He needs 30 pin SIMMs. In 1992, the best you could get would have been a hybrid, 4 72 pin and 4 30 pin SIMMs. He says they're all 1 meg, but he didn't say there were two different sizes, so they'd all be the same, and given the vintage of the board, they should all be 30 pin. -----Original Message----- From: zentara <zentara(a)mindspring.com> To: James (Jim) Hatridge <hatridge(a)straubing.baynet.de> Cc: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: Sunday, March 21, 1999 8:19 PM Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] 30 or 72 pins??? > >"James (Jim) Hatridge" wrote: >> >> 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.

[SuSE Linux] Kernel on SuSE Web
by gdoris＠home.com 22 Mar '99

22 Mar '99

I noticed that SuSE have posted a 2.2.3 kernel tarball on their website. As there don't seem to be any instructions perhaps someone can help me out... 1. is this kernel any different from the "standard" 2.2.3 kernel? In other words, does SuSE modify the kernel for use on their OS? 2. the SuSE 6.0 box says that it is 2.2 ready but shipped with 2.0.36. Is this really true or are there other packages that still need to be upgraded to run the 2.2.3 kernel? If so, is there a list somewhere? 3. Redhat has posted an upgrade HowTo (with dire warnings about upgrading). Is there some similar howto or instructions available for SuSE?

[SuSE Linux] tabs in xemacs
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 21 Mar '99

21 Mar '99

Hi folks, I'm writing some perl script using xemacs. I really like this editor. There are a few features that drive me nuts though. One of these is the fact that under at least some circumstances it won't allow me to use the tab key. I am using what I believe to be the default settings for editing perl. Does anybody know how to get the tab key to do its thing in xemacs?

[SuSE Linux] Sound Card
by hatridge＠straubing.baynet.de 21 Mar '99

21 Mar '99

HI All; I plan on getting a sound card just to play with. I don't want to put any real money into it. Sooooo, looking at the prices I find one listed as "SB16 compatible PNP" for 25 DM (ca 15$). ORRRR next in price are "Creative SB 16 ISA", "Creative SB 64 PCI", "TerraTec 128i", or "Diamond Sonicimpact S90" all at 49 DM each (ca 30$). I don't want to spend anymore than that on a card. Not knowing a durn thing about them, will one of them work with Linux? Also if I get the more costly card which should I get? My system is a 486/33 all EIDE (no SCSI at all) it was built in 1992.

[SuSE Linux] Mouse cursor stuck to top of desktop screen...
by creimer＠rahul.net 21 Mar '99

21 Mar '99

Greetings! After finishing the default install of SUSE 5.3, installing the latest Xserver (3.3.3.1?), configuring with Sax and starting up the default desktop (FVWM2?), the mouse cursor will get stuck at the top of the screen. I'm using a PS/2 Logitech wheel mouse. The current error message I'm getting right now is that the Xserver has lost contact with /dev/mouse. Do I need to create symlink to point /dev/mouse/ to /dev/ps2aux? Or do I need a special X-driver for my mouse? Thanks!

Ok, when trying to unzip a tar.gz file I had downloaded I got the message: "Multipart or something not supported get a newer version." Shouldn't the gzip on the SuSE 6.0 distro be farily new?
