[SLE] Was `Enlightenment[' - Now `Where to Find those RPM's'
by moriarty＠americamail.com 16 Jan '00

16 Jan '00

Hi all... A good place I have found to grab those `obscure' RPM's is over at http://www.rpmfind.net - Have a look - you may find way more than is necessary, and keep your connection to the Net up longer than you normally would've... ;) The software used to run the site is also included in many Linux distributions, including SuSE's... Also, for those of you on the other side of the planet, there is a mirror available in France for speedier access... The address is on the main site whose URL I placed above...

[SLE] Alsa Sound
by jbauer＠seas.smu.edu 16 Jan '00

16 Jan '00

Hello, Since installing 6.3, I've used OSS for my sound. The evaluation period is to 20mins a pop, so I decided I should learn how to installed the sound using kernel and Alsa. I've run into a few problems, and would greatly appreciate it if anyone has much experiance in installing Alsa with a Sound Blaster PCI128. I've read the howto's, and surfed the web hoping to find detailed information. I'm not sure how my kernel needs to be set exactly, or conf.modules. I need help. Usually I can get something out of the howto's atleast, but form some reason, I can't understand what I need to do. Maybe if I just understood the whole idea behind modules and how to do the module configuration through a file. I don't know. thanks, Justin -- 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] ipchains + pppd
by icarus＠guldennet.nl 15 Jan '00

15 Jan '00

Hi, I have a SuSE 6.3 box running as a firewall at school. It has an ISDN dialup, and I protect it using ipchains. I've made a script that loads the rules, and everything works fine.... Until the IP number changes. When the box dials in again, it gets a different IP number. The ipchains-rules however, remain on the other, obsolete address. How can I fix this? Now I have to make a choice. Either I resubmit the rules on the new IP, or I skip the firewalling stuff, thus letting others in... Can anyone help me with this? Is there a script I can run *before* the dialing?

It's an internal modem at COM4:/ttyS3. IRQ is 3 and port is 2e8 - just as I would expect (according to the PPP/modem-related stuff I've managed to read in the meantime). When I've had it working before in Linux, I've not had to mess with motherboards or isapnp. BTW, I noticed in /var/log/messages the following, which might be useful: pppd 2.3.5: started by root tcgetattr: Input/Output error(5) Exit.
