[SLE] Upgrading to 6.3
by sean.rima＠tcob1.uklinux.net 01 Feb '00

01 Feb '00

I am looking to upgrade from 6.0 to 6.3. However, I have a minor problem that was discussed on the list before, my RPM database is shot. This may be a question for the SuSE people but can I upgrade still without losing any of my major changes, ie don't want Sendmail etc and still use my own kernel. Sean. PS. I uploaded a load of rpm's to the ftp site. Made under 6.0 but may work on other versions. -- Linux User: #124682 ICQ: 679813 My Current Uptime is 1d, 7h and 32m on Linux 2.2.14 It said "Needs Windows 95 or better".

[SLE] ReiserFS in 6.4?
by avi＠CFFtechnologies.com 01 Feb '00

01 Feb '00

Would ReiserFS be better integrated with the SuSE 6.4 release? i.e., would I be able to create ReiserFS partitions from YAST when doing a fresh install? Also, if you currently use ReiserFS, what are your opinions on the FS? How well does it work? Is it stable? Any problems, compatibility issues?

BTW If you use Samba you should Veto some file extension that Atalk will place on the Volume for Apple Extensions (hidden files) Annoying little creatures that people love to delete without asking what they are!

Yes, that is for them to have Home, sorry I meant AppleVolumes.System drop the path in after the third comment or so. like /mnt/unv Universe is mine.

Slight problem getting netatalk (appletalk) to work: I started both atalkd and afpd yet I still can't seem to be able to connect to my computer through appletalk using a user account. The guest account, on the other hand, does connect, but nothing shows up as being 'shared', so I can't mount anything. -- Tsvika Solan | "An artist cannot fail; it is a success tsolan(a)pulp-fiction.com | to be one." -Charles Horton Cooley -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] dhcpcd, @home?
by jdenning＠pobox.com 31 Jan '00

31 Jan '00

Greetings -- I'm trying hard to setup my new 6.3 install with my ATT @home cable modem. I have an SMC 8416 (Ultra) NIC. I think I have that setup. At least I get it showing in the last two lines of dmesg. But I can NOT get DHCLIENT to work for me. I run it, it creates a file, dhclient.conf, I edit it, and un comment the correct line or two. But still no dhcp. I've been told by some to use dhcpcd. I can't find that installed. Is it on the install DVD? If not how can I get it? I can download to Windows if it will fit on a floppy. If anyone has an @home connection like I describe, I sure would love talking with you. Or if you have a clue as to what I should do to get this working. Yes I'm new at Linux, but am having a ball.

The US version does not ship with SSH due to export regs. You can download it from various places however. Look for it at www.ssh.org, I think it is also on the ftp.suse.de site also.

[SLE] Where's fonts.scale file in SuSE 6.3?
by arish＠uswest.net 31 Jan '00

31 Jan '00

Hi I installed FreeType, xfntscl and tt fonts, but still can't find a file called fonts.scale which is needed to run TrueType. And guess what? mkfontdir can't make and it doesn't exist anywhere. Any suggessions?

[SLE] Problems with 6.3
by lfent＠esker.com 31 Jan '00

31 Jan '00

I'm running into a couple of strange problems, and since I'm fairly new to Linux, I thought I'd beg for some help. I have installed 6.3 4 times at home, and each time I get different error messages (or system strangeness) during startup. Everything seems to work in a general way, but I've got some specific problems. The most common (and the current) problem is that during the bootup, I get a message saying something along the lines of insmod serial.o can't find char major-4, or at least that is in the warn file. I can't figure out what's causing this to happen, nothing appears in the modules.conf, and I had to make a like between /lib/modules/2.2.10 and /lib/modules/2.2.13 for thing to get this far. I haven't heard of anyone having problems like this, and frankly, the same CD's worked wonderfully on my laptop, which just screams along without a hitch (well, as screaming as a 133 can, but anyway). Frankly, I'd suspiscion that I'm not setting something up correctly, but for the life of me I can't guess what it is... Any Guesses, or information that would help formulate a guess? Thanks in advance...
