[SLE] UDMA 100 support?
by jamie.oshaughnessy＠oracle.com 02 Aug '00

02 Aug '00

I'm currently thinking about upgrading my system and am currently planning to get a Abit KT7-100 motherboard and AMD processor. This motherboard supports UDMA 100 hard drives, so I was thinking of getting an IBM Deskstar 75GXP 30Gb UDMA 100 disk to go with it. Does SuSE support UDMA 100 at all? If not, does anyone know if it will actually work, although not taking full advantage of UDMA 100 (i.e. only running as UDMA 66 or 33)? Thanks, Jamie -- ___________________________________________________________________________ Jamie O'Shaughnessy e-mail: jamie.oshaughnessy(a)oracle.com Interactive Television Division phone : +44 118 92 45052 ______________________________________________________ __ __ _ __ . __ Opinions are my own and not those of...

Actualy the size limit on swap partitions (on SuSE 6.4) it's to 2GB (2048MB). >On Tue, 1 Aug 2000, kastus wrote: > > > > > > > On Wed, 2 Aug 2000, James Harr wrote: > > > > > 128mb swap limit!? > > > > > > What are you talking about? > > > > SuSE Linux 6.4 Installation/Configuration book, page 62: > > > > Linux can normally only handle 128 MB swap partitions, but can handle > > eight of these. > > > > Ain't SuSE cheating about it? > > > >I believe that limitation was removed long ago but wasn't removed from the >manual. > >Greg > > > > > I use 512meg swap with no trouble, shows up in `free` and all those other > > > commands... > > > > > > c'ya > > > HeX > > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > From: "kastus" <kastus(a)tsoft.com> > > > To: "Des Aubery" <daubery(a)mweb.co.za> > > > Cc: <tillmanj(a)sccoast.net>; "SuSE English" <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> > > > Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2000 11:50 PM > > > Subject: Re: [SLE] A couple of upgrade related questions > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > On Tue, 1 Aug 2000, Des Aubery wrote: > > > > > > > > > Hi Jon, > > > > > > > > > > I initially considered splitting up the files system along > similar lines > > > > > to you, but on second thought opted to use the simple approach as I > > > > > listed (repeat below): > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > 2.

I would never buy a DVD version because what happens if I have to install Linux _quickly_ on a machine without DVD drive? I am fscked. But if I am purchasing the 6 CD set in the past I could never make use of the DVD offer for the few DVD machines out there and install it quicker. Therefore SuSE was smart to bundle the 6 CD set with the DVD one to give people more options on how to install Linux in the best possible way for whatever setup a machine has. mk ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com -- 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/faq
