[SLE] Install w/o CD
by kar＠webline.dk 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

I have a very old 486 33 Mhz that I want to use as a router. The problem is that it is very old, having a CD (I installed several years after it was bought) that is very non-standard. I hope I can somehow install w/o using this CD, as I imagine there's a lot of work getting it to function (the CD is connected to a create soundblaster sound card). There's a working network card in the computer. Can I install using that? -- 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] Re:Printing RFCs? - Justification and Solution
by hattons＠cpkwebser5.ncr.disa.mil 28 Feb '00

28 Feb '00

The reason I came to this list is not because I was seeking help on printing for myself. I was seeking help for the world. I have always hated to print RFCs with the simple protrait, one page per sheet, method. It seems the keepers of RFCs would do well by their audience if they provided a nice way of converting the electronic form of the documentation into hard copy. I hope this rather simple solution helps someone. I encourage the person who has the power to see that the public is able to make use of this thechnique will do just that. I owe a great debt of thanks to Eilert Brinkman for pointing me in the right direction. This works on a Linux box: enscript -B -H -fCourier10 GSSAPI_rfc2078.txt -q -MLetter -o - | psbook -q | psnup -q -2 | psselect -o | lpr After printing the odds, flip the stach and change the -o to -e on psselect. http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/ajcd/psutils/index.html http://people.ssh.fi/mtr/genscript http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/index.html All indications are that these should work on Wintel and most other systems. Someone on this list told me I couldn't do this cross platform. Well it looks like you can. Steve "Steven T. Hatton" wrote: > I just discovered there are page breaks in RFCs.

I do multiple WM stuff with scripts. Create a little script for each wm you want to use along the lines of this template (assuming you use bash shell). There is probably a more elegant way to do this but this works for me! BTW, don't call the script starting kde "kde", KDE is ok though - reason being if your kde script is in the search path, when you type "kde" it will recursively try to run itself rather than /usr/X11R6/bin/kde - I found this out the hard way! #!/bin/sh declare -x WINDOWMANAGER="/usr/X11R6/bin/<WM_executable>" startx for non-bash you might want to et WINDOWMANAGER=........ export WINDOWMANAGER startx ome executable names KDE......kde xfce.......xfwm icewm....icewm On Sunday, February 27, 2000 2:04 AM, KULISHdotCOM [SMTP:noc@kulish.com] wrote: > I installed XFCE but now I want to load KDE again.
