Install from HD?

Hi, is there any possibility to burn only one (or a boot-iso?) of the 4 iso-images on a cd, and install suse, the other iso-images mounted on loopback-devices so that i don't have to burn all of them? I don't know, if that's really possible. I read someone on the german suse-linux - mailinglist mentioning, that he did it with the SuSE-beta-ISOs (must have been a beta-tester), but i don't find the thread anymore. Considering, that there will be Delta-isos soon, so that we have to burn the 4 CDs again, to update our system, it might be useful, to think of something like that. Greets Soeren, still downloading the first isos PS: sorry for my bad english...

[SLE] Just installed 9.3 and having some problems with video card and monitor -- any ideas?

** Reply to message from Stan Glasoe <srglasoe(a)comcast.net> on Mon, 15 Aug 2005 19:36:41 -0500 (snips) > So at each reboot, as "SUSE LINUX 9.3" is highlighted you will enter: > > 3 apm=on acpi=off noapic Note: I did NOT enter the above command at **each** reboot. I assumed (??) that was a typo. I only entered it for the initial test! I entered this command, then logged in as root, then entered lspci. I got a bunch of lines (approx. 14) and the last one referenced GeForce FX 5500. So I'm assuming (??) that the video card is seen. It shows: 0000:02:0a.0 VGA compatible controller: nvidia corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5500] (rev a1) Then I entered sax2 -p and I got two lines of text as follows: chip 0 is -> inteli845 00:02:0 0x8086 0x2562 PCI i810 chip 1 is -> nVidia GeForce FX 5500 02:10:0 0x10de 0x0326 AGP nv So I assume (??) this means sax2 can see the card. Then I entered sax2 -l to see if sax2 can configure the card and got the same error message (abort). :o( > and go from there.

There is no reset button on my e-Machine. So each time I powered-down the machine using the power button. Then I rebooted the machine and went through each of the following commands. Please note again that I did NOT enter the command line above AND the lines below. Rather, after each command failed I entered the next command as a stand-alone instruction. After entering each command I then logged in a root, then typed "lspci" and each time I got the same 14 lines referenced above. I then entered "sax2 -p" and got the same 2 lines referenced above. I then entered "sax2 -l" and got the same error message as always (abort). > 3 apm=off acpi=noirq noapic > 3 apm=off acpi=oldboot noapic > 3 apm=off acpi=off lapic > 3 apm=off acpi=noirq lapic > 3 apm=off acpi=oldboot lapic > 3 apm=off acpi=off nolapic > 3 apm=off acpi=noirq nolapic > 3 apm=off acpi=oldboot nolapic > > From here on out we need to get creative. What's next, coach?? :o) Gil

I don't understand what you are saying 2. I made a mistake - I posted the original adsl file I got from my friend here but I actually edited 8.35 to 0.32 before running pppd call adsl. Is this mistake what you were point out? Thanks. -- Shriramana Sharma http://samvit.org

RE: [SLE] Solution: Compiling SSH from ssh.org on Pro 9.3
by Napp, Julie A. 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

They might take away my sysadmin card for this one... Turns out I was issuing the "make install" as myself, and ssh-signer2 needs to be setuid root to function properly. A quick chown and chmod and all is now right with the world. ----- Julie > -----Original Message----- > From: Ken Schneider [mailto:suse-list@bout-tyme.net] > Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 9:59 AM > To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com > Subject: RE: [SLE] Compiling SSH from ssh.org on Pro 9.3 > > On Wed, 2005-08-10 at 09:06 -0400, Napp, Julie A. wrote: > > SuSE comes with OpenSSH, and we use the version from SSH.org > > on everything else in the dept.

Re: Network card recommendation

Gnu-Raiz wrote: > Cpu nic usage is a little moot, with dual core chips, Well, I have seen the following. Pentium-III 1ghz with 3com nic, maxing the CPU under heavy network (100mbit) load such as copying stuff over samba/nfs. AthlonXP 2ghz (2400+) with marvel gigabit controller, copying files to another marvel gigabit chip (both on ASUS boards, the target machine being an Athlon64 3200+ 2.2ghz), also maxing the CPU on both ends, and getting only about 15MB/s. SUSE running on the Athlon, Gentoo on the Athlon64. Yes, dual cores would help, but if you actually need your CPU to do some heavy lifting on your server, you want it not to be bothered with a network card (or multiple cards) offloading. Hans

Modem Driver Suse 9.3 on IBM T42 laptop
by Bruce Samhaber 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

Hi, I have Suse 9.3 on an IBM T42 laptop but the modem does not work. Suse support directed me to www.linuxant.com www.linux-laptop.net . The www.linuxant.com does not support this modem but did provide the following ID information MODEM #1: PCI CONFIGURATION INFORMATION READ: VENDOR ID : 8086 DEVICE ID : 24C6 SUBVENDOR ID : 1014 SUBDEVICE ID : 0559 REVISION ID : 01 DEDUCED INFORMATION: VENDOR NAME : UNKNOWN DEVICE NAME : UNKNOWN SUBVENDOR NAME : UNKNOWN MODEM TYPE : HSF WINXP INBUILD SUPPORT : NO The www.linux-laptop.net had a listing with the same modem 82801DB/DBL/DBM and referred to the slmodem web link but it says it si not tested. Does anyone know of a supported driver for the 82801DB/DBL/DBM modem? Thanks,

mplayer error in SUSE 9.3
by Paul Cartwright 16 Aug '05

16 Aug '05

when I start a vcd in mplayer, it hesitates, opens the movie, and gives me an error box with an OK button. The error message is: ioctl dif1: Invalid Arguement the movie plays just fine, but every time I open a movie I get this error. Is there some way to get rid of the error message, or what else can I do? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 X-Request-PGP: http://home.comcast.net/~p.cartwright/wsb/key.asc
