[SuSE Linux] Linuxmall and 6.0
by stevep＠bash.linux-shell.net 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

Greetings, To those of you who have not ordered your copy of 6.0 yet, here's something you may be interested in. I ordered 6.0 from Linuxmall mid Feb, and 7 days later I had it. Delivered to Houston it was $41. I normally order from cheapbytes but they did not have it then. Just a thought.

[SuSE Linux] Tuning TCP Params
by hlarons＠ComCAT.COM 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

My memory may be failing, but didn't I see one or more posts here about utilities that allow "tuning" of TCP parameters like MTU, Window size, etc? Or maybe it related to tuning the modem serial port. Dunno. (Wasn't 'setserial' though). My problem is that Netscape seems to load some pages very fast, but freezes part way through, requiring a killall. Almost like a buffer overrun or something.

[SuSE Linux] Source code locations
by pvr＠mindspring.com 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

Is there a standard location for untarring program source code? Is it ok to dump it in /usr/src/ along with the kernel source? I have been untarring and compiling from my home directory, but it struck me today that there may be a convention for this.

Re: [SuSE Linux] Internal modems

----- Original Message ----- From: Yatsen Ng <yatsen-ng(a)cistron.nl> |O.k., I found out that my modem won't work under Linux. Same goes for my |soundcard. I was warned about this in the book "Mastering LINUX". The |writer, Arman Danesh, says '...you are best off without a Plug-and-Play |modem, and should really consider spending the small amount of extra |money required to get an external modem'. Too bad I took notice of Linux |after I got my new rig. My question is; is there an internal modem that |will work under Linux or will I have to get an external one? If I do |need to get an external modem, is an E-Tech a good choice? Any |suggestions? Thanks. I'm using a Cardinal Connecta 56K 3440 wirh SuSE 6.0 and it works fine. It's idenetical to the US Robotics Sortster, and while it as a pnp internal modem, you can disable pnp and assign an irq vai jumpers. I got the card to work in less than 5 minutes, and haven't had any problems so far. But beware there's also a winmodem available from botch Cardinal and USR, so make sure you grab the right one, and you shouldn't have any problems. -=codemonke=- - 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] HTML-mail
by cees-list＠griend.xs4all.nl 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

<PRE> I had some reactions on my perl-script to be able to read HTML-mail. So I was motivated to do more work on it and to look deeper into the problem. Here is a new perl-script: htmlmail.pl. First, you don't need my script if you want to use 'lynx'. Second, my script doesn't need 'lynx' anymore and can print in PostScript. Solution 1: Add to ~/.mailcap: --------------------------------------------------------------------- text/html; lynx -dump ; copiousoutput; nametemplate=.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- if you want 'lynx' to reformat the HTML-mail. Solution 2: Add to ~/.mailcap: --------------------------------------------------------------------- text/html; htmlmail.pl; copiousoutput; print=htmlmail.pl -p --------------------------------------------------------------------- if you want my script and want to be able to print the HTML-mail in PostScript. Put this script somewhere in your path, do a 'chmod +x htmlmail.pl' and enjoy it. Cees. -- bIHeghvIpchugh bIHeghpu'. If you are afraid to die, you have already died.

Figure *that* one out. Not sure, but here's something realted which is quite strange. With the es1370 kernel drivers you can play sound and cds in kde, but if you enable system sounds you can still hear the relevant sounds by using the media player - but not with the test button (or by triggering the event) in the sound setup. So I installed the latest OSS drivers which set the mixer correctly and allow sounds to be heard by pressing the test button, it also displays some info in the sound info panel of kde. Which is basicaly the output of a cat /dev/sndstat command. o as root I did a cat /dev/sndstat > sndstat to get the message into my root directory. Then I disabled the oss drivers and recompiled the kernel with its own sound drivers. Then if you do cat /dev/sndstat it reports cat: not supported by device. So I did an mv sndstat /dev/sndstat to overwrite the soundstat file with the one generated by the oss drivers. System sound will then work in kde! But you still have to adjust the mixer everytime you boot :( Dunc. - 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>>

Thanks for the support, guys. I just found out that my modem is a *winmodem*. The phrase 'The PCI56RVP is our top of the line PCI bus Win-modem' on E-Tech's site couldn't have made it any clearer. However, their FAQ sheet gave me hope. It sates the following: Q: Does the PC56RVP modem work with the Linux operating system? A: Yes. Any of our Rockwell-based modems that support non-plug-and-play, including this one, will work with Linux. Now I just need to do a littel bit more research. But that's what Linux is all about, right? - 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>>
