RE: [SuSE Linux] How to chmod on FAT partition ?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Jean Luc, The FAT-file system does not have any facilities for file permissions other than 'read only' for everyone. I think the way Linux handles the file permissions on a FAT volume is by checking the permissions of the mount point (e.g. /mnt/win) Now, I'm not completely sure, but I think the way to give the FAT volume 777-permission all over (as said, it is not possible to do this on a per file basis), you shound chmod the mount point to 777. >Working under Windows and Linux , i need to modify some files on my FAT >partitions but the mod of it is 755 so only root can write files when >every user can read them, i tried to chmod 777 on that partition but it >doesn't work. >Can somebody tell me why ?

[SuSE Linux] Mail configuration and Star Office
by r.ibbotson＠zen.co.uk 30 Mar '99

30 Mar '99

Hi Can anyone help with the following ? I think I've might just have successfully upgraded to 6.0 with my own domestic linux box. There are just two niggling problems left to sort out..... I've tried to register Star Office over the internet three times. First two times it locked up and refused to budge. This time (after re-installing) it came back with the following error message "could not resolve hostname support.stardiv.de". Has anyone got any clever suggestions about how I get out of this ? The other problem is that I can receive mail from my ISP and Netscape works fine as well :-) (Oh goody) but, when I try to send mail it just goes to root or /root/mail. Which part of which config file do I change to send mail through my ISP ?

[SuSE Linux] installing to multiple hard disks / configuring tape drive
by Henry.Meyerding＠PSS.Boeing.com 30 Mar '99

30 Mar '99

OK, so this is probably going to be a dumb question, but here goes anyway. I have three hard disks. sda1 and sda2 are the swap and active partitions for my current (Caldera) installation. I want to install SuSE 6.0 to: sdb1 swap sdb2 / sdb3 usr sdc1 /home If I select "install from scratch" option from yast, it allows me to very easily partition, format, and select the above config, but it sees both sda2 and sdb2 as root partitions. How do I convince yast that I want it to ignore everything about sda1 and sda2? is this not an install from scratch? What I want is SuSE booting from sdb2 - presenting both my existing Caldera system and SuSE as Lilo options. Don't want to do something by accident that invalidates my current system before I make SuSE fully functional. Also, does anyone have experience installing a Seagate 4/8GB TR4 SCSI Tape Drive? I have this installed in SCSI 03, but I don't know how to reference it from Linux.

[SuSE Linux] maxtor 11.5 G drive and suse 6.0
by sagamp＠viagate.com 30 Mar '99

30 Mar '99

Hi, I currently run suse 5.3 off a 11.5 G drive but boot off lilo on a 2.2G drive running a different version of 5.3 as well. It runs perfectly OK. Now I bought suse 6.0 and want to upgrade the machine. When I try using the install disk it hangs after seeing the 11.5 G drive. Here's what is says : ... .. hdb Maxtor .. .. hdb:hdb: dma_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error} hdb: dma_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatus Error} And here's where it hangs. This used to happen with the 5.3 boot as well but I was able to get through this when I booted from the fullblown kernel from the hard-drive. What is the difference between the one that's on the floppy and the one eventually installed from it on the hard drive. Any help appreciated. -Deep -- 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>>
