Did you follow the package description? You have to execute /tmp/upsilon once after the installation.

Hi, ** The chance of having Intel's own driver included within the Kernel ** itself is about zero as Intel does not want it to be part of the Kernel. For ** what reason I have no idea. SuSE maybe able include if they can make a deal ** with Intel, but I wouldn't hold your breath. I didn't suggest including it with the kernel. An optional package could be installed by yast1/2 and the driver configured from there. It's a module (.o) so it should just be modprobable and yast1/2 could pick the module up if it exists. It would save playing around with aliases etc. snd/emu10k1 already does this without the yast installation capability. I'm sure there are EtherExpress owners all over who would like this. Intel, despite what everyone always says, is a very nice company. I'm sure they'd be glad to have their own drivers available to SuSE users. ** Easier setup of two or more Network cards during installation. ** Currently configuring either card sets it up as eth0. Agreed. ** Yast1 or Yast2 inclusion of Primary and Secondary DNS, rather ** than just nameserver. I am too lazy to write out all the zones ** and it would also be nice to follow some sort of template). Agreed again.. ** Now that Yast2 is module based that should be easier to ** accomplish. That would be good. Sorting out the colours in yast2 console mode would make me happy too. Another point I wish to bring up (if anyone is still listening) is:- Why do you need to install xshared to use OpenSSH ????? Apart from these points - I'm the happiest person about :) - Chris.

I just get the error message Error: XtMakeGeometryRequest - parent not composite I upgraded both home and work machines at the same time and get the identical error message on both of them. Anybody else have this problem or know what to do? I have tried reinstalling texcad (by rpm) but this doesn't help. Pete

Netscape 6 is actually looking better.....

Hi, With all the controvosy surrounding Netscape 6 I decided to give it a whirl. Well I was pleasantly surprised to see that its no longer as ugly as it was. Java 2 when enabled seems to be slow, but then if its slow its probably due to all that debugging code in there. At least we are having so much choice in what browser to usde, unlike that other OS out there. Matt

SCSI problem

Message-ID: <3A0AAF1D.1B6BB24C(a)isat.com> Date: Thu, 09 Nov 2000 06:05:17 -0800 From: nevada <phthor(a)isat.com> Subject: SCSI problem I have a problem with an external SCSI hard drive on bootup. If the drive is added to /etc/fstab, at bootup I get the error 'bad superblock' and the bootup ends. If this drive is removed from /etc/fstab, bootup is normal and the drive can be mount at the command line with no problems - /dev/sda1 /new. I suspect the problem is that the advansys driver has not been loaded when the system attempts to mount the drive. I have the following complied into the kernel: SCSI support, disk support, tape support, generic support, probe luns, advansys driver. With these items complied into the kernel I still have to have the advansys driver in boot.local. (At least I thinks these items are complied into the kernel. I complied it with these items as yes) How do I get the advansys driver loaded before the system mounts the hard drives? Any help or ideas please. Hope I was clear enough in stating the problem.

Re: [SLE] FTP update with exactly 32Mb RAM?

Hi, I did an install on a 16Mb system of 6.4 :) Bad idea. You cant do an FTP install as the file has to be held locally. Yast is a bitch on this as I think it uses memory to get the files (of which there is not enough of to run yast and store ftp files while decompressing). You can do this via NFS if you have another box - just export the CDROM and play with the settings until it works, else you're stuffed! - Chris.
