am I hacked ?
by Damir Buskulic 16 Sep '08

Hi, I got some problems (disk access denied, bus errors,...) that led me to go into single user mode and fsck my partitions. I noticed then that there were some directories created in the tmp directory, called "dev" and "etc", and one file in the / directory called "success" with 0 length. At reboot, these files disapeared. Does anybody know if this could be a sign of a hacked computer ? I mean could someone have installed a rootkit or some such ? I'm not paranoid but this indeed seems strange.

7.3 with 43P-150
by Patrick Hartemann 01 Apr '04

Hi there, I've just installed Suse 7.3 on a RS6000 43P-150. The installation was working fine, but ... when I reboot the system, I'm getting this error message : Word called in boot-manager package not found. ... Failed to boot. Of course, I could configure the multiboot way, boot on the cd 2 and boot the system, but I should prefer to find the right solution. Thanks for you help :) Tchao Patrick

But I would like to make public my work and if SuSE wants to provide on there ftp-server it would be very nice. For alpha there is also a comunity version, why not for PPC? -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de

Life time for SuSE 7.3 on ppc
by Ingvar Hagelund 08 Dec '03

For how long will SuSE continue to produce security updates for SuSE-7.3 on ppc? If SLES is not an option, is there a future for SuSE users on ppc? Ingvar -- Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. Gandalf

Questions about RS/6000 dual 332Mh 7025-F50 and Linux
by Johann 06 Dec '03

Hello, I'll be acquiring a couple of these boxes soon and hope to be able to get Linux running reliably on them. Is it clear that running SuSe 7.3 on them is the best option? I've seen a few pages on the net saying that Debian 3.0 also works (though getting it running appears to be quite a struggle)? Does anyone have any links to installation HOWTOs? Any other information/links would be much appreciated.
