Running Kppp at startup without confirmation
by Dan The Man 20 Mar '01

20 Mar '01

I would like to be able to start my internet connection utility (Kppp) automatically either as I log on as a normal user, or at boot up. With the help of this list, I have discovered that if I put a shortcut in my Autostart directory, that shortcut will be run as I log in. That's fine, but it would be nice if Kppp would run without confirmation, ie without my having to click connect. Perhaps the are command line arguments to Kppp which will accomplish this. Does anyone know.

Linux correlate of Windows' Ctrl-Alt-Del
by Dan The Man 20 Mar '01

20 Mar '01

Sometimes Linux appears to come unstuck. In windows, I used to use Ctrl-Alt-Del to try to expunge offending applications. I know there must be a linux correlate of this for similar emergencies. Perhaps there are several. Can anyone enlighten me. I know about the Process Management tool, but what if nothing responds to a mouse click. What should I try before hitting the restart button. I have SuSE 7.1 Thank you. -- Dan

7.1 Install fails with "An installation occurred during installation"
by Charles Marcus 20 Mar '01

20 Mar '01

I am very much a Linux newbie (Win/NT guy, and Mac guy from way back), and am having the time of my life, but ... I have some high-paid consultants coming to my office tomorrow, and I was supposed to have SuSE ready to go - I didn't think it was gonna be this much of a problem, or I'd have started on it yesterday... Anyway, Redhat 7.0 installs fine (I've installed it 3 times now), so I know it's not the hardware. Here's what it does, every time: It boots, then YaST2 initializes, checks the system, prompts me for My language/country, then throws up a black screen with the words at the very top 'Looking for a Braille display".... Then gives me the generic "An error occurred during installation" Help! -------------- Charles Marcus I.T. Director Media Brokers International CharlesM(a)Media-Brokers.com

how to use /usr/share/doc/rfc?
by Steven T. Hatton 20 Mar '01

20 Mar '01

Is there a convenient way to make use of the RFCs which are installed on a SuSE system from the distribution? They are all zipped and when I try to view them I end up having to unzip them. I suppose I could do something with Apache to automatically unzip them when I view them, but this seems like a kludge. It would also be nice to have an index and search capability for these. TIA, Steve
