I am getting several messages like the one listed below. They refer to msgs I previously sent and that appeared on the list. They suggest that the attached msg wasn't posted on the mail list, but I know they were for a fact.. An exerpt, listed just below, seems to indicate a revival of a previous problem where the SuSE list got confused between my hostname and the mail header contents. ???

Hello Linux folkz, Today I did rpm --verify -a > somefile.txt I saw a lot of missing packages which I previously removed myself manually. For example: missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/a.out.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/asm_offsets.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/atomic.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/bitops.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/bugs.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/byteorder.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/cache.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/checksum.h missing /usr/src/linux-2.2.16/include/asm-alpha/compiler.h I'm using linux-2.2.17 kernel and I don't need any messages that previous kernel 2.2.16 I removed manually is missing now. Could somebody tell me please how to remove notation about missing packages from rpm database when I do verification of installed packages Thank you in advance. Alex

SV: [SLE] Suse 7 2GB+ ... I'm confused

I'm confused Hi Ben Thank you. But why does the source for the kernel contains compiler directives for large files? In redhat 7.0 is it possible to select a kernel with support for large files on 32 bits systems instead of the normal kernel. That kernel is compiled with the mentioned directives defined. Are they trying to trick the filesystem or what, er dont know. I installed RH 7.0 with that kernel, and som lib patches, but with the same degree of succes (none!) So, all in all, I'm confused. I did mail to SuSe Support Services, and they claim they can solve the problem for 240 EUR. I need it solved, so I'm looking forward to se what the solution will be. Lars L.

I have tried yast, trying several different permutations of options but cannot get anything to print. I have an HP 4050N sitting on the network. I have a RH 7 box that can print to it w/o problems. I am not print guru, having cheating most of my life and using HP's jetadmin software. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks greatly, Chuck
