by thecivvie＠mailandnews.com 11 Jan '00

Hi, Thanks to Stefan Muenkner, a semi serious flaw in vacation-1.2.0 has been fixed. If the To: line had any capitals then vacation would not work. This is fixed with a patch from Stefan. The updated package can be found at http://www.tcob1.uklinux.net in either gzip or bzip2 formats. I will released a SusE rpm as well later today.

[SLE] Can the group name be change?

I finally got my SuSE Samba shown on my win98 network neighbourhood. But! the group name is kind of weird (Arbeitsgruppe?), is there anyway to change to something more decent like SuSE Samba? Thanks and regards.

Hi, Can anyone explain why all my how to's contain an intro message, a heading for table of contents and from there down are blank. I have 6.2 on a Dell laptop. As a newcomer I'm getting loster(!!) without 'em.

Hello Jack, Thank you for your response. > How much main memory (RAM) is in the machine? 512MB RAM and 133MB swap space. > What are the major programs that run on the machine? kfm, squid, sendmail, Roxen webserver with modules. >Allot of processes run > on the machine?

But I don't think that it is under heavy load even with all those applications you've mentioned above. Personally I can't see evidental bottlenecks in this system. My Linux box is PIII 600 dual processor machine with all SCSI devices, SCSI WD U/2 LVD 80MB/sec hard drives with 100MB network cards and ADSL connection to the Internet. So I still don't know what could be wrong with the hard drives.

In 6.3, I'm having a problem running the "kernel" script located in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/susewm/startcmd.

RE: [SLE] Missing lines when printing

Try using a dot-matrix or text-only driver instead of the Stylus 800. The st800 (single-sheet feed only) may be making false assumptions about your feeder. -----Original Message----- From: gfox [SMTP:gfox@telepolis.com] Sent: Monday, January 10, 2000 9:28 PM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: [SLE] Missing lines when printing I am using SuSE 6.2 and printing with an Epson LQ-100 connected to a parallel port. The resolution is set to 180 x180 and I am using the st800 driver (also an ESC/P2 printer). Although the paper size is set to "A4", I am always missing a couple of lines between a page and the next when printing from text or html.

I can not find either in the printing howtos, the printcap man pages or the apsfilter documentation a way for setting the number of lines in the page to a smaller number in order to sort the problem out.

Check the SANE home site for details on supported scanners.

Has anybody had success with BootMagic that handles Windows and Linux ?? I am trying to get this to work but I have not been able to boot the machine using the BootMagic OS Loader. My Linux installation is on one of the logical drives on an extended partition. Should I install LILO on the extended partition or on the logical drive inside the extended partition.? thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
