I did a clean install of SuSE 73. I have several other hard drives in the system: sda1 /mirror (3ware RAID of two 45GB drives) hdc1 /basement (60GB file storage) hdd1 /yard (40GB file storage) When I go into YAST (Set target partitions/file systems) to try to asign mount points, it does nothing except leaves the menu going back to a YAST menu. I edited /etc/fstab, changing data1, data2, data3 (the names assigned during install, to /yard /basement /mirror but these did not take after a reboot, and trying to go back into YAST to set the target partitions did not work. Before I screw-up and accidentally erase a lot of stuff I do not want erased, can someone shed some light on how to get these drives back and mounted? Thanks so much! ===== Daniel Woodard __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Find a job, post your resume. http://careers.yahoo.com
Ok, maybe Im being silly, so forgive. Did you just change the names in fstab or did you also change the names in the directories. It wrote my former "/opt2" partition as "data1" - both in fstab and in the directory. I changed both back to "/opt2" and haven't had a problem.

I did a clean install of SuSE 73.
I have several other hard drives in the system:
sda1 /mirror (3ware RAID of two 45GB drives) hdc1 /basement (60GB file storage) hdd1 /yard (40GB file storage)
When I reinstalled, it renamed the above data1, data2, data3. I'm able to do: mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /data3 and mount it. My data is still there, but I had to manually mount it (ie not permanent) and I can't seemingly change the names back to /mirror or whatever without invoking a massive preparing to copy 9000 files or whatever happened before I quit that process. I need to rename /data3 to /mirror and get this into the fstab so I can begin living the good life again.

Enter newbie, stage right . . . Hello, a recent convert to Linux, here, hoping to solve a minor problem. I turned on "anti-aliasing" features in KDE and noticed that my font is now screwed up in console windows, although it looks awesome elsewhere. Any thoughts? BTW, as a long time Windows and Mac user, I think I am in love with SuSE Linux. Heck, if I can figure out how to get networking to my Windows PC working, I will probably marry it. Pip in Frenso, CA

Use the console YaST (the original one) to set your console font to iso8915-1. Jerry On Saturday 10 November 2001 15:56, Mike Reith wrote:

Hi Mike, Well, the AA issue, it has been discussed often enough that now even I know how to handle it :-)) (and got it running on my box!!) First, visit http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/chofman_ttf_72.html , follow the instructions and look for the package they tell you to dl and install. It is: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.2/x1/xf86tools.rpm This enables you to run 'fetchmsttfonts' in a console window as root while being online. The only trick is, that when running msttfonts once they will open a file with vi, the famous editor. To go on, you need to hit 'Q' for quitting vi. And of course, when they ask you 'yes' or 'no', 'no' will cancel the action, so better use 'yes' :-)) Then, restart your X-Server (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) and log in once more and your AA fonts should be there. As long as you just select AA and don't have the right fonts, it will look nok, I agree :-) Hope that helps, and have a lot of fun with linux!

Just I know I am just beeing a pain in the rear department now *grin* but it is not VI that is being started, is it? It is lynx, a text based WWW-browser. If it where VI that was being opened, you should've pressed <ESC>:q! or something like that :). But to complete the sequence: fetchmsttffonts yes q yes Gr. GJR

Geez, you're both wrong. If it were lynx, you'd have to confirm the exit unless you hit 'Q' (note the case). lynx is also a bad fit for displaying a text file.

At least I was a 'bit' right: lynx -dump $EULA|grep EULA &> /dev/null if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "error: EULA not found. Aborting now!" cd .. && rm -rf tmp exit 1 fi lynx -dump $EULA | less echo -n "Do you accept all of the terms of EULA ? [yes/NO] " read answer if [ "$answer" != "yes" ]; then echo "warning: EULA not accepted. Aborting now!" cd .. && rm -rf tmp exit 0 fi lynx -dump $EULA | less This tells the tale :) Indeed it uses less to display the EULA, it uses lynx to fetch the thing. :) The reason I got ticked off on this one, is that the script needed lynx (obviously) to get the stuff in the first place :) Gr.

Scheme put toppings on the pizza: Close! umount /data1 mv /data1 /mirror edit fstab /data1 to /data2; also change to defalts 1 1 mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /mirror For kicks I did another clean install, and everything went very smoothly the second time around. ===== Daniel Woodard __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Don't know if this is any help, but I use Kwikdisk to mount drives. Regards, David dg@stanwater.fsnet.co.uk on 11/11/2001 On Sat, 10 Nov 2001 12:42:50 -0800 (PST), Scheme Loh wrote:
