I consistently find bit-torrent takes way too long. PS - I tried http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3-Alpha2/iso/delta/openSUSE-10… but it doesn't work :-( -- Regards, Richard (MQ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] konvenientSUSE and opensuse-xgl-settings
by Krupanský Rastislav 16 Mar '07

Hello How is your opinion on konvenientSUSE http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=43378 and opensuse-xgl-settings htp://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=51201? I think there are nice tools. It would be great help for new users, because the biggest problem for users is adding repositories,install drivers... Is it possible to add in default installation for openSUSE 10.3? And for example it would be first step after installation.

Great idea! Also, it would be a good idea to code a yast module that imports settings and data from windows. This module could be used on the installation as well as on an installed system. greetings, jordi ----- Mensaje original ---- De: jdd sur free <jdanield(a)free.fr> CC: openSUSE-project(a)openSUSE.org Enviado: lunes, 12 de marzo, 2007 13:21:16 Asunto: Re: [opensuse-project] openSUSE @ Google Summer of Code 2007 Lenz Grimmer wrote: > I think it would be very cool to be able to remotely use YaST using a > regular web browser.

[opensuse-project] 10.3 Alpha2 ISO Metalinks
by albryan＠comcast.net 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

Metalinks were ready for 10.3 Alpha2 ISOs at http://download.packages.ro/metalink/opensuse/ when the mirrors synced. Note, these .metalinks do not yet contain repair information. *TESTING* Metalinks with repair information listing multiple ISOs are at http://download.packages.ro/metalink/testing/opensuse/collections/ (GetRight seems to have problems with these at times, but other clients are reported to work). (Repair info with single Metalinks for each file are at http://download.packages.ro/metalink/testing/opensuse/ ) aria2 is recommended ( http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=/Network/aria2 ) but please report experiences with other clients. If you have the KDE4 development installed, these should be usable in KGet (you'll probably have to compile it yourself). -- (( Anthony Bryan )) Metalink [ http://www.metalinker.org ] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-project] Information about @opensuse.us email address's
by Dave Crouse 14 Mar '07

14 Mar '07

Information about @opensuse.us email address's Greetings from the forum world ;) I REALLY hope this is the right mailing list to post this too lol. I'm subscribed to almost all of them, this one seemed the most appropriate. Opensuse.us is a forum for opensuse users. We have setup email addresses for opensuse users, and it's available for anyone that wants to sign up. Space is limited ...... unless google smiles upon us and gives us more if we need them. ;) I realize that these are not the opensuse.org email address's that people would prefer, but it's not "too" far off. It's the best I could do, and I hope it's well received. It seemed many people wanted to have/use opensuse.org emails, and since they were not available to the public/or users .... we would try in some small way to fill the void. Currently have 2,000 @opensuse.us email accounts to dispense. First come first serve basis, will probably be able to obtain more once these have been handed out....... but I make no promises. Interested ? Want one ? Anyone that is part of the opensuse community (irc/forums-any of them/mailing lists) can get one if they want.... How ? ----- >>>> READ BELOW ============================================= For anyone wanting a @opensuse.us email address , please post your request in the opensuse.us forum.... here: http://opensuse.us/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1825&start=0 We will setup your email address and PM your access information to you once it's setup. Your request for an email address must be made in this thread, do NOT PM me or other admins and do not email us your request. If you want an email address the request must be posted in this thread on the forums or your request will not be honored. This will allow a few of us to work on the requests together and expedite them and also assures us that you are real people and not bots. If your not a member of opensuse.us you will need to sign up and make at least the one post in this thread to get an email address. (Also keeps the forum usernames/emails names from getting out of sync. IE: one person having a username on the forums and someone else having it for an email address). The email service is google's branded gmail. Currently 2+ GB of space, chat, calender, documents, and more. As such, the TOS information is listed below. Email Terms of Service are listed below: http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/users/terms.html http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/users/privacy.html http://mail.google.com/a/opensuse.us/help/program_policies.html PLUS: opensuse.us does not guarantee ANYTHING in regards to the email service. opensuse.us reserves the right to cancel service at any time without notice for any reason. Any changes to the TOS will be posted in this thread ...( http://opensuse.us/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1825&start=0 )... and the TOS are subject to change without notice. Unethical behavior will get your account suspended or closed, totally at the discretion of the Site Administrators. By posting your request , you agree to the Terms of Service and have read this message. ================================================== Now, FWIW, we have no plans to discontinue email, we have no plans to change anything, however the above is just to protect us in case stuff goes horribly wrong. The opensuse.us domain name has been paid for thru Domain Expiration Date: Sun Apr 17 23:59:59 GMT 2016 at that time we fully plan on renewing it again. In any case, as you can see, we don't plan on this being short term.

[opensuse-project] NTFS-3G driver and boot time project
by Krupanský Rastislav 09 Mar '07

09 Mar '07

Hello. I´ve got two question. My first question is about the ntfs-3g driver. Now, when is in a stable version will be the ntfs-3g driver available in openSUSE 10.3 default?Will it be possible to write to NTFS partition?How is consideration of Novell? Yes, i see that some people discussed about it on this mailing list, but i don´t know how is result. And my second question is about boot time project(http://en.opensuse.org/Boot_time). The plan is to boot in 5 seconds. This means, from the grub screen until gdm loads there should be no more than 5 seconds. How does it look like?Are you going to plan faster boot time in openSUSE 10.3 than openSUSE 10.2? Anybody knows? Thank you. regards Rasto -- Tato zpráva byla vytvořena převratným poštovním klientem Opery: http://www.opera.com/mail/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help(a)opensuse.org
