RE: [SuSE Linux] Adaptec 7890
by anthony_Melia＠Dell.com 04 Feb '99

04 Feb '99

Dell have not 'cut' any deals. As far as I can see, redhat got quite involved in making sure drivers were available that meant their customers could use a redhat bootdisk and install without a problem on Dell systems. Being a major Suse fan myself, I tried creating a Suse bootdisk that would allow easy installations on the 2300. When I sent a mail to Suse asking for a little help with a problem I came across, I was told not to email them. As Dell have no official 'agreement' with Suse, and I am doing this out of my own interest, I had to abandon it. Suse are digging their own grave by not being more 'helpful' to PC manufacturers. As Dell are one of the biggest Server manufacturers in the world, I would have thought Suse would be eager to adapt their bootdisk to support the 7890 & 7860/70. A few hours work by Suse in adapting would make installations easier for hundreds of thousands of people who have these 2300's. The above opinions/views are my own, and are not necessarily the views of my employers.

[SuSE Linux] Floppy disk and FSTAB

Hi, Add a line something like /dev/fd0 /floppy ext2 defaults 0 0 I tend to have two lines in my /etc/fstab - one for FAT FDs and one for ext2 FDs. I dunno if it's absolutely necessary, but it works for me. The line for FAT disks looks something like /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat defaults 0 0 Alan. - 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] How to use Linux as a transparent router
by br＠mycity.at 04 Feb '99

04 Feb '99

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>Does anyone know, how to use Linux as a transparent router or proxy? I´ve no problems with the routing-table or something like this (The right Kernel is also compiled and installed). The problem is, when I use the Linux system as a gateway in a small LAN, everything works (http, gopher, ftp,..) but news,SMTP and POP3. The PCs behind the gateway (my LAN), aren´t able to find the ISP mail server or news server.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2>So I hope that anyone of yours knows the problem and how to solve it. Maybe (and I believe so) this is a generally problem and I might have only to kill sendmail or somethong like that (I stopped sendmail but it still does not work)</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000 face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I hope some of knows the answer, which shall be posted to <A href="mailto:br@mycity.at">br(a)mycity.at</A></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>regards</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>

[SuSE Linux] Minicom
by gregt＠nadel.com 04 Feb '99

04 Feb '99

Hello, I just installed 5.3 last night. 1st, as an aside, I couldn't get my ATI Mach64 configured until I resorted to using xf86config. Anyway, my problem now is with the minicom that comes with 5.3, I believe it's v1.81 (it's at home, and I'm at work at the moment). No matter what I do I can't get the line to disconnect, the only way I can get the call to hang-up is to physically disconnect the line. I'm just using the default config for minicom. I had the same problem with RH 5.x but somewhere along the line it started working properly under RH. Any suggestions?
