Hi, SuSE ftpadmin wrote here ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.0/README that the SuSE 9.0 will be avalaible during this weekend. Here, in Europe, the weekend is near to finish. Anybody in SuSE know where it will be on the server and mirrors?. Any change of plans? I wrote a wget script to download it when possible, read the usage and comments http://www.oxixares.com/~gbv/rpms/SuSE_9.0/get_suse90 Guillermo. -- Guillermo Ballester Valor Linux user #117181.

I've tried to unsubscribe for a week now and nothing works. I don't get a response from mail list help either. All this mail is too much. I 'd rather check out the archives when I can. Any suggestions or info about this? thanks.

Ok continuing with this question and in agreement with Stanley's remarks about rude, arrogant and unnecessary CAPITAL letters remarks, I would like to say that if everybody was an expert, there would be little point on keeping a list like this. I you (the screaming one) consider that it is just too unbearable to see somebody that doesn't know or know different about something please, just do not answer back, simple! At the moment Im also using one of these D-link routers "firewalls" which I will like to replace with a two nic linux box exclusively acting as a firewall and perhaps dhcp server. As I don't have lots of money I was thinking on using for this purpose and old pentium II 64MB RAM with 4GB hard disk I have under my bed. Last night I tried to install SuSE 9 but the computer could not handle it. I know I have very little RAM and so on but I wonder if it is possible to install a *really* minimal system for this box (without X obviously and so on) so it can get the firewall-routing-dhcp work done. Thanks for your important opinions, Felipe.

A Big Thanks
by Donald Henson 02 Dec '03

I want to thank all of you on these two lists who helped me get APT running and helped me with problems I was having with K3B and AVI files. I suspect that if I had paid for all this help, I would be somewhere in four figures. I, for one, appreciate you all. Don Henson

SuSE 9 MegaRAID Series 438
by Paul Ketelaar 02 Dec '03

02 Dec '03

SuSE Experts, I am in the process of upgrading a server that features an AMI MegaRAID Ultra2/5 RAID controller. The controller is detected and the module (megraid) loads then the process halts. The ctrl-f4 screen shows that after the module loads the drives do not respond when probed. I have retrofitted the controller f/w to latest revision available. One logical drive is defined by the controller utility. Here is the interesting part, RH9 does exactly the same, however MDK9.2 detects the controller and the whole install process will run. This fact indicates that the way I have the MegaRaid configured is valid. I am not using the I2O mode. I do not want to use either of these distros and wish to persists with SuSE 9.0. Can anybody help me! Regards Paul Ketelaar

4418 times a message because of autostart ? Gkrellm ?
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 02 Dec '03

02 Dec '03

Using KDE on my SuSE 8.2 I always wondered why it took so long to go from the login to the GUI. Just running siga because I wanted to look into some details of my machine I found that Autostart gave following information 4418 times before deciding to find another way to start the program. Invalid entry (missing "=") at /home/cons/.kde/Autostart/gkrellm Can somebody tell me why I get this message? Gkrellm does start with autostart but I would like to shorten the time it takes ;-).
