Does anyone on this list have a Canon S40 or S45 camera? Interested in knowing whether it will act as a USB mass-storage device... Thanks. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

Where is Windoze?
by Doug Weeks 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

Again, I'm a newbie on SuSe....I have a dual boot with about 10gigs alocated to windows 98. With Mandrake I could mount the windows partition with a file manager and manipulate files, put docs from open office into "My Documents" on the windows partition. With SuSe, I chose the default installation which boots windows fine. However, 2 things different: 1-there was no /home partition created-is this weird or do I just make a folder for /Home. 2-under /mnt there is no windows partition listed. Is it somewhere else? I know its there cuz I can boot to it? Bear with us newbs Doug

But I see at http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/linuxworldny03/V33/press.cvn?id=11&p_id=12 that it won "Best Network/Server Application" as an Open Source Product. What don't I understand? Greg Freemyer

I used to get a seg fault when the machine was shut down until I recompiled the kernel and took out every option not pertaining to my machine. Let us all know what the results are Harry A.

Shrinking Windows Partitions
by James.Rocks＠equant.com 01 Feb '03

Hi, Since every install installation appears to be able to do this I wonder if anyone knows what utility in SuSE can shrink the main windows partition which occupies the whole of the first drive? James C. Rocks Equant Archway House Canary Wharf London E14 9SZ

Computer User Worldmap
by Gurkan Sengun 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

Hello I've started playing with xplanet few months ago, and seen that developer worldmap of debian[1]. Then thought why should Debian Users not have such one and started it. Later talking with Denis from www.linuxcounter.org I decided to do one for most major linux distributions as well as some other OS's, here it is[2], it'd be great if you SuSE user could be part of it too. Feel free to contact me at irc.debian.org on #debian-worldmap (nickname tarzeau).
