I guess the compiler is junk. Just yesterday I began "Beggining Linux Programming". "Hello World" worked first time. It sure is nice to be able to use a compiler that works. Trying out scripts right in bash is a real plus too.

I'll try that now. There's an awful lot of things that can't be done in Windows that can be done "here".

[SLE] Kmail address book
by tajc＠goes.com 28 Nov '99

28 Nov '99

Am I the only one who has a problem using the above? It seems the only way I can get addresses from the address book to the To: line is to copy and paste. First I have to open the darn thing, select the desired address which then appears at the bottom of the window, then highlight it and ^C, hit "OK" to close the address book and finally paste it into the composer. Whew! If I could remember the addresses I would just type 'em in. I would think that selecting an address and then "OK" should automatically place it in the right place. Occasionally I forget to change the address when replying to someone from this list, maybe this is one reason why.

[SLE] FTPD
by weberdr＠bellsouth.net 28 Nov '99

28 Nov '99

Ok I just re-installed 6.2, for personal reasons. . .no real need. I used one of the preset configurations and it worked beautifully and was up and running in about an hour. Under 6.1 I used wuftpd and was very happy with it. This config however, installed proftpd by default. My question is which is better? I saw the posts some time ago about some security problems with proftpd. Have they been fixed? Is it worth it to remove it and set up wuftpd? Just curious as I screwed up my partitioning and have to redo everything anyway. . .thought I would ask first so I could choose the right one on the install. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.

[SLE] File size
by tajc＠goes.com 28 Nov '99

Is there a way to globally have file sizes read out in kb and mb? I use KFM but it would be real nice in rxvt as well. I have a hard time relating to bytes. I'd much prefer to get paid in dollars, not pennies. Know what I mean? :-) Suse 6.2, KDE 1.1.2, kernel 2.2.10.

Why aren't sizes given (system wide) in kb and mb by default? Like in Windows. It would be great not to have to issue this everytime. Is this a kernel issue?

But I think the creator (owner) of any file or sub directory subsequently placed in there has to give group rwx permissions for each as the case may be.

[SLE] floppy driver problems
by bent＠clark.net 28 Nov '99

28 Nov '99

I have on several occasions had problems where I try and mount a known good floppy on my Suse 6.2 system and it just go crazy hammering the disk. After it gives up trying to read the disk, the noise stops and it turns out that /var/log/messages have all sorts of messages about bad sectors. Funny, none of my other systems don't have problems with floppies. How do I turn off that obnoxious messaging in the floppy driver. It's bad enough I have to wait for the floppy to not get read, but to be hammering the disk is really awful.
