[SuSE Linux] Using a nulmodem to create a network

Hi, I want to use an old 486 as a PostgreSQL server for my windows computer. I don't have a set of network-cards, but i wonder if it is possible to use a nulmodem cable to connect my Linux and my Windows/Linux box. Does anybody know how to get this done?

[SuSE Linux] Internet/PPP Question
by assalonej＠kpe.com 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

I know this is one of the most common questions in Linux, but how do i set up my ppp connection? I tried using yast and kppp, but neither one connects, and the SuSE manual doesn't offer too much help. All I need is for someone to tell me the appropriate docs to read (there's so many). So far i've gone through the ISP-HOWTO and the PPP-HOWTO, but i'm still a little confused. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Re: [SuSE Linux] Need your support for S.u.S.E Newsgroup
by regular_guys＠yahoo.com 09 Dec '98

People..PeopleWhat is this? You are bashing one of your friends? I thought I'm coming up with something to help you better, but instead of kudos, I get some negative remarks. Talk about disappointment!!! When I'm asking for Newsgroups, I'm not asking to get rid of Mailing list???? Come on, all other UNIX or LINUX, who has lots of newsgroup, has mailing list too. Am I wrong? Ok, granted you're sick and tired of all the Spam or whatever shit drives you nuts in the newsgroup, just read your mailing list. Hey, some people still likes newsgroups (Oh, I do think mailing list is a cool thing. really!). Again, you have to support anything that may makes things easier for newbies (well, you don't have to, you're expected to ;p ). Like the other person said in this mailing list "Even M$ has 100s of newsgroup related to its products" If you have mailing list only, a newbie may not know how to subscribe. I saw various Usenet messages where newbies asking, "How do I subscribe to this or that"---(doesn't it tell you, they have access to newsgroup before mailing list?). My co-worker next to me thinks just like you do."if they're not smart enough to subscribe to simple mailing list, may be they shouldn't even be using Linux" ----I think for people like him, Linux sometimes become the operating system choice for computer newbies. Shame on them!! ;p Anyway, I saw this often... one person would say something negative, and there goes a flow of people saying negative stuff about that.... ;p Some people doesn't even read the original message, they just wanna say NO he he he (No, I'm not talking about you, I'm just talking about them) Just another Regular Guy ---D Anich <fourkats(a)ihug.co.nz> wrote: > > > Brad Shelton wrote: > > > On Mon, 7 Dec 1998, Regular Guy wrote: > > > > > > > > Hi All, > > > I don't know why S.u.S.E doesn't have any newsgroup for their > > > product while other linux distributor has theirs? > > Ask SuSE.

Re: [SuSE Linux] Please. Information for a ThinkPad600, 1024
by linux1＠mail.crc.com 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

Not sure what your issues are, installing linux or the X server. But I found that the thinkpad 600 had a problem with bzimages. So when I installed, it would not reboot. I had to boot off the cd, say boot off installed system, then finish the installation. Then I had to rebuild the kernel making a zimage. Then the 600 would boot fine (I never needed the floppy=thinkpad) but did need the thinkpad boot disk off the Suse web site for 5.2 install (did'nt need it with 5.3). As far as the X server, in theory the chip should be supported under 5.3 (not 5.2) I use Xig Xserver and it works just fine (but costs money, around US$250 or something like that). - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
