Sorry, Fred, I should have told you that my own research was inconclusive when you made this post yesterday ;). At 12.2mb/sec, as the reviewer pointed out, these disks would be IDEAL for doing the sort of video production work that I plan on immersing myself in over the next few months. You're as old of a hand as I am at searching USENet and the like, so I'm not going to waste my own or your time by saying `check deja.com' (whoops, I just did ;). I'm highly interested in these, too. -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions jpennington(a)atipa.com | http://www.atipa.com Kansas City, MO, USA | 816-241-2641 x121 -- 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] PMail (or better?)
by jsabatke＠execpc.com 28 Mar '00

Hi, Has anyone had any experience with the "new" pmail program? This is the Python based pmail, not the older pmail (they should pick a new name). I have sent emails like this to pmail help, but no answers. I was using Netscrape as my mailer. I am still using Netscrape for my work email reader. Netscrape has created a subdirectory on my local drive (~/nsmail) where I have a hierarchy of mail folders. I want to integrate those folders into another emailer, preserving the tree structure. First, does anyone know what type of mail folders Netscrape creates (MH?)? Second, has anyone had any success in integrating those folders into another email reader?

[SLE] HP 8200 CDR
by davidlist＠get2net.dk 28 Mar '00

Has anyone got a HP CDR/CDRW burner in the new 8200-series working? I bought a CD-Writer Plus 8250i the other day, and I have a problem with xcdroast. It seems my SCSI settings in the kernel are wrong. I use SuSE 6.2 with a recompiled 2.2.10 kernel which works perfectly with the drive just working as a normal CD-ROM drive. I have gone through the CD-writing HOW_TO by Winfried Trumper, and tried recompiling my kernel again with the settings recommended in this document, but it doesnŽt work. When I go to the setup in xcdroast, I am not able to choose a writing or reading drive. The menu is empty. What could I be doing wrong?

Is it possibe to change the dislay resolution of the minitor when you are not in x windows. I have a 17 inch monitor that easily does 1024 X 768 but it seems that when I'm not in x windows the screen is set to 640 x 480 and the font sixe is huge. Where is the configuration file to change my resolution to 1024 X 768 and to possibly reduce the size of my fonts?

[SLE] Innd and address already in use

I'm trying to start offline news reading with inn and such, but I when is start innd, I keep getting an error that says: inndstart can't bind Address already in use The INN faq says that this is because something else in already using port 119 and to comment out the line in /etc/inetd.conf. The only line that appears that might do this is the one which starts: nntp...... This is already commented out. What else could be using port 119 and how do I sort this out, thanks, Paul ------------------ Paul Talacko http://members.tripod.com/ptalacko/index.html -- 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/
