You didn't say anything about that... You should look at one of two tools (that I have personally used) for DBA, face and phpmyadmin. I don't know about the former, but the latter is available on freshmeat. The interface is up to you, but I would recommend something written in PHP. Not that I know anything at all, but you have clearly exposed your newbie-ness by requesting a form designer. MS consumer/light-duty products like Access have form designers; Real Work (tm) databases do not. If a pretty form is what you're after, I'd recommend building the database with a real SQL engine (such as MySQL/mSQL/PostgreSQL) and then attaching to it with the StarOffice database tools. StarOffice is in the [pay] series on the SuSE CD's. -- 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/

RE: [SLE] Corel cheated.

Hello all, I beleive Corel have their own version of Wine. They are supposed to merge their specific changes back in the main version after their release if my memory serves me right.

FedEx tried to deliver my copy of Corel Office 2000 but I was at a funeral, or I would have posted a preliminary evaluation. I knew it was a port that would run under wine. I am curious to know how fast, though, and how stable, which may depend on which version of wine. JLK On Fri, 31 Mar 2000, Fred A.

I think you want -L for local (no carrier detect). That would explain why you don't get a login prompt, but then you wouldn't get one with a stock kernel either. Mine looks like S0:23:respawn:/sbin/agetty -L 9600 ttyS0 I'll recompile my kernel this weekend and see what I get.

[SLE] unable to write on a nfs fat32 drive

ok i'm stuck on this simple little thing how do you let various users write to a vfat drive. The only way i have been able to do it is by squishing everybody to root but i don't really like that. Is there a better way of doing this? -- 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/

Depending on how aggressive you feel about getting colours, and if parentheses do not induce psychological problems for you (:-), it is not that difficult adding colouring yourself. I surely did it for many things, sometimes rather personal. I remember I had to study for many hours before doing my first, but now, I'm less afraid of doing those things myself. P.S. - For example, I added an Emacs command ('C-c H' :-) taking care of my own schedule, while tracking projects and all the things I should be doing. I just cannot keep these up all in my head, and I'm very serious while saying this! When that command considers I should see the overall schedule table, it gets displayed all nicely coloured. :-) -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard -- 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'm using SuSE 6.3-03 (installed from a SuSE mirror ftp site recently). I don't get "ljet4l" as an option, only "ljet4". Since the printers supported by apsfilter are driven by Ghostscript, I looked at my version. The version of Ghostscript I have installed is: Aladdin Ghostscript 5.50 (1998-9-16) If you do a "gs -h | more", what version of ghostscript do you have? Also, what version of SuSE Linux do you have installed?
