Netscape 6 - which README?
by Fergus Wilde 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

This is the only mention of SuSE in the README I got: it appears to be telling us it should work - what README did you get? "Netscape 6 is certified and fully supported on Red Hat Linux, but will run on other Linux distributions, such as Debian 2.1 (or later) or SuSE 6.2 (or later)" On Tuesday 23 January 2001 13:31, you wrote: > > How about reading the read-me....: > this program doesn't work with suse 6.4 (or later)...yeah I now it's > annoying ;.( > > Pit A.

I can not access certain folders.
by JR 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

Hello. I am having trouble with the X Server and so I was planing to do a complete re-install, this was not the only reason for me to do it. I am using the command line at this time and I am having trouble accessing a couple of folders that I names when using KDE. One of the folders is named "old mail" , without the "'s. When I try to access that folder I get the error message of "can not find folder old". Is there a way I can access or rename this folder to copy the information located within it? Thank you in advance. James Ruhsam

Hello, the " " (space character) is a special character for UNIX, so you must escape it with a \ (back-slash), like this: mv old\ mail old_mail HTH, Martin -----Original Message----- From: JR [mailto:jruhsam@pcisys.net] Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2001 2:12 PM To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: [SLE] I can not access certain folders.

boot.b
by S. Smith 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

I am doing a new installation of SuSE 6.4 on an older p133 machine. The problem is that when running LILO, I am getting an error /boot/boot.b does not exist, and it will not run. I have tried re-installing the kernel from YAST to /boot, but still doesn't create boot.b. I have tried to look up man boot.b but there are no entries. How do I get this file created, or how do I run LILO differently? I have also tried installing lilo onto a floppy as well as the MBR of the hard drive and get no success. -Stephen .-'~~~-. .'o oOOOo`. "I am ... a mushroom :~~~-.oOo o`.

Re: [SLE] ghost 2001 an linux
by Jack Malone 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

I'm fixing to upgrade my linux box hd to a bigger one, going from a 6.4 gig to a 10 gig drive.I noticed that ghost wanted to exspand the partitions that i had setup when it copied the old drive to new one. I'm wondering if this will work an how safe will it be. Any thing that I should lookout for when i try to boot off of the new drive. Is there a better way to do this in linux. jack Jack Malone jack(a)malone.tyler.com http://www.ballistic.com/~jemalone Luke 4:18-19 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.

by Silvia Nieto Santos 23 Jan '01

Hello, I'd like to know how can I get with sendmail that my server only send e-mails to my local domain? For example, if my domain is domain.com, when an user try to send to user(a)otherdomain.com, an error appears to notice him that he can't send to this recipient. Thank you very much

FW: [SLE] Bootup panic!
by EagleIce 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

Thank you for your efforts Chris and Dan. The problem is solved and the failure was most peculiar: My harddisk looks like this (at the moment...:-): Win98 2,7GB /hda1 /boot (Debian) 40MB /hda3 /boot (SuSE) 40MB /hda4 / SuSE 6,5GB /hda5 swap both 133,3MB /hda6 swap both 133,3MB /hda7 / (Debian) 3,5GB /hda8 When I took a look at SuSE's /etc/fstab file from inside Debian I noticed that the swap partition /hda6 was labelled /hda5 (!) same as the / partition which is totally nuts (at that moment swap /hda7 wasn't registered either in SuSE). Cheers, ei

FDISK problem in SuSE 7.0
by Bernard Peek 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

I recently tried to install SuSE 7 on a new machine (AMD Athlon 900 on an Abit KT7). Although the install appeared to work I got an error message at the end, RPM reported an error. I tracked it down to an error in fdisk, a segmentation fault. Fdisk either failed to create the partitions or created corrupt partitions. It seems that the install script through YAST2 didn't detect that there was no filesystem on the destination drive, and spent 8 hours copying the contents of the DVD to /dev/nul. When I re-ran the install I noticed that formatting the 13Gb disk appeared to take a few seconds. I found out about the seg fault when I ran fdisk from the rescue system. It wouldn't even display the partition information. That means that I couldn't even install SuSE after formatting the disk using another release of Linux. I tested it with Redhat 6.2 which formatted the disks correctly and installed cleanly. Any suggestions, other than waiting for a SuSE 7.1 DVD that is. -- Bernard Peek Not necessarily speaking for: POSTer Audience Research -- POSTAR Ltd. 27 Sale Place, London, W2 1YR.

SuSE 7.0 Pro , knfsd and no_subtree_check
by Peter Onion 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

Folks, Since moving from 6.3 to 7.0 Pro and moving to the kernel nfs server in 2.2.18 I've had the following problems. Machine B has /, /opt, /usr and /home ext2 filesystems mounted. >From machine A I used to able to "mount -t nfs B:/ /B" to make the whole of B's filestore visable on A. However now the /opt /usr and /home directories appear empty when viewed from A. I think the "no_subtree_check" option has something to do with this problem, but the version of mount in 7.0 complains that "no_subtree_mount" is an "Unknown keyword".
