[SuSE Linux] RE: Kernel & NTFS; GLIBC
by c9502007＠hud.ac.uk 20 Jan '99

20 Jan '99

Hi, I have suse 5.2 installed and was wondering if anyone had managed to install glibc. Is there any upgrade path from 5.2 - 6.0 Also does anyone know if suse 6.0 will support partitions formatted NTFS, I know that the 2.1.3x + kernels support it, and all accounts it's stable. Suse's kernel patches only goto 2.0.9. Has anyone had any trouble compiling the 2.0.36 kernel. I did the make config and went through and sorted out want I wanted but then when it came to compiling it gave and error in the first file, something do with the char * and casting (Sorry i can't remember fully). The only thing I can think of is that egcs1.1b is messing things up( i have this compiled and installed).

[SuSE Linux] Newbie Development Question
by adairb＠it.postoffice.co.uk 20 Jan '99

20 Jan '99

I'm a unix developer (mainly working with databases at the moment) but I'm interested in working on the development of various parts of the linux system; specifically audio related work such as MIDI, PCM and audio card drivers. How are "projects" arranged? Does everyone work alone, which would seem a waste of resources, or do they team up via newsgroups etc? I realise this is the wrong list server for this sort of question but I would like some pointers to where and how these things are done.

The truth is that RH 5.2 has lost appeal to me and I rather use RH 5.1 or some derivation of it than the last 5.2. And as you say Standard doesn't mean better, I think it does mean, old, less able, minimun and this is to my taste incompatable with best or high performance.
