Subject: Re: [S.u.S.E. Linux] Re: PPP-on/off Date: Mon, Feb 16, 1998 at 03:50:30PM -0500 Jim An update. SuSE does include the program netdate AND it has a man page included. That porgram is as good as rdate & has more options. Try both if you like, but rdate doesn't have a man pade and the included netdate does.

Greetings: Sorry for the confusion. The site address for Netscape info is <A HREF="http://members.ping.at/theofilu"><A HREF="http://members.ping.at/theofilu</A">http://members.ping.at/theofilu</A</A>> and the help pages can be found at <A HREF="http://members.ping.at/theofilu/ninst.html"><A HREF="http://members.ping.at/theofilu/ninst.html</A">http://members.ping.at/theofilu/ninst.html</A</A>>. Aslo make sure you read the pages re: netscape patch as this needs to be installed for netscape/communicator to be running with out problems. Now concering ezppp, I installed it on friday night. Read the instructions carefully in the HowTo or wherever its called. There a little bit confusing at first (at least for me...read nubie) but can be done. Also once you have ezppp runnig go to configure and play around a bit. There is an entry field where you can type in the program to launch at ppp startup. default this your location of netscape and ezppp will launch the product on conection to the web. After aweekend of mucking about, I'm happy to say this email is now from my linux box as per programs installed above. No more need for MS.... -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

In it's howto, the author (I don't remeber his name) said to start Netscape first and then start Ezppp. It has something to do with Netscape not reading the DNS list that Ezppp sets up.

OpenLinux 1.1 gives you a copy of StarOffice on it's own cd, for personal use. I don't know what the exchange rate for DM/US dollars is, but I think 20 DM is around the 50 US dollars needed for OpenLinux. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I would also suggest downloading the XF86Setup package from suse and installing it using YAST, then try using it to get a stable X server configured. I have the Millenium MGA card and this server and config script works well. Let me know how it works out for you. Hope that this helps.

When you tipe a command, bash uses $PATH to find it. Usually PATH does not include actual dir ( ./ ) so when you type configure bash won't find it. You don't have to move configure, just type ./configure to tell bash to look at your actual dir first. It's not a S.u.S.E problemm. It's a sintaxis one. Hope I've been helpful.
