Greetings, My name is Raju and I am a parent volunteer trying to start a network in the school which doesn't have one and does not have the heart to start one due to dire financial situation. I have acquired a few "donations" from the local companies and am going to try my best to create a ICT suite in the school. The primary school in question is Furze Platt (Pinkney's Green, Maidenhead). I recently bought SUSE 6.3 and am trying to load it on a P-100/16MB RAM/2 GB HDD (for now that is the best I can do..). I ran into a problem which installing with YAST2 (first CD). All I could see as the first screen was the top left quadrant of a screen. Is there some way I can make it show me the whole screen? In any case, I continued with YAST (second CD) and everything was fine until the loading of the packages aborted. When I re-started the machine the software offered to install the rest of the packages. At the end of this I noticed that it had several errors relating to it not having found some-symbolic-link-or-file-or-something. I continued anyways..... The server seems to work fine now. Except I can't seem to load the diald package via yast. Either that or there is something wrong with "locate". Running "locate diald" only seems to give me _one_ line "/usr/packages/...../diald". Surely something is wrong? I think something must be broken in the database that answers to the "locate" command. Any suggestions? There must be some way of updating it without having to re-load everything! Sorry to ramble on like this. Unfortunately, I am trying to learn this without any physical hand holding ;-). At least I am getting some "flying hours" racked up on Linux! Oh BTW, the ultimate idea is to run a network of around 35 PCs (W9x), 2 Laser Printers, a few color printers with Linux server(s) with SAMBA, Squid2. All this on any machine that I can get my hands on. Sometime in the near future I will also start fiddling with AUC. Anyone got any experience with it?
