Re: [SLE] NFS mount problem
by jkrough＠cojones.chem.lsu.edu 14 Mar '00

Philippe, I didn't really do anything because the problem was on the computer I was trying to mount, the nfs server was not started. I suspect that I was unable to get any information from rpcinfo because the portmap on my machine was mucked up or the way I have set up my hosts.allow file did not allow me to get information. I did not install the nfs server because I only wished to act as a client. Everything is fine now that the nfs server is running on the other computer.

Is it possible for win98 to damage linux ext2 paritions during a re-installation of win98? Thanks Rich -- Assuming the win install hasn't messed with any of your linux partitions, it should come up normally if a little slow. Then run lilo to fix the MBR and you're back to normal. -- Bud Rogers <budr(a)sirinet.net> http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html -- 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/

Chris Reeves <chris.reeves(a)iname.com> said: > First off is the speed of internet connection. Currently we're on a 56k dialup <cringe> yuk! </cringe> If you're in the states, ADSL and Cable are the best options as far as price/performance. Even a dual-channel ISDN (128k) provides mediochre bandwidth and would be pretty expensive compared to cable.

Huappage WinTV PCI capture cards, preferably with a CCD with composite output (~$150 US per-seat). PPA and USB cameras have shady support right now, with USB being the lesser of the two evils (higher bandwidth=better image quality). The kicker with USB devices is the lack of support at the kernel issue. -- 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/

Am using yast to update kde on my 6.2 from ftp.suse.com. All was going well until i got the error message 'error storing record ld_linux.so.2 into //var/lib/rpm/requiredby.rpm'. I haven't been able to update anything since...I keep getting this error. Would someone shed some light for me and tell what it means?

And I got a bash script (for my setup) that will -at least prepare- the nessesarry stuff. All you definately need are backups of some (to modify) files and a lightharted view of doing things to your system. I said that to George in a personal mail: the good thing (about StarOffice) is that you build a tar archive of /opt/Office51 do whatever you like and worst case run "rm -r *" and "tar xfvz foo.tar".
