Ok ; I had help setting up the eth0 and eth1 on the machine I am using now.Eth0 gets an IP via DHCP, but I assigned 192.168.0.1 to ETH1 and it shows as being active.NOw on the Pentium I can not manage to get an ethernet card detected.I am going through all the steps in yast and still nothing.I have no idea how to install the drivers for the card (as I had help with my first machine).I try to run "/etc/rc.config" and I get the message "permission denied"Whats the deal?And if I do manage to get it up and running will the addr 192.168.0.2 work?Any help would be appreciated!!!!Thanks.

Netscape
by Erik Jakobsen 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

Hi. I use the SuSE linux 7.2. I cannot get mails from Netscape. Its set to 'movemail'. I can see in the preferenes, that the folder for Netscape's mails are /home/erik/nsmail, but this folder always are empty. Well I have had it to work, but due to some puzzling here it don't work now. I have by a failure tje MAIL=/var/mail/erik, but have made an export from the user prompt: export MAIL=/var/spool/mail/erik My idea is that from: /var/spool/mqueue/ the mails that arrives here should be transferred to: /var/spool/mail/erik And from here to: /home/erik/nsmail Does that sounds reliable ??. If so how can I get it to be so ?. Hope you out there in the bush can help me. -- Med venlig hilsen - Best regards.

Suse 7.2 - Passwords
by Jean-Pierre Vanderwaeren 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

Maybe someone can help me with the following (little) problem: How can I convince Suse 7.2 to allow me to create users with passwords with less than 5 letters. This was no problem at all under 7.1 and in Yast2 (security) you can change the minimum length of the passwords, but the is has no effect at all. Thanks. Bye, Jean-Pierre Vanderwaeren (jpv(a)easynet.be)

Installation hangs
by Helgi Örn 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

Hello all! I'm trying to install 7.2 on this old box at work and the whole thing hangs, first it hung a couple of times when: Looking for a braille display... Then it got tired of that and now it has hung several times when: >>>SuSE installation program...etc is supposed to start. The cdrom is connected as master on the 2nd IDE controller so I use the parameters: ide1=noautotune,hdc=cdrom and it finds the drive without problems, I also choose text mode. The box: 6GB IDE harddisk, 2GB SCSI harddisk, GoldStar cdrom, 64 RAM, GenuineIntel Pentium (200Mhz?) Any hints on what the problem could be?? Cheers, Helgi Örn

Graphics Chipset not found
by Jonathan Drews 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

Hi: I have updated XFree86 to 4.1.0 and installed the kernel patches for DRI, following the instructions in the README, in an attempt to get my ATI Radeon card to use hardware 3D. SaX2 does indeed recognize it as a 3D card and configures it for 3D. However when I run 3Ddiag, I still get: ============================== No 3D capable graphic chipset found! ============================== If I invoke /usr/X11R6/bin/switch2xf86_glx I get about 800 fps, running gears. Without this command, I would only get about 140 fps. My question: Is there any way to identify the chipset so that SaX2 can use it. lspci gives: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5144 -- Cheers, Jonathan
