I think this clears up any mis-conceptions I had about SuSE and YaST redistribution... I hope that the original poster forwards this to the original person who raised the question.

I'm sorry, we can't do anything about this, we got the demo from applix...

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Applix Demo

I have SuSE 5.0 boxed set, by the time I received my copy, the Demo time for applix had run out. As I was more interested in getting to know SuSE first, this did not concern me to much, however, now I am looking at trying Applixware. Is there any way (other than buying a new version of SuSE)that I can get a demo version of Applixware??

Hi, On my system, there is only one user at a time. I would like the printer to print immediately anything sent to it, even as a normal user. Is there a way to do this?

[S.u.S.E. Linux] X Mouseclick Dying Problem
by efh＠nessie.mcc.ac.uk 02 Mar '98

02 Mar '98

Hi Folks, This may not be a specifically S.u.S.E. problem but I'm putting it to the list because this is the only place I'm likely to find many people with the same general setup. I leave my system up and running continuously. The problem is: Once every few days, when I click with the mouse, suddenly X stops responding to mouse clicks. The mouse pointer continues to move around, but that's all. The only solution is to kill X. If I switch to a virtual terminal and kill the application in question from the command line, then I may get keyboard input to an Xterm window back. However, mouse-click is still dead; on occasion, after this, I have seen the pointer change to what looks like a very very tiny Xterm with a faint grid on it (probably about 40x60 pixels). I have KDE-1.3-beta running. This seems to happen most often when clicking on a dialogue button (e.g. "OK") within a large application (such as WordPerfect-7 or Applixware) when several windows are up (I typically have between 12 and 20 on various KDE desktops of which I have 8 in all). I hate to say it, but this leaves me with the sort of feeling that you get in MS-Windows when your application freezes and you are told "Quit your application and restart Windows" ... anyway, the effect is much the same! Since it happens after 2-3 days, it's frequent enough to be very irritating. I had got used to weeks of trouble-free uptime: it would be very nice to get it back. With thanks for any suggestions, Best wishes, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <efh(a)nessie.mcc.ac.uk> Date: 02-Mar-98 Time: 23:30:10 -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Just to make it totally clear, you may treat YaST just like a GPL'd program, and it may be resold as a part of the S.u.S.E. Linux package. However, the only restriction we make is that one may not create a unique commercial product out of it. Let us know if you have any more questions about this!

There is a bug in the S.u.S.E. init scripts for setting up an NIS server. The ypdomainname is not set in the ypserv startscript, and the server is started after the client. So you have to include a line like domainname $YP_DOMAINNAME in /sbin/init.d/ypserv and switch the links in /sbin/init.d/rc[23].d to lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jan 22 18:00 rc2.d/K25ypclient -> ../ypclient lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 22 18:00 rc2.d/K25yppasswdd -> ../yppasswdd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jan 22 18:00 rc2.d/K25ypserv -> ../ypserv lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Dec 16 06:53 rc2.d/S14ypserv -> ../ypserv lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jan 22 18:00 rc2.d/S15ypclient -> ../ypclient lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 22 18:00 rc2.d/S15yppasswdd -> ../yppasswdd Ciao, BB -- Bodo Bauer S.u.S.E., LLC fon +1-510-835 7873 bb(a)suse.de 458 Santa Clara Avenue fax +1-510-835 7875 <A HREF="http://www.suse.com"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com</A">http://www.suse.com</A</A>> Oakland CA, 94610 USA -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

You are allowed to do this. YaST is commercial, and there a no sources free available for YaST. But you can use on as many machines you want to. You are not allowed to resale it. The only thing on the CDs which is licenced software is the LNX database. There are several other 'non free' or 'non GPL' programms on the CD, most of them in the 'pay' series. If are confused what is legal to copy and give away and what not, look at our ftp site (ftp.suse.com). All packages you'll find there are freely distributable.
