I've got SuSe 7.0 loading from a floppy via LiLo, apparently the disk isn't formatted though. I wonder how I can I make a backup? Or to make it simple, my reason to boot off a floppy is because I mainly boot W2K on the machine...Can Lilo load W2K by default (without typing WINDOWS) and boot Linux if I type Linux or Suse... Oh btw, my experience with Linux is only a week old, so I'm quite green on this...(the mere fact that I got Suse 7.0, NVIDIA 0.9-5 with my GeForce2MX, and KDE 2.01 installed still baffles me...)

Well, not error actually but the LILO was not installed at all, because at the time I set it up, yast said (If I'm not wrong) "your / is on position bigger than 1024 cylinders, and LILO won't work"

Kmail on KDE2

From: JvdW <r2d2(a)yebo.co.za> Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2000 10:24:34 +0200 Message-Id: <00123110243401.00349@fsck> Subject: Kmail on KDE2 Hi everyone I have a question about KDE2's KMail. In KMail you have your "sender" "subject" and "date" fields. When I open Kmail I have(in order from left to right) subject, sender and then date. I can drag send to the left so that it reads sender, subject, date(the way I like it). But whenever I close Kmail and open it again the fields are back to what they were. Hope this made sense. My question is how do I save it so that it stays the way I made it before closing Kmail?? Is there a setting somewhere that I overlooked? -- l8r ./JvdW

Kmail and External Editor

From: Álvaro A.

My experience results in: 1) if I pick kedit, it keeps popping up even after I close kedit and save the message, despite the fact that it "writes" the message in Kmail's message window as it should. OR 2) If I pick gvim (my true option because of vi), I can write it, save it (=close gvim), but it does NOT write it to Kmail message window! Frustrating! Suggestions? Thanks in advance, Alvaro Novo SuSE 6.4 -=- Kernel 2.2.17 -=- KDE 2.1.0-Beta1-0 1:53am up 8 days, 20 min, 7 users, load average: 0.04, 0.06, 0.07

It came with Windows Me preinstalled Obviously my intention is to remove such OS by Linux. The point is, where could I find (if there are), DVD, internal modem, internal lan, display, etc. drivers? I know it is impossible to get original drivers or drivers for devices such winmodems, but I was wondering if anyone knows where to obtain display drivers (SIS Savage 3d) for instance or mouse drivers (trackball). I appreciate your comments on this. :) Wilman

AOpen MX64Pro II & Promise ATA33 card...

Message-Id: <5.0.2.1.2.20001230201331.023df8b0(a)pop.rahul.net> Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2000 20:28:03 -0800 From: "Christopher D. Reimer" <creimer(a)rahul.net> Subject: AOpen MX64Pro II & Promise ATA33 card... Greetings! I'm rebuilding my file server that has an AOpen MX64 Pro II (Via MVP4 chipset with ATA66) motherboard with a Cyrix M2 PR333 cpu. My Linux installation is SuSE 6.3 with the 2.2.16 kernel from SuSE 7.0. I'm trying to set up two Quantum hard drives for a RAID 1 configuration and a Promise ATA33 controller card. The drives previously worked in another system with an Promise ATA66 card, and works fine with the motherboard built-in ATA66 controller. If I don't have the drives connected to the controller card, the controller BIOS won't install and I can boot up into Linux normally. If I have one or both drives connected, the controller BIOS will install but I can't get into Linux. After the configurations for the controllers and hard drive specs are listed, the first hard drive is listed again and the system freezes. (This is before the message for floppy drive driver is shown; sometimes the floppy drive light turns on.) It does seems like a conflict between the controller card and the floppy drive. I'm not sure what the problem is. Thanks! Christopher Reimer
