MoneyDande doesn't do household inventory or keep your stock portfolio (there are other Linux-Unix package$ that do that) but it does all that I ever did with Quicken. So, Win95 went into my museum.

John Q. Public here :-) I confess. I'm the reason Linux isn't ready for prime time. Love Linux Hate Billy G Don't want to use anything M________ I know Winxx pretty well, can do most install and setup stuff there. I have no programming or comp training but I can read pretty well. I've been trying periodically to get SuSE 6.1 to run on my machine ever since it came out. I had a brief rush when I mysteriously was able to print some simple documents but that ability is gone again since I added a few packages from the SuSe CDs. Never been able to get sound, scanner, or zip drive to work. (Read the manual and still have no clue) The Man files are even worse. Sometimes I think that my printing won't work because I have no network setup, it's just me and my box, but what have network and printing to do with each other? I need to print so I go to my tiny Win partition because i know how to install drivers there and presto they work and my printer prints. We John Qs who can't intuitively see how this line touches that line, and drop a link here and there, are lost in Linux still. And it's veeeery frustrating! Sorry to be such a downer but I thought I had the printer thing figured out, but it's still silent over there, and I need some stuff this morning. So it's off to reboot into Win98 so I can prepare for work.....

[SLE] Sparc beta!
by mattias＠hemmet.chalmers.se 07 Mar '00

07 Mar '00

Will there be a beta of SuSE on Sparc available anytime soon. We have an IPX that we'll use as DNS server, and since we already use the other three flavours of SuSE, switching to another dist. really isn't all that great. I read earlier that the problem was Ultra:s not beeing stable, but since this isn't an Ultra, I wonder if there is an version I can use. On this machine will only sshd and named run, so problems will be easy to locate.

[SLE] Can't explode TrueType rpm
by genz1968＠mtu-net.ru 07 Mar '00

07 Mar '00

Hello, I found a TrueType rpm at http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/contrib/noarch/noarch/webfonts-1-3.noarch.html But the rpm won't install because it needs for me to install the program chkfontpath. Well I don't want to install this program. I just need the fonts. I tried rpm --nodeps * '*' since if was the only file in the directory. This did not work. Is there a way to explode this rpm, even though I do not have depency programs installed. Just want the fonts. I read the man. The --nodeps did not work. MicroSoft's site no longer offers Times NewRoman, Arial, and Courier in Win3.1 format, in case someone directs me there.

RE: [SLE] Getting errors from mailservers: domain not found, doma in must exist, etc.

It sounds like an improperly set up spam filter. I say that because I and several others on the list recieved similiar messages about a week or two ago. Are the rejections coming from the same place or several different domains? If the former the problem is not on your end, there is little you can do about it. If the domains are all different make sure they are truely different not just aliases.

[SLE] Getting errors from mailservers: domain not found, domain must exist, etc.
by icarus＠guldennet.nl 07 Mar '00

Hi, SuSE 6.0 is acting as the main server of the ISP I'm working for. Sometimes I get the message from mailservers saying that my domain was not found, was not properly configured or does not fit in my servers advertising... What can I do about this? Here's part of my zonefile: @ IN SOA ns.guldennet.nl. hostmaster.guldennet.nl. ( 1999121401 ; Serial (yyyymmdd##) 10800 ; Refresh 3600 ; Retry 604800 ; Expire 86400) ; Minimum ; IN NS ns.guldennet.nl. IN NS ns.inn.nl. IN NS ns1.adam.ixe.net.
