Hi Ron, >>> ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/XFR_SVGA /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_Banshee, this was no >>> problem. >> Do you mean, `ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA /usr/X11R6/bin/XFCom_Banshee'? >are you pointing out the "f" in the ln-sf ? if so then what is the sax-s command all about? Jon was pointing out that you typed XFR_SVGA, it should be XF86_SVGA (perhaps this was just a typo). As to the -sf switch the s means to make a symbolic link and f is to force it. >I also dont understand if Im supposed to run a cammand called "sax-s" or "sax -s XFCom_Banshee" The latter (no quotes) it forces sax to use the XFCom_Banshee server rather than the VGA16 server. I don't know what kind of resolutions you should get as currently I am running an ATI with the mach64 server, sorry.

[SLE] Adding fat to Kfstab
by imm＠KidsCare.Net 30 Nov '99

30 Nov '99

I thought it would be easy. Famous last words. All I want to do is add hda1 hda2 hda3 to fstab. They are fat partitions. I was logged in as root. I did add support to the kernel for these partition types. I started Kfstab chose add new then hda1 etc and then chose type fat or vfat. Then when it asked mount name I just did win1 etc. This does not seem to work when I go to /mnt nothing is there. I even saw someone do this over the weekend on another machine but theirs worked. What did I miss? Any info apprciated.

Hi guys, I'm setting up a SuSE Linux 6.2 based network (for those of you who missed my other message ;-). I have a printer attached to one machine and I want the other machines on the network to be able to use that printer. What do I need to do? (besides read the manual ;-). I did, but I wasn't able to figure it out!
