[opensuse] Old DEC fanatics
by Greg Freemyer 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

I think there are a couple of die-hard DEC users on here. I just saw that AdvFS has been opensourced. http://advfs.sourceforge.net/ I haven't used it in close to 10 years, but I used to think that was a great filesystem. If this gets ported to Linux, it will be one more true enterprise class FS for linux. Nice to see them still coming.

Getting out of windows and into suse lets you have access to console so you can run the ifconfig command. There is probably a way to do that in windows, but I don't know how as I am not particularly knowledgeable about windows. So I am accommodating my lack of knowledge by using this method.

I want to add some shortcuts to KDE4 Menu but when I click on save it just keeps going through a sick endless loop of updating system configuration . It hits 100% and then repeats and repeats and repeats and...... Any one else have this problem or know how to fix it? -- Michael S.

[opensuse] Installer boot process
by Bruce Ferrell 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

I've been installing 11.0 on a Dell 1950 using PXE. I've found that I have problems with anything other than the 64 bit kernel/initrd and that's no big deal, but I find myself very curious about how it get's from init/linuxrc to the graphical installer. Can anyone point me at the linuxrc source and/or a write up on how the whole process works? Thanks in advance -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

by A. den Oudsten 05 Jul '08

I burned several times with K3B openSUSE 11.0-DVD-i386.iso directly, as suggested in K3B, but I can't startup on that disks. On my Laptop, an Acer 5314, I can't even open the disk to see if anything on it. Suggestions how to proceed are hartely welcome!!!

Then the problem you have to solve is why "dhcp" does not get an IP. /etc/sysconfig/network/{something}: DHCLIENT_WAIT_AT_BOOT="5" change that as appropiate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you, Carlos. Changed the wait-time to 65 seconds and still the mounts nor ntp were done. Maybe I am barking up the wrong tree. Where in the boot process does mounting take place?
