[SuSE Linux] cd-r in linux
by roberto＠cbvcp.com 29 Aug '98

29 Aug '98

All, I'd like to get a scsi (but perhaps ide if the funds fall through), cd-r. To write to a cd, do you just copy like it's another hd, or do you need some sort of software. if you need software, is it free, and if not, what is street and list price? thanks -- Aaron Seelye Running S.u.S.E. 5.2 <A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto"><A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</A">http://revolution.3-cities.com/~roberto</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

[SuSE Linux] linux binary support for SCO Unixware
by satan3＠home.com 29 Aug '98

29 Aug '98

Unless you live in a cave you almost assuredly read slashdot daily, so you've already seen this. I think linux binary compatibility makes good sense for SCO Unixware, and makes their product more attractive as a desktop solution. When the new Unixware 7 with linux bin support becomes available I'm good for a student license just to test drive it. Hmmm, first Sun offers Solaris 2.6 for the cost of shipping and the media, now SCO is integrating linux binary compatibility, what's next? It's nice to see the commercial unices start exercising some of the practices that the open source os'es proved to work, I hope the moves prove successful for both Sun and SCO. -- .###. /#######\## -==============================================- ;##### ;# 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

I have no idea about the meaning of user and >the couple of zeros at the end of the record. interesting. I had to add a ,suid after noauto to get it so any user could mount a floppy.

Re: [SuSE Linux] Install SuSE5.3 on a laptop without Floppy Disk

If >you are hardcore, you can even use PLIP over a parrel cable. This is >pretty slow, though. I actually found the PLIP to be a good alternative so I didn't have to take up HD space with the installation files and if I didn't have an ethernet pcmcia card. The laptop only had 800 mb so didn't want to take up space with the installation files also! However, I had access to a floppy to get it booted. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Re: [SuSE Linux] Any ppp setup difference with Red hat?
by karcher＠idworld.net 28 Aug '98

28 Aug '98

990f new Linux users migrate from M$ Windows. If Linux is ever going to make greater inroads in the desktop market, it has to be made easier for the initial install and setup. After its up an running the newbie can learn all the things most of us take for granted with Linux. My setup is the way I like it. Wvdial is a console program that I happen to run in a Kvt window. It can also be run from the console if that is what you want. My point, however, is that it makes it very easy for a newbie to get up and running after the initial installation. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Lankton <satan3(a)home.com> To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: Friday, August 28, 1998 11:50 AM Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] Any ppp setup difference with Red hat? > >Redhat's netconfig and programs like it are not solutions.

[SuSE Linux] Mutt, an off-topic plea for help
by hlarons＠ComCAT.COM 28 Aug '98

28 Aug '98

I know that there are some Mutt MUA folks on this list, so I ask you (in some desperation. since I can't seem to get stuff onto the Mutt list right now). I'm trying to use the following statements in .muttrc 'folder-hook out set index_format="%C 0 %t "' 'folder-hook . reset index_format' to reformat my sent mail folder to show _to whom_ the mail went, rather than from whom (me). When I switch to the "out" folder, I get a quick error message that the % variables are unknown. What am I missing, Mutt people?
