About the SuSE YaST license ( was: [SLE] linuxiso.org SuSE license problem ?
by Tor Sigurdsson 23 Mar '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ( suse-linux-e list, this is a letter to charlie(a)linuxiso.org, I'm just picking up the glove for SuSE Gmbh. ) Hi, Your page "http://www.linuxiso.org/suse.html" is in error. If you read the license again, you'll see that redstribution of YaST is forbidden only for a payment ( i.e., you CAN distribute it for free ) without the consent of SuSE Gmbh. Also, YaST is not GPL, and thus this restriction is only valid for YaST. This means that if you remove YaST from the SuSE distribution, you can sell it for a million dollars ( if you find someone to pay for it :-) Also, GPL is intended to protect and ensure your accessability to the sources of any program licensed with GPL that you may have aqquired. The implication does not extend to the media it is distributed on, nor to adjacent packages. Free implies "freedom to distribute, and to mutilate for personal useage", not free of charge. Oh... and notice that the personal and professional CD-ROMs as sold by SuSE may(do) contain proprietary programs, not written by SuSE, and in most cases VERY restrictive on distribution, so those CD's are probably not redistributable without breaking at least US law, and probably German law as well. English is a third language for me, so my writing may have something to be desired, but I figure I understand both these licenses well enough :-) - -tosi Disclaimer: I don't work for SuSE, nor do I have any gain from being pro-suse other than being supportive of a distro that I happen to like. My thoughts are my own. I have not sold my soul, and therefore I don't use Windows. ( tents and caves rule ! ;-) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6uq6O6mRH+PEpr2YRAqT1AJ9oLM9b3ewJQuBwPfG/Y3wU3ft9JgCeK1XG H/xtvizQOgYKWhr49LlGCIM= =uzSU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

linuxiso.org SuSE license problem?
by Jorge A. Salido 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

It seems like linuxiso.org has an issue with the interpretation of the YaST License. They removed SuSE from their server(s) and posted a notice in http://www.linuxiso.org/suse.html explaining why. Sounds to me like they are angry because of the time that it has taken suse to put a 7.1 iso image out on the internet, but that is just my not-very-informed opinion... Any comments on this one?

Re: [SLE] 7.1 Won't Install, and Worse

On Mon, 19 Mar 2001, cll muzh said: >Low-level formats should never be necessary, IMHO. A complete format+check >does the same sort of thing. I question whether that's true in all cases. I have a couple of damaged IDE drives from my portables that won't format. If I had a low level format utility I might be able get around the problem. I think surface damage issues are sometimes best handled this way. I also think it depends on the drive design. I'm not sure that all drives are designed to do auto sector re-allocation when they encounter read / write errors. And if it's available, I don't see why I shouldn't use it - it's not black magic. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John Karns jkarns(a)csd.net

This is something they should have made at SuSE I think As you should have seen by now I have solved my problems; but your mail was the one who explained the problem and the solutions best! Thanks!

Web/FTP Server
by pons 22 Mar '01

22 Mar '01

Greetings At work I have Linux Machine 2.2.16 SuSE7.0 Pro. The Linux machine its up and running. I want to setup my Intranet for my LAN user by giving each user the possiblity to authenticate him self (username + password) to get/download his ownfiles (Txt,Xls,Doc, Rtf) via Internet Expolorer from his machine. it means the linux machine should run FTP server as well beside apache. Each user should have his own home directory such as http://X.X.X.X/user1 ... etc. then should a window appear to authenticate him self to download the files. Do you know how could i set up the above? Any input would be really appreciated. -Pons pls send your input to my email. thanks in advance

glibc2.2
by Timothy A. Fritz 22 Mar '01

22 Mar '01

Dear Readers- Which rpm files from Suse's ftp site are required for installing the glibc2.2 libraries? Unfortunately, Suse chooses not to simply label the rmp glibc2.2 so it is difficult to determine which files are needed. Thanks for the help. Tim Fritz -- Timothy A. Fritz /Dept.
