Im fixing to switch over from novell to linux on one of our servers an need to get printing going if I'm to switch over. thanks I plan to buy the full 7.0 when i get it working here. jack

I gather I should make an image file on the share. How do I start? I tried using fstype = iso9660 in smb.conf. I can access this share, but it is not recognised as a cd player Anybody has any hints?

Does ** anyone use this card under SuSE and, if so, how ** is it performing? Show me the page!!! I'll build a copy of X and run it if it is required :) I've had to pull my Radeon out and stick the voodoo 3 back in. What a waste of cash at the moment (plus my AGP slot is getting worn out :P ) As for the Radeon driver, it's done by Precision Insight so it should be rather good. I don't think we'll be seeing HW T&L and decent 3d performance yet though :( - Chris.

IRQ sharing

Message-ID: <3A0AD6D3.96690F35(a)pro.procergs.com.br> Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2000 14:54:43 -0200 From: Flavio Arthur Leal Ferreira <arthur(a)pro.procergs.com.br> Subject: IRQ sharing I installed two RealTek PCI network cards in a firewall box. Both cards are using IRQ 10. It is working. I don't understand how irq sharing works. I had read something about optional support to irq sharing with serial ports. But with PCI bus, is it standard? Does it impact performance? I didn't find any information in pci-howto. Can anybody give some hints? Thanks.

RE: [SLE] Reiser FS fsck ? Help, I can't mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/

Help, I can't mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/ Hi all, This thread was posted a long time ago, but I now need to find similar solutions. I had a most unpleasant experience last night. After making alterations to try to improve my modem speed (setting ttS1 to sp_vhi), my machine refused to boot into X. startx worked, and so did kdm, but I couldn't return to the graphical login, even though the rc.config option was set to kdm. So I commented out my changes affecting the modem, and rebooted. Again it refused to boot into X, but this time kdm hung when I started. I had to do a warm reboot as the keyboard was looked. Kernal panic about half way through the reboot... I also notice root d_count=reached (this from memory, and it flashes past very fast) or something similar - is this the max mount count reached and would that cause the booting into X problem? mmm... After that, the machine reset itself to reboot about midway through the booting process. I tried to boot a rescue system, but no joy. I have: /dev/hda1 ext2 /dev/hda3 reiserfs mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/ fails under the rescue system, complaining that /dev/hda3 has the wrong major or minor number? I guess this is due to reiserfs? Can I mount this rieserfs partition using the rescue system off the CD (v.6.4)? If so, how? What has likely trashed my machine and what should I check to get back my work of the last month? All / any suggestions are welcome, because as far as I could see, /sbin under the rescue system has no reiserfsck on it (dump and resize and utils are there, but not fsck), so if there is a problem (and it looks bad?) what can I do? :-( I don't care about getting X back, I just want last month's work! k.

YaST2 and y2bignfat problem

The return from YaST is from the application y2bignfat (nice name:)) that it cannot locate the shared library object "libmng.so.0". In looking thru the list of dependencies for the YaST? components I can not find this library in any of the lists and a search of the Support Database has not been very fruitful. Can anyone help?... -William
