[SuSE Linux] Rawrite.exe
by r.ibbotson＠zen.co.uk 03 Jan '99

03 Jan '99

Hello, I've found out from several Linux books that rawrite "will write any size file to a floppy 1.44 Mb disc. This being the case I have downloaded the 2.0.36 kernel and tried to get to to write to a floppy. I get the error message "Bad sector detected: 1" with every floppy disc that I try. Does this mean that rawrite will not copy the 7.09 Mb file to a floppy ? I would download from the internet directly on to my Linux box but it refuses to detect the modem, neither will it detect my Genius LAN card. I think some other hardware is required. Happy New Year.

I have used wvdial for two monthes. Every thing is fine, but I am a little curious. I am connected to a french provider and before loging I receive this message : "Bienvenue sur Club-Internet" but some times the message is : "Welcome to 3Com Total Control HiPer ARC(TM) Networks That Go The Distance (TM)" Does anyone knows what it means ?

Re: [SuSE Linux] Help: Realy Slow Video with a decent card.

Of course this is not true. NVidia keeps a very strong grip on their documentation. I assure you, if you can get NVidia to give SuSE or XFree86 the complete databooks for the Riva128, we'll see a much faster 2D driver shortly thereafter. My next video card won't be NVidia-based. I'll make sure to buy one from a company that gives their documentation freely to Linux developers. - Scott - 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] Will Kernel 2.2 (pre 3) work with SuSE 5.3

Will Kernel 2.2 pre-release #3 work with SuSE 5.3 as 5.3 comes from the box, or will I have to update and/or modify some stuff first? If it's the latter, what is required? ------------------------------------------ Man's mind is his basic tool of survival!

[SuSE Linux] Printer
by dmale＠one.net.au 02 Jan '99

02 Jan '99

I have a Canon 7000 bubble-jet printer and am trying to set it up. It prints great with apsfilter set using the bjc800 filter, unfortunately the print size is about a5 rather than a4, the setting I want. I have the new ghostscript and viewer and printing a gs example (the tiger comes out at 120 * 170mm) or using Applix words to print a page known to be the correct size and with 12 point font still results in this error of the actual area used of about 120 * 170mm. Can some one suggest where I might look to increase the finished print size. I had installed a filter at the a3 size but this made no difference.

Many, man thanks to Michael & Ralph for your comprehensive replies. I feel especially dim at not thinking about the lilo options! By putting everything on the new disk I can easily keep my config files etc. and copy them across. All I have to do now is work out the symbolic links!
