Setting up spamc/spamd instead of spamassassin
by Nick Zentena 02 Jun '03

02 Jun '03

Spamassassin is just slowly downing Kmail like you wouldn't believe. I got spamd started but it seems spamc doesn't scan stuff. The docs seem to imply just change the line in the filter section of Kmail from spamassassin to spamc. Well that doesn't seem to work. Any hints? Thanks Nick

I tried i think TWM on my login screen to see what that would do. Please help. Now I can't seem to get back to the FVM screen to choose KDE. Don't know how to exit this thing either. On reboot it goes right back to TWM. Thanks. Thom Nuzum (in DC)

Re: [SLE] 8.2 hangs at install
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 01 Jun '03

Sounds like my problem. Just bought me a 52X drive and I have this problem. Before I start using my old cdrom 2X with its own bunch of minor problems, I would like to know if it is possible to lower the speed by using hwscan at the start of installation? The same question as with my badram. Is it possible to inform the cdrom at installation time about using a lower speed and to restrict the use of ram? I have only one memory chip and for the coming days no possibility to swap it with other chips. >Hello >I had exactly the same problem.

Court Puts Muzzle on SCO (OT)
by Curtis Rey 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

The SCO Group was dealt a legal blow Friday in its attempts to enforce what it sees as violations of its Unix intellectual property rights when a German court granted a preliminary injunction against the company. Joe Eckert, spokesman for SuSE Linux A.G., said the court has ordered SCO to stop claiming that the Linux operating system is an illegal derivative of Unix. "If SCO ignores the court's order, it faces a fine of up to 250,000 euro," he said...... http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,1113022,00.asp Cheers, Curtis.
