updating packages
by MaD dUCK 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

hey susers, ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/7.0/ for instance contains a lot of packages which are updated - for instance OpenSSH 2.3.0 which i needed instead of the 2.1.1 version because of DSA authentication using ssh-agent. anyway, my question is why these packages don't show up in yast - why i could not use yast to update OpenSSH? is there a way to make that directory tree be used by yast for the updating of the system? when i entered it into the ftp source update path, it was constantly looking for a ./suse directory in the ftp directory above, which isn't found... any ideas? thx, martin [greetings from the heart of the sun]# echo madduck@!#:1:s@\@@@.net -- "a mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems." -- p. erdos

by Chuck Adams, K7QO 23 Jan '01

Gang, I received the February 2001 issue of LINUX Magazine in the US mail today. On page 11 is a full page for SuSE. In the ad about two-thirds of the way down the page in black print: Version 7.1 debuts in February. So they have annouced a release date. Anyone starting a pool on when it gets to the shelves????

When will 7.1 come out
by Doug McGarrett 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

Please, SuSE, debug the stuff thoroughly first. Then test it yet again. And while you're at it, please make sure that the email daemon does not point my (invisible) headers to YOUR website, so that I cannot communicate with you via Linux. I have just about given up on making that stuff work, and pretty soon I will have to give up on SuSE. Such a simple problem with no solution, over weeks and weeks and months. And I am told I'm not alone. Windows ahead, until a useful 7.1 or 8.0. --doug, wa2say

When does 7.1 Come Out?
by Timothy R. Butler 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

Hi everyone, I was pondering the idea of downloading the SuSE ISO image, and burning myself a 7.0 CD. However, I was thinking, if 7.1 comes out soon, perhaps I'd download that instead. Any idea if it might be out soon? Thanks, Tim ----------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy R. Butler Universal Networks Information Tech.
