They appeared after I installed KDE2 downloaded from the SuSE ftp site. Why they should even appear, seeing that I never selected KDE while in YaST, is a mystery. What is a good way to get rid of them??? JLK -- Scientific theories, according to Sir Karl Popper, can be "falsified," or proven wrong, by experiment. Unscientific theories -Marxist dialectical history and Freudian psychology were Popper's favorites-are formed in such a way that they cannot be falsified by data.

One is on NBCi http://members.nbci.com/bbcat_rpm/index.html and the other on geocities http://www.geocities.com/seinsiboire/index.html NBCi has some problems sometime. For some weird reason they may deny access on the first and second try. Reloading will correct this. I'm not sure why it acts this way. As for geocities, I ran out of space and went to NBCi which gives more space. It took a while to upload big files on NBCi. I had to upload to my ISP and then telnet and use the ISP BSDi ncftp to upload to NBCi because the upload doesn't support retry and the ftp connection kept dying. I had also tried on angelcities but gave up after hours of frustration with that garbage site. You can't download large files on that site with ftp and must use their loading program which changes the names of the files. Any renaming of files to a valid name is denied as not being a valid filename. It appears to be a winblows only web site.

Fw: [SLE] Lazy question: how to make partition image?

Hi Take a look at Nero (www.nero.com I think). It is a very good CD-authoring package, and I'm pretty sure that it allows you to do exactly what you want. the restore process is great too - put in a special boot floppy and the CD, and away nero goes! AFIK, nero doesn't support compressing data, although it can probably span multiple CDs...

OTOH, on the off chance that I want to restore Windows without reconfiguring, downloading all system updates etc., I would like to make a copy of the partition images, such that I could simply copy them back to the partitions again.
