on my laptop (the same :-), I can't really use the cd to install. So I copy the first disk on the hard draive and install from there. ->how can Y copy _all_ the cd? is it enough to copy the cd one after the other on the same directory? ->minimal install dont go, but kde do, without questions, but I need 2Gb free... _>when I lauch yast, it sees my hard drive as _hdc_ when it has always been hda. of course all is miwed then, menu.lst and fstab, so I need to fire the rescue disk (see always hdc) and correct this by hand. 10.0 (did not think to try to install kde with 10.1, may be it works :-) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

I've had some trouble, when the same directory is being shared with samba and exported with NFS. Not sure if that's the same case that you're running into... The 2.6 kernel/NFS4 changed the way that locking is done by the NFS server, and I think that's why the changed behavior from earlier versions of SuSE...

how-to connect to Cisco Router ?
by Alexey Eremenko 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Hi all ! I'm running SUSE Linux 10.0, x86. How to connect my machine's serail (COM1) to Cisco Router using router's "console" port ? I know the cabling, and under Windows (any version) I use HyperTerminal to connect to COM1, and it works, but how to do so under SUSE Linux ? KDE Konsole, which is a terminal emulator, is capable of connecting to COM1? or I need other software ? any recommendations ? -Alexey, 02.4.2006.

pppd dialin host how-to?
by Michael W Cocke 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Possibly an obvious question, but most of what I can find on google doesn't help. Does anyone know of a decent how-to on setting up a dialin server (preferably with the calling side authentication config too).? I have to be set up for a cellular modem in about 36 hours and I haven't used dialup equipment under linux before. Dos & Win yes - I'm not hopeless - but I got into linux after I got broadband. Thanks! Mike- -- If you're not confused, you're not trying hard enough. -- Please note - Due to the intense volume of spam, we have installed site-wide spam filters at catherders.com.

password database
by Bob Schmidt 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Hi All, I'm having a problem with my computer running suse 10.0. I have it set up so that if it has been sitting for a while you need to enter your password to get back into the computer. It has been working fine for months, but all of a sudden yesterday when I went to get back on. I put in my password and it came back with a message that says "permissions on database may be to restrictive" and will not let me sign back into the computer. Any ideas? thanks, bob

Having had good occurences with a LiteON CD-ROM drive I have installed a LiteOn DVDRW and it is detected perfectly in SuSE 9.2. I haven't burnt anything yet but am sure all will be OK. Strange but true, when contacting LiteON directly, they said it was not tested under Linux and I should rater buy Windows and install it there as they have tested it on Windows. Yeh right, buy Windows, for what? :) -- ======================================================================== Hylton Conacher - Linux user # 229959 at http://counter.li.org Currently using SuSE 9.2 Professional with KDE ========================================================================

Introduction and Question
by Donald R. Bedsole 02 Apr '06

02 Apr '06

Hi, I am new to SUSE. I was using the Fedora products, but decided to give SUSE a try. I am using 10.0 and look forward to the new version when it is released. Here is my question. I do not know very much about the GPL, LGPL and how these licenses work, and I'm sure this question will reflect it. I have the evaluation version installed, and I noticed that Amarok (which is GPL) is set up by default to use the Helix engine (also GPL?) and the RealPlayer codecs (proprietary). I'm sure this is not a violation because Novell would not ship it if it were. But why is this allowable? Maybe another way to ask this is, what is acceptable when it comes to distributing and installing proprietary software on Linux and what is not acceptable?
