[SuSE Linux] My vote
by adcarlso＠visinet.ca 27 Feb '99

27 Feb '99

One vote for a full SuSE 6.0 reinstall. An error in unpacking the 2.0.36 kernel essentially rendered my Linux system useless. Now to reinstall fully instead of the upgrade method. My OS2 that reads HPFS is helping to rescue some key files.

Hi, I just installed Suse6.0 and StarOffice5. Everything went well, until I tried to run it the first time. It says it's expired. What's going on? Do I need to go to StarDivision's web site and get a new number? - 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 archive 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] Problem with internet conection after upgrade
by hsundt＠uswest.net 26 Feb '99

YAST is better than ever. But launching SAX from command line gets you the German version. You have to launch it from YAST menu to get English SAX. Nevertheless, ppp drops upon connect for me to. There is no "LOCK" in /etc/ppp/options, but a whole slurry of comments. Please help.

[SuSE Linux] Sis6326 is broken in suse6.0
by zentara＠mindspring.com 26 Feb '99

26 Feb '99

Hi, Well I told a few people that the sis6326 was working with the svga server. I was wrong!!!!!!! I apologize to those others who are having trouble with the SiS6236 under suse6.0. I got my suse6.0 today and the vga16 driver is broken. Sax, and XF86Setup will lock the machine up so bad, the reset button has to be hit. xf86config will work far enough to setup the X link, but startx won't work with the XF86config file it makes. Luckily, the Sis6326 config file I had made with Suse 5.1 works. I can get startx to run under 6.0 with that old file. This was my first attempt to install, and I must say, I'm not too pleased. - 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 archive 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>>
