Logitech USB Joystick
by P.T. (nevada) 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

I am looking at the Logitech Extreme 3D joystick for the USB port. Is there any issues with this joystick that I should be aware of? If anyone is using this joystick, is there any problems with setting it up on a USB Port? Have you been happy with its performance? Tks, Paul T. -- Linux the OS of now and the future.

Setting up for an Installfest ?
by W.D.McKinney 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

I am setting up a server for our next installfest and have been asked to support SuSE installs. Is copying the ftp site to the HD the best way ? I assume copying CD's/DVD's would be violating SuSE's distro so what is the best approach ? NFS and FTP will be available on the server. thanks /Dee -- W.D.McKinney (Dee) http://3519098920

Found a Modem Solution
by Colburn 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

I returned the PCI (winmodem) and purchased one of the only two (of a dozen) modems at Best Buy that were not winmodems. I chose the Zoom Model 3049 External modem. It works! Thanks to those who encouraged me as I sought a modem that will work with Linux/SuSE 8.0. doc

Re: [SLE] SuSE 8.0 ftp & telnet problem
by S. Lahiri 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

I had the same problem when going from 7.2 to 8.0. In 7.2, ftp and telnet services were installed by default but in 8.0 they aren't. So, I had to manually install telnet server and ftp daemon and then turn those services on from the Yast2 inetd service startup screen. HTH..

Trying to build ical-2.2 for Suse 8.0
by Jim Cunning 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

I like to use ical, and haven't found any of the alternatives very useful for my purposes, so I'm not looking for suggestions of things to try in its place. With earlier SuSE versions I was able to get a source RPM from rpmfind.net and rebuild the package for my installation. The last time I did this was with ical-2.2-8.src.rpm. This rpm now chokes because the current versions for tcl and tk are 8.3. The source rpm ical-2.2-26.src.rpm, for RedHat 7.3, get further but then has some problem because of autoconf and configure: rpm -bb ical.spec produces: configure: warning: CFLAGS=-O2 -march=i486 -mcpu=i686: invalid host type configure: error: can only configure for one host and one target at a time configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for types sed: can't read confdefs.h: No such file or directory Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.5033 (%build) rpm -bb --target 686 ical.spec produces: configure: warning: CFLAGS=-O2: invalid host type configure: error: can only configure for one host and one target at a time configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for types sed: can't read confdefs.h: No such file or directory Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.15820 (%build) I was able to install and run the prebuilt rpm by using "--nodeps" and sym linking /usr/lib/libtk8.3.so to /usr/lib/libtk.so.0, and /usr/lib/libtcl8.3.so to /usr/lib/libtcl.so.0. I would like to be able to build the rpm, and avoid the symlinks. I understand bash scripts, perl and sed, but have no experience with autoconf and configure scripts, nor the rpm script building and updating process. Can anyone help here? Thanks, Jim Cunning

Hi! I have Suse 8.0 Pro. I use KMail as my email program. The mail and folders are in my home directory in the Mail directory. Is it possible to access all my emails in the folders from anywhere? Can I install a web mail program that can make it possible? If yes, which one? Thanks

Hello people, I'm about to replace sendmail with qmail on my box. I intend to use the packages from SuSE to do so. Are there any special considerations I should have in mind before I go ahead? Regards, Carlos Monti.
