Anyone know how to get a Zip250 Parallel device working on SuSE71? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot but I can not seem to find any info on it.

/bin/login missing
by Brandon Caudle 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Hey Everyone, Recently, I have been unable to telnet into my machine (Suse 7.2). This is because /bin/login is missing, (I am very suspious about this) So how do I go about replacing it?

What you might want to look at is your hd mans web site. Most mans hd format disk offer an option of coping an existing hd to a different drive. I know that both Maxtor and IBM will do this using DR-DOS. The utilitises are brand specific. IBM will only work if the destination drive is IBM and Maxtor is the same. If you prefer a Linux app you should look at parted. Charles (-: Forever never goes beyond tomorrow.

ext3
by Gary 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Does anyone know if SuSE will be supporting this journeling system as wel as Reiserfs. I have heard that ext3 does not need for you to back up mounts, and basically reformat to get Reiserfs up and running, as ext3 can be added on the fly just by adding into fstab, in otherwords, nothing else has to be done. -- Best regards, Gary

I guess RH is going to own the S/390 business in the U.S. :(
by Ben Rosenberg 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

I was unaware that RH had an S/390 port.. I guess SuSE is still letting politics rule the day as far as countries. SuSE's S/390 port has been proven for over a year..yet these stock exchanges are going to be running RH. This is just sad..doing the work and then politics and branding get you screwed... :/ http://www.idg.net/go.cgi?id=540849 Good for Linux in General, but again the spotlight moves from the truely innovative Linux hackers to the marketing experts. Tis sad. -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org cat CE|ME|NT|XP > /dev/null

Dual Java install
by Chris Herrnberger 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Greetings: New to java, old on suse...:) Was wondering if someone could lend a hand here. SuSE 7.2 comes with compatible java version to run StarOffice, however there is a need to get briefed on the latest java developements. Ive installed Java2 from Sun and it all went rather seemless. The remaining issue is the path settings. Is is possible to run two differing versions of java and if so how do i set the paths. (want to keep staroffic working) Best and thanks Chris

Could it be that the software is expecting a kernel 2.4? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [SLE] SuSE 7.1 and 3ware RAID-Contoller Date: Thu, 30 Aug 2001 12:37:35 +0200 From: Achim Franke <a.franke(a)brox.de> To: "SuSE-E (E-Mail)" <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Hello...

cron and missing file
by Francesco Scaglioni 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Hi, And TIA Am running 7.1 on a laptop. After the machine has been more than a certain time without a reboot (aprox 19-20 days I think) I start getting the following warning mailed to me daily. I usually delete the message and all seems fine. Which (if any) parameter can I reset to prevent this from happenning? find: /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily: No such file or directory Cheers Francesco
