I use the internal graphics adapter. There's a PIII 700/Celeron CPU installed and 256 MB of memory. One of the available PCI slots is occupied by an iNTEL EtherExpress/100. Things appeared to work fine during installation, both the internal and "external" LAN adapters were correctly identified, modules loaded, etc. When I got to the network configuration part, however, the system started locking up as soon as Linux begun talking to eth0 (internal LAN). If I remove the adapter (via CMOS or a hardware jumper) and only use the EE/100, things work fine. But I need two adapters for this machine. The internal LAN adapter is built on the iNTEL 82559. I really don't want to do the whole thing over (again), so any suggestions are certainly appreciated.. <p><p>:: Who dares wins ::

Message-ID: <3A1E0433.C34DE789(a)worldnet.att.net> Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2000 22:01:23 -0800 From: Ahbaid Gaffoor <ahbaidg(a)worldnet.att.net> Subject: How to add a printer Hi all. How do I setup a printer on my machine which is physically on an NT box with a Post Script shared version? Is there a tool to do this? We are on a 100 Base T LAN, using TCP/IP. I have an account on the NT box which may be used to access the printer. Can I set this up as some sort of remote printer? thanks, Ahbaid.

Catch 22 - part du

I had gone into YaST and selected 'D' on all of the KDE and KDE apps. YaST indicated it was removing the packages and didn't complaign at any time during the process. Later I was trying to recompile QCad-1.44 and I got a msg relating to a Qt-1.45 library. Looking at the dirs I noticed many KDE1 files still out there. As root I opened KPackage and tried to delete them. I get a 'can't delete - qt-2.2.2 whatever depends on it' msg. I find eight instances of kde1 stuff (like qtext, xgfe, dyde, tuxeyes (!!) ) being 'required' by Qt-2.2.2 stuff. So, THIS TIME I am going to blow away all KDE and QT stuff and just install the KDE2 rpms from SuSE. (Which will leave me at qt-2.1.1. - oh well) JLK

She uses Lotus 1.2.3 to do various business accounts and billings. She also has palyed with the databases for doing bills etc. I do not use X, prefer to be a console man. I am tryng to convince here to get SuSE Linux Personal 7, to use it to do the accounts that she handles with 1-2-3. Basically she uses a lot of macros. Would StarOffice be a sufficent replacement for SmartSuite or should I be looking elsewhere in the Linux world.

I installed Netscape 6 after coming to the conclusion M18 and java was rare coming if anything and considering I write java applets for a living (which output html results, etc so appletviewer was far from good enough and HotJava . . HA HA!!, and Netscape 4.xx java is about the same class) and like to listen to broadcast stations via Realplayer 7. Netscape 6 had some shortcomings but can be overcome. Whereas Realplayer installed, I installed the plugin/mime needs, etc but when either are executed from the command line or as a plugin I get NADA not even a segmentation error or anything, any ideas! When executing lsof shows a open sockets, files, etc then closes them very quickley.
