Reply-To: Hi Does SuSE by default install some source RPMS. I just looked in my /usr/src/RPM directory and under SPEC etc there was all ready some stuff there. So far as I know I only installed the kernel source and XPDF source.

Sony has some nice new gadgets, with to little memory though, for mp3's. But wait, there's a catch. Follow this link http://vaiodirect.sel.sony.com/cgi-bin/catalog/catalog.cgi?FNC=detail__Acat… and click "Complete Information" and check the specs. for the OS! Now why's that?

[SLE] Dual boot partitions?
by jdenning＠pobox.com 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

Greetings -- I want to partition a drive so I can install both Win2K and Linux. I've read I should have a very small partition up front for boot? Is this correct? Can anyone give me the scoop on what partitions I best create and install what into what? Should I install Win2K first then Linux? And don't install LILO into the MBR?

[SLE] (OT) Removing EZBios
by jpennington＠atipa.com 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

Hi, everybody! I was hoping that somebody could tell me if it's possible or not (and hopefully how to) remove EZBios from a disk. Though not a Linux-specific issue, I was working on a project for my in-laws last week that involved a hard disk upgrade. The disk cloning software that was included with the new hd installed EZBios without so much as asking me first, and I'm kind of upset about it :/. -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington(a)atipa.com | Kansas City, MO /\\ 816-241-2641 x107 | http://www.atipa.com _\_V -- 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/

Run Yast & install pcmcia which should sort itself out.
