Well, you could mirror the SuSE ftp site to a removable drive, and move it from computer to computer that way ;-) On Tuesday, January 1, 2002, at 11:00 PM, SirDuron wrote: > i understand your point but i have a stand alone computer that i > use that > never sees the internet and i constantly swap hda's > >> As far as I know, SuSE does not offer a normal instalation iso.

Hi all - new user
by Isen Kusima 02 Jan '02

Hi all, This is my first post to this list that were sent with KMail. I used SuSE 7.1 before, and can't sent e-mail to this list, and only once sent it through web-mail. I want to introduce my self to this list. My first experience with Linux is Red Hat Linux 6.2. At that time I bought a Red Hat Tip Server books by George M. Doss. I install it (on the same HD/computer) more than 6 times, trying every combination. I use it for about 1 week full time (not dual boot), and change back to BeOS. After that, my second try with Linux is SuSE 7.1. I don't remember when it is, but I believe it's around march 2001. I bought it because my favorite OS is dead. I install it, and played with it for 1 week without dual boot, then decide to let SuSE in my HD. Since then, I use BeOS 75%, SuSE 25%. And the percentage move toward SuSE. In October, after getting more used to SuSE, I finnally dump BeOS, and using SuSE 100%. I joined several SuSE & KDE mailing list, but can't send any e-mail to the list. I want to upgrade to new KMail to be able to comunicate with fellow Linux user, but I already order the SuSE 7.3, and don't want to strugle with 7.1. Anyway, I just installed my 7.3 last year. well, 2001 is last year ;). and I'm VERY HAPPY with it. It's great. The improvement over 7.1 is fantastic. I think if I can compare it to MS windows, the improvement of 7.1 to 7.3 is like win95 to win98. The different is SuSE did it in less than 3 years ;). Good Job. And you guys deserve my money. bellow is my journey before I land in SuSE. ------------------- My first OS is DOS 2.0. I don't really care about OS at that time, and just use it. After Windows 3.x come out, I bought a 486DX2-66 pre-loaded with it. That's the time I'm more aware of OS. I read PC Magazine & Byte and decide to buy OS/2 Warp 4 in early 1995. I use it until october, then bought new computer pre-loaded with Windows 95. I dual boot the windows & OS/2. Although I like OS/2 more than Windows95, I can't find enough resource to make me using it more and more. And that time it's also the time that I play a lot of computer games. So I ditch OS/2. In 1998 I saw an article about dual celeron project that lead me to BeOS. I bought BeOS & love it.... and ditch Windows. Unfortunately, Be Incorporated went bankrupt & can't support BeOS anymore. So, I must find replacement OS, because If I want to upgrade (say to Pentium4) in the future or using new hardware, I can't use BeOS anymore. Since it's not supported & no driver for it. So, here I am. Although I still miss several BeOS feature such as the fast & responsive GUI, I think Linux is very great. It's improvement rate is very fast. Anyway, I am a proud user of SuSE 7.3 Proffesional. Best,

klpq printer que (KDE Print Que)
by Harry G 02 Jan '02

02 Jan '02

I am unable to delete print jobs from the que using KDE's printer management program, known as klpq. I select the job, hit REMOVE, and answer YES to deleting the selected job. It doesn't delete it. What happens is sometimes I use a HP Laserjet 6L printer, but ususally a Epson Stylus Color 900. (I switch cables. Only one parrallel port on my box). I set the one one I want so I can print from Netscape (only browser except for IE that works properly on my bank site) since Netscape only prints to the default printer. Unfortunately, I forget to change the default, and it tries to print to the wrong printer, and then I can't delete from the que, and have to reset the HP about 20 times to purge it. Any suggestions?

Gaming support
by David Johanson 01 Jan '02

01 Jan '02

I just got off the phone with a friend whom I have been trying to convert to Linux for over a year now, but one who steadfastly clings to winderz for its gaming support. For whatever reason he lent one of his "friends" his win2000 server who was going to "tweak" it a bit; he got it back yesterday with win2000 replaced by the latest release of Mandrake. Well, he said, I might as well leave it a Linux box if I can just get two pieces of software. So here is my chance to convert him, except that as I DON'T do any gaming, I haven't a clue as to what to tell him. Here is what he is looking for: 1) a game server program to host internet or shared games - like fsgs on on winderz and 2) voice over IP server or hosting software for playing games - like battlecom in winderz. Can someone help me convert my friend? tnx, dave
