[SuSE Linux] MAC addresses.
by martin_moeller＠technologist.com 08 Feb '99

08 Feb '99

Hi SuSE'ers. Would any of you know of a generic way of querying an Ethernet adapthers MAC Address? It's not something I need terribly, but it's something I'd like to be able to do. Would there be any way of detecting Ethernet cards in the machine without modprobing drivers? Some standard way of finding out 'this is a Ethernet adapter' of some type or other?

[SuSE Linux] leafnode
by copernico＠tin.it 08 Feb '99

08 Feb '99

I'm not able to make leafnode work. What shall I put in the nntp server dialog of Knews (or Netscape Comm.) to make it go? I've tried with the name of my computer (as it is written in /etc/HOSTNAME) or with "loclhost" but the news-clients still refuse to connect to the (local)server. I've followed all the steps in the documentation supplied with leafnode.....and I don't know what to do anymore!! Please take a minute to helo me. Thank you.

[SuSE Linux] Advice on Applixware 4.4.1 and SuSE 5.3
by martijn.van.den.burg＠asml.nl 08 Feb '99

08 Feb '99

Hi, I am thinking of buying Applixware 4.4.1 and running it on my 5.3 installation, but I read on Applix' site that problems with libc5 may occur. Can anybody tell me if 5.3 and 4.4.1 go together? If not I'll wait for koffice 1.0 to come out :) TIA, Martij - 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] Looking for a window manager?
by mperry＠basin.com 08 Feb '99

08 Feb '99

I therefore suggest blackbox which seems to be easily configurable, nice on resources, pleasant to the eye. I think that for someone just starting out the ways of adding menu items, etc; cannot be beat. The latest compiles on SuSE 5.3 without complaint and it has some nice web-based config. information which shows how to write menu entries, change default window behavior, etc. -- Michael E.

[SuSE Linux] Netscape 4.06

Hi. Does anybody know why in the list box of Collabra Netscape Communicator lists twice each newsgroup I subscribed? I'm using leafnode (which I successfully installed thanks to the precious help of the subscribers of this ml) and it works fine indeed, even with Netscape so the problem I'm complaining is not really bothering me, I just wanted to understand.....

[SuSE Linux] Beep when mail is received
by hlarons＠ComCAT.COM 07 Feb '99

07 Feb '99

I receive mail from my ISP's POP3 server via fetchmail->procmail-> various mboxes. When mail is deposited in my spool; i.e.; /var/spool/mail/hlarons, my machine beeps, *but not every time.* I can't find anything in the fetchmail or procmail config files that might cause this. Is the beep from SuSE (5.2) at work? Why isn't the behavior consistent?
