Hi everyone. Is it possible to mount the client windows98 clients on the 7.2 server so that we can put stuff there from the server without having to load it on each machine? Thanks, Steve.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/vmlinuz.suse kernel images and their respective lilo entries? Just curious . . . -- Nick Webb http://www.uidaho.edu/~nickw/

VM vacuum
by Ben Rosenberg 01 Nov '01

01 Nov '01

Well, I'm not usually so worried about VM but I got to work this moring at 10:15am and with in an hour of logging into my workstation swap usage went from 2M after starting KDE2 to 26M..this isn't right. It never uses this much with 2.4.4 or 2.4.7. I guess I should backdown.. but it's weird that no one else is seeing this behavior. Any thoughts? -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- "Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal" -AE

[OT] dedicating a runlevel for a single app
by Mark Hounschell 01 Nov '01

01 Nov '01

I want to dedicate a run-level to a single task such that when I boot, at the lilo prompt, I enter that runlevel number, lets say "4", and the machine will not ask for a login but only run this app. When I exit the app it will reboot. I cannot have a login prompt, just this non-graphical app running. I see that Suse has filrewall stuff setup for level-4. I can get rid of that I know. My major problem seems to be the login prompt. How do I get rid of it for only the run-level I want to use for this app? And if I find a way to do it how can I still interactivly interact with the app??? Thanks in advance -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh(a)cfl.rr.com

7.3 Install.
by Fred A. Miller 01 Nov '01

01 Nov '01

Ok, boys and ghouls. :) 'Just did a 7.3 upgrade on this Dell 1G P-III workstation, with TNT Riva chipset, etc. It went VERY smoothly, and so far, I find only 1 problem, which I'm NOT happy about. On bootup I find that the new kernel won't support ipchains!! Out firewall on the "old" box is done with ipchains, and I really DON'T want to have to mess with all that again!

Suse Kernel Patching
by kranked＠canada.com 31 Oct '01

31 Oct '01

Hi all, I'm trying to update to the newest mantel kernel from my 2.4.12 kernel via the patches-2.4.13-5.tar.bz2 file. I read the kernel how-to on pathing but I didn't get very far with it. I tried issuing the command 'bzcat patches-2.4.13-5.tar.bz2 | patch -p1' from within the /usr/src/linux-2.4.12-SuSE directory, but up came a bunch of stuff about already exsisting files etc etc...and Reapplied etc. I wasn't sure at this point what to do so I thought I'd ask b4 I really fux0red something up. Any help on patching would be appreciated. Thanx Mark Doucette __________________________________________________________ Get your FREE personalized e-mail at http://www.canada.com

> to even run X programs, by a shell script in boot.local. > Like > startx > my app > shutdown -r NO. THAT WILL NOT WORK. boot.local is common to ALL run- levels. Put that in your boot.local file, and your machine will just keep on rebooting!! --Thomas Adam
