How to append text at the beginnig of a file?
by Martin Mielke 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

Dear all, how can I append a text header to a plain-text file (source code) without deleting what's been already there? I guess, the clue resides on 'man sed' but some examples will be much appreciated. Thanks, Martin

SCO FoxBase binaries compatibility?
by Manuel Martínez Valls 26 Jan '01

26 Jan '01

Hi, I'd like to change an old SCO UNIX 3.2 server by a GNU/Linux one. This server is running a FoxBase Application, but I haven't got the sources. I was thinking on running the FoxBase SCO binaries on Linux using iBCS, but at this moment I have not been able to make it work. Time ago I ran a SCO program succesfully using iBCS, I remember it was easy, just install de ibcs2 rpm and run the application. I've been searching on the web and I've found that some people recommend using the DOS version (with DOSEMU) for performance but I've read about some people that has use the SCO FoxBase with Linux, as long as I don't have the sources I think the only way I can use this program on Linux is using iBCS. Any idea? Thanks in advance, Manuel Martínez Valls

Re: [SLE] Nvidia GTS and Xfree86 4.02 problems

I suppose you are referring to an Nvidia GeForce 2 GTS card, am I right? If so, I'd recommend you download the updated X from the suse ftp server, it also contains the nvidia updates necessary to make the card work (also includes an updated SaX2, which actually detects the chipset. Hope that works. At 01:37 PM 1/25/2001 -0800, matthew wrote: >Good day, > > Having major problems getting this one to work.

I have used iCBS2 successfully on SuSE 7.0. Just install the rpm and load the module. Some progs need SCO specific libraries, so access to a SCO system that can run your application is advisable. I have had one minor problem with iCBS - a data server we use (Sculptor kfserver) would not spawn multiple processes under iBCS. Don't know why!

Hi folks There I was, with no problems after upgrading to 2.4.0 when I started to have problems with PPP. If I look at /var/log/messages there's a line referring to : cannot load plugin /usr/lib/password... with an invalid hook regarding CHAP. Anyone else seen this ? Regards Jon

SuSE 7.1 announced by SuSE Germany
by Marc Mutsaers 25 Jan '01

from http://www.suse.de/en/ : "SuSE Linux 7.1 After two years of development, Linus Torvalds has released the new kernel 2.4! SuSE Linux 7.1 immediately brings you all of the advantages of this long-awaited kernel. Shipping date: February 12th" Funny, the german version is released 2 days earlier. Too bad they only photoshopped (Gimped?) the box. Would have loved a bigger cameleon! Marc

Did `whereis syslog' and it says...... /etc/syslog.conf /usr/include/syslog.h Do I need to put something into syslog.conf ? In /var/log/messages I can see the normal crontab messages which scroll down the screen all day. Everything is okay there. Thanks -- Richard
