[S.u.S.E. Linux] SuSEconfig and default runlevel
by brauki＠cityweb.de 27 May '98

27 May '98

Hello, this get's a bit annoying: since I've installed 5.2, everytime SuSEconfig is run, the default runlevel in inittab is changed from 3 to 2. There _must_ be a variable in rc.config, but I can't find it.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] DHCP client setup
by braden＠pointcast.com 27 May '98

27 May '98

I'm trying to set up a SuSE 5.2 installation to use a DHCP server. I have installed the dhcp package, but I don't know what to do next. I found the DHCP Mini-Howto, but it doesn't mention SuSE specifically, and I'm unsure of what, if any, of its contents are applicable to the SuSE distribution. Thanks...

[S.u.S.E. Linux] A Standard for rc.local ?? (suse 5.2 )
by edo＠ce2usm.valparaiso.cl 27 May '98

27 May '98

Hi: I installed to use suse 5.2 few days ago ( since 1995 i did use redhat and before this... transmeritech :) ). Well, i was looking the standard of work for yast and suseconfig, but rc.d doesn't found a predeterminate rc.local style of redhat or solaris/sun. I would like to get some points tips for a future /sbin/init.d/local script. My idea is use rc.config like a startup options always, and a second idea for create a sshd startup script in the same directory ( create a sshd-suse.rpm with ths standard ). TIA!. Saludos Edo.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] WindowMaker

Hi All! I tried to compile WM on my machine, it has SuSE 5.1, but there was some file(s) that was missing. I don't remember the names, but it was something like libpng.so.1, but didn't have it. I just have the *.0. I've seen that some of you do use WM, so I'd like to know how to solve this little problem. Have a great day!

[S.u.S.E. Linux] XFMail message rules
by jonathan＠aracnet.net 27 May '98

27 May '98

I am using XFMail 1.2 (distributed with 5.2) and am trying to create a rule to delete messages from a certain person within a single folder (surprise surprise). I created a rule to DISCARD with user@whatever in the FROM field but it doesn't work. I tried select all and apply rules, but still nothing. What am I missing? Is it a regular expression or something? (I copied it exactly using the mouse) Thanks in advance. --- jonathan(a)aracnet.net <A HREF="http://members.xoom.com/JMarkevich"><A HREF="http://members.xoom.com/JMarkevich</A">http://members.xoom.com/JMarkevich</A</A>> Please take note: -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[S.u.S.E. Linux] inittab: bootwait feature
by lach＠lach.net 27 May '98

27 May '98

Hi list, I am trying to install a maxstation, from maxspeed, it's a thin client type device. During the install it puts a line in the inittab file: MX::bootwait:/usr/Maxspeed/maxstation/max.boot When I reboot the system after the install, it hangs at: INIT: 2.65f boot I boot off my rescue disk and delete the line out of my inittab everything goes back to work. I then execute the max.boot command after system booting is completed. Everything works correctly. What is the bootwait command doing??

[S.u.S.E. Linux] SuSE-5.1 kernel version mismatch with sources
by Ted.Harding＠nessie.mcc.ac.uk 27 May '98

27 May '98

Following upgrade earlier this year from S.u.S.E.-5.0 to S.u.S.E.-5.1, I have just found that I now have kernel version 2.0.33 and modules version 2.0.33 installed, but the kernel sources are for version 2.0.32. Scanning the 5.1 CD-ROMS shows that only sources version 2.0.32 are provided. I discovered this while trying to compile and install ftape-3.04d. This compiles for version 2.0.32 and, as a result, I am unable to use the resulting modules which refuse to be loaded by "modprobe" (" kernel-module version mismatch"). Although insertion of the resulting ftape.o can be forced by "insmod -o", it does not work: mt -f /dev/nftape rewind mt: /dev/nftape: No such device (whereas the same does work with the ftape.o which came with modules-2.0.33 on the S.u.S.E.-5.1 CD-ROM). This mismatch on the S.u.S.E.-5.1 distribution between the distributed binary kernel version and the source kernel version has really annoyed me. Short of re-compiling from the supplied sources to get a 2.0.32 kernel (which strikes me as a retrograde step!), is there a way round this? And what have the S.u.S.E. management to say about the version mismatch? With best wishes, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <Ted.Harding(a)nessie.mcc.ac.uk> Date: 26-May-98 Time: 20:29:27 -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

When you link, you have to include the math library... cc -lm -o mathapp mathapp.c (the -lm does it all ;-)) you just need it at the link, not if you just compile: cc -c math1.c cc -c math2.c cc -c nomath.c cc -lm -o mathall math1.o math2.o nomath.o -> ok ? That has nothing to do with SuSE... it's Unix in general ;-) Pascal /nick SuSE52 on #linux (IRCnet) root on www.student.prov-liege.be -----Original Message----- From: Jorge Daniel Ruckj <jruckj(a)tron.fi.uba.ar> To: S.u.S.E. distribution <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: mardi 26 mai 1998 21:37 Hi.
