Re: [SLE] self make 7.1 ISO possible?

Yes, 2 ways: 1. download bunch of stuff from ftp and burn it into CD. (I haven't done this but others have) 2. use floppy image to create boot CD.

override mem check
by Purple Shirt 08 Apr '01

08 Apr '01

Hello, ok I just wasted more than 4 hours (long story) because SuSE since 6.4 puts this insanely stupid memory check into yast before being allowed to ftp install. Is there any way to override this. I am trying to do an ftp install on a machine with 64 ram from an ftp server just friggin 3 feet away. This memory check SuSE implemented a while ago must be the most useless feature ever. Like I as a user can't decide for myself how much memory is good enough for me to try an ftp install. A cautionary message would be nice but simply preventing an install is such fucking disservice. *ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH* mk _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Re: [SLE] Yast1: changing the default FTP update location
by Purple Shirt 08 Apr '01

08 Apr '01

I complained about this before too. They should create a list of mirrors and allow us to switch to one of our choice. But SuSE is still so CD centric. Check out this file: /var/lib/YaST/update.inf at the end it has reference to default ftp server. mk >From: Paul Abrahams <abrahams(a)acm.org> >To: SuSE listserve <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> >Subject: [SLE] Yast1: changing the default FTP update location >Date: Sun, 08 Apr 2001 11:27:45 -0400 > >Under "Install Packages", Yast1 has a facility for updating >via FTP.

Does KDE2 for SuSE 6.3 need libmng.rpm?
by Richard Booth 08 Apr '01

08 Apr '01

Hi I am using SuSE 6.3 and I am trying to update to KDE2 from SuSE's ftp server. I have noticed that the updates for other SuSE versions has libmng.rpm under the /gra1 directory. Yet the updates for SuSE 6.3 only has liblcms.rpm. Does SuSE 6.3 need libmng.rpm for KDE2 to work? I thought libmng.rpm was one of the essential packages? Has anyone update to KDE2 using SuSE 6.3? Thanks Rich -- Powered by SuSE Linux Richie Rich

Yast1: changing the default FTP update location
by Paul Abrahams 08 Apr '01

08 Apr '01

Under "Install Packages", Yast1 has a facility for updating via FTP. When you bring it up, you get the location of the update directory (for 7.1) at the SUSE website. Trouble is, it's often overloaded so the attempt dies, and you have to back out and in again. You can specify a different location, but it's a pain. I'd like to change that default location to download.sourceforge.net, which SuSE officially recommends as a mirror and is much more available (also faster). I've been searching all around my system for references to ftp.suse.com (using "grep -r") but still haven't found the one that makes a difference. How can I change that default location? Changing the "installation source" is irrelevant here; the installation source is unrelated to the update source (a subtle point not made clear by SuSE documentation). I asked about this once before but didn't get an answer that worked, so I'm trying again. Paul Abrahams

Re: [SLE] 2 different gateway's ?? Sorry, Correction!
by Marcel Broekman 08 Apr '01

Sorry Sjoerd, i have to correct myself: 1. disable IP-Forwarding 2. set your default gateway to 213.14.68.129 3. edit /etc/route.conf and add these lines: 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth0 10.0.0.0 10.0.0.100 255.255.255.0 the following entries should allready be there (check this!): 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 lo 213.14.68.135 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.128 eth1 default 213.14.68.129 mazzel, Marcel Get your Free E-mail at http://thepenguin.zzn.com ____________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE Web and POP E-mail Service in 14 languages at http://www.zzn.com.

Re: [SLE] Fwd: how to setup DSL w/dhcp for Pacbell
by Paul C.Leopardi 08 Apr '01

08 Apr '01

On DSL: See my reply to a similar previous question, where I describe how I set up KInternet, pppox and pppoed: http://lists.suse.com/archives/suse-linux-e/2001-Apr/0796.html Also, to get my Ethernet card to talk to my Alcatel Speed Touch ADSL box, I had to give the Ethernet card eth0 a "private" IP address. In /etc/rc.config I have: IFCONFIG_0="10.10.0.1 broadcast 10.10.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" I did not set this up manually - I used YaST2 to do it for me. On Modem+Sound. I have almost the same modem card - in a drawer in my desk. I ripped it out and bought a Banksia Wave SP56 external modem. Many PCI modems do not have Linux drivers. My card did not have a driver at the time I ripped it out. In summary, no PCI modem card with a Rockwell HCF chip set is known to work as a modem using a Linux driver. For details, see http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html and http://www.linmodems.org I do not know if your PCI card can still work as just a sound card. I don't have a separate sound card in my PC. The sound is provided by ES1373 comaptible chips on my motherboard. I hope some of this helps. Best regards

I enabled ipforwarding, but still no access to 2nd NIC. That is why I guessed I should give the 2nd NIC another gateway, which is 213.14.68.129 (because a machine in DMZ with this gateway works fine). In Windows 2000 with 2 NIC's, I'm able to give each NIC it's own gateway, which works fine.
