Processor Power and SuSE 7.0 ?

Message-ID: <79C9E272CA9DD111A6910060082B1BE37CE984@HAPPY> From: Dee McKinney <dmckinney(a)akfiberstar.com> Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2000 14:00:57 -0900 Subject: Processor Power and SuSE 7.0 ? I have been compiling most of my apps that are available as source and I currently run an "old faithful" AMD K6-2/400 3DNow processor. Seems it is slow as the apps are growing in source, etc., and even though the bus speed is 100Mhz on an Asus P5A with 320megs PC100 RAM, and a 7500rpm EIDE, a UW SCSI bus with UW periph's, all in all, the processor seems to be the anchor under SuSE 7.0 ? With all the latest chip improvements, what's a good MB/processor combo for a current Linux distribution with general requirements ? I know Tom's Hardware has a good site, but is there anything specific for Linux ? Thanks and Regards /Dee W.D.McKinney (Dee) Alaska Fiber Star, LLC. http://www.akfiberstar.com

E.g. process the queue every 2 hours, but if more than 15 messages are queued process now... I've done this with Lotus Notes and MS Exchange. TIA, Mark

From: "Sean Akers" <seana(a)romaxtech.com> Message-ID: <8025699F.003E6928.00(a)romaxtech.com> Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 11:25:08 +0000 Subject: ISDN Courier I-modem with SuSE 7.0 Sean Akers@ROMAX 22/11/2000 11:25 I am having a few difficulties installing an internal ISA USR Courier I-modem for dial on demand with SuSE 7.0. I'm not sure whether i4l will work this modem or whether to use it as a normal modem using wvdial.dod. I have tried using wvdial.dod but it always connects using analog dialup and not ISDN. Has anyone set up one of these under SuSE ? Any help/suggestions much appreciated. Sean.

You can download the image from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/kernel/promise/eide and mirrors. Dump the image on a floppy disk using RAWRITE (if you use DOS/Windows) or with the following command (insert a blank floppy disk): dd if=eide of=/dev/fd0 bs=9k If you were able to install SuSE Linux with this boot disk, make sure to replace the installed kernel image with the one on the floppy disk using the following commands (as root): mcopy a:linux /boot/vmlinuz lilo Enjoy!

100 dpi fonts

Message-Id: <20001122123817C.fgs(a)epulse.net> Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 12:38:17 GMT From: Francesco Scaglioni <fgs(a)epulse.net> Subject: 100 dpi fonts Please excuse if this is a silly question. Having measured my screen and allowing for the fact that it runs 1024x768 I decided that the native resolution (LCD screen) was about 92 dpi. In an attempt to inprove the on-screen appearance of fonts I commented out the 75 dpi lines in xconfig. So far so good but all the title bars now have larger sized type. In a similar vein is it possible to persuade X to use a specific dpi resolution? I accept that these questions show my lack of understanding about x and fonts in general but any suggestions would be most appreciated. Many Thanks Francesco

Message-ID: <3A1BAB99.22FF7AEC(a)eurodyn.com> Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 13:18:49 +0200 From: Nikos Vamvakas <nivam(a)eurodyn.com> Subject: Suse 7.0 and Lilo I just purchased the SUSE Linux 7.0 and Im intending to install it on my pC. My PC is allready running Win 98, and I want to use both Win98 and Linux using the dual boot feature as explained in Lilo doc. My question is whether I install lilo on MBR or not. My hard drive is a 13Gb and it has two FAT32 partitions, a 9,9Gb and a 3Gb and I intend to install Linux on the 3Gb parttion. I know that I have to convert the FAT32 filesystem to Linux parttion, but I dont know how I ensure that /boot will be under 1024 cyl. thanks for any support
