[SLE] C++

Hi, I'm using SuSe 5.3 and is running fine for a very long time. I first install it with CDROM drive but later the cdrom drive is removed. Now I need to install c++ compiler to install mysql. Is there any method that I can install c++ back without having to reconnect cdrom? which package should I install?

hi, we're usind dump command to backup our system's (suse 6.1) local disks and it works. but, when we want to use this command to backup our nfs RW mounted dirs, it fails. (not actually gives a error message, but it dumps 0.00 of type :) we can read and write those mounted dirs but we could not dump them. so what might be the problem, any idea? here i'm giving some outputs: when we type mount -s ..... 195.174.27.3:/export/home on /mnt/home/users type nfs (rw,addr=195.174.27.3) --------------------------------- and he is the dump command line: # dump 0uBf 2097152 /dev/nst0 /mnt/home/users //its about 750MB dir.

[SLE] suse-linux-e unsubscribe

...fooled you! This is really about unsubscribe! I confess to plain laziness, when I just deleted the old listbox from the config. which now kind of boringly clutters up /var/log/mail with "user unknown". I know it's my fault, but then, suseans, should there not be a routine that checks out MAILER_DAEMON and gets them off the lists ? greetings dan -- ----------------------------------------------------------- ~ WEBDIREKT INTERNET SERVICE GMBH ~ ~ the e-business intelligence company ~ ----------------------------------------------------------- ~ Dieselstr. 5 Fon: (+49) 6173 / 9359-88 ~ ~ D-61476 Kronberg Fax: (+49) 6173 / 9359-59 ~ ~ http://www.webdirekt.de mailto:sysop@webdirekt.de ~ ----------------------------------------------------------- -- 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] Printing

Hi... Wonder if anyone can tell me how to setup the printer for kmail and Netscape....I click on the print icon and send the file to printer and there seems to be a few pages of garbage before it gets to the mail. It would seem to be bypassing the mail filter but how do I get over this?? -- Regards Ted ........................ .

[SLE] Modifying /etc/ppp/ip-up
by abrahams＠valinet.com 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

I would like to make some local modifications to /etc/ppp/ip-up. What is the best way to do that so they won't be lost when I upgrade my system to a new SuSE version? Ideally there would be an /etc/ppp/ip-up.local file called from SuSE's ip-up, but there isn't.

A while ago I wrote configuration options for dvips to do exactly this. Below are files config.duplong and config.dupshort, they must be saved with those names where dvips looks for both PS-headers and(!) config files, as these files are doubling up as both header and config.

[SLE] tape backup software
by cbeers＠bu.edu 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

All: I have acquired a tape device which is a HP SureStore DAT8e (external). I have verified that it is working and that I can tar files to my tape device. However, I was wondering if anyone has used software that allows you to restore your system without first loading an OS. My device uses a technology called OBDR (One Button Disaster Recovery), but I am not sure what software I could get that allows me to use this. Any help and pointers would be greatly appreciated.
