browser q's

Message-Id: <200012060115.eB61FKe22840(a)mail3.i-2000.com> Date: Tue, 05 Dec 2000 20:16:10 -0500 From: Doug McGarrett <dougmack(a)i-2000.com> Subject: browser q's I have two (probably 3) problems here: 1. I must need some java plug-ins to Netscape (the version that comes with Suse 7.0--4.7xx. I don't know what they are, or how to get them, but a lot of sites are not fully accessable. (Microsoft, sharperimage . . . .) 2. I know I have Konqueror (sp) on the machine, because if I get an email with an Internet address in it, and I snap on the address, a browser comes up, which is not Netscape. I assume it is konqueror, or Konqueror. I cannot figure out how to bring this up from the K prompt. If I try to call up an Internet connection, I get a message that I have to configure a dial-up account. I don't dial up, I am always on. So what now? Netscape and Kmail work fine. Well, Netscape _doesn't_ work fine, that's the problem--I don't care about Konquerer (sp?) if Netscape works fine. Aamof, I would like very much to put Konq... out to pasture and make the standard browser Netscape. I just don't know how. Let me have NS 4.7x with all the plug-ins, and yes, I know it's slow, but it works. Forget NS 6.0. I've seen it in Windows. What crap! <p>3. If I call an Internet dns from an email, the Konqueror browser comes on, but it needs the java stuff also. So: Could some kind reader of these words tell me: a: how to access Konqueror without having a dialup number b: what Java plug-ins I need, where to find them, and how to install them, for Netscape, mainly, and/or for Konqueror.

PXE install

This is quite easy with GNU grub (pxegrub) and the vmlinuz+initrd.img files from RedHat, but I haven't had any luck finding equivalent files for SuSE. PXE install is very nice btw for setting up farms of servers - all you need is a master server then whenever a new box arrives, you just plug it into the network. We have grub pop up a menu asking what OS we want to install. I would like to add SuSE to the list. :-)

I d'l all the KDE2 2.01 files for SuSE 7.0, however, the kbase archive FAILED with an icons error, (I have ONLY the "Home" icon on my desktop now), and also a libcdda_interface.so.0 & libcdda_parania.so.0 error. Anyone have any ideas? I really don't care to "blow away" my setup at home. :) Thanks, Fred -- ----/ / _ Fred A.

automount floppies

Message-ID: <3A279A7D.87169420(a)yy-mm-dd.com> Date: Fri, 01 Dec 2000 13:33:01 +0100 From: Florian Kleedorfer <klee(a)yy-mm-dd.com> Subject: automount floppies Hi! For quite some time now I have been trying to make it possible for the users of my suse linux 7.0 (Kernel 2.2.16) systems to use floppy disks under linux as they do under win/dos. I have tried the fdutils package which I am not too overwhelmed by. Autofs is not really what I need, as it has certain drawbacks (mount point not visible before mounting, umounting a floppy not possible if it is still busy, inconsistencies when changing floppies, etc.) I have found some info on supermount (a kernel patch) which seems to do exactly what I want, but I haven't found any patches for kernel 2.2.16 yet. And there may be some other methods I havent heard of yet. Maybe there's some special suse-package that does what I want? Any hints are appreciated! Thanx Florian Kleedorfer

Hi All, I've heard reports of strange things going on but no one has been able to give me a proper report of the problem(s). I've heard of strange bounces, mail being delivered twice, or sometimes hours later than it should have. The problem is, I don't see any problems from here so if you have been experiencing things like this can you please send me headers or mail logs or anything you have that may help? I'd really aprreciate it. -- Cheers, Christopher Mahmood --------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE Inc., Tel: +1-510-628-3380, x5024 580 Second St., Suite 210 Fax: +1-510-628-3381 Oakland CA 94607 Public Key: USA http://www.suse.com/~ckm/key.gpg ---------------------------------------------------------------
