[SLE] Howto set the 2.4 kenel as default bootup ?
by Dennis 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

With the older (7.0 or lower) version, I can set which option to boot in Lilo, but the new 7.1 does not allow me to? Any solution as it's default to the 2.2 kernel and I have to 'down arrow' to pick the 2.4 everytime, and worst, if I missed, I ended up with restart. :( Suggestion? idea on how? Thanks Dennis/sg

KDE2 and root
by Tim Fritz 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

Dear Readers- When I login as root and select kde2 from the pulldown menu of the login window, gnome is launched instead. I can login as a user in kde2 and I can login as root in kde but not kde2. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help. Tim Fritz Timothy A. Fritz Macromolecular Structure Group UCSF Dept Biochem and Biophysics 513 Parnassus Ave San Francisco, CA 94143-0448 tafritz(a)msg.ucsf.edu

OpenInventor(SGI)-SourceCode/VRML-Browser
by Gottfried F. Zojer 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

Hi, Maybe a SGI expert on the list. I read in a german computer-magazine that SGI released the Source-Code of the 3D Developer Kit OpenInventor to the LinuxWorldExpo in SanDiego.. But I cant find anything of this on the Internet.If I search generally webwide I come ever only to TGS-Binaries for Linux(x86) and if I search via SGI there is only a lot of doc and Irix binaries.Any feedback or reference welcomed.

Compiling the Kernel and other applications
by Pascal MiQUET 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

Hi, I wonder, if compiling Kernel and other application, we've got the same environement, I mean location of exec files and so on, like the delivered distribution is made. I've tried several weeks ago to get the Apache stuff on the Official, and the new version compiled fine. But concerning the location, as I didn't change the defaults, le server was not installed into the same directory. Otherwise, how could I get informed of how SuSE compile their software, to get latest rpm ? Or should I always have to get the rpm from SuSe to get rid of this ? Thanks for your reply Pascal MiQUET

System.map
by Jerry Kreps 01 Apr '01

01 Apr '01

I've been recompiling my 2.2.18 kernel several times during the last couple of days in order to get my IDE PleXWriter 8423Ti to burn a CD. That's another story that's is not sucessful yet. However, after each kernel compile I'd copy the bzImage and the System.map to /boot and refire lilo. While searching the logs for msgs about the PleXWriter under ide-scsi emulation I noticed that during booting System.map-2.2.18 was always being loaded despite my copying System.map from /usr/src/linux after each compile. I've noticed that lilo.conf doesn't contain any mention of the system.map. So, how does one tell the kernel which System.map to use, especially if two different kernels create two different System.maps??? JLK
