At least, I've been told so. ISO was never meant to be an English acronym, as it is international by essence, and not especially English. The way for naming ISO varies for each language, and the proper English rendering is "International Organization for Standardisation" (modulo `s' and `z', I'm not sure). It is merely a coincidence that the same letters appear. -- 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/

you don't need kernel support for serial mice. Why not have standard serial port compiled in instaead of as module ?

RE: [SLE] Next version (6.4)?
by kevin.jackson＠jhallpr.demon.co.uk 15 Mar '00

According to LinuxIT (www.linuxit.co.uk) SuSE 6.4 is out in April. It will have Kernel 2.2.14 and better support for graphics (I'm assuming XFree86 4.0). I wonder if Yast2 has been bug fixed? Looking at SuSE's web site, it doesn't mention anything about the release of 6.4! (If it is, it is hidden away). On a second note, I was pleased to read that the commercial version of Quak III for Linux comes shipped with SuSE 6.3! :o) Kevin Jackson Systems Administrator James Hall & Co.

[SLE] devpts ?
by yann.fusero＠tmx.thomson-csf.com 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

hello all I've got a message error when booting since I've rebuilt a new kernel to fit my hardware. I don't know which option I changed from the Suse stock kernel but now, when booting I've got an error message about "devpts" (it has something to do with modprobe and the /proc/devpts filesystme not supported by the kernel). I'm using a 2.2.10 kernel with suse 6.2 and did : make dep; make clean; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install; make bzlilo; depmod -a in the /usr/src/linux directory now everything works fine except my scsi cdromwriter because the "auto" option for the filesystem in /etc/fstab doesn't seem to be supported. any idear ?

[SLE] Problems with gpm on SuSE 6.3 !?!
by crosby＠sec.sibnet.ro 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

Hello all , I have a strange problem with SuSE 6.3. I've rebuilt a new kernel to fit my hardware. All works ok but the gpm demon not work properly. When I look at /proc/intrerrupts I see no intrerupts allocation for serial module. I kill the gpm demon and I rerun the serial script in /sbin/init.d. When I restart the gpm all works fine and the intrerupt apears as alocated for serial module. I solve this problem including in gpm start script another call of serial script but it's not a nice method. In the serial script I don't have made any modification. Another precisation : with the original SuSE 6.3 kernel ( with the same script's ) all works ok !!. In the configuration of kernel I've included the suport for general mouse. Have anybody some ideas ?

[SLE] How to associate file extencion with certain application in kfm.?
by alex＠daniloff.com 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

Hello linux folks! I'm using KDE as my primary desktop environment. Some files in kfm window are already linked to certain applications. When you point and click on a file it invokes a corresponding application, viewer or editor according to the file's extension. Does somebody know how to associate file type and its extension with corresponding application which must be invoked when you point and click on the file in kfm window or on KDE desktop? I need to associate .doc files with StarOffice5.1 and .gif, .jpg with Gphoto applications. Thanks in advance for any help.

[SLE] Any Mathematica users out there?
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 15 Mar '00

15 Mar '00

I just upgraded my MMA to 4.0.1 along with an order of magnitude increase in hardware. The new MMA generates graphics much faster. Unfortunately something is amiss with regard to running a large animation. I have run exactly the same animation under MMA 3.x and did not have the problem. And that was with half the RAM I now have. What happens is that the entire animation does not stay in physical memory. I can hear the hard drive reading and writing at the same time I see the animation slow to a crawl. When I look at my resources the indication is that Linux is not using its swap space, and the physical memory is not even close to exhausted. I don't really know how to approach this. I have a 600MHz PIII with a 133MHz outer bus, an ATI Rage 128 GL AGP with 32 Meg of RAM, 256 Meg of 133 MHz system RAM, kernel 2.2.13, SuSE 6.3, and I am using the KDE. Any ideas?
