I have just upgraded my system from RH9 to SUSE 9.1. So far a few things are bringing back old memories that I'd just soon forget. 1) I for some reason do not have all of the man pages and do not know where to go to get them. 2) I do not have the gcc and make utilities and again do not know where to get them. 3) If I use the My Computer icon to browse an external USB drive the entire system will lock requring a complete poweroff to get going again. Mouse stops working, and Ctrl + Alt + Backspace does nothing. 4) CD won't play music CD's and just sits and spins. 5) Hints over services that are running in bottom right of the panel come up altogether and on top of each other and won't go away. Requiring you to click under them to pull up the application. I have a few more problems but these are the most immediate and any pointers or guidance anyone can provide would be great. Thanks, glenn
First question: Which "version" of SuSE 9.1 did you install? There's a Personal 9.1 iso that was made available on SuSE's site a couple weeks ago that is missing a ton of the development stuff. It is possible to install these by setting you install source in Yast (start Yast, Change Source of Installation, add (and move up to top of the list) ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/i386/9.1 (or any of the other update mirrors for the main site address work). When going into Install and Remove Software, you should see all the "Pro" goodies. If you installed 9.1 Pro, you should have those utilities listed in Yast->Install and Remove Software. You may also want to check out the list archives for using apt4rpm with SuSE. It's not official (I'm pretty sure :) but you'll probably like that after having used yum or apt on Redhat...

One of the few things that keeps me tied to my (%^&*) Windows box at work is that we submit our customer's websites to various search engines using commercial search-engine submitting software (Exploit's Submission Wizard). Any recommendations of something that would do the same thing under Linux? I'd really love to find something that could be triggered via CLI so it could be set up as a cron job, but would also like something with a pretty GUI for some of our Windows junkies to be able to use. Thoughts? Ideas? I thought about using VMWare to run the search engine submitter, but that's a waste of money if I can find a native Linux solution - plus I don't want to have to deal with recompiling kernels each time a new one comes out - not experienced enough to successfully do some of the advanced things yet :)

http://freshmeat.net is a very good search engine for available software. A few hits it turned up were http://www.resonatorsoft.org/submit_site/ http://www.xmailserver.org/davide.html (look at w3reg) http://pagecast.sourceforge.net/ there were others. I searched for "+search +engines +submit"
Thanks Anders-- I'll check them out. -----Original Message----- From: Anders Johansson [mailto:andjoh@rydsbo.net] Sent: Monday, July 12, 2004 11:09 AM To: suse-kde@suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-kde] Search engine submitter? Any good ones exist? On Monday 12 July 2004 17.55, Steve Kratz wrote:
