[SuSE Linux] More Information on Star Office 5.0 and SuSE 5.3
by R-Hinton＠govst.edu 12 Dec '98

12 Dec '98

December 11, 1998 While usin gthe export /opt/..../..../.../lib at the command line after you have installed glibc librairies, will allow you to install Star Office 5.0 on SUSE 5.3. Be aware that the following three scripts will require the export statement placed within them: soffice, setup and psetup As Luca Columbi mentioned, the export statement should go something like this: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/the path you untarred glibc into:LD_LIBRARY_PATH When you edit those files, you can make the export statements a little more like those in the profile file... Also I just found out that Star Office 5.0 does not like my Matrox Millenium G200 AGP card with 8 megs of SGRAM. I had no little trouble getting X started also... Anyway you can set it up so that SO uses only the glibc memory and it does not hinder the performance of your system.... In America Star Office tech support is at 1-510-505-1490 and they are generally ok... Richard N.

If you can't get yast to work, just try fdisk. Unless Yast made the swap partition in the middle of the drive it should work, I guess.

[SuSE Linux] RoadRunner cable modems and Linux
by jlboers1＠yahoo.com 12 Dec '98

12 Dec '98

I am interested in getting RoadRunner for my internet access. I would like some of the pro's and cons folks have run into getting this up and running. I use SuSe 5.3 with KDE on a linux only box. AMD K-6-233 with 96MB ram. The system is running fine. I would like to get the single IP package they offer and pipe it into my linux box. From there I want to hook my other 3 win95/98 machines my family uses on a little home-LAN setup I have. The LAN is working fine right now. I am aware of the IP-Masq/Firewalling stuff that would be needed to accomplish this and I am currently experimenting with a demand dial up access to earthlink right now. I just don't have the cable modem/RoadRunner service info. Another question I have is: I have an old AMD 486-100 box with a 1.6GB drive and 8MB ram. Would I get the same performance if i dedicated this as a second linux box to the roadrunner service as the ip-masq/firewall box and ran my other 4 machines off of it, or should i just stick to my current linux box? My current linux box does nothing more that office stuff and internet. Any comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[SuSE Linux] Info on Corel WordPerfect Rerquested

I see that Corel WordPerfect 8 for Linux is available. I'd appreciate hearing from one of you with experience about how well it works in suse 5.3. How does it compare with MS WordPerfect. Actually, I'm much more familiar with StarOffice. How does it compare there?

[SuSE Linux] Help With Fujitsu Scanner
by bob100＠ibm.net 12 Dec '98

12 Dec '98

I have a Fujitsu ScanPartner 10C. SANE does not support Fujitsu. So how do I get my scanner to work? Or should I just give up rather than going on a holy crusade for something that should be trivial?

Re: [SuSE Linux] PCMCIA Modem Cards
by JTORRES＠WHOPPER.COM 12 Dec '98

12 Dec '98

Well after overcomming my Xserver questions, I am now at stage two of the game, getting PCMCIA modems to work. I have Linux 5.2. The manual is not a lot of help on this issue, so here are my questions: 1. I understand PCMCIA services are not pat of the Kernel in 5.2, therefore you have to load them as a module. I have my config line loading the serial_cs, and I run card manager; but when I run cardinfo, I get a message that there are no PCMCIA drivers in /etc/devices. What am I missing? Is there a easy way to install PCMCIA devices? 2. Does the updated kernel for 5.2 includes the PCMCIA support? If it does, is there anything special I need to do during compilation? Your help is greatly appreciated!!
