This isn't really a relevant question, but I thought everyone here might know - Is SuSE on vacation or something? I placed an order 2 weeks ago, nothing yet. I've e-mailed, nothing. I just called - nothing but an answering machine. anyone know what's up? - 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>>

Netscape doesn't seem to do this, but in other respects is the only usable mail client I've come across for Linux - which isn't saying much, and is quite a shock. Vast numbers of mail clients, pretty much all of them either an apalling user experience (eg: PINE), completely incomprehensible (eg: Applix, StarOffice) or just plain incapable (eg: KMail). Netscape is hardly ideal (not being able to handle more than one POP3 source is a disaster), but it's the best of a bad bunch. I'm on a large number of high-volume mailing lists and I'm used to Messenger Pro on RISC OS which does this sort of thing perfectly and is one of the two reasons why I still use my Acorn when I'm in its presence (the other being Zap). </rant> -- Rachel Greenham Epinet Communications plc - 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] WIN '98 Keyboard
by hatridge＠straubing.baynet.de 01 Mar '99

01 Mar '99

Hi All; I, at last, broke down and got myself a new keyboard. My old one was 6 years in use. The new one is quite nice, but I have 5 dead keys. The Win '95 key and FOUR win '98 keys. My question is how do I find out what command each key sends and how (if possible) to remap them to something usefull? For example I'd like to add the Brit # sign and the Yen. Is it possible to have one key give two letters, for example "DM" for German Marks? Lastly the new keyboard has the Euro sign on it. But when I use it all I get is a normal small e. Has anyone worked on this yet? TIA J I M ----------------------------------------- Jim Hatridge Germany hatridge(a)straubing.baynet.de Proud Linux User #88484 !!!!!!!!!!

Re: [SuSE Linux] Ensonique PCI Audio cards & 2.2.1.

Figure *that* one out. Yes, I have precisely the same problem. Are you also using the es1370 driver? I haven't checked out the OSS or ALSA drivers with the new kernel yet (the latter seem to be highly recommended). They might offer a possible workaround. Just a hunch, but the feedback, to me, seems to be related with the high volume setting necessary to hear any sound output on the card. By cranking the volume to "eleven" (so to speak), the always-present noise produced by mouse movement may be made audible. There's a lot of stray low-frequency noise in computer cases these days, what with the amount of cards connected to expansion slots. Again, this is just a hunch. -- Glenn -- - 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] Internal modems

My internals modems work fine. I have 2x USR Courier 56k's in the machine. and both work perfect. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: [SuSE Linux] Internal modems Author: "Yatsen Ng" [SMTP:yatsen-ng@cistron.nl] at BCEEXCH Date: 3/1/99 1:46 PM O.k., I found out that my modem won't work under Linux. Same goes for my soundcard. I was warned about this in the book "Mastering LINUX". The writer, Arman Danesh, says '...you are best off without a Plug-and-Play modem, and should really consider spending the small amount of extra money required to get an external modem'. Too bad I took notice of Linux after I got my new rig. My question is; is there an internal modem that will work under Linux or will I have to get an external one? If I do need to get an external modem, is an E-Tech a good choice? Any suggestions?

Zentara, I tried to follow your remarks about these different modules to load. found out: 1. soundon/soundoff won't work 2. a "modprobe sound" would load all modules. I had missed to run isapnp (because I thought I wouldn't need it, s.o. hinted that earlier, but I forgot about that halfway), Zentaras remark and quoted files rang that bell. Ran all this, logged into X and heared the famous last words that ironicly were as false as the "original" speaker HAL9000. Had a quick think about, all files OK, well "reboot" time, to see everything work from bootup. Next thing: KERNEL PANIC!. suspicion. Did I do my work accidently with the working 2.0.26, all for peanuts? a few reboot attemts with 2.0.36 KERNEL PANIC, including the Messages saing that there's a problem with the hard drive. After that, JUERGEN PANIC. Emergency system ..... well *all* my (and this is serious) partitions that had been mounted looked like a duck that had been hunted with an anti tank grenade. thousends of errors, duplicate blocks, everything you might think of. I have to add, that I changed some setup options (once in there to look for the printer port... I could not resist changeing some), in this case probably something concerning HD access and DMA. The disc was not broken (wish it was!), since I could reformat it. So it'll be a brand new 6.0 install that. Luckyly, I still had my ols 5.3 on the other disc. I hope all this was caused by my foolishness and not by a severe bug in kernel 2.2.2. Just for the sake of others.

[SuSE Linux] Comipling & booting 2.2.1 kernel

What I need to compile and run kernel 2.2.1? SuSE 6.0? At the moment I've a SuSE 5.3 with kernel (SuSE too) 2.0.36. gcc is 2.7.2.1, lilo is 1.6a The problem I have is booting new kernel: it hangs after the message: << uncompressing linux ..........ok now booting the kernel >> The last time I compiled 2.2.1, it was configured 'very light', nothing other basic things: no sound, no SCSI, no network card, no strange fs (ntfs, vfat ...), CPU=386 (instead of my PII) etc. Do someone knows anything?
