training question
by pheonix1t 31 Aug '02

31 Aug '02

Hello people, Please forgive the question for being a bit off topic, but recently I went to a job interview for a linux admin. position. They required you to be SAIR certified to get hired. They gave you a choice of either paying $3100 for training, then taking the tests. (If you passed the tests, you get reimbursed for the training fees.) Or, you could take the tests on your own. If you pass the tests either way, you are guaranteed the job. Does this sound too good to be true?? And what are good books to get for SAIR testing? I thought LPI was better..... Regards, Oskar

re[2]: [SLE] What NIC do I have?
by Greg Freemyer 31 Aug '02

31 Aug '02

>> Just run /sbin/lsmod and look for NIC module in the output. >> My machine which uses Intel EtherPro reports: >> e100 53664 1 (autoclean) >> Or, even better, grep for eth0 in /etc/modules.conf: >> kastus@kastus3:~> grep eth0 /etc/modules.conf >> alias eth0 e100 >> Regards, -Kastus Thanks, I had tried the lsmod before, but I did not recognize anything as a NIC. Your /etc/modules.conf did the trick. I have 8139too. I still don't know what I have, but there is a 8139too entry in .config for the kernel config, so I should have no trouble compiling in the right driver.

Over the past several hours I have sent 2 emails to this list and have not seen any of them posted. I hope this gets through. I was hoping someone could recommend a good audio/video player.

Anyone know if the Creative Labs Modem Blaster V.92 PCI DI5633 will be recognized by SuSE 8.0? Need to pick up a modem tomorrow and it, unfortunately, has to be a PCI (thus generally a winmodem). Thanks! doc

Ugly fonts under Netscape 7 ! (But not in Netscape 6.23)
by arnaud kubacki 31 Aug '02

31 Aug '02

Hi ! I got a problem with the latest version fo Netscape (Mozilla as well) : The fonts seem to be ugly. That depend of some Websites, but as far as I know I did not have any problem with Netscape 6.23 I ran the fetchtomsttfonts so the font under Star Office is OK, but what can I do with Netscape 7 ? (I tried to put the font in the .Xressources without any result) Any hope would be greatly appreciated ! Arnaud

RE: [SLE] Need advice on USB keyboard problem
by Heaton, Simon 31 Aug '02

31 Aug '02

FWIW: How do you boot? I think you will need the modules for USB keyboard support present on your initial ram disk; I think this configuration would have been part of the original install? (Vague as I have not installed for a while.)But maybe you have rebuilt the kernel with modules already included? Have you checked the documentation which comes with SuSE8.0? I think there is guidence within about use of USB keyboards.

It's all broken down into separate files now..ala > RH. Yes, I enabled the bios. I found much of the info in files in /etc/sysconfig but never did find the equivalent of USB_DRIVERS= as found in old rc.config. Even more importantly, where can one find a doc that gives an overview of the suse USB process? I can see the Hotplug is now an important part of the process but how does it fit in? It may appear that such questions are asked by the lazy but I assure you I have spent many hours pouring over the various files and The info is so discombobulated that after awhile, the brain gets numb. Something like a map or flow chart of the usb process would give many of us some directions and lessen seemingly petty & dumb questions. I would be happy to draw the map but right now I'm to damned dumb to figure out where the chicken and the egg are in relation to one another. Thanks for helping me.
