Adding fonts?
by Tracer Bullet 22 Aug '16

22 Aug '16

Hi all, Reading some mails on the GIMP mail list, I ran across the procedure to install some more fonts for not only Gimp, but the system and StarOffice to use also. Well, I installed the fonts, went to the shell and issued the command xset fp+ <font directory> and then the rehash command and all fonts are there! Ok, that went well, but each time I restart the system, I have to do it all over again? Is there a way to make it permanent and read the new fonts like it does the ones the system installs or is that a no-no? end of line Tracer Shell commands: xset fp+ <new font directory> xset fp rehash -- ---KMail 1.2--- SuSE Linux v7.2--- Registered Linux User #225206 /tracerb(a)sprintmail.com/ *Magic Page Products* *Team Amiga* http://home.sprintmail.com/~tracerb

LILO & triple booting

Before I do research on how to do this, it is possible to do this right, on a 2 drive box, with SUSE 8.0 on 1 drive, Debian and 98se splitting the other? I'm already dual booting fwiw.. Thank you for your time.

Dell 2650/Perc3 Raid Controller easy switch??
by shado＠mc.net 25 Apr '03

25 Apr '03

I am currently using a Dell 2650 Poweredge server without a raid controller. It's using the standard adaptec onboard SCSI as it stands. I'm wondering if anyone has installed the Perc3 raid controller and had the Linux install just pop right up (assuming the megaraid module was loading)? I wouldn't need to reformat if all I was doing was switching controllers and hardware mirroring, right? Thanks, Rich shado(a)mc.net

Last two days I have had the following kernel panic twice. Prior to this I have never had a problem. The first time I had the problem I was running YOU and while retrieving the update list the server crashed. I have also included log snippets pertaining to the problem.

Wireless PCMCIA in a Desktop: Will Linux Recognize it?
by Dennis J.Tuchler 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

I would be thankful for answers to some questions: about wireless cards 1) Re: Wireless Ethernet Cards for Desktops. How does one get Linux to recognize an ethernet card (e.g. a wireless card) that is not on the list of supported cards shown by YAST2? 2) Re: Installing a PCMCIA card onto a Desktop. I understand that one can install a wireless PCMCIA ethernet card in a desktop with the appropriate PCI card. Is there any problem with Linux's recognizing the card under these circumstances? Under Linux 8.0, is there any problem with recognition and use of a wireless PCMCIA? I read the relevant HowTo, but that installed under Debian and I think (guess) an older kernel. Thanks -- dj tuchler dtuchler(a)earthlink.net

**** imagine; all of everything that is or was, can be reduced to an equation less than one inch long ! *** Okay , getting completely and thoroughly discusted w/ verio , we have gone so far as to contact bellSouth .. who , of course , tell us, they "do not support linux" and wont even send us the modem unless we have windows something on the box.. <heavy sigh> I still have a windows partition I can fudge a bit for purposes of this experiment <g> tho husband is seriously worried that w/o support we wont be able to use it .. I can't imagine why, if anyone did support an OS I was currently using , I'd have to see what was further out on the bleeding edge<g> Anyway, any users of Bell South in particular , or DSL generally care to share ? headaches , heartbreaks , willingness to suggest answers to tech support type questions .. ??? Especially if you might be willing to take this off list for private discussions, and electronic handholding and "there , there , type soothing noises for Gil ( that's the spouse <g>) TIA y'all Blonde -- j afterthought : DOS tip #17: add DEVICE=FNGRCROS.SYS to CONFIG.SYS.

kde updates
by geek＠PageZero.com 15 Jun '02

15 Jun '02

I suspect that i am merely stupid and that this is the reason i cannot figure out how to do an online update to the latest KDE release. It is my assumption that i need to provide a directory string at ftp.suse.com, but can't for the life of me figurre out what it is. Although i can find the files, yast2 can't, and i never seem to be able to download the right files in the right order to just run the rpm's myself. For the sake of my crumbling self-esteem, can someone please help me. bc
