[SuSE Linux] /etc/issue

This is kind of a cool way to use the S.u.S.E. boot logo hack I did.

[SuSE Linux] Modem is busy?
by steve＠millsphoto.com 31 Aug '98

31 Aug '98

I have just installed 5.3 and haven't totally mastered the configuration. My kernel is set up with PPP and SLIP support, properly compiled and boots nominally. I see the messages about PPP and SLIP and nothing appears wrong. The modem is a Diamond Supra Express 336i PnP asvd. When I try to access the modem by checking my email (diald is installed...don't know yet how to configure it) I get nowhere. The generic mail client locks up and can't do a check, so I have to shut down the session and restart. When I use Kppp, it says my modem is busy. I WANT to be using xfMail but haven't installed it yet. I used YaST to set this thing up and believe it is all correctly done. I checked the Activate box (even tried leaving it unchecked) but I can't dial out. What can I do differently (read "correctly") ? Thanks.

When the ehternet driver loads, what does it say for the HW address.

[SuSE Linux] SCSI/IDE mixed system Questions.
by hettar＠teleport.com 30 Aug '98

30 Aug '98

Maybe I get a reply back before SuSE 5.3 gets here. Today or Monday I am expecting it. Situation: I am building a totaly new system, most of its built now. System basics: Intel P II 400 / Iwill BD100 Mhz-bus mainboard. Ram: 128Megs PC100 Sdram Video: Xpert@work AGP 8meg OEM / Quantum3D X24Meg (two voodoo2s) Monitor: 17in ViewSonic 17ps Network/Modem: NE2000 Ethernet Card, Hayes Acurra 56K flex external Sound Card: SoundBlaster 64Gold TV/Radio Tuner: Happauge v401 stereo Radio/TV tuner ..now for the catch.. Storage System Devices: IDE: CDROM 24X speed IDE: 6.4Gig Western Digital ..second catch.. SCSI #1 Adapter: FirePort 40-UW With: PlexWriter CDR 12X4 (Ultra scsi) (external) With: Syjet Syquest 1.5Gig removable (Ultra scsi) (external) With: Zip 100 (scsi II) (external) ..third catch.. SCSI #2 Adapter: Adaptec 2940-UW With: IBM 4.5Gig (Ultra Wide Scsi) (internal) ..wow I am done..all of this is in one box.. ..I know most of this set up works already.. The Asking Catch: I have had this system up with one SCSI Host Adapter before and it was with a different CPU and all HardDrives were IDE. Now this new system I am going for broke(boy am I ever) I have put in a UW SCSI HardDrive for use as my Linux Disk. And I have one IDE for winblows(winblows aint worth a scsi hd) Now, I just want to know if this should give me any problems that I should be prepared for. I like to use LILO, and LILO will be on the /mbr of the IDE drive pointing one boot to winblows on the same IDE drive and another to Linux on the SCSI drive.. Should I expect any problems with my plan? Reasons for putting the UW HD on a second SCSI host adapter, is because I have heard that having any other device that is not the same as your fastest device on the SCSI chain will slow it down to that speed. Like I might get rid of the zip on the #1 scsi host adapter, just cause of the CDR. Or put it on, only when needed. And UW is faster than just Ultra devices. I am assuming that this set up will slow Linux boot up/computer boot up, but thats just cause it has to initilize the cards and find whats on it at the given time. 1) LILO will boot from the IDE/mbr to a SCSI Linux native root / (problem?) a) this set up has two SCSI host adapters to figure out.. (problem at boot?) 2) any suggestions? -guess I will find out when 5.3 gets here (soon) ;)- Steve Udell hettar(a)teleport.com sudell(a)teleport.com - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] S.u.S.E. boot logo
by satan3＠home.com 30 Aug '98

30 Aug '98

I have made a dirty little hack to the linux_logo program so that it displays a S.u.S.E. chameleon instead of the linux penguin. If you aren't familiar with the linux_logo program, it displays an ansi or ascii logo at boot. My chameleon isn't the prettiest, and if anyone wants to improve it you are more than welcome provided you share your work with the rest of us. I don't want to piss anyone off by posting the tar.gz of the source, so if you want it, send me a private email and I will send it to you. -- .###. /#######\## -==============================================- ;##### ;# Mike's WindowMaker ;##### ;# <A HREF="http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html"><A HREF="http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html</A">http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html</A</A>> \# /## -==============================================- ###'---'#### - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Let me just say that depending if you have memory intensive calculations (we do a lot of FFT's in place) and actually use the memory, accessing uncached memory is a BIG hit. If it doesn't affect you (less the 5%), great!
