[SLE] Gets better and better...

This week I got my printer working (downloaded lprold). My Mac and Windows Machines also print to lp2. Centralized at last! I still admit I don't know what's going on or what voodoo I'm using for this, but it's working for now. Finally experienced sound. Installed an AWE64 sound card and updated Real Player to 7. With Real and Flash, the web is pretty lively on my Linux box. For my favorite improvement, I used DENY to stop a .mp3 search engine that was sniffing my ftp server every 15 minutes! Or is this my favorite achievement? Got my wife using SuSE Linux as "her" computer. She was always complaining because I rent my various Windows computers sometimes, and her e-mail goes with them. The Linux box don't move, so she logs-in and logs-out and all that. That's cool. Anyone who has read my posts or replies over the past year, knows these to be major achievements! I'm still dumb though, I was all hacking the isapnp.conf file and then decided to follow the instructions and use OSS from the install CD. Poof! Easy as can be, though I tried to make it hard. Next, and almost last on my list, get two ethernet cards working. It was not automatic last time I tried it, though that does not mean much. Good work everyone on the planet! Keep it up so I can keep having fun! -------------------- Help yourself first, search this list at: http://www.geocrawler.com _____________________________________________________ Daniel Woodard daniel.woodard(a)extricate.com design(a)mindspring.com -- 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/

I have just installed a 20GB Matrox UDMA harddrive on my system and would like to move or reinstall mySuSE Linux on to it while leaving the old 5.0 GB hd to Windows NT for my work related computing needs. I understand that Linux kernel 2.2.x and under do not yet handle UDMA 66 which is what my new hd is. Can someone help me out here with suggestion of how to move my installation to this new drive?

[SLE] OT:scwm and 6.3
by dahlqvist＠sundsvall.mail.telia.com 30 Mar '00

30 Mar '00

I don't want to congest the list whith this OT subject, but if there is a short answer to my questions I would be happy: Has anyone got scwm to work whith SuSE 6.3 out of the box? Was it worth it? The reason i'm asking is that I installed scwm yesterday from the SuSE CD's (just playing around until 6.4 arrives,MAYBE late next week)and it just doesn't work. All dependencies are satisfied and I've tried all the .scwmr example files. -- 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/
