I'm using SCSI emulation (at boot w/LILO) to use my HP CDR/RW. I've modified fstab to mount /dev/scd0 (It mounts manually just fine) and told YAST1 which device to use (and it says it's OK). However, YAST2 cannot mount the CD when I want to add/remove packages. It just keeps asking for CD #1! I can't find anywhere to tell YAST2 how to mount the CD. Any ideas? -- Steve

It looked like the training/courses is only offered in Germany. I also notice mention of SuSE's support of the Linux Professional Institute (LPI). My question is, will SuSE be offering "SuSE training" and certification here is the states? Or is the support for LPI and those courses about the extent of the courses and certification offered here in the States? thanks, jason

Another one of Microsoft's horrors. They purposely want control of both the server and the player. Shame on them. I refuse to play the game, too: if the stream I want isn't available in non-windows format I will not listen to it. Any web site that's got their act together offers at least RealPlayer if not QuickTime in addition to WMP. If your favorite stream is only in WMP you should lobby the company to server in both formats. Sites that only server WMP are assisting the Monopoly. Boycott them until they see the error of their ways. JW At 07:44 AM 11/12/2000 -0800, you wrote: >On Sun, 12 Nov 2000, Jonathan Wilson wrote: > >> Did you mean asf?

Actually, the scripting support on Macs is very good, better than any other platform I've tried 8-) With the use of AppleScript it's pretty easy to to control other application (given that they support Applescript) adding functionality that wasn't previously available. I have for example one that works together with my mail program, a database, a text editor and telnet to manage user accounts on a Linux server (I won't go into details why I need this 8-) but it works beutifully and I have never been able to do anything like this without a major effort on other platforms. And AppleScript works very well with for example Perl or other similar tools. <p> jem -- Jan Erik Moström mailto:jem@mostrom.pp.se Free Elektron http://www.mostrom.pp.se/folk/jem/

Hello to all, from little time I have changed from Netscape to Mutt in order to receive and to send the mail. In the beginning all good, but from some days I more do not succeed to send the mail. I have known that all it could have had to the fact that sendmail is connected directly to the provider of the adressee: but I have verified 2 things at least. 1) the mail I can however send, but from my old one mailer: perhaps Netscape (does not use sendmail?) 2) the present rows in etc/ regarding sendmail, have not been modified from months, therefore they would not have to depend on they the fact who I do not succeed to exit with mutt. You have some other idea? I give you my error log.

Xmmx - wma format pugin

Does anyone know of a wma plugin for xmms or a Linux player for that file format? Sounds a bit strange - but MS occasionally do some things OK -- Stu "The specification said Windows 95 or better, so I installed Linux"
