Well, I finally got my copy of 7.1 this morning! Yeeeeeehaaaawwwww!
Okay....anyway, I just wanted to give mucho kudos to the folks at SuSE.
You guys have really outdone yourselves this time. My first task with
7.1 was to install it on our new VA Linux 3500 for use as an Oracle
server. I couldn't boot off of the CD but I'm pretty sure that was a
BIOS prob. I stuck the boot floppy in, autoloaded the modules, and it
found everything (Mylex RAID, nic, ncr53c8xx). From there it was a
flawless install! I'm on to getting Oracle installed and configured now.
Great job guys/girls....are there any female hacks working on SuSE? I'm
taking this one home tonight for sure to upgrade my own box!

As we've been playing with Broadcast 2000 on SuSE 7.0 over the weekend,
we discovered we needed to make files over 2Gb in size. We couldn't get
this going.
We'd upgraded to kernel 2.4.2 already, but apparently it also needs a
glibc 2.2 built against kernel 2.4, and that proved beyond us (we ended
up nuking the machine after trying to install a Red Hat glibc2.2.x - not
my idea, but we ended up doing that when glibc2.2.2, the current
release, can't be compiled by gcc 2.95.2 - again the current release and
the one in suse 7.0)
So, any more information on how it can be done and - importantly, as
mine should be arriving imminently - does SuSE 7.1 handle large files
out of the box?

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know where I may find the script used to generate the image
on the SuSE 7.1 boxes? I know that surf is used to generate the images.
Thanks,

Hi Everyone,
I was just reading the Sunday electronic store ads, and BestBuy has SuSE
7.1 listed in their ad. If you haven't purchased 7.1 yet, you might be
interested in this, Pro is priced at just $49 and Personal at $19. Great
deal, huh?

Hi everyone,
The SuSE 7.1 box advertises the fact that XFree86 4.02 has Anti-Aliasing, but I
can't seem to figure out how to get it to work. I copied my collection of TrueType
fonts over, set 'em up, but to my dismay the Renderer doesn't seem to engage and
smooth the fonts. :-( What do I need to do (BTW, all of my TT fonts are in the
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Managed directory that I setup to make KFontInstaller
happy)?
Do I need KDE 2.1 before this will work?
Thanks,
Tim

Hate to be picky but you seem to be approaching the entire issue from the
wrong angle. Giving us error output does in itself not help with debugging
your problems. We need to see your smb.conf and maybe your permissions on
the directories. You haven't even said what you are trying to share if
printer or drives and which way.
I really suggest you read these chapters and follow them step by step.
O'reilly has it all for you listed what you need to do:

I can't get scsi emulation to work in 7.1.
I appended hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi in lilo, i added modprobe ide-scsi
to /etc/rc.d/boot.local, as suggested in the book.
Dmesg:
<(scsi0) <Adaptec AHA-294X Ultra SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 0/13/0
<(scsi0) Narrow Channel, SCSI ID=7, 16/255 SCBs
<(scsi0) Cables present (Int-50 NO, Ext-50 NO)
<(scsi0) Downloading sequencer code... 422 instructions downloaded
<scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.2.1/5.2.0
< <Adaptec AHA-294X Ultra SCSI host adapter>
< Vendor: Model: Scanner Rev: 1.40
< Type: Scanner ANSI SCSI revision: 04
<scsi1 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
So the module is loaded, but cdrecord -scanbus only finds the scanner.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
ps I've been using scsi emulation since suse 6.0, mostly without
problems, so I don't understand why it should not work this time.
Hi everyone,
Well, I went to BestBuy today (for reasons other than to buy SuSE 7.1), but even
though I've complained numerous times about price, and has insisted I was going to
wait for the ISO's - I bought 7.1. As I went in the store I told myself "Self: you
aren't going to buy this, you should be economical, wait a few weeks, and get the
ISO's", then a little later I told myself "Self: you are going to buy the personal
edition, but you do not need the professional edition", needless to say, I walked
out of the store with a shiny new copy of SuSE 7.1 _PROFESSIONAL_ edition. <g>
Anyway, I haven't installed it yet, although I'm hoping to perhaps have time to
try it tonight on my desktop, and on my Inspiron 5000e notebook later this week
when my new PC Card NIC comes in. So far it looks good - I like the new manuals
they look quite good, and I'm anxious to try the DVD install. Hey, and the
stickers and pin are nice too. ;-)

I'm currently using SuSE 6.4 with 2.2.14 kernel and intend to use afio for my
backups. I could upgrade to a newer SuSE if necessary.
Cheers,

Hi everyone,
I have a weird TrueType font problem. When I had SuSE 6.1 installed, I used a
nice TT server called xfsft - everything was happy and good in the world of
TrueType. However, when I went to 6.4, xfstt (notice: this is a different server
than the one I used) seemed to do something odd with the fonts. For instance, if I
take "courier" (the non-TT one), and open up a Konqueror window, text boxes that
use this font are about the same size as those in Windows.
However, when I switch to a TrueType font, the boxes get "taller" enough to
throw off a good looking page's design. What seems to be happening, is that while
the font is only, say 11 pt., the textbox is sized for a 13 or 14 pt. font. Same
seems to be true in any other app I try TT's with. So, I was hopeful that this
would work better in 7.1 with XFree86 4.02 - HOWEVER THE SAME THING HAPPENS. This
is very unfortunate, as it makes it difficult to use TT fonts if I want the pages
to look decent.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tim
