[SuSE Linux] console font colors
by mlmayo＠texas.net 15 Dec '98

15 Dec '98

Hello, I'm new to the list so please excuse me if this has already been asked. I have searched the support database and was unable to resolve my question. I would like to change the color of the console font to green on black since this seems to be easier on the eyes and I'm spending more time these days on the console than in X . YAST has a very nice way to change the font, is there something similar for the font color? Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have gotten the download off the net and untarred it. The setup will not run. Can't get any reason why but suspect libgcc is the problem. Anyone else had the problem and found the cure?

Hey all, I am a newbie and have been using S.u.S.E Linux on an old 486, and now I am ready to install Linux on my main P2 computer, currently running NT 4.0 I bought a Linux book that came with a CD which included Read Hat Linux 4.2. My understanding is that the two flavors only differ in the installer. If this is the case which is better for my set-up: P2 64MB/4.0MB/333MHZ w/SCSI and Permedia 2 Currently running NT with NTFS Want to dual boot with Linux. What's the deal with Linux and NTFS?? I hear that only S.u.S.E supports NTFS? True?/False? I believe I have to partition my drive, and use a different file system for the Linux partition? What utilities can help me? And finally, I want to load LinuxPPC on my G3 PowerMac. Is there any major differences between LinuxPPC and x86 Linux? Thank you all very much!

[SuSE Linux] NFS won't serve / (the root) directory properly
by cworley＠altatech.com 15 Dec '98

15 Dec '98

Hi, I'm trying to export the entire root directory. My /etc/exports file has the entry: / <machine name>(rw,no_root_squash) (Where <machine name> is the machine that wishes to mount this system). Rpc.nfsd won't allow the subdirectories of root to be viewed by the client unless I explicitly put each subdirectory (of the root) into the exports file, as in: /etc <machine name>(rw,no_root_squash) /bin <machine name>(rw,no_root_squash) /sbin <machine name>(rw,no_root_squash) etc... Without such entries, the NFS server logs messages like "<machine name> tried to access /bin". Any idea how to convince NFS to export the root file system and all subdirectories without explicitly naming each in /etc/exports? I figure there's some sort of security feature that needs to be disabled. Note: I don't have this problem in RH5.1, so it's either the rev of NFS or some security feature specific to SuSE.

The problem is that some Permedia 2 cards don't work with the Permedia X-server. The problem occurs only with cards that have a TI-Ramdac. Unfortunately for me, that was the exactly what was on my card. The absolutely best resolution I could manage to get, was a measly 640x480 in 16 colours (try netscape with that; YUCK!)
