It will be some time before they remove the dependance on Wine, and as it is, it doesn't work well. Oh well...easy come, easy go...... Fred -- It said "Needs Windows 95 or better".

You might have to compile an experimental kernel or wait for the 2.4 release. Thanks for this info. It appears my camera is supported. May have to put in a new kernel but the the one that comes with v7.0 seems to have the right pieces in it.

New Lilo

From: Matthew Johnson <matthew(a)psychohorse.com> Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2000 14:11:49 -0800 Message-Id: <00120314114902.00825@mon-ami> Subject: New Lilo Good day, This is part test, but also am wondering if anyone else has used the new lilo? I just installed it via SuSe site and it worked really well. Just one issue is yast needs to be updated, so you can avoid having to add the lba32 option in lilo.conf and running lilo with the -L option. I would add to yast myself, but have no idea how. Anyone got a good link on a HOWTO to build rpms? Just installed popper version 3 and it works seamlessly. Many thanks, Matthew

Two nic's & two hubs

Here's the situation: One Penium 60 (no PCI slots), and a couple of other PC's being a mixture of different pentiums 100+ mhz I used to have them on a 10mbps hub, but now I bought a 100mbps (not a switch) one. All of the sytems have a 10/100mbps nic, except for the Pentium60. I use the P60 as a firewall/gateway to the outside world. I wanted to save some money and not buy an extra 10/100mbps hub, so I put second nic in my main fileserver, which is always switched on anyway. I hooked it up to the 10mbps hub to let it connect to the P60-firewall. Still with me? So now the situation is as follows: P60: 1 isdn card connected to outside plus 1 nic 10mbps connected to 10mbps hub p500: 1 pci nic 100 mbps connected to 100mbsp hub and one nic 10 mbps connected to 10 mbps hub All others are connected to 100 mbps hub. P60 hub10 P500 hub100 ----------- ------- ----------- ------- ISP <----->| ISDN | |10mbps |<----->|192.168.2.1| |100mbps|<--> others |192.168.2.5|<----->| hub | |192.168.1.1|<---->| hub | (192.168.1.*) ----------- ------- ----------- ------- P60 does nothing but firewalling and gatewaying. (Very small HD) P500 does DNS, YPserver, Samba, mail etc. All others are just clients (win and SuSE) Now there are two problems: 1. I can see (ping, telnet etc) P500 from P60 and from all other PC's. I can also get to P60 from P500. But to everybody else P60 is invisible. 2. I cannot get ypclient to work on P60 (domain not bound), but it does work on other machines connected to the 100mbps hub. And a question: Is it true that with two hubs you have to use a different 3rd part of the ip-address? (eg .2.5 vs .1.5) I've tried the roaming the howto's, but to no avail. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I feel it would be a waste of money to go out and get a switch hub altough timewise... :-) thanks for any help! keep up the good work Jeroen Verstegen jeroen(a)jota.nl http://www.jota.nl

Fax question

Every day, I receive a fax and have need obviously to get and print it. How, do I do this. I don't need all the power of a fax server, i.e. Hylafax. I just want to receive it. There seems to be no reference to getting faxes, but plenty to send them. Is there a small program, even that I can use on the command line, to get the fax? There used to be one called efax, I think, but I could not find such on the distro. Any ideas would be appreciated. -- Best regards, Gary Today's thought: Chaos, panic, pandemonium - my work here is done.

Display artifacts w/ NVIDIA

From: Jonathan Drews <j.e.drews(a)worldnet.att.net> Date: Sun, 3 Dec 2000 15:04:37 -0600 Message-Id: <00120315143400.00958@linux> Subject: Display artifacts w/ NVIDIA I have display artifacts in the form of mouse pointer trails, when I am using Corel's Word Perfect 8. These remanants of the cursor only ocurr if I move the mouse quickly and are most pronounced in Word Perfect and Abiword. I have followed the advice of the SuSE support data base and reduced my horizontal and vertical refresh rates. They are very near the monitors optimal settings. I have a Diamond Viper 770D RIVA TNT2 card which has the nVIDIA chipset. This is an accelerated video card. I have also installed the nvidia and nv_glx rpms from the SuSE patch site. In addition I added the line Load "glx" to XF86Config. The rest of the KDE applications do not have this problem. Will installing XFree86 4.0.1 make any improvement? Thanks in Advance Jonathan

Eventuall, Mandrake will be the guest operating system. I have couple of questions before I initiate the process and then shout for help. 1) When I install Mandrake under vmware are there any potential problems that I may end with regarding to my actuall OS (Suse Linux) and partions. 2) I remember a discussion in which some people were saying "vmware was not happy with XFree86 4.01 ". I have Matrox G400 DH which currently runs with X4.01 will that cause a problem 3) Are there any other points, suggestions, advices to consider when running linux thru vmware under SuSE linux TIA -- Togan Muftuoglu toganm(a)turk.net 100% MS FREE Absolutely no component of Microsoft was used in the generation or posting of this e-mail.
