[SuSE Linux] KPanel differences from 1.0 -> 1.1
by Anthony.Schlemmer＠gte.net 24 Mar '99

24 Mar '99

Just a small nit regarding the differences with the taskbar and panel between KDE 1.0 and 1.1. In 1.0 it was possible to stretch windows and allow them to cover the panel and taskbar. It looks like they made a change to KDE so now the panel and task bar are always on top. This makes it a pain if a window slips "underneath" the task bar as it's title bar and window controls are not accessible. I have to use the "unclutter windows" options available off of the desktop. Does anyone know if this behavior can be changed? In looking at the KPanel configuration panel I don't see any appropriate options to turn off this "always-on-top" behavior. I see that auto hide is available but I don't care for that behavior on my desktop. It's been quite some time but I think that even Windows allows one to configure whether the task bar is always on top or not.

Re: [SuSE Linux] ZDNN: Dell set to preinstall Linux
by klcroxen＠fas.harvard.edu 24 Mar '99

24 Mar '99

I think the author means exactly what he says, which is that customers who want to have Linux preloaded on these machines must pay an additional fee of $20, whereas customers wanting an NT (or Win9x) preload pay an additional fee of $0. Since Dell doesn't market Optiplex systems without an OS, and since we don't know what M$ charges them per-machine for an OEM license for NTW, its hard to say how much the customer is getting overcharged for Linux. Safe to say not $200; probably more on the order of $30-$50, since the official RedHat distribution with docs would have cost them around $30 on the street anyway. The customer is only really out $200 in the unlikely event that after they get their Linux machine, they decide they really wanted NT all along and go out and spend $200 for a copy of NTW at CompUSA or wherever.

R: [SuSE Linux] AMD processors
by g.rizzo＠usa.net 24 Mar '99

24 Mar '99

May I add that it's fairly simple to overclock, and gives no problem in this state? I have a K6-2 350 taken to 380 (but I managed to reach 400) and it works just fine, with win as well as linux. A very good processor, I add, even if I haven't understand if it goes faster or slower than a PII... some say faster, some slower, I don't know. I use it and that's OK! ;) I was planning to upgrade to celeron 400... but, thinking twice, I decided not... Who need it? And who needs a PIII, either? For everyday applications I guess also a 266 CPU works fine, these days the only things that really need a better CPU are 3D games, and they works much better buying a 3dfx card... so I decided to spare my bucks for something else (SuSE 6.1, maybe? ;).

[SuSE Linux] Compliling Kernel 2.2.0
by h.aiman＠Bradford.ac.uk 24 Mar '99

Hai guy.... Thank for all those who reply to my email. Last night, I manage to compile kernel 2.2.0... I think I have succesfully. But, one thing remain a question. I thought when rebooting after compliling the new kernel, we can see that new kernel version at booting. But my I still see my old version of the kernel. It's that usual? One more problem, my mouse don't want to more anymore when I get into w-windows. I try to fix it using sax but it doesn't work. -- 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>>

Re: [SuSE Linux] Boot Under NT boot loader!
by jbennett＠syr.edu 24 Mar '99

24 Mar '99

From: A.Crowe(a)OPENMAIL1.TSEA-E.sukepabe.simis.com Date: 23 Mar 1999 07:38:30 +0000 I've currently got a number of OSes (admittedly, most of which are M$) booting from the NT boot menu, including SuSE 6. The thing is, you need at least a small FAT16 partition as the active primary partition on the first hard disk. On the assumption that is the case, install your OSes wherever you want them. I have /dev/hda1 Bootable 30Mb partition /dev/hda5 NTFS - NT Workstation 4 /dev/hda6 NTFS - NT Server 4 /dev/hda7 NTFS - NT Server 4 data /dev/hdb1 Ext2 - Linux /dev/hdb2 Swap - Linux /dev/hdc1 FAT32 - Win98 This looks very nice, very maintainable. Under which OS did you partition the drives? Once I've made any DOS partitions with Linux (and it's a long story why I had to) first, NT Workstation (I don't have Server) refuses to install to them, or even repartition them. This is probably a NT problem, but I'd like to know if it's possible to install NT over partitions created in SuSE6.0.
