CUPS problem
by Olle Viksten 09 May '01

09 May '01

After a lot of problems with printing I followed the advice in a posting a few days ago and installed CUPS It seems to be working fine. I can acess it from a browser and configure the printer and print test pages. But when I try to print using lp or lpr I get the message: error - no default destination available. So my question is: how do i get my system to use the CUPS that seems to be working OK? Olle Viksten

Hello, Thank you, but I know these options. I wonder if the people at SuSE do some other things for optimization?

Hi All, well, not @ all bad as far as a browser goes.... More stable than the Mozie beta series or Netscape 4.xx. So, I think I will use it! Is there an easy way to import the Netscape address book? *BFN* Greek Geek :-) I'm just working here till a good fast-food job opens up.

Is this security check a SuSE version of Tripwire?

SuSE 7.1 updating questions
by Vetter, Gary H. 09 May '01

09 May '01

Just started converting from Turbolinux to SuSE. While Turbolinux had problems, it did have an easy-to-use package update program which read all the package versions installed on your system (kernel, networking, etc.), compared them with the newest versions on the ftp site, and gave you option to update individual packages or all packages. It looks as though Yast should do the same thing by selecting ftp as the source, but I'm not seeing it. Is there a quick way to update all or selected packages from the SuSE ftp site? What's the system to the directory names on the ftp site - "kernel" and some others seem obvious, but what about "a1", "ap1", "d2", "d3", etc? Anything to RTFM on this? FWIW, I'm using text interface (server installation). Gary Vetter ND Retirement and Investment Office

Yesterday I wrote: >Does anyone know of a SuSE-capable mkbootdisk? This RedHat utility >sounds like a really, really big help for those of us who for one >reason or another must make a boot disk. How embarassing... The RedHat utility is just a nice shell script, easy enough to hack as necessary for the SuSE environment. FWIW. Jim

Illogical. There is something we are missing here. I am @ my wits end.
