I am using Netbeans, but I is graphical and does not allow for "text" code. Emacs and Xemacs does not recognize Java code, it treats it like pure text (that¹s ok) but I was looking for an "intelligent" editor, that would recognize (some) errors. Could there be a plug in for emacs that I don¹t have? Regards Even

Yaboot
by Andrew Montague 13 Feb '01

Joss, Thanks for your help. I read on one of the yaboot FAQs that kernel 2.2.15 or greater is required for Yaboot to work. Unfortunately, I have 2.2.14 (SuSE 6.4). I would like to use the latest kernel but I believe 2.4.0 is not ready for the PPC. What is the most recent kernel available for the PPC? Is there any good FAQs on how to upgrade the kernel on the PPC? Andrew > > Can you explain how you got yaboot working? I have a B+W G3 with 2 hard drives.

glibc
by Joss Winn 13 Feb '01

13 Feb '01

Hi, I am preparing to use Japanese with SUSE and am finding the necessary packages to install. I have come across one that wants glibc to be installed but i see that SUSE has libc installed instead. Can I ignore the dependency or should I install glibc? If I install glibc will it cause havoc with libc? Will I even be able to have both on the same system? I've no idea. thanks very much Joss -- http://www.josswinn.org/PGP_key.html
