Install from Boot Floppies
by Andy Coleman 06 Jun '05

06 Jun '05

I'm trying to install 9.2 on an older machine that doesn't have a cdrom drive so I downloaded the floppy boot disks and module disks from the suse ftp site. In ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.2 I only see bootdisk1 bootdisk2 and bootdisk3 Every time I try to install I get to a certain point that asks me for bootdisk4. I've tried 1, 2, and 3 at this point and also the module disks to no avail. I googled and found absolutely nothing helpful. Has anyone seen this silliness?

by Mike Béla 04 Jun '05

04 Jun '05

The SuSEPlugger and SuSEWatcher services can be easily deactivated in KDE sessions, but not in GNOME (SuSE 9.3). The new GNOME login automatically starts these services. What scripts should be edited to deactivate them?

tg3 Drivers for Broadcom Network Cards on Dell 2650 and 6650 Servers.
by Ben Higginbottom 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

Hello all, Has anyone had any recent issues with the tg3 driver on the hardware of either of these servers (all running various revisions of the 2.4 kernel). specifically with auto negotiation and crashes caused by it. Or is the bcm5700 driver still the better option? Alternatively am I better off ripping out the cards and sticking in something that uses the e1000 driver. Thanks, Ben

cable modem
by James F. Pirtle 03 Jun '05

03 Jun '05

Hello List; My SuSE 9.1 thinks it is on a 56K dial up modem. It is really hooked up to Warner Cable's Road Runner service. Any suggestion on the best way to get the correct setup? The current modem is a Toshiba PCX 1000 and there is a Linksys cable DSL router between the box and the modem. Not married to either piece of equipment and could change if necessary. Thanks in advance. -- "God bless us everyone."
