Hello I need to convert suse 10 dvd dl to 2 dvd sl is possible to be done? thanks

Yes

Wow, impressive! \Steve

I downloaded SuSE 10.0 and installed it on a partition of my Dell Inspiron 1200 running XP, Suse sets on 17GB and is very happy, I can access the net via Wired LAN to a D-Link Wireless Router. I bought a Dell 1350 WNIC with the computer and on the SuSE HCL it does not support Dell WNIC's. I have installed ndicwrapper and it is not working, I have installed kwifimanageran still nothing. I am running KDE desktop. Has anyone got a Dell 1350 to run or should I just go buy a WNIC that is listed in the HCL???? Thanks- Gregory D. Watts 931-498-4341\Cell931-260-0414 http://www.tasana.biz

Running SUSE 10.0 on Dell Inspiron 1200, sometimes my curser will jump to a new location on the screen, only happens with touchpad, not when have optical connected, any ideas?

I have this occasionally with a Logitech optical mouse, but it happens under 8.2, 9.3, and 10.0 . I assumed it was a hardware problem (ie. the surface I use instead of a mouse pad). Peter Taylor

Audio Visual programs? That's your choice. Spyware protection? You really only need that with SpyGlass(MS IE). OK, I'm being a wiseguy. No. In general you do not need these kinds of protections. You should try to understand the Unix file system, and the concept of user permissions. Glance at the man page for chmod. If your eyes go crossed, and it all seems like gibberish from mid 1980's documentation, that's because it is. The system works, and it works well. Don't login as root, and everything should be fine. I'm sure there are other pointers people can add, but basically, Linux is secure because the developers of Unix and thence Linux were not stupid about the degree to which they were willing to cut corners for the sake of user convenience.

"DOn't log in as root znd everything should be fine" Ok this is now an issue, for some reason during install I got to the update part duing install, it downloaded tons of stuff, this is listed before setting up users, after it got done downloading it rebooted before going to the next step, when it came back up I got the login screen, since I had set up no users I was stumped, then I put in root for user and the root password and I was in, so I get from this I need to fix this. Do I go into YaST>users and create a user? On Wednesday 16 November 2005 12:51 am, Steven T Hatton wrote:

And the first time posting here I can tell. Otherwise you would not have hijacked a thread... That's a no no around here.

You don't need to protect suse much. Spyware is pretty much un heard of in the Linux world. There are only one or two known worms that can infect Linux, and they need your help to do so. SuSE, unlike some other distros installs quite securely. It has almost everything turned off by default. So Don't turn anything you don't need on, such as Imapd or ftpd or any other services you don't want. Choose good passwords, because there are a few people trying dictionary attacks against ssh servers. General advice: If you have a firewall device, use it. If not, use SuSE's. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Unless you're running SuSE (ha!) as root, you should have little to fear. I wrote up a little blurb on this on my site.

It was quite fun a few months ago at work. While some virus was running rampant on several thousand of our workstations and dozens of servers, my laptop and a few of my SLES servers were sitting happy and unaffected.

About the only time you need AV in Linux is when you're running a mail or file server for Windows users. Even then, it's for their protection, not yours.

I thought so. If I hadn't posted the entire script to do it within the last two weeks, I would have added more. The archives will tell all.
