Also, is sftp, in package OpenSsh with 7.2, available in 7.1? I cannot find it there. (I want to get my new 7.2 installation up and running before I upgrade my 7.1 installation, but need to transfer files between the two machines securely.) Thanks in advance, George -- George H.

Now that I've tried it again, PGP seems to have "fixed itself". That's really strange.

How NOT to have problems with XFree4.0.2 glx and nVidia TNT2
by Tor Sigurdsson 09 Apr '01

09 Apr '01

For the interested, there is an update to the nvidia drivers in the 7.1 package to be found on nvidias website ( http://www.nvidia.com ) If you install it in textmode while the "Will now boot your computer" dialogue is showing ( in the install phase ) then you can select glx/3D acceleration in the GUI selection, without worrying of crashing your computer. -tosi -- ______ /---------------------------------------\ \ | Þór Sigurðsson | Tor Sigurdsson | t | | Netmaður | Network Specialist | o | |-----------------------------------------| s | | tosi(a)rhi.hi.is | i | \---------------------------------------/_____/

[SLE] 486 dx 33 under linux
by Oliver Ob 05 Apr '01

05 Apr '01

Hi mates, after again more and more differences oon the german list, on trustfully come to you and ask you... I got some old 486dx33-isa computer as a present. it has 2400 baud internal, optics at 8000 cdrom, 2x 200 mb at hdd, isa ne2000 included. Now the question: As we write 2001 already, what use has one still got for such an old thing to be used under linux console environment. hope you don't treat this as a joke-question. I shall today give you more information as I did before to rise possibility of adequate answers: 486 runs with 4 mb - is that enough for gateway-firewall-routing purposes? -- *º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨¨*¤Oliver@home*º¤., ¸¸,.¤º*¨¨*¤

Network card trouble

From: "Alex Risselada" <risselada-a(a)hetnet.nl> Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2000 19:35:10 +0100 Message-ID: <0bad45647181db0NET015S(a)hetnet.nl> Subject: Network card trouble Hello. Last weekend I bought a netwrork card for my brand new 486 Linux server. It was "NE2000 compatible and Software Configurable" First I tried to configure the card whith the shiped diskette, which let me to set base adress, an Interupt setting. Unfotunatly, this wasn't going to work. The next thing I tried was to boot a one disk linux distro (from Toms ;) But it only showed my already working NE2000 card at adress 300 IRQ5. Then I booted the good old Windows 95, and with a lot of hacking I managed te get my card in the Hardware list, without any errors ( at IRQ11 Adr 340) I thougt maybe the card would remember it's setting when I boot back to linux, but this was a big illusion... - Any thing I forgot? - Is there maybe a test tool to check if the card is functioning? - Is it possible to attacht my 2nd Network card to the 1st network card, which are in the same conputer, without any damage? Thanks in advance.. Alex Risselada
