[SuSE Linux] configurng remote printers
by mperry＠basin.com 23 Mar '99

23 Mar '99

Just a question... We have a HP Laserjet printer that I have been able to print to at an Ip address but now I cannot seem to get there. I do not have a local printer whatsoever and use the HP for 1000f my printing needs. I have gone into the remote printer setup in yast and told it where the printer is by IP and name. Yast dutifully creates a printcap for it but still I cannot print. The HP is a Postscript printer so what else do I need to do to get this thing working again? I can ping the printer out there. This is a linux network, BTW. Do I have to setup a local printer also at lp? How does the print job work when queueing to a remote printer and how do I define that it is a postscript entity? I can only see one place and that is in configuring a printer that is local in yast. The remote printer object only asks for the name, IP, spool and port. Thanks. -- Michael E.

[SuSE Linux] 30 or 72 pins???
by hatridge＠straubing.baynet.de 23 Mar '99

23 Mar '99

Hi All; I was about to order 4Mb Ram chips yesterday when the order taker asked me which I wanted 30 or 72 pin chips..... Well, I don't know. Can anyone tell me how to tell which I need? I have a "OPTI-486WB" motherboard that was made in 1992. It has 8 slots with 1MB chips in each now. Looking in the manual, one place it refers to the chips as "4MB SIM DRAM", another says "4M x 9 OF SIM" and yet another says "4M x 9,4 pcs". No where does it say anything about pins. TIA!

Re: [SuSE Linux] AMD processors
by chessie＠megsinet.net 23 Mar '99

I can only comment on K6-2's, they are the only ones i have used, 3 to date, all have been fantastic. I think that in general, a cpu by itself is meaningless. you must consider thecache/ mb and ram as well. the amd's are socket 7 boards, which i think are very mature. couple a k6-2 with a 100Mhz board, 64Mb of PC100 ram and 512kb of cache, you will spend less than an intel board and be happy. buy from a known reputable dealer. stick with a good board. (my personal favorites are asus and soyo) wathch the specs, soem boards clock down for certain chips, a 400 @ board speed of 66hz does not outperform a 300 @ 100Mhz. in my past i have used 8088's to alphas to p5/p6/p7 and amd's the amd's have been the best bang for the buck. i use dell p2's at work with nt4.0 & rh5.2 they are ok. at home however, i dropped $300 for the above and am running SuSE6.0 KDE is a memory hog, which is no surprise better off with more than 64Mb. Solaris x86 w/CDE is abotu the same. i am happy and satisfied. -- 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] Is it a winmodem after all?
by dominic_mcdonald_aveyard＠yahoo.com 23 Mar '99

Hi everyone, Thanks for all the help so far, I spoke to someone else and they suggested that if there were lots of modem drivers installed under windows the beastie may be nought but a hapless winmodem after all... Under windiows sytem control panel, I clicked on the modem and then on Drivers and it gave me a list: UNDER \WINDOWS: PTCOM.VXD VVOICE.VXD VMODEM.VXD VMM32.VXD UNDER: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ VMODEM.VXD PTCTRL.CPL PTVCD.VXD PTSERIAL.VXD Do you think from this its a winmodem?

Re: [SuSE Linux] AMD processors

>The reason for my inquiry is because in the mags Intel always fares much better >in the bench tests, while AMD users tell a somewhat different story. Now why is >that? Intel has always had a better floating-point unit (FPU) built into their processors which translates into better performance for FPU-intensive applications (games and graphics). AMD has traditionally had the weaker FPU in comparison and usually lags behind Intel. This doesn't mean that AMD makes bad processors, they are very reliable work horses and significantly price less than Intel processors. If your major applications are very FPU-intensive, getting an Intel processor will make sense for now. Things will get more interesting when AMD K7 comes out since reported benchmarks suggest that the K7 FPU will finally kick Intel FPU where it hurts the most and Intel will have to do some catching up.

[SuSE Linux] SuSe book-- more info
by zentara＠mindspring.com 23 Mar '99

23 Mar '99

Hi, Well the lady from Que publishing got back to me about the book. I'm going to an organic farm to work for the summer, and I may not be able to devote as much time as this may require. I do want to help, even if I write a couple of pages. I have kept the emails of everyone who said they would like to help, to forward to her. She requires you sign a non-disclosure agreement, a resume, a sample of your writing, and salary requirements. Anyone who wants to try, let me know. This is the first few lines of her latest email to me: ################################################### Hi Joe, Thanks for getting back with me so quickly. Let me first tell you a little more about this book... tentatively titled Special Edition Using SuSE Linux, this book will likely be 1,000+ pages. I would like for it to be written in a three-month period, which, if writing began in early April, would enable us to publish the book in October. This likely means having several people write, if not collaborate, on the book. Que's Special Edition Using series is one of the most popular series in computer book publishing; while we do require an aggressive schedule in order to make our books competitive, most authors will agree that the rewards are worth it, both intrinsically and financially. I've attached guidelines for this series for your review. ####################################################### I think the experts at Suse should be involved in this. Hubert, Bodo, Stephan ??? what do you guys think? I really only know how to run Suse as a workstation, a book like this needs server experts. -- 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>>
