Hi, I start to get realy annoyed. Must have missed something. Can't mount (or rather access) the CDROM as user. When I mount as user, it mounts fine, perms are readable to root only. Perms for mount are: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 57980 Mar 11 11:49 mount hdb is (meanwhile.. ;-)) br--r--r-- 2 root disk 3, 64 Mar 11 11:11 /dev/hdb after mounting as user, the mp looks like drwx------ 11 root root 4096 Mar 14 17:15 cdrom this get annoying. Any Ideas??

[SLE] SuSe 6.4 on an old 486 - cd not found!
by mendes＠mgconecta.com.br 25 May '00

25 May '00

Hello I am trying to install SuSE 6.4 on a 486 PC/33 with 20MB (RAM) and 2 HDs: 210 MB and 1.08 GB (Seagate soft to jump the 540 MB limitation). It has a CD (Creative 1220 E) attached to a Sound Blaster Card 16. I run the boot disk and then the modules disk . I tried all the available modules for cdrom (sbpc etc.) and got nothing. The cd is working pretty well on Windows. I run out of ideas. Can you help me? Thanks a lot. Eduardo PS. I have alos tried Mandrake 7.02.486 and COL 2.4. -- 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] FYI: IRC LinuxFormat Magazine

At the moment, it is limited to these times to increase movement in the room (instead of 10 people one day, 5 the next, 1 another)... so the founder decided to host Q+A sessions on there at these times. And being tied in with the UK linux magazine it is biased towards that time. I'll put forwards the idea of having Ops from around the globe so Q+A sessions can go on through the night (or day).

[SLE] nsmail,YaST,qtscape,mice and ISP error :)
by patlo＠linux.ba 25 May '00

1) how can i transfer Netscape mail folder from Windows to nsmail folder under Linux without loosing data? is it possible at all? 2) I have problem with apache (or it is ISP) when i connect with IP 195.222.53.* only the people with same IP mask are not able to access page on my computer, everyone else can. With another IP 195.222.*.* (another ISP), * not* 53 i don't have this problems ... 3) what is message something like "rpm error bla bla BAD MAGIC" when i install (copy) packages with yast ... It happens at install time ...(fresh installation of SuSE 6.3)...I changed CDROM drive and had no problems any more. 4) what is the status of qtscape. Is it developed any more at all? I have an old version with no support for Java i think so i can't use it :( ... 5) i have A4tech 4D+ dual wheel mice with 4 buttons ... I just want at least 25% of it's abilities under Linux :)... Is it possible? There are no oficial drivers on their home page ... I don't know what protocol it uses, what i think i do know is that they did with simple mouse hook under win9x ... Thank you all for this source of information ... The only serios reason for using Wintendo is BORLAND ... The only reason for using Wintendo is because they are so cool game platform :P -- 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] SuSE 6.4 & manpages
by linuxsys＠pinefields.com 25 May '00

25 May '00

Why does something like "man ls" not work? Drilling down through the SuSEhilfe pages is a lot of work when "man" is all I want. If I install non-SuSE packages (e.g., des), those manpages work like a charm but something like "man pppd" is a dead loss.

[SLE] correctly recognizing the RAM
by mircea.andrei＠wanadoo.fr 25 May '00

25 May '00

I acquired a new motherboard and installed it. However, the 2-2-13 kernel I tried on it sees only 64M of RAM instead of the 128 which are present. I can compel it to see the whole memory by using the old method ("append mem=128M" at boot time), but I wonder why it does not see it automagically since the same linux system sees 128M on some other boards I have, without any append. The DFI motherboard is called K6BV3+/66, it's fitted with an AMD K6-2 500 MHz processor. The BIOS is Award and it correctly sees all 128M. There is a jumper on the motherboard for the DRAM clock, with two positions . I tried both positions but did not see any difference. -- 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/

Sorry for the subject. I have found a way of generating plain html on the fly (AFT). Does any one know of a way of using simple (very simple?) embedded tags to generate rtf quickly?
