Hi, I want to install SuSE 6.3 on a number of machines through a network. Can somebody tell me how is this possible. For example, the Linux package is on a Web server and using HTTP, I should be able with a boot dikette to install this Operating System on any machine. Can somebody instruct me how to create this boot diskette?.

[...] The company planned to warn customers as soon as possible with an e-mail bulletin and an advisory published on its corporate Web site. Microsoft urged customers to delete the computer file-called "dvwssr.dll"-containing the offending code. The file is installed on the company's Internet-server software with Frontpage 98 extensions.

I had no idea that pages with layers on were handled by JavaScript. I do now! Hmm, obviously explains the Netscape options... but it doesn't solve my problem... NS still displays my layers wrong!

[SLE] Hosed MBR
by skoper＠mediaone.net 03 May '00

I was doing some work with gimp the other day, when the computer froze. There was nothing to do but press the reset button, and when it came back, the message indicated that the hard drive was no longer available (insert system disk and press enter). Can I get my hd back, or do I need to reformat and re-install? I can boot to the hard disk by using the boot disk that came with SuSE (6.3), so it's sort of usable, but I'd hate to have to clean the disk and re-install. I've updated a lot of packages, and it's the server for my home LAN.

Ignore that Fixed email - got a bit excited. Our intranet site displayed correctly (as best as Netscape can!) and then decided to attack the internet, view a web site with <DIV> tags as layers and - nope. It all looks crap again. What can I do to get Netscape to display things correctly?! I turned on Java and this seemed to half fix things... what about a Java update. And don't ask me why Java is related to <DIV>.

I kid you not - I am not doing anything any different as Root as I am as a normal user. Both root and normal user use KDE. I run netscape from the script /usr/X11R6/bin/Netscape as both users and Root's displays correctly whilst normal user doesn't - THE SAME WEB PAGE! The point is a very strong one - It shouldn't matter whether I run Netscape as root or a normal user: There is a bug somewhere. Maybe I have to set the environment variable: set DISPLAYCORRECTLY=True :) Maybe I'll do all my web page testing on my Linux machine logged in as root! I'll check the envorinment variables - but surely this shouldn't make the browser act differently. I give up.

[SLE] SuSE 6.4
by AndrewB＠abcsystems.com 03 May '00

03 May '00

Hi everyone, Just a quick congratulations to everyone at SuSE for what I believe is the best release yet of SuSE Linux. I have been using SuSE since version 5.2 and can honestly say that this is the first version which I have installed which worked out of the box and detected all my hardware completely. I couldn't use Yast2 in version 6.3 so went back to Yast1 for that release, but Yast2 under 6.4 is excellent. I now believe we are at a point where Linux (especially the SuSE distro) can give Windows a real run for it's money on desktop machines. I don't think of myself as a Linux newbie but this version really did install like a dream, I also think KDE looks better than previous versions. I make my living developing applications for the Windows platform and am used to GUI development tools so can't wait for Borland to release C++ Builder under Linux. When this is made available I can see a lot more developers experimenting with Linux which can only be good for Linux in the long run (I hope :-)) Anyway keep up the excellent work Andy. -- 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/
