[SuSE Linux] Difficult choice for a newbe
by bodek＠iconnect.co.ke 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

Hi to all, Just wanted to share with you my little experience with SuSE 5.2. I just got one CD (kind of simplified version) with one of the computer magazines and wanted to try. I really love it, although it is quite difficult for people who (like me) now nothing about Linux. So I went to look for some books and got a few, unfortunatly all with and about Red Hat 5.0. Then I was thinking which distribution should I use, the one I started to like, or the one boundled to the books. Now, thanks to the list I decided to stick to SuSE and purchase the 5.3 version (although wanted even wait for the 6.0). Being a GUI guy, I like the KDE and didn't have any problems with setting the internet connection. Of course I still have to work on it, but at least I can use email and internet with KDE. I managed even to install the OSSfree and got my AWE 64 pnp to work, although still not yet at full power. Once again thank you all for the support you gave to others and to me. Hope I will be able to contribute something once I get comfortable with the new way of computing. -- Boguslaw Czerniakowski PO Box 468 Limuru, Kenya - 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] IPMasquerade and Squid
by jmunoz3＠pntic.mec.es 30 Nov '98

I have SuSE5.3 in my Lan, and I have install IP Masquerade and Squid. If I configure Netscape in a Windows95 machine squid works fine, but I cannot send and receive e-mail with Netscape (apparently IPMasquerade d'ont work). If I deactivate squid (direct conexion on Netscape), Netscape mail works. Is it normal?

Presarios do not use the 'system partition' scheme. They use the standard CMOS that most others use.

[SuSE Linux] installing QT ver. 1.41
by sashley＠strattonpress.com 30 Nov '98

30 Nov '98

I want to play around with X programming and thought I would try Qt. I discovered that there is a more recent version available -- 1.41. I have completed step 1 in the installation instructions (gunzip ... tar ..., etc.) Now I come to step 2: "Set some environment variables in .profile or .login, depending on your shell." It then lists six variables. I realize that this is a less than brilliant question, but I can't find the answer in the manual: How do you set an environment variable? More specifically, how do you set up Linux so that the environmental variables are set when you boot the OS? One of the variables (PATH) is supposed to "locate the moc program". What is the "moc" program? If I install ver. 1.41, is it going to screw up any other programs, like KDE? If these answers can be found in the manual, just a page reference would be great.
