Not really. 2.2.0-pre2 (I think) has been released. If you follow the kernel mailing list, there is still A LOT of discussion about what fixes need to be in before it can be called '2.2.0', although it is proceeding down this path. IMHO, it sounds like there's still a lot of work to be done. I wish that I had time to help out :-(.

Linux is a 'faster' and more efficient OS. Better scheduler, better memory managment, better disk I/O, etc. And more reliable to boot!

I have a similar need, but I wouldn't trust a ext2 utility under dos. It is better to use a dos partition as a shared partition, and that can be accessed under both NT and linux.

[SuSE Linux] YAST won't die in 5.2, I need help
by hvarela＠lonestar.jpl.utsa.edu 30 Dec '98

30 Dec '98

I have been trying to work with SuSE 5.2 off of one cd I got some time back from Cheapbytes. This is a personal challenge, as I am installing it on some computers at the university, and want to setup as much as possible on my own... Everytime I install it, apparently successfully, the init messages scroll by, as normal, then YAST starts up again with the message "Probably didn't finish configuring, so YAST will start up anyway ; )" then I go into YAST, and it prompts for the installation media, blah blah blah. If I abort, I can continue loading Linux, and everything is fine... In this second case, I think I should point out that I am having problems with LILO, but I figured out what that was, and will reinstall Linux SuSE 5.2 again tomorrow, but, I still want to know WHY WON'T YAST DIE!?!?!?

[SuSE Linux] KDE Question
by bob100＠ibm.net 30 Dec '98

30 Dec '98

If, on the KDE desktop, you right click, you get a menu. Suppose from this menu you select 'Execute command'. You get a command line. Is there a clever way to call functions from this command line? How about execute aliases? (For what it's worth most of the functions, as well as the aliases, are in my ~/.bashrc.) -bob- ---------------------------------- E-Mail: bob gordon <bob100(a)ibm.net> Date: 30-Dec-98 Time: 16:11:28 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- - 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>>
