[SLE] SuSE DVD?

I'm thinking about getting the DVD version of the 6.3 distro, but I'm not sure about Linux being able to read the DVD drive.

Not dual speed, dual PORTS. I've got a gateway box with 2 NICs in it and I'm looking for a single card that can handle 2 10-T connections at once so I can free up a slot. -John Allen Carpenter said: > On Sat, 26 Feb 2000, you wrote: > > Does anyone know of a good PCI ethernet NIC with dual 10base-T ports that > > works with Linux? > > > > Thanks, > > > > -John > > > There are a lot of good ones out there.

[SLE] An error occurred during installation
by test2654＠yahoo.com 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

Installing linux & FreeBSD separately on the same 486DX2-50, 8M RAM, 2.8G HD, AIBIOS, sound blaster clone, both fail as follows. 1. FreeBSD reaches message: "Copying the boot floppy to /stand on root filesystem", then says "Starting an emergency holographic shell". It goes on to read 35K in 1st block of /bin and stalls. Progress display at 0% 2. SuSE Linux will install a single package without displaying progress. Before starting the next package it stops installing w/ error messages: "An error occurred during installation!", and on the ALT4 screen it says: "Program Aborted! ERROR: open output file, DETAIL 0, FILE: SystemCmd.cc, LINE: 530, YaST Return Code is 256 (errno=4)". However, I can install them one-by-one! SuSE linux can install with 4M RAM, FreeBSD with 5M RAM. I removed the HD and put it into second machine, loaded both systems on that machine, then put the drive back in the 1st machine to see what happened. Linux and FreeBSD ran, and would update. I just cannot install! The 2nd machine has 12M RAM, and still gives a "cannot allocate memory" error while installing. Machine 1 has 8M RAM, machine 2 has 12M RAM. Have changed every BIOS setting. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

[SLE] XFCE and Other WM's
by noc＠kulish.com 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

I installed XFCE but now I want to load KDE again. I tried "startx kde" and "startx kdm", without the quotes, but it insists on loading xfce. I even tried setting the system wide default WM to KDE, still with no luck. What am I missing here? Thanks.

[SLE] Does Star Office 5.1 print TTFonts?
by genz1968＠mtu-net.ru 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

Hello, I'm working on getting True Type fonts working in X for SuSE 6.2 using xfsft. Eventually, I would like to get Star Office to print True Type fonts. I know others have tried. But has anyone succeeded in getting Star Office 5.1 to print TTFonts? If so, any HOW-TO's out there on this?

[SLE] Tux Taking to the Air?

Hi, All - Some news: there's a *possibility* of my having a radio show on a local volunteer radio station. The show would be centered around Linux, Open Source, GNU, etc. One of the topics i'd like to broach initially is the various Linux distros. We all know SuSE 8)...but how many of us know pros and cons of other distros? Specifically, does anyone on the list have experience with: Debian (or its derivates, Corel and/ or Storm)? Red Hat? Yellow Dog? Coyote? Slackware? Caldera? Any others that i happen to have missed, and which you think might be worth mentioning? Any and all feedback is most welcome!

[SLE] ANNOUNCE: KDE2 Prealpha binary's for 02282000 available
by molnarc＠nebsllc.com 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

A new version of the KDE ALPHA binaries are available at nebsllc.com. Please read the README file in the same directory. These binaries are built from CVS as of 28 February 2000 at 8am Eastern Standard Time (-0500). Korganzier has been merged with kdepim so korganizer package is no longer present. Abbrowser did not compile so it is not in the kdepim package. There has been an update to the qt-copy and you will need to get a new version. The experiment with the small version of qt-copy did not work, so we are back to one version. These files are available via ftp from: ftp://ftp.nebsllc.com/kde2/current or via http at: http://www.nebsllc.com (follow links for kde2 Alpha binaries) You will also be able to find these at: http://www.htw-dresden.de/~s2697 The installs have been tested by me on a RedHat 6.1 machine. They have also been reported to work on all other distributions. If you are running prior Alpha's I highly recommend you update. There are a lot of fixes and some structural changes in the packages. You will also find Source tar.gz's in the same directory. -- -------------------------------------------------------- Christopher Molnar New England Business Services, LLC Hartford, CT USA (860)956-9408 molnarc(a)nebsllc.com "It said uses Windows 95 or better, so I loaded Linux!" -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

[SLE] udma66 question
by mapler＠erinet.com 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

Hello all, I see on the support DB that lilo can't boot linux from a udma66 hard drive controller. My question is, are the disk geometries only messed up at boot time, or are they shot even after booting? If I boot from a floppy, will I still have problems? (I am still gathering the final pieces of my new machine - will be assembling it in a couple of weeks. Will be running Suse 6.3 on an Athon 700 with a 13.6Gb IBM Deskstar 7200 rpm drive and a VIA KX133 motherboard supporting udma-66) Thanks, Ray -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
