Greetings! I have two SuSE 6.3 machines that I logged in from my Windows machine using Putty, a SSL-client. One machine displays YAST in color (default) and looks horrible because the color background doesn't fill-in properly. I just noticed that the other machine is now displaying YAST in monochrome (black & white) and looks perfect. I'm puzzled since this machine used to display YAST in color, and I'm not sure what caused this to happen. I would like the other machine to display YAST in monochrome. Any ideas on what I need to do for a monochrome YAST? Thanks!

Hi, I'm quite new to Linux so forgive me if this question seems ignorant. I have an internal IDE100 zip drive which works fine under Linux but I have been unable to install any kind of zip tools and get them to work. I seems that they only want to work with SCSI devices. Now I know you can compile linux to emulate IDE devices as SCSI so the software will work but all the information on this subject either doesn't make much sense of doesn't work. Therefore could someone point me in the direction of either some software that will work with IDE drives or the information to emulate IDE as scsi. I am running SuSE 6.4 at work and 7 at home and I am having the same problems on both. regards Matthew -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

IIRC, SuSE had a ziptools package once? I think I saw it in 6.2 (never
used it though)

whereis ziptool /usr/bin/ziptool The man pages are there too! I have an external 100M Iomega Zip drive, but never used the ziptool. What is it supposed to do? JLK On Saturday 28 October 2000 06:28, Don Hansford wrote:

"What does it do?" Duh! The instant after I replied with that question I remembered man (I've been using Linux 3 years now, and rarely use man any more) and read that ziptool will do an eject, add or remove read-only, or add or remove password proctection to a zip disk. I use the eject button for ejection. It won't work if the disk is mounted, so that tells me to umount. I've never used password or ro protection, but I now know what to use if I need them. This SuSE email list is a great educational forum! JLK On Saturday 28 October 2000 06:28, Don Hansford wrote:

You *just* demonstrated the latter by answering my unasked question. ;-) I didn't think of using man either. I thought "what the heck is it good for? My drive workes without any other tools." (As you stated as well). continueing to have a lot of fun...

Unfortunately this is illustrates the problem all the ziptools I find including the one bundled with Suse is for SCSI only and I have never got the IDE - SCSI emulation to work. -----Original Message----- From: juergen.braukmann@ruhr-west.de [mailto:juergen.braukmann@ruhr-west.de] Sent: 28 October 2000 07:48 To: SuSE Linux English Subject: Re: [SLE] IDE Ziptools Jerry L Kreps wrote:

If you start up YaST with the parameter "-m", it will start up in monochrome. It will also remember this setting in file /var/lib/YaST/install.inf (Variable: "Monochrome:"). If you want to but it back to color, just edit this file an change this value to zero.
