[SLE] resizing partitions
by typical＠mad.scientist.com 25 May '00

25 May '00

hi all, i'm considering to wipe W95 from my hard disk, which will give me an extra 1GB of disk space. now, i would like to add this space to the partition that has the /usr directory on it, cause it's getting a tad full. however, yast only seems to have the possibility to add new partitions, not to enlarge existing ones. is there any way of doing this without having to reinstall completely? i'm running SuSE 6.2.

Actually, as an HTML clueless person I welcomed this discussion. I especially like how you drove home the fact that "HTML was _designed_ to separate the presentation of content from the content itself". I can now see why WYSIWYG editors are weak at creating fully accessible pages. It seems to me that starting with a template and then using an editor that can pop your tags in is the way to go.

[SLE] FYI: IRC LinuxFormat Magazine
by kevin.jackson＠jhallpr.demon.co.uk 25 May '00

25 May '00

There is a Q+A discussion group on DALnet every Wednesday and Sunday on IRC at: #linuxformat It is at the moment a nearly offical chat room of the UK magazine of the same name. It is a relaxed atmosphere and turnout has been good since it has started. And I'm posting this note, because most people on there have RedHat. And we all know that www.redhatisnotlinux.org! :) And I want a bit of SuSEness in there. Wednesday and Sunday 8pm BST (I think you take off 4 hours for EST!)

[SLE] po-utils on 6.4! :-)
by pinard＠iro.umontreal.ca 25 May '00

25 May '00

Hi, people. Just to share with you my surprise (and I confess: my pleasure!) to discover that SuSE 6.4 ships with my `po-utils'. The surprise comes from the fact I wrote it very recently, and I did not think enough time has elapsed for it to be noticed, even less put on a CD-ROM distribution. Oh, this is not that I think it is premature to distribute it, as I often try to make so my software is stable. It is still a small package, and the paint is still wet :-). This is surely an encouragement for me to populate it better! P.S. - For the curious (so you do not loose time seeking :-), `po-utils' contains `xpot', a translatable message extractors for sources, similar to `xgettext', but able to read Emacs LISP and Python as well. I'll add others as necessary. It also contains my latest PO mode for Emacs. -- 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/

[SLE] Is Linux Ready?
by irisinc＠gci.net 25 May '00

25 May '00

You know, I read all of the posts that were written regarding whether or not Linux was ready for the desktop and ready to compete with Mickeysoft. Guess what? I don't think so yet. Let me give you a for instance. This morning I was looking for a HTML editor that had a few bells and whistles to make the job easier. I went to the TUCOWS site and examined the offerings. For Windoz, there were so many programs offered that it was hard to make a choice. I then proceeded to the Linux section. I immediately got suspicious when there was not presented a clear cut choice. It seems that HTML editing is not straight forward. You are presented with four (4) categories, each category embellished with a photograph of a good looking young man or woman. What those categories or the photos have to do with the software is beyond me. To cut to the quick of this matter, it seems that the only HTML editors for Linux are the same old sorry text editors, i.e., jed, joe, pico and every masochist's dream vi and all of it's incarnations. As much as I despise Mickeysoft for their nasty business practices, their horribly written software and their total lack of support, they are way ahead in the small things that make life easier. I don't want to write HTML in vi. In fact I don't want to ever write anything in vi or TeTex. I enjoy a few creature comforts from time to time and for the time being it seems that Linux does not yet offer enough to compete.
