OK. IF maqish and barno have separate mailboxes on the server you're retrieving from, put the following in your /root/.fetchmailrc and run fetchmail as root. This is almost exactly what I do. poll some.mail.server with proto pop3: username maqish there with password xxxx is maqish here username barno there with password yyyy is barno here fetchall -- Bud Rogers <budr(a)sirinet.net> http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html Though all my neighbors are barbarians, and you are a thousand miles away, there are always two cups on my table. -- 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/

Some time ago, not far from here, a company once wanted to make a demonstration of their computer-aided translation system. While attempting to address a very complex problem, they did their best at providing an impressive user interface, meant to increase the comfort (and probably speed) of the human translator. That was surely not changing the difficult, intrinsic nature of the problem, but they surely tried hard. At the end of the demonstration, they gave a copy of their "Users' Guide", in a form of a nicely printed and bound book, to the people in charge there.

[SLE] Updating packages and missing modules
by calyth＠home.com 14 Mar '00

14 Mar '00

I'm currently running suse 6.1, and a few days ago, I use YaST to update my packages. Along that I installed the kernel source. When I recompile, I was missing three modules. I managed to get the other two running, but I'm still getting an error message about modprobe unable to find char-major-4. Does anyone have any idea about this and what I should do? BTW I did use make mrproper, is it some setting in the kernel configuration that I accidentally turned off?

You should have your printer set up by YaST for your system in general. In WordPerfect you go to File-Print... and then I think it is Add printer. You set up a Passthrough PS printer on your appropriate port. I'm just going from memory, if this is incorrect or if somebody doesn't give exact instructions before I get home from work let me know and I can give more details.

Since I am a newbie, this is surely a case of the blind leading the blind, but I did find a simple solution to a similar problem. My HP Laserjet 1100 is not on the WP8 list of printers, so I installed all of the HP laser drivers, about a dozen, then started trying them one by one. Happily, the Laser Jet III Post Script driver works well. Maybe a similar trick will work with other printers not on the WP list. ----------------------------------------------- Charles Rathbone San Francisco, California Voice & fax: 415-928-7347 Email: hccr(a)thecity.sfsu.edu ---------------------------------------------- -- 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 just received the latest www.elinux.com catalog in the mail, it's bigger than the last one and has SuSE 6.3 on the front cover, this catalog alos has the new Corel Office 2000 for Linux for $99.00 ( being released next month). I hope elinux.com gets a good deal on pre-release orders for the next SuSE release. joe -- 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] pygtk sources?

If you are using YaST, when you select a package to install and want the source as well, press F6. It saves alot of time looking through the 'zq' series.

I, too, agree with Lenz's sentiment. If another company wants to spend all their time creating a super-installer at the expense of creating an excellent dist including an incredible amount of current packages that's fine with me. I would stick with SuSE even if they never came out with a good graphical installer. Plus I'm confident that within a short amount of time YAST2 is going to be incredible.

When you do the printer configuration in WordPerfect, the selection should be PostScript level 1 (a generic device). That way, WP feeds LPR pre-formatted PS documents, and LPR handles the rest. -- 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/
