You need to make a bootdisk with the current version of YAST and currentish kernel. You may also need to make supplemental disks with modules, in case your network card is not as mainstream as some. Laptop disk too, if your installation is on a laptop. You can make these current disks from those stored at: ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/7.0/disks Boot from the bootdisk, wend your way through the YAST menus to load the appropriate hardware modules, either from the bootdisk itself, or from modules1 or modules2 as necessary. Then start working your way through the installation menus on YAST. You will have to tell YAST what your current network settings are supposed to be; you will also have to provide YAST either with a nameserver address or the address of the ftp site itself (e.g. ftp.suse.com itself is 202.58.118.5) and you'll have to provide the directory to go to when YAST connects (i.e. /pub/suse/i386/7.0/suse/ or /pub/suse/i386/current/suse/ as you prefer). Then launch the monster and let the it chug away. Be warned that this is not exactly a zippy procedure --even with a cable connection it can take 5-6 hours or more; trying a 56k modem installation, you could probably order the CDs and have them arrive at your house before the ftp install has finished. But it works, and works well and reliably. Cheers, --Kevin On Sun, 19 Nov 2000 17:09:00 -0900, W.D.McKinney wrote: >Looks like lists.suse.com is down so no serching the mail list >for this answer.

CONFIG_NLS in kernel options

Say Y here for the Latin 5 character set, and it replaces the rarely needed Icelandic letters in Latin 1 with the Turkish ones. Useful in Turkey. What does this exactly do ? To my understanding it has nothing to do with locale support in regards to time money sort order etc. This is just to read and write Microsoft fat filesystem. If I have this in the kernel as a module or as default that is at the end what it will provide !

FM801 sound card ! HELP

HELP hi I dont know anything about sound on linux, so far i was happy without sound, but i do want to do something about this. Till recently, i thought my sound card was yamaha something ,and tried compiling alsa drivers for them. But when i discovered the command lspci,and it gave my sound card ( or chipset... i'm confused what is what ) as "Fortemedia, Inc | Xwave QS3000A [FM801]" , i compiled the alsa drivers for it. compilation worked proper, as did snddevices. But i dont know what to put in the /etc/modules.conf , so i somehow put exactly what was there for the ymfpci and changed only the "ymfpci" to "fm801". But right now i can play only the wave files. when i use playmidi for instance, it gives the error as .."No playback device found". This is my modules.conf alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias usb-controller usb-ohci # ALSA portion alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias char-major-14 soundcore alias snd-card-0 snd-card-fm801 # OSS/Free portion alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss So what's wrong ? regards cheedu -- ********* All art is quite useless --Oscar Wilde *********

In the end I bought a new hard disk and put that on the ATA-66 bus and boot everything off that disk; this also serves as my Linux disk. Highpoint (the manufacturer of the onboard raid) have Linux drivers that support ATA-100 but unfortunately no raid support yet. I am considering dropping raid 0 and using the two disks as separate ATA-100 disks; I am finding I use Windows 2000 less and less now. Obviously I would lose the speed advantage of raid 0 in the other operating systems but I would gain more hard disk space and extra speed for Linux.

I have aquired a set of of slick-arse boards in which onboard hardware raid 0 raid 1 can take place via hardware setup in the bios Abit kt7 and bx133 raid boards...... Question is ? is it possible to use this in linux at full capacity as in windows/2000 I set it up in the bios and then partition it from within the setup during w2k install my two seagate brracudas ide 15g look like one 30g drive and fast as hell(well as far as ide is concernd........ I will start looking just wondering if it is implemented in linux full ata/100 support on these boards or not................. Second question if this works then when installing suse/redhat it looks like you have to partition each drive seperately so I was confused as to if the raid 0 is realy there or not........ someone give a shout if they have some experience w/this please....
