But first check if /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h does exist. If it does, but /usr/include/linux does not exist, just issue a ln -sfn /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include/linux BTW, which kernel sources do you have installed (plain kernel or SuSE kernel)? If the latter and you're using SuSE Linux 7.0, just change to /usr/src/linux and do 'make cloneconfig'. This will read the configuration from /proc/config.gz and then configure the kernel accordingly. Once again, you *only* need this configuration run, as it will create the configuration headers.

There's an auto mounter called 'autofs'. It's package "autofs" in the "n" series, at least on the 6.4 CD's. 'autofs' will mount a floppy or CDROM drive when a new disk is inserted. 1. Install series "n", package "autofs". 2. In YaST, go to the menu "System administration" -> "Change configuration file". 3. Find START_AUTOFS and change it to "yes". 4. Edit /etc/auto.master. Mine reads (1 line): /mnt /etc/auto.mnt 5. Create /etc/auto.mnt. Again, mine reads (2 lines): cdrom -fstype=iso9660,ro :/dev/cdrom floppy -fstype=auto,umask=0 :/dev/fd0 7. Make sure there are no entries for the floppy or CDROM in /etc/fstab. 6. At a shell prompt, type in "/sbin/init.d/autofs restart". -- Robert Wohlfarth rjwohlfar(a)bigfoot.com "My theory's right.

Internet DSL + LAN

Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2000 21:12:45 +0100 Message-Id: <00110921573801.01108@suse> From: vhf(a)skynet.be Subject: Internet DSL + LAN Hi all, Just came back from Africa and was very surprised not to be able to connect to internet. I was running an old box with win + sygate for internet sharing in my home network. Well, the ISP decided to change the connection to EnterNet 300 MTS PPPoE ( something like that ). I managed to connect to internet with my linux box,running suse 7, and downloaded that MTS Alcatel soft stuff. Well, it took me 2 days to get things working especially that virtual MTS pppoe nic card, crashing everything down. Even had to download a later version of Sygate (4). Standing to my resolution not to spend one more penny on win, I would appreciate some brain-help before setting up my little network. This is my network : adsl nic 1 : dhcpclient server clients 1......4 nic 2 : 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2.....5 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 This is the windows configuration : Server : nic card for internet is a DLink 530. Connection = DSL via alcatel ADSL modem ( windows : IP=10.0.0.1 mask = 255.255.255.0 Gateway = empty DNS : host=pppoe domain=pppoe search = 195.238.2.22 and 195.238.2.21 ) The virtual MTS nic gives : IP : obtain automatic DNS = same as DLink. nic card for LAN is a RTL 8029AS. ( windoos : IP = 192.168.0.1 mask = 255.255.255.0 Gateway = empty DNS = same as DLink ). Client : for example my Linux box : nic = Dlink 530 ( windows : IP=192.168.0.3 mask =255.255.255.0 Gateway = 192.168.0.1 DNS = same as DLink server but could be 192.168.0.1 accordingly to sygate notes ) ( I have 4 clients 192.168.02--->05 ) My questions are now : assuming DSL connection + client config is no problem 1. How do I setup the server : - dhcpclient for nic1 - DNS as mentionned above - nic2 : RTL : IP = 192.168.0.1 mask = 255.255.255.0 ?????????: Gateway : empty or 0.0.0.0 or 192.168.0.1 The gateway is my main problem for routing here. 2. Are there some more things to do here ( IP settings )? - host table ? route table ? resolving ? 3. masquerading : will the following work ? ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/16 -b -j MASQ 4. Do I need a firewall ? or is ipchains ok ? If yes which firewall ( easy to setup ) 5. Do I need a proxy ??? Really thank you in advance filip.

It is the best printer I have used under Linux for quality. It comes with a gui tool for selecting paper size, paper type, print quality, alignment, etc which works very well. The print speed is slow however and nowhere near the 15ppm b&w and 7ppm colour in the specs. Still, at last there is a printer manufacturer that supports Linux. I would recommend this to anyone wanting great print quality under Linux. Roy
