Why don't you contact the developer? If it really is broken in 2.x and higher, I'm sure he'd like to get it fixed. ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com Central Texas IT http://www.centraltexasit.com

This solution means: if A does not read mails, he therefore does not help B. A does not read fast enough to keep up with all the mails If B does not read mails, he therefore does not help A. A,and B, read the archives for help they could help each other easier by not having to filter through hundreds of emails Increasing n and using combinatorial analysis, we would conclude that nobody helps -- it defeats the purpose of this list: to help. Besides, the number of repeated questions would increase exponentially, I bet. Let's stay away from ms bs. mikey-mikes - not me : \ OK then lets do like suse has already, but add more functionality - using headers add some headers in the help-list request , that will let us manage our subscription . There are now only 4 headers available for use, 2 follow - To get an index with subject and author for messages 123-456 , mail: <suse-linux-e-index.123_456(a)suse.com> To receive all messages with the same subject as message 12345,send an empty message to: <suse-linux-e-thread.12345(a)suse.com> I agree that any solution tried, should be beneficial to the list and its purpose . Some things need trying before they are found to be of any use .

Modem connection speed
by Mark Annandale 04 Apr '01

04 Apr '01

Hello All Is there anyway to improve the modem speed under 7.1. I hope its not my imagination but downloads are a heap quicker under 'doze than with my Linux box. This is particularly noticeable when downloading mail. Thanks and regards -- Mark Annandale SuSE 7.1 / 2.2.18 Kmail 1.1.19

Hi - Microsoft had some mail-lists, for html,java,vbasic, etc - , and they had the feature, NO_MAIL - for a command that you could send to configure your subscription to not deliver the mails . If someone replys to your posted mails to the list, it gets posted on the archives so members/you can read them there. This would be so simple to impliment here for the suse-linux-e .

Hi - Am I glad you brought this point up . I've been checking the suse-linux-e since I bought 5.0, '97 was it? anyway , I used to be on a microsoft list for html - they had the feature, NO_MAIL as a command you could use to configure your subscription to get no mails. Since you are subscribed you could post , and read the archives. If someone replys to your post, it gets posted on the list archives - you could also tell people on the list, to cc you if you wanted to keep some replys to your posts. T he suse-linux-e , is a high volume list , users could benefit greatly by implimenting this or similiar - simple concept - . Yes, You are right '' This list is too busy any improvements on the horizon '' Good that you brought it up.

Configuration file for Yast1
by Paul Abrahams 04 Apr '01

04 Apr '01

Does anyone know of a configuration file for Yast1 where the default FTP address for retrieving packages for installation is stored? The built-in address is at SuSE, but I often get bumped off because the server is too busy, and to retry I have to go through the whole selection procedure again. I'd like to set the default to download.sourceforge.net, which is the official principal US mirror. Paul Abrahams

Is it possible to get a colorized dir(ls) output to a KDE terminal, like in the main console? If so would someone point me to the docs. Thanks ahead.
