[SLE] Perl language outline amidst docs?
by abrahams＠mbs.valinet.com 31 Jan '00

31 Jan '00

There are lots and lots of Perl-related man pages and other docs. I'm looking for one that gives a brief outline of the language itself. (I've decided it's about time I learned Perl; I've ordered the book, but I want something to work with in the meantime.) Is there such a file, either within the SuSE distribution or somewhere on the Net? I've also looked at the Perl website; it lists lots of books and other resources, but no such language summary.

I see I misread again. What I have to configure is sendmail. There's a bunch of stuff in /usr/doc/packages/sendmail. We'll see if I can make an sense of them. right, sendmail is what fetchmail delivers to On Sun, 30 Jan 2000, Kenneth Kellum wrote: > On Sun, 30 Jan 2000, Timothy Metz wrote: > > On Sun, 30 Jan 2000, you wrote: > > > > This may end up generating more questions in the long run, but..... > > > You may well be right! > > Since this might be of interest to others, I'm copying to the list. yes, sounds reasonable > > use fetchmail to get the messages off the pop server, you can set > it to "no purge" > and track by msg id.

Leave the rest of sendmail alone, this is also somewhat redundant, but I do it just to make sure. endmail can be a beast, do initial configuration in yast (system adminstration section) check the offline mailing how-to at linuxdoc.org for tips Let me know where you currently are and I can give you better advise/direction ;-) I think we are 9 time zones apart, so bear with me....

I asked this once before, but I missed some mail soemehow, and don't know whether it was answered, so I ask again I have a friend staying with me who gets email on my account. I set up an account for him, but I don't know how to mail between users on my machine. I tried using kmail to sent to chris, his username, and chris@localhost. These didn't work.

[SLE] Kmail - Incoming Duplicate Mail (SuSE 6.3)
by gmkelly＠zip.com.au 31 Jan '00

31 Jan '00

Hi All. I regulary get in excess of 200 emails a day. With exmh this wasn't a problem, but with kmail on checking the pop3 server and delivering the first of say 50 messages (Ive got a dial up line), kmail procs another pop3 fetch and starts collecting mail again from message 1 when the original is up to 50. Of course the end result is duplicates of mail (sometimes twice if inbox on server has 210+ mails). Any suggested fixes. Of course deselecting "interval mail checking" at least until the bulk of incoming mail is retrieved is one solution, but its a "pain" to have to "enable/disable" this feature manually each time.

Hi there, This question doesn't have to with Linux, at least not directly, but I'll take my chances anyway. I flashed my (Award) BIOS a while ago and I noticed there's this S.M.A.R.T. capability that can be enabled or disabled. What's this all about?

But I can't fault Sun as both computers I got it to install on were not on the hardware compatibility list, so I only have myself to blame for the spontaneous reboots and core dumps. But the NFS rocks! Maybe Linux will catch up when Sun goes Open Source with Solaris 8. -- George Toft http://www.georgetoft.com -- 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] If I call SuSE, would they support TrueType fonts?
by arish＠uswest.net 31 Jan '00

31 Jan '00

Hi guys; I have SuSE 6.3 and the only thing that I miss is fixing and using any kind of TrueType fonts, and that's the only thing I like in Windoze. I spent at least 100 hours following all(HOWTOs, web search, README, documentation), but something still eludes me, and I gave it up. My question is: although it's toll charge for me, is SuSE gonna help me fix this while they're on the phone with me? I mean is it supported? or if one of you guys who exactly knows how to use TrueType fonts, could give me his ICQ number I can call him. Remember that I dowloaded or coppied all necessary fonts and files.
