Doe anyone know of a Suse 9.1 mirror that is still up? I have a kernel, 2.6.5-7.257-smp, x86_64, and I'd like to update to see if it corrects a problem with gzip which is only able to zip up to 2.0 Gb before giving the following error; "6910 file limit exceeded".
You can work around the 2GB problem with gzip by compressing as a stream instead of a file. e.g., instead of: gzip myBigFile do: cat myBigFile | gzip -c > myBigFile.gz rm myBigFile i remember having to do that on an older Suse version (don't remember which one). Also, make sure you're on a filesystem which supports files >2GB. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W. Watts
