Hi guys, I'm trying to update openSSL on my SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8.0. My current version is 0.9.6a, I have downloaded 0.9.7d from openssl.org I'm trying to compile using ./Configure, nothing happens, I tried ./Configure linux-pentium again stuff scrolls on the screen but it does not update openssl. Any advise will be very useful. Thanks Fareed

SciLab Doc
by Maura Edelweiss Monville 04 May '04

04 May '04

I would greatly appreciate some help at finding some good documantation on SciLab especially the data fitting features. Most of web sites I've been suggested as containing plenty of worked out examples cannot be found by any browser. I'm not necessarily hooked on SciLab. Any similar tool that provides a broad suite of different fitting methods (not just the Least Squared ...) will make me happy. Thank you in advance. MEM

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 OK, I've got *MOST* of the install problems with my new 9.0 system worked out. Right now, when I boot up the system, it doesn't give me a login prompt. The computer *IS* on a home network - and even if it weren't, I wouldn't want anyone who picked up my laptop to be able to get into it. I'm sure there's a way to get the kdm login screen at startup, but darned if I see it.

cannot open root device
by John Wilkes 04 May '04

04 May '04

My SuSE 8.2 system won't boot, giving the error message: VFS: Cannot open root device "hda3" on 03:03" Booting with the CD or a 7.3 system on another drive, I can mount /dev/hda3 and it looks fine. Everything except the boot partition (hda1) is reiser, and it seems to be finding the boot partition. I tried "boot=/dev/hda3" with the same result. A power failure took the system down. It has been running for over a year and has rebooted successfully many times. I did not change anything recently. (i.e. no new kernel, etc.) The hda3 partition is certainly there, as I can mount it if I boot 7.3 system, but I don't really have any experience with reiser filesystems, so I don't know what to do. I ran fsck.reiserfs (or whatever its name is) off of the intallation CD. It did consistency checks in read-only mode and did not complain about anything. I'm stumped.

Can anyone recommend a good USA reseller for SuSE Linux Open Exchange Server? We just want the licensing and the SuSE maintenance; we don't need anything else. Off-list replies are OK on this one...
