How to change the size of a partition, fi /home? Partitions can only resized if not mounted...

Depends. They can be resized online when you're using LVM and reiserfs (or XFS, but you can only grow XFS partitions, not shrink them).

@volker: we seem to be part of the competition, since we are sold, but that doesn't matter..

The partitioners we have are inferior, you have to admit that.

Inferior to what ? Not to any Linux distribution I know of.

In this time, it is possible, to graphicly resize, move, delete or create partitions, and the real changes are made in between shut down and start-up. Why shouldn't this be possible for linux?

It is.

Why should we, in this time, stil calculate, by hand, for half an hour, or an hour, to get it right, with all the risks to loose the data you do not want to loose?

huh? wtf are you doing ? Just use LVM in the first place. cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFaKsIr3NMWliFcXcRAhGBAJwOqTqKdPC0sXWMn1o/vDkf76uhKgCfYXRS c62HqumnZSTuZgdsPcDsSqM= =rhaH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Hello folks! I´m just trying to find out how to get my Broadcom-WLAN on my Asus A2D Laptop working. As this is the first version with the bcm43xxx-module integrated in the kernel I have no experience in setting up wireless networks on Linux. So I asume I´m doing something wrong. What I did: I updated today from a fresh beta2 to RC1 from a local directory (yum-repo). I tried to setup the card in yast: -I choosed the networkmanager-method. -e.g I chosed : "start at boot" instead of "start when cable is plugged in" which was the original state after installation. then I tried to start the connection via Knetwormanager-applet. From the other OS I know : Authentfication:open key: WEP Result: The statusbar grows up to 28% (Status Gerätekonfiguration) and then stagnates. What can I do? / What is the prefered Way to do this ? I would really be happy if I can get some help to get this working Peter Buschbacher Following: some of the output of dmesg: first part bootprocess, last part one try with knetworkmanager I think.
