[SLE] Problem with Text-Mode YaST
I'm setting up a web/data server at my company site using SUSE 10.1. Thinking I'd be cool and ultra geeky, I setup the system wihout KDE or GNOME. In going through YAST (text mode) I realized I needed a few packages. I went to install them. When asking for the discs, however, I was told to insert 10.0 discs. I verified that the system was 10.1. On an unrelated note, I'm behind a corporate firewall. I typically get out to the internet using my proxy account. This usually comes up when I launch Opera or any other browser. How do I get it to request my username/password if I'm not using a browser? -- k -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

YaST, Network Services, Proxy will set it system wide for programs that know to look for it. If you use text based browsers like links or lynx then you need to set those manually in each program.

Actually, what you do through YaST is just set the proxy_http and proxy_ftp variables. You should not have to set those manually in any application, unless it's a particularly simple-minded one. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

And your install sources are also 10.1? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

Yes, it is very weird. I went through and installed 10.1 from CD (this is a test server which is being installed on an older (P-IV 2.4GHz) workstation and doesn't have a DVD drive...grrr...) and all was well. When I wanted to add something (I forget what) I was prompted to insert the 10.0 CD 2. Not thinking what it said, I just put in CD2 from where I installed. It then kept repeating that it wanted 10.0 CD2. That's when I noticed the issue. I went ahead and did the Windows thing - reformatted and included KDE in the installation. I'll normally boot it to runlevel 3 but will have KDE around for management. This is my first SUSE server at my department! I will be running a Wiki for our documentation. I'm not telling anyone that the underlying server will be a LAMP stack. :) -- k -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
