[SuSE Linux] Selective Mail Download or Redistribution
by subb3＠ibm.net 23 Dec '98

23 Dec '98

I have subscriptions to different mailing lists. I want to download all the mail from the POP server to the Linux system and forward the specific mailing lists to different hosts. Do I need to setup my own POP server, for my local LAN? What is the best way to manage mail from mailing lists? Any ideas appreciated. TIA.

Well, we never figured out why the classic Win95 could not see the fileserver. julie installed Win98 and followed the instructions for disabling the encrypted passwords, and it works great.

Re: [SuSE Linux] RedHat RPMs

Hi. RPMs made for redhat may work. Suse 5.3 is nativly lib5 but can run glibc2 programs if youve installed the glibc2 package from the CD. There might also be a problem with directories and paths. But it may very well work wit redhat RPMs on SuSE 5.3. Ola A > >Josh Arnold wrote: >> >> Hello, >> Do RPMs that say they were made RedHat work with SuSE.

hi. =) i have a problem using kde1.0. how do i make it the default window manager? according to the faq3.html i downloaded from kde.org, i should edit the files '.Xsession' or '.xinitrc'. but the problem is i cannot find those files in '/root'. and i only have 1 enabled user and that is root. i changed the 'xinitrc' file *suppose to be the generic xinitrc* in '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit'. i commented the lines after the line 'start some nice programs' and added 'startkde'. but it is still loading fvwm2. i've added the original 'xinitrc' file localed in '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit' to this email . i'm a newbie with linux. and i don't really know what to do.

I used xf86config to set the card up and it went pretty smoothly. Like they say in the manual, it looks kind of ptimitive but it did what it was supposed to do. There is one thing, though. Everything looks gigantic! The resolution is something around 340 X "another low number".
