[SuSE Linux] VFat with 2.1.0
by chandlerrick＠hotmail.com 04 Jan '99

04 Jan '99

I just upgraded my kernel from 2.0.34 to 2.1.0 and everything seemed to work just fine, except now I can't get to my fat32 patition. Does anyone know if this kernel supports this? 34 worked fine. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at <A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com"><A HREF="http://www.hotmail.com</A">http://www.hotmail.com</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 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>>

[SuSE Linux] I want to build an rpm
by myfish＠dial.pipex.com 04 Jan '99

04 Jan '99

Well,before you guys go rushing off telling me to read the docs... (1)been there. (2)done that (3)try it ?? I need an easy to understand approach to building rpms. i often need to upgrade packages,and these are not catered for by SuSE. For instance windowmaker,i used to do this by hand,but now i can use a ready made rpm,thanks to someone who bothered. i need the new perl,and even though in its the beta6.0 dist,it won`t work. i guess it wants glibc2 ??. we should do this often,as we have an incoming on ftp.suse.com,that no-one uses. please help if you can. -- Myfish.

I am using a Diamond Supra 56i internal modem flashed to v90. Here is what I have seen. If I set the connection to 57.6, I often only get 9600. I open the log window and observe the connect speed. Sometimes I have my ISP tech support telnet to the ascend routers and get my connect speed. If I set kppp to 115.2 or whatever, I connect quite a bit faster and if I find a dialing string that works I get even better. For me, the ole standby AT&F1M0 to quiet my noisy supra works quite well. I have the best luck with xisp since it seems more robust than kppp to me. The easiest setup for me was with wvdial. Have you tried dialing strings? I know that kppp defaults to ATZ. I would try setting the port speed to 115.2 and see if that helps. As far as the ppp dying, this happens enough with kppp to get me to xisp on a regular basis. The most solid connects I get are with xisp that I rolled myself. Michael E.

[SuSE Linux] WP8 Questions
by hatridge＠straubing.baynet.de 03 Jan '99

03 Jan '99

Hi All, I've got WP8 d/l'ed and up and running. BUTTTTT, I've two big questions. #1 When I open a file WP gives me the "Convert File" window. Which file type is for "PDF" files? It's not very clear. #2 How do you turn off the auto spell checker and grammer checker? On my little 486/33 waiting for WP to underline in red and blue all this stuff really slows me down. Also I've a txt file in middle English that almost give WP a breakdown, whole pages blued or red. :) Overall I've got to give WP8 an "A". It's great to have it on Linux. I've been using WP now for over 12 years and it's still the best. In fact my wife will not upgrade. She demands that I keep WP 4.2 on the computer. One last thing, does anyone know where to send an email to give Coral suggestions? I've find things that I would like to have on it etc. TIA!

Checking the NET with "PING" the time for a packet of 64 bytes is 0.5 ms from any terminal . which implicates a net velocity of 600 Kb/s Question? Is there , a protocol , for example IPX/SPX of NOVELL NET faster than others ???? How can I improve the perfomance of my NET with linux and samba , or must I install other SERVER software with other protocoll ???
