Hi all,
I know this is off-topic, but does anyone know of a good distro that
runs well on a Power Mac 7500? What about G3 chip upgrades? I'd like to
find one that is laid out similiar to SuSE if possible. I understand
LinuxPPC is closer to RH. Anyone?
TIA
Tim
P.S.
Lenz, Thorsten, how about SuSE for PPC? 8-O (Not asking much, how hard
can it be to keep distribution versions syncronized across three or more
completely different architechures? I'm thinking megahurts raised to the
megabites power ;-)
I hope I didn't just open something I shouldn't have.

Using the 6.1 Boot disk off the 6.1 CD Disc 1 since the boot disk that I
got was hanging all the time. Went to configure my hard drive (/dev/hdb
since /dev/hda is an LS-120 drive) and it reported that /dev/hdb was
2193 cylinders which was the same amount as my /dev/hdc drive (18gig
drive). Instead I had already filled up the drive with a FAT32 parition
that said it went to 524 cylinders (which now that I think about it, is
probably wrong since it's a 4gig drive). It would let me say /dev/hdb
could go to 2193 cylinders, but then it would report it being 18+gigs,
like my other drive. (4gig is a Seagate slave on IDE0, and 18gig IBM is
a Master on IDE1).
Anyway, I made two primary paritions along with a swap and there's a
500meg DOS partition that already exists on that drive for booting.
Made a /boot at 20megs, swap 120megs, and the rest to cylinder 524
(3+gigs) being another primary partition. Formatted and installed fine
but when I went to boot the parition fsck came up and said the disk was
corrupt and it was finding stuff endlessly, rebooted and would halt on
booting, ran setup again and now /dev/hdb does NOT show up as device.
Ran repair, and tried to mount /dev/hdb and it said no such device!
wtf!?!?!
Is there a bug in reporting cylinders in the 6.1 boot disk? Should I
grab something else? I didn't spend the time last night, but I'm
considering doing the partitions with Partition Magic and going from
there to see if it's any smoother.

There are several commericial products available, which implement an
X-server on Windows. I've tried PC-NCD, eXceed and Excursion. eXceed(
http://www.hummingbird.com/products/nc/exceed/index.html
<http://www.hummingbird.com/products/nc/exceed/index.html> ) is the
favourite of many, personally I like Excursion best. However, Excursion is
only available bundled together with other "mainframe connectivity" products
in the Pathworks32 suite from Compaq (
http://www.openvms.digital.com/pathworks/index.html
<http://www.openvms.digital.com/pathworks/index.html> ). NB! "Pathworks32"
is the Windows product, "Pathworks" is a large (and expensive) file/resource
server package for VMS and Tru64 Unix.

I have, unfortunatly, been appointed "Linux Expert" where I work (beacuse I
have used it instead of just read about it). One of the questions somebody
asked me was if there was a way to use an XFree GUI from the Linux box. Or
to be clearer, something like a dumb terminal running a GUI off the server
but only for Windows (it will still be running on a dumb terminal :) ) I am
not sure why anyone would do this but I tought I would ask anyway.

Hi all,
I have a Yamaha PCI 128 XG. It sounds wonderful. When it's working. I tried
using the demo OSS on the 6.1 CDs, and it set itself up with absolutely no
trouble at all. No hand editing, nothing. I made a stupid mistake, though - I
installed it on 25/09/99, and so I could only play with it for 6 days before
the trial ran out at the end of the month. I had 6 days of sheer bliss.
I now have 2 options: use OSS/Free, use ALSA, or buy something.
I have had a look at www.linux.org.uk/OSS/ which is, as far as I know, the
authoritative site on OSS/Free. It says that Yamaha PCI sound cards are
unsupported because the specs haven't been released. I presume this means that
I'm out of luck on the OSS/Free front, unless anyone knows a more up to date
site.
I had a look at the ALSA project, and found that they don't support the card
either.
That leaves me with the commercial OSS that works and sounds wonderful, but
costs. After all that preamble, here's the question. I know that SuSE 6.x comes
with a license for standard OSS, but standard OSS doesn't cover the PCI XG, it
is supported in a seperate addon module. Which costs more. Does the SuSE 6.2
boxed set contain a licensed copy of OSS *INCLUDING* the separate add-on
modules? If not, will 6.3 have OSS with modules? Or am I doomed to paying
4Front directly?
Well, I certainly took a long time to ask a simple question! Sorry about that
;-)
Thanks in advance
Chris

i followed the same chain of thoughts and installed all the qt2.0 stuff,
since i am trying to install ver.070. . ./configure went fine and now it's
doodling since an hour on "make". but it looks promising, and i would not
be suprised if it worked now...
Thanks for all the creative imput i got from all you guys

Now that Cjumbo is taking pre-orders for SuSE 6.3,
can anyone give me information on what will be different
in 6.3 vs 6.2?
thanks in advance,

No, stupid, you can't :). They are similar in design, yes. As a matter of
fact, you can (from what I've read, mostly crack-head authors, though) place
an Athlon in a Slot 1 board. Architecturally (pin-out wise) they are
totally different. Slot A is actually a 200mhz FSB design, slowed down to
100 and 133mhz, and Slot 1 is a 66mhz design that's been sped up to 100 and
133 mhz. Slot 1 is an Intel design, Slot A is an Alpha design.

The box owner cannot see regular sized type for
resolutions of 800x600 and up.
So, I did a configuration with 640x480, which
the owner can see just fine.
But, the app windows are larger than the destop and
I am unable to access the buttons that matter like
accept, OK, and close.
How do I fix this and still retain the large fonts of
640x480??
