How to enable IPV6FORWARDING on SuSE 8.0 Prof ???? The internal network on eth3 uses IPv6 and can communicate to all other IPv6 on this LAN, The external network on eth0 is IPv6 enabled and can communicate to the world. .... just from inside I cannot reach the world ... (I had it working under 7.3, but with 8.0 it got lost) bye Ronald -- Ronald Wiplinger (CEO of ELMIT) http://www.elmit.com +886 (0) 915 653-452 - I'm a SpamCon Foundation Member, #694, Verify it at http://www.spamcon.org PS: Spam prevention!

Has anyone used this card with SuSE Linux, and if so, i'd like to hear your thoughts on the card itself, and performance (i'm thinking of getting one for a machine we are going to be building). -Bill

RE: [SLE] next suse version, any rumors, any clues...
by Alleman, Lowell 01 Feb '03

I've had moderate success using Eudora (version 5, I think?) with wine. It's been a while... I seem to remember that there were a few specific things that would not work correctly under Wine, but it defiantly seemed to be useable. Unfortunately, I don't remember what those those 'things' were... Not that this has anything to do with the next release of SuSE.... Sorry. I'd like to know that myself. I have a coworker who is going to be buying a copy of SuSE soon.... I hate buying a boxed version just to find out that a new version will be out in a few weeks... - Lowell -----Original Message----- From: Doug McGarrett [mailto:dougmack@i-2000.com] Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2003 9:25 PM To: p_s; suse-linux-e(a)suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] next suse version, any rumors, any clues... For sure, there will be a new issue around June or July. That's the way they do it. Then another around November, or so. I just wish that they'd put out the fires and produce a super-stable easy to use distro, with NO bugs. I like SuSE, I think it is just as stable as RedHat, it costs a lot less, and it favors KDE, rather than the ugly Gnome. But they always have to do something to the distro, and always break something. Unfortunately, none of the distros have Eudora, so here I sit on MSWIN doing this. --doug At 21:13 01/29/2003 +0200, p_s wrote: >I am currently running 8.0 pro on my both boxes and I have an itch to >get newer version, but I am bit confused wiht current 8.1.. have hear >lots of good and bad critisism about it..

How to uprade from 7.3 to 8.1
by Robert Pollard 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

Hello all, I have been looking at the ftp site at SuSE and can't determine the files to download and how to do it. Do I have to compile the kernel or is there a binary that is available. I do have an Athlon AMD 1800+ processor. If I need to recompile the kernel to take advantage of it that would be quite alright. Where do I get started? I need the files to download to totally upgrade the system and how to do it. Thanks, Robert Pollard

DHCP (again) - Let's start from scratch
by Ricardo 01 Feb '03

01 Feb '03

OK, I am still having problems connecting to my on campus network. Contraty to what I thoug, the problem wasn't fixed before. Let's start from scratch. My NIC is a 3Com pcmcia. I set it up with Yast, it recognized it by itslef. How can I check that it is actually running? I have been playing with the dchp settings and I am not sure if I am missing something. I am using the dhcpcd client. If I run "ifconfig" I get an "inet addr: xx.xx.x.xx", which I understand is my IP address but I am not able to browse the net. What settings should I check?, what are the defualts settings for the SuSE.config? dhcp server is from the other OS provider. Ricardo. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [SLE] Desktop Linux Event Continues to Lose Support
by Quinlan, Grant 01 Feb '03

I'm diverging from the original thread a little here, but I just couldn't resist the urge to editorialize a little: I didn't follow the Desktop Linux Event with much interest. It was never advertised as something that looked useful for me in particular. Insofar as the conference got out the message that Linux is great alternative to Windows I think that it is great. I use Linux and develop for Linux and many other OS's at work but had never gotten my wife to agree to put it on our home computers until now. A few months ago when we got a new laptop for my wife to use, with all the latest tools that Bill Gates was selling for home users pre-installed (XP and more), she got a look the "Microsoft End User License Agreement" and asked me about it. We went through it and discussed the implications of the all the legalese embedded in the EULA that she was required to agree to before using any of these new Microsoft tools. Of course any intelligent entity would refuse to agree to such a contract, so I started looking at the latest Linux releases geared towards non-technical home users. I took a very close look at Lindows and it appears to be a really great solution for the casual, non-technical, home user who wants easy access to email, IM, word processing, photo albums, recipe files, and other common home applications. I like the concept and the marketing approach they are using. My daughter is working on a degree in graphic design and needed support for tools and 3D hardware that Lindows did not seem to be very well suited for, and I of course already was quite familiar with SuSE 7.4 and wanted some of the compilers, tools, and services that I use at work and Lindows was not well suited for those either, so we skipped Lindows and went with SuSE 8.1 Professional on our home computers. There is a huge market for Lindows, and I could recommend the pre-installed Lindows computers from Wal-Mart to my parents or anyone else who is looking for a minimal basic system for use at home or a small office. Developers, hackers, large corporate users, dedicated gamers and audio/video nuts should be looking at SuSE or RedHat however, not Lindows. Of course in the future Lindows may become better suited for some of those large corporate deployments and other uses, and I think that would be great. There has never been anything at the FSF or in the GNU GPL that says that it is a bad thing to be successful and make a ton of money while freeing people from bondage to ridiculous copyright and patent laws and overpriced proprietary applications - even if the personality doing it seems to be unusually obnoxious or overbearing at times. Lindows is certainly does not have any kind of a monopoly on Linux, and I expect that if anyone at RedHat and SuSE has any sense then it never will. Anything that gets Linux some attention is a good thing. Any hype about problems will motivate the community to fix those problems. The proprietary vendors are the ones who fear and try to ignore and hide problems. The worst thing that could happen to the Linux community would be no attention at all.
