Change Source Of Installation To Local Directory
by Ian Wilson 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Hello I have SLES 9 and I want to copy the CDs to the harddrive so that I can install new software remotely without putting the CDs in. Is there a good way to do this besides somehow copying all the rpms into one big directory because yast does not seem to pick up CD3-6 as seperate directories and cds. Also on a similar note is there a config file that contains the configuration for the yast2 installation sources. Thank You. -Ian

KMail and inline graphics displays
by Jerry Feldman 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

One of the more annoying thigs with KMail is that for each jpeg or other graphic it directs me to an external program, such as gwenview. It there a way to get it to display the graphics inline, rather than it popping up the dialog. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

RedCarpet and APT once again
by Clayton 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

OK, so I've been doing some digging to try and get RC working with the apt repositories. Of currently available services, all I can find is a very out of date service on open-carpet.org that points to ftp.gwdg.de (you can't point directly at ftp.gwdg.de with RC). So, does anyone know of a more current and up-to-date RC service that points at ftp.gwdg.de (or it's mirrors)? Or am I on my own here and have to invent my own? C.

First of all, please no top posting. * Jean-Christophe VALIERE (JCVALIERE(a)unog.ch) [20050308 12:04]: > Do you mean that to recompile glibc I need to install glibc source rpm and > gd_devel source rpm ?? No, gd.rpm and gd-devel.rpm need to be installed, *not* the .src.rpm.

Sharp Zaurus 5500 with Suse 9.2
by Paul Buede 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

I followed the instructions at http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/12/jk_zaurus_usb.html But I cannot get the Zaurus to sync with Qtopia. I have it to where I can ping it from my PC, but thats it. Anybody have this working? Also, I am using the Sharp ROM Version 2.38. I am not opposed to trying OPIE or some other open ROM, but then, how would I upgrade or change the ROM if I cannot sync with the Zaurus?
