It makes sense to me, tasks are just swapped out completely before swapping out memory pages; it is a raw partition, no drivers involved: just ideal. In fact, when restoring, some memory pages are not swapped back in, they stay off for days.

Samsung Yepp YP-T7Z on SuSE 9.2
by Marc Christensen 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

Hi all, I just purchased a Samsung Yepp YP-T7Z 1GB flash MSP/OGG player which I'm very happy with. Ahem...The tuner works great but I would like to get my ogg collection onto the player and I don't have windows at home. http://product.samsung.com/cgi-bin/nabc/product/b2c_product_detail.jsp?prod… So, from what I understand, the player should appear as a USB mass storage device with some folders inside for music, pictures, etc. to which I should be able to copy my music. The problem is that when I connect the player to the USB hub on my SuSE 9.2 box (with all available updates), the machine cranks away for about ten seconds before it stops and then I click on "My Computer" where nothing shows up. This behavior is unlike my 64MB USB flash drive that I use which shows up perfectly and unlike my 60GB USB harddisk which also works fine in this system. So, what's up? Anyone else seeing this behavior? Anyone else using a Samsung player with Linux? Thanks. -- Marc Christensen http://www.mecworks.com http://blog.mecworks.com http://gallery.mecworks.com

Re: [SLE] Failed Install On Dell L933r
by Adam Vazquez Kb2Jpd 02 Aug '05

hi there james. Start with the second disk and boot or at the bootup of the first disk tell it to start in text mode. Do the install in text mode and when you go to the SaX2 portion of the install, it will do a approximate best guess to get you into a graphical screen. Later on, you can google the dell and linux install and you can find the proper setting for everything else. Good luck and hope your brother in law gets it.

Siebel Clients for Linux
by Ben Higginbottom 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

Hello All, Does anyone know of a Siebel client for Linux, my current attempts at getting the thin client to work with IE under both Wine (25th Jul) and Crossover 4.2 have so far failed without even a spectacle. The thin client seems to use some ActiveX component which I had hoped Crossover would work around, and although it installs, whenever I try to access the sight it crashes. Whether this is the fault of the browser or Siebel I cannot be sure :) Many Thanks, Ben

Samba - LDAP - local
by Anders Norrbring 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

Would it be possible to run Samba3 with the LDAP backend, and still (somehow) use the 'net groupmap' function to map ntgroups to the local groups (like users, nogroup, games etc) or can I ONLY use groups in the LDAP database for group mapping? If it's doable, how should I do? -- Anders Norrbring Norrbring Consulting

SLES9: Need an assist getting sub/virtual interface going
by Bruce Ferrell 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

Hi all, I can configure a virtual interface on SLES9 using ifconfig, but obviously that won't survive a re-boot. Virtual interfaces configured in yast either do not activate at boot time or completely stop network configuration from working. Anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

So, Yahiaoui, you need to boot in Rescue Mode, and do this: mount /dev/hdaX /mnt chroot /mnt joe /etc/fstab Change hda with hdb and viceversa exit umount /mnt
