Hi: I have been looking at installing a Atapi/ide DVD drive in my SuSE 7.0 box, want to make use of some of the programs on the DVD. Will pretty much any Atapi/ide DVD work. I have been looking at the Acer 12x, I have had good luck with their CDROM drives. Are then any that I should stay away from. I am pretty much wanting to sitick to CompUSA in stock items for this.

Netscape 6.0

Miller" <fmiller(a)lightlink.com> Subject: Netscape 6.0 There's a LOT to like in the new 6.0, like nice sharpe fonts, NICE features, etc., but even on my box here at home, it's MUCH slower than 4.76 and M18, which ISN'T even close to being stable. Personally, I wouldn't have released 6.0....not stable yet and is obviously bloated. Fred -- If you listen on a quiet night, you can hear the sound of an NT Server reboot.

[SLE] how to install SuSE 7.0 from a directory

The message is that yast does not see what is in the directory. I tried several ways - e.g., with the directory mounted or unmounted, but the message is invariably the same. How can it be done ?

mac osX The end of Linux?

I saw mac osX at a local fair here in Madrid. The demonstrator told me that it would do away with Linux since it had a far superior desktop, designed by professionals. And that anyway, all unix based systems would buy it because they have never had a proper desktop like a mac. I told him that KDE2 was available now, that it worked and it too was designed by professionals. Nonsense, he said. Where is the graphics package I asked, wanting to play a little... But by then it was getting late. Or am I missing something? Long may we be rid of the nonsense! Steve.

Suse boot message

Yestardy I was entering in the installation disks of the suse 6.4 and I thought that I could make a really pretty boot (lilo) message like the one that appears when you enter this way. I the less-ed that message and I observed it has a lot of codes for formating colors and so. Does anybody know how can I do the same? Or, how can I get colors in such a text file? Thanks.
