Force a language in YaST (bug in SuSE7.0)

Yes, spanish and italian are similar. Yes, I can select English as default language (I understand it better than spanish) but I am wondering if I can force YaST (modifying a config file or whatever else) to speak italian. Maurizio P.S. Of course I can leave it and enjoy my SuSE 7.0. M.

repeat question : how to install SuSE 7.0 from a directory

Date: Sat, 2 Dec 2000 08:07:33 +0100 From: amircea(a)libertysurf.fr Message-ID: <20001202080733.A374(a)libertysurf.fr> Subject: repeat question : how to install SuSE 7.0 from a directory (asking once again) Hi, venerable SuSE specialists, I can install from the CDROM, but when I transfer the content of the first 7.0 CD in a directory of an existing 6.4 system and thereafter try to install 7.0, on another hard disk on the same machine, selecting from the yast menu "install from a directory", it does not work. The message is that yast does not see what is in the directory. I tried several ways - e.g., with the directory mounted or unmounted, but the message is invariably the same. How can it be done ?

KDE2 - first steps

Message-ID: <3A2CA45A.F2DC17CC(a)alcatel.be> Date: Tue, 05 Dec 2000 09:16:27 +0100 From: Jan Mannekens <Jan.Mannekens(a)alcatel.be> Subject: KDE2 - first steps Hi all, I installed KDE2 (Suse 6.4) the way it is described on the Suse webpages. And I start it by doing: - init 2 - login as user - WINDOWMANAGER=kde2 - startx The problem I have is that when for example I start an extensive grep in an xterm, I cannot type commands in another xterm. Pressing CTRL-C in the Xterm seems not to stop the job. Any ideas on this? Is it possible to add kde2 in the graphical logon screen where a user can already choose between kde, fvwm,... ? Greetings, Jan.

Message-ID: <3A2AF6ED.5030206(a)superonline.com> Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2000 03:44:13 +0200 From: Tuncay Baskan <tbaskan(a)superonline.com> Subject: Choosing an MTA Hello all, I'm in a position to choose a good mail server. My goals are security (of course) and mantaining mailing lists easily. I have never had experience on administrating a mail server before. I know, nothing in computer technology can be clearly stated as "good" or "bad". There is always a trade-off. I only want to learn some very valuable experiences of yours about MTAs. Best regards from Istanbul.

Postfix configuration: omitted points

This part of the postfix FAQ is quite clear, however: http://www.postfix.cs.uu.nl/faq.html#dialup On using procmail with postfix (again from http://www.postfix.cs.uu.nl/faq.html) Using Procmail for system-wide local delivery Warning: if you use procmail in this manner, you must set up an alias for root that forwards mail for root to a real user. See the FAQ entry titled "Mail for root is delivered to nobody". Specify that all mailbox delivery is to be done by procmail. For example: /etc/postfix/main.cf: mailbox_command = /path/to/procmail /etc/postfix/main.cf: mailbox_command = /path/to/procmail -a $EXTENSION If you can, avoid using any shell meta characters or built-ins such as $ or " or IFS or &&, because they force Postfix to run an expensive shell process. However, procmail is a pig, and the gain of avoiding a shell can be unnoticeable. Execute the command postfix reload to make the changes effective. <p> -- Corvin Russell <corvinr(a)sympatico.ca>

Bug found in Z52 driver.

Message-ID: <3A10AA68.D41F738B(a)lightlink.com> Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2000 21:58:48 -0500 From: "Fred A. Miller" <fmiller(a)lightlink.com> Subject: Bug found in Z52 driver. 'Found the problem with the Lexmark Z52 printer driver. Maybe someone here knows how or "why" this happens. The driver sends output to ghostscript. All was working perfectly, UNTIL I attempted to change res. IN StarOffice. The driver that you MUST use in S.O. is the "generic" printer. I attempted to change setting in S.O., instead of using the Lexmark util. It worked the first time, but the next time I went to use the Lexmark util., "nada!" I was stuck at the last setting I used IN S.O. The "cure" was to reinstall ALL of my ghostscript files using Yast1. As long as you ONLY use the Lexmark util. to change any settings, all is well. I'll also pass this info. on to Lexmark. Fred -- If you listen on a quiet night, you can hear the sound of an NT Server reboot.

Diskette Install

However, there is a big problem with installing SuSE on it - it doesn't have a CD-ROM drive. Is there any (fairly easy - i.e. not a several day project) way to copy the key files for basic installation, and maybe X on to diskette form?
