A: S.u.S.E. linux <=3D 5.3 is a libc5 based distribution. S.u.S.E. 5.3 added support for glibc2 binaries, and beginning with S.u.S.E. 6.0, expected during the '98-'99 holiday season, S.u.S.E. is making the move to glibc2. Q: Is there an Alpha-specific version of the S.u.S.E. linux distribution? A: After S.u.S.E. 6.0 for x86 is final, the work will begin on porting S.u.S.E. linux to the Alpha platform. Q: After installation, every time I reboot, YaST starts again saying that there are scripts it has to run. What's the deal? A: After S.u.S.E. linux has finished installing, it needs to run some scripts to set up perl, your man page directories, etc.. Depending on the speed of your system this can take anywhere from a couple minutes to considerably longer. If you reboot before the process is finished, it will start again at your next boot, ad infinitum, until the process is allowed to complete itself. You can watch the progress of this process on tty9 (press alt+F9), and when the scripts have finished running, then you can safely reboot and begin using S.u.S.E. linux.=09 Q: I set up my printer in YaST, but when I print something, it isn't in the traditional letter format. How do I change this? A: In /etc/apsfilterrc, change the value of line number 249 to 1n. Q: Why does S.u.S.E. ship with such an old gcc? A: gcc-2.7.2.1 is known to properly compile 2.0.x kernels. When S.u.S.E. switches to glibc2 with S.u.S.E. 6.0, it is expected that egcs will be the default c compiler included with S.u.S.E. linux, although gcc-2.7.2.x may be included for kernel compilation. This depends on egcs, which is in active development, and may or may not be suitable for compiling 2.0.x kernels at the time of S.u.S.E. 6.0's release.=09 --=20 .###. =20 /#######\## -=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D- ;##### ;# Mike's WindowMaker ;##### ;# <= A HREF=3D"http://tasteslikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.htmlhttp://tastesl= ikechicken.ml.org/windowmaker.html> \# /## -=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D- ###'---'#### - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e --===============0523930283863874183==-- From grimmer@suse.de Fri Aug 14 15:34:44 1998 From: grimmer@suse.de To: users@lists.opensuse.org Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] Mailing list FAQ Date: Fri, 14 Aug 1998 17:34:44 +0200 Message-ID: In-Reply-To: <35D45397.AC3EDDDC@home.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============6519840371716436912==" --===============6519840371716436912== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, On Fri, 14 Aug 1998, Michael Lankton wrote: > Bodo,=20 > If you want to create a mailing list faq, here are some contributions: Thanks for putting these together :) It was me, not Bodo, who volunteered to do so.

Ummh, this is not quite correct (would imply a long time after i386 6.0). In fact, porting to the Alpha platform is done in parallel with the development of the 6.0 release. I'm quite confident the Alpha port will be available quite shortly after the release of i386 6.0. -o) Hubert /\\ _\_v - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e --===============3193140229865008323==-- From rwilliams@jrcmaui.com Fri Aug 14 19:18:27 1998 From: rwilliams@jrcmaui.com To: users@lists.opensuse.org Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] Mailing list FAQ Date: Fri, 14 Aug 1998 09:18:27 -1000 Message-ID: <35D48D83.CA5DD392@jrcmaui.com> In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============6166191694967401087==" --===============6166191694967401087== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable How about a web page?
