What ? Upload what files ? I just attached a pic file to my email.
A 152K jpeg file. It's insignificant for some, very significant for others. That one file is the same as 76 2k emails. Some people are downloading via slow expensive links, not just dialup users on the sides of mountains in 3rd world countries, cell phones are hardly any better on the best devices in the most modern countries sometimes. Some people have limited available space in their mailboxes or again on cell phones. Also consider how one email multiplies on the mail list server and the various mail servers when it went out to a list of hundreds or thousands. Aside from how much that one file cost that one time, which could still be considered not too major in the grand scheme, now consider what if everyone was doing the same thing all the time. The difference between a 2k email and a 154k email is just under 8000%. That means that much more of everything, hd space, bandwith, cpu and ram for spam/virus scanning, etc. It would probably matter to you too if everyone else was doing the same thing and your own email download became that much larger, or if Novell decided mail list servers and bandwidth were too expensive to keep doing for free. It doesn't matter who you are or what the situation is, an 8000% increase in resource usage matters. -- bkw

The question is - how do I get two separate configurations ?
Please, do not upload files to the list, there are people that have to pay for what they get on email.
Instead, upload to susepaste.org and place a link here.
