[SuSE Linux] Broken symbolic links in 5.3 fresh install.
by orphic＠netcom.ca 05 Mar '99

05 Mar '99

Hello, I am new to the mailing list, so my apologies if this issue has been covered in the past. Less than a week ago I switched from RedHat 5.1 installation to SuSe 5.3 [kernel 2.0.35]. I have fixed the problem which I am about to describe, but I would like to let other newbies know how to fix it if they experience the same thing. I would also like to know if I can expect any other problems along the same lines. I installed all the relevant C development stuff neccesary to compile programs. When I tried to compile a few basic programs, I kept getting errors about 'No such file or directory...' for 'linux/*.h' files which were being refered to by other files. The files were there--well, they were on my hard disk that is, I knew because I could find them. My newbieness kept me puzzling over this for longer than I'd like to admit, but I did eventually figure out that the problem was two broken symbolic links: /usr/include/asm -was linked to-> ../src/linux/include/asm which should've been linked to-> .../src/linux-2.0.35/include/asm & number two /usr/include/linux -was linked to-> ../src/linux/include/linux which should've been linked to-> ../src/linux-2.0.35/include/linux I just checked, & it seems that the scsi link also is broken in the same way... - 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] Fwd: SuSE6.0 and Soundblaster PCI 128

However, this kernel does not support my Soundblaster 128 PCI. Do you have any suggestions how to solve this. (Must be possible since RedHat's 2.0.36 does support this card). Thank you in advance.

[SuSE Linux] FCC and Internet per min. charges.
by fmiller＠lightlink.com 05 Mar '99

05 Mar '99

FCC speaks about recent action. Thank your for your email concerning reports that the FCC will take action requiring Internet service providers (ISPs) to impose per-minute usage charges on consumers. Please let me assure you that these reports are erroneous. The matter before the FCC concerns carrier-to-carrier payments, so-called "reciprocal compensation." Reciprocal compensation has nothing to do with consumer Internet charges. It's about what telephone companies pay one another. In fact, the FCC has exempted ISPs from paying per-minute charges to local phone companies and will continue to do so. The threat of imposing per-minute charges on the Internet is one of the great enduring urban myths. In short, the FCC has no intention of imposing per-minute charges on the Internet. I am attaching a copy of Chairman Kennard's statement on the matter. ANSWERS FROM FCC CHAIRMAN WILLIAM E. KENNARD TO QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE ACTION TAKEN BY THE FCC ON FEBRUARY 25, 1999, CONCERNING RECIPROCAL COMPENSATION FOR DIAL-UP INTERNET TRAFFIC Has the FCC opened the door to Internet charges? A: Absolutely not. The FCC has reconfirmed the Internet's exemption. Consumers will see no new charges on their Internet or phone bills. Q: Are we going to see new long distance charges to connect to the Internet? A. No. Rumors have been spread by some people, but these rumors are false. The FCC will not impose long distance charges for dialing up the Internet. Q: Is there any way that local phone companies will be able to start imposing usage-sensitive access charges to Internet service providers? A. No. The exemption from long distance access charges is solid as a rock and has been upheld in court. Q: The FCC will not allow long distance charges for local calls to the internet. But has the FCC made it easier for states to impose long distance charges for local calls to the Internet? A: No. States have no power to impose long distance charges. Only the FCC can do that, and we declared our jurisdiction over this traffic. Q: What changes can consumers expect to see as the result of this decision-- in the short run, and in the long run? A: Consumers should see no changes in their Internet or phone bills, either in the short run or long run, as a result of this Order. The big picture in the long run is very positive -- our continued "hands off" policy towards the Internet will allow it to continue growing rapidly, unfettered by regulations. Q: How will Internet providers react to this Order? Will this be good for business or bad for business? A: It's good for business and consumers. We have clarified how companies pay each other for this traffic and we have done so in a way that prohibits the assessment of long distance charges. This can only help consumers. Q: Why were so many negative rumors spread around? A: The Internet has become extremely important to a lot of people in the last few years. We get letters every week from people for whom access to the Internet has opened up whole new possibilities for business, social service, and life. The very idea of paying long-distance-type charges for hours web surfing naturally produces great anxiety. Therefore these rumors tend to spring up anytime the FCC does anything related to long distance service. ===================== - 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>>
