Has anyone experimented with using the Reiser file system? I am looking to install Suse 7.1 or Suse 7.2 when I get it :) This machine is a Netfinity 5500 with a Raid 5 SCSI controller in it. I have 69 gigs available. The problem is the file block size. With web files being as small as they are I can eat a lot of hard drive space using the default 4K blocks with ext2.

I tried to install today with Resier FS for the / partition. I made /boot and swap Ext2 as recommenced by the Suse manual. The install froze on every attempt. I went back and tried the Suse install using ext2 and everything installed normally. Tried again with Reiser, froze. To verify it was not just Suse, I tried Mandrake 8 with Reiser, same deal.

Has anyone else experienced this on a similar configuration?

Morning- I have been so impressed with Suse installing it for an ISP I am doing work for that I am considering blowing away my Mandrake 8 install @ home. This box replaced my Win@K box that was doing Internet Connection Sharing and failed miserably. The Mandrake box does not seem entirely stable, if I power down and then bring it back up to connect and share the Internet connection it does not work and I have to re-run the Connection Sharing scripts. My question, is anyone using Suse for simple Internet Connection Sharing? How about multilink with ppp? I never got that to work under Mandrake, but one modem is still faster under Linux than two modems under Win2K. This box has one job in life, connect to my ISP and share the connection to my internal network. Reconnect if the line is dropped. Before I dive into the ipchains set-up I want to make sure there is not a script like Mandrake that might simplify this. Thanks, -Scott

Just did a SuSE 7.1 install on a Netfinity 5500. Make sure you get the current 4.7 release of the SERVERAID ROM. I downloaded it from IBM site, until then I was getting lock ups. The also have a nice Linux based config program if you get the whole CD. I installed Resier on a RAID 5, worked great after the controller upgrade. Greg Engel

Does anyone know where to go or who to communicate with re getting things onto the konqueror wish list ? I am wondering if it is possible for konqueror to support opening an image of an Autocad .dwg file or an Autocad .dwf file. The latter was a format designed by Autocad to display in a browser.

Would anyone have any thoughts comments on this. Any better ideas ?

***************************** Speaking of Konqueror, has anyone noticed that the new version balks on Shockwave Flash anims? First of all, I can't get it to recognize the .swf type files, then when going to www.macromedia.com site, it just locks up! It worked before with 2.1, I want it to work with 2.2!! Anyone got any hints on this or how to get it working with the Netscape plugins correctly?

I'm using the latest KDE2.2 RPMs from SuSE on 7.2 Professional, and Konqueror is working perfectly, even on Macromedia.com. Have you tried ensuring that you have the latest flash plugin, and running the plugin scan in Kcontrol?
