Got it! I have to archives that I can file attach to anyone using Roadrunner with Time Warner cable....should work for anyone, and directions. Since SuSE 6.0 is G++, I couldn't compile one of the apps., however, someone running a diff. flavor of Linux was able to do it for me.

[SuSE Linux] printing and 2.2.2 Problem Solved :),fetchmail solution
by mlmayo＠texas.net 06 Mar '99

06 Mar '99

Hello all, Thanks so much for the insight. I recompilled with the print stuff as modules and then played with the port assignments. It turns out that 2.2.2 sees the (previous kernels) /dev/lp1 as /dev/lp0, just a reassignment of ports, problem solved. I had a problem with fetchmail also. I don't use imap, only pop3 so the way I have networking set up in the kernel conflicts with the out of the box config of fetchmail when it does its check of protocalls. Solution; wrote .fetchmailrc in /home/username something like this... poll pop.ispname.whatever proto pop3 user username pass password fetchall Just sub in your isp, username and password,then issue fetchmail at the command line and all is well. The imap protocall is bypassed. I just wanted to post this in an effort to contribute back to the group. Hope it helps someone. Thanks again, Mike BTW the performance boost and the learning/insite experience is well worth the minor difficulties a kernel newbie like myself may experience. I've been using Linux for a few years due to it's stability and for me, stability alone was enough to stick with it. After doing this kernel upgrade and 'seeing' some of the nuts and bolts of the os I am convinced that it is the only way to fly. As for SuSE, I have tried just about every distro and IMHO you guys are tops as far as integrating everything into a tight package and holding back until you've got it right(glibc and such). My two cents ;-). - 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] xterm with big font
by pf＠telepolis.com 06 Mar '99

06 Mar '99

Hi. I'd like to open "xterm" using as default font a larger than normal one. I can achieve this result selecting "large" on the "VT Fonts" menu (pressing Ctrl + third mouse button over the xterm window), but I haven't found the way to invoke this from the command line. I've tried the -fn flag, but the only font type it recognizes is "fixed", which is the default (small) font.

Re: [SuSE Linux] scsi cdrom problem

Lenz, I booted up from the CDROM and it seems like SuSE automatically loaded the aic7xxx driver. When I got to the linuxrc screen, I tried to load SCSI module but there's a warning saying SCSI module already loaded so I guess it's there. Sometimes, during bootup, it will display the following error : Kernel panic:aic7xxx:AWAITING_MSG for a SCB that does not have a waiting message. In swapper task - not syncing What could be the problem here? thanks. >> The hardware : MSI 6120 Dual PII mainboard with adaptec AIC 7895 UW SCSI >> adapter.

[SuSE Linux] printing and 2.2.2

Hello, First I would like to thank everyone for the pointers on the kernel upgrade. I have 2.2.2 compiled and running and was able to get ppp up the first time out. I'm having printing problems now. I have parallel printer support compiled in ( CONFIG_PRINTER ) but when I issue lpr nothing happens. Am I missing something ?

Check this against your souncard settings, there may be a conflict. So check your system bios for the irq setting for your parallel port, check your soundcard irq, check yast to see if you are on /dev/lp0 or /dev/lp1, and open conf.modules to check irq and port for the printer module, if you went modular. - 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>>
