[SuSE Linux] KDE question
by pepe＠hp715.ceam.es 01 Dec '98

01 Dec '98

Hi all, I've just installed suse 5.3 and I have some problems with KDE. Every time I start KDE there are 4 Kscd opened. How can I avoid this? Another is that, in KDE, a normal user can't access the CD drive, only root can. And this only happens in KDE, in any other wm all users can access the CD. Can a nyone help me?

[SuSE Linux] SO 5 versus applix and soon wp8
by mperry＠basin.com 01 Dec '98

01 Dec '98

I am interested in losing my NT partition and reclaiming that 6 gigs for something else. Dont quite know what yet... It seems that SO 5 has some issues regarding installation and I did order it on cd. I also have ordered corel wp 8 and after using sdcorps wp before, I must say that wp may be the one I end up with. It just seems polished and well done. I like applix at a functional level. applix seems to say, "give me work to do and I can do it". Can someone using StarOffice 5 post some basic comments about its function with regard to importing office 97 blech files especially excel blech and word blech? I dont care so much about powerpoint blech but it would be nice to know that it does that. I have a word97 documents which is 3mb in size that applix 4.4.1 chokes on. Want to do a little experiment? If you have SO 5 and want to try importing this file, I will shove it to my anon ftp server at work and you can have at it. If you have the adabas D documentation in word format, try reading the apeng.doc for import. Subjective comments welcome. Objective reviews accepted also. Bitches and complaints carefully recorded. :) Michael Perry mperry(a)basin.com ------------------ - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

the apsfilter won't help you if you by-bass it. try lpr file instead of cat file > /dev/... when you use the lpr command, you can send both postscript, ascii and dvi files to the printer. Try man lpr for more info.

If you have the adabas D >documentation in word format, try reading the apeng.doc for import. I've had very good results from SO5 so far, it seems quite faster than SO4. I've imported Word and Excell files with graphics imbedded and it looks the same on both formats. As far as I know, you can't import powerpoint files. The only problems I've seen is with people complaining about the install. If you get the libs installed and call them from the command that calls SO5, then you shouldn't have any problems running it. I don't. I'd be willing to test that experiment for ya if ya want. I don't have a file of that size in word format. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at <A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com"><A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com</A">http://www.hotmail.com</A</A>> - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] Upgrade 5.3 to 6.0?
by graham＠barnowl.demon.co.uk 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

I installed 5.3 as a new user. Since then I have updated a number of packages/programs. For some I have installed new RPMs from the Suse ftp site, but most I have downloaded in source tar.gz form and installed them. Is this going to cause any problems if I then upgrade to Suse 6.0? Considering that the RPM database will not show the version of the binary that I am actually using? - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
