[SuSE Linux] Macintosh PPC

I'm putting up a box at one of my ISP's locations, its a PPC7200, what I'm wondering is, has anyone installed SuSE on a PPC or do I have to use one of the PPC distros like turbolinux, or yellowdog or whatever? I would rather use something I'm familiar with then learn another distro. -- Ec|ipse on EFnet - tomas(a)primenet.com - <A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas"><A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas</A">http://www.primenet.com/~tomas</A</A>> Ec|ipse@|Watcher| - botnet webpage down until further notice Slackware Linux v3.6 - Kernels 2.0.35/2.1.131 - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Has anyone had any success with installing recent GNOME releases (0.99x) onto SuSE 5.3? I'm still pretty new to Linux, and the docs I read make no sense.

Yes, all media appears to have "decided" Red Hat "is" the Linux standard. I do not know why. At this laboratory, we are going to migrate from Win9x to Linux. We see as a very important point there's an european approach to Linux such as SUSE. Americans, often, may offer software solutions which are not suitable to Europe. However, I feel SUSE has a bad web site and does not enough marketing. A good company should have a nice, professional web site. Anyway, keep up the good work!

[SuSE Linux] KDE help
by Arturo.Martinez-Nieves＠NSMG.Seagatesoftware.com 16 Jan '99

16 Jan '99

Help! All was up and running when I installed some 1.1pre1 rpms meant for RedHat 5.2 then KDE wouldn't boot up! Tried reinstalling the proper SUSE KDE rpm packages and now it works ONLY if I fist do startx and then from there I choose other windows managers\KDE if I do startkde or kde if comes back with lots of symbols it can't find and doesn't get it at all. I thought of removing the offending packages but... if I do rpm -e package name it comes back saying the package is not installed. However if I run yast, I can see the package installed, but only if I choose install packages, so my only choice there is to reinstall the same package I want to get rid of. If in YAST I choose DELETE PACKAGES, the offending packages are not listed! Any help!

[SuSE Linux] SciTech Display Doctor 1.0 - Help !!
by antonisg＠otenet.gr 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

I am trying to install SciTech Display Doctor (see LJ of Jan 99) because I have a Legend QDI 8Mb video card with the Intel 740 chip and the above driver supports it. I downloaded the tar.gz file and followed the instructions. However, althought the card is supported and detected the server refuses to start. There is an error message ( erno: 111 ) ! Is there anyone who tried this Scitech server in SuSE 5.3 and can help me ? Any ideas are very welcomed. ( The LJ article reviews only for a Red Hat distro.)

[SuSE Linux] follow on to multiple dist booting
by mperry＠basin.com 15 Jan '99

15 Jan '99

So I got slack 3.6 installed (wow, what a lot of work - will take suse any old day :). I followed the sage advice of folks here and have found that as someone suggested you pretty much have to copy the /vmlinuz from /dev/hdb1 to /dev/hda2 with another name or when lilo boots it uses the /vmlinuz from /dev/hda2 which creates some interesting problems with slack 3.6. Its more academic now since I am awaiting delivery of redhat 5.2 at this point and I cannot seem to get slack's obtuse setup program to see the atapi cd I have but yet it will mount it fine at shell. As an interesting point, the cdrom works quite well in suse and other stuff I have tossed at it. I think slack's gui setup tool times out too quick. I watched it mounting and my cd light does not even come on; yet when I manually mount it... ta da. Success. So the 64 buck question is there is no lilo at /dev/hdb2 since I chose to use the lilo at /dev/hda in the mbr. No point in two lilo's as Mr. Johnson points out in his followup post. Now when I decide to compile a kernel at /dev/hdb1 what do I do to get it seen? I have no lilo there to run and the /vmlinuz.slak is copied from /dev/hdb1 to /dev/hda2. If I run the /sbin/lilo on /dev/hda2 it will just see the /vmlinuz.slak I placed there before. This seems rather unusual for one operating system. Comments, other ways of doing things, gratefully accepted. Using the Os/2 boot manager I booted numerous copies of OS/2 warp at different spots with no issues. Surely there is an elegant way of doing this. -- Michael E.
