Thanks for the program. I use an italian keyboard, so Shift+[/] does not work. shift+[ = é shift+] = *

Now that your point is clearer - not having keys with "{" and "}" - I think I have a better solution. First, press the Compose-key, also named Multi-key. In SuSE Linux, this is the right Ctrl-key. Do NOT keep holding down. Then type (- and you have { ! Same way: Compose -) gives }. Many other combinations are possible with the Compose key. Examples: Compose a e = æ Compose e ' = é For a Latin-1 environment, you will find them all listed in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/iso8859-1/Compose Next, it is possible to assign Compose to another key. The Windows key, for example, if you have it, has the same position as the Option key of the Mac, with which I'm also used to type special characters. To find the code of this key, try xev. It'll probably be 115. In ~/.Xmodmap you see: keycode 0x6D = Multi_key 0x6D or 109 is the code for the right Ctrl key. Change 0x6D to 115 (or 0x73, which is the same) or the code of any other key, and this key will be your new Compose-key. (Have you ever thought the Windows key would be good for something one day!!!) :-> SH -- 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

I recive this err on my server trying to use PINE to send an email ?

any IDEA ?

Sep 28 11:21:16 mail sendmail[741]: NOQUEUE: low on space (have 0,SMTP-DAEMON needs 101 in var/spool/mqueue)

It looks like you're running out of disk space. Do a df /var/spool/mqueue to see how much space you have left on the partition containing the mail queue. The best thing to do would be free up some disk space I think, or set the <smtp-server> option in the Pine config screen to be your ISPs mail server, so that you send the mail to them instead of your mail server. Clearing some disk space is probably the best idea though.

Hiya,

(I've now successfully loaded linux - suse 6.4 and lilo so that I can boot to win 98 if needed) However got a prob. confiuring SAX.

pl. help.

I downloaded the file xsvga.rpm - this is from ftp server as a patch for a prob. I have configuring SAX to identify my S3 3d graphics card. Basically I have to install this package to solve the problem.

I cannot run command rpm -Uvh xsvga.rpm as the file is in my windows drive (i.e. C:\ on slave drive - hdb1). (The file is 1.42 MB so it can't even fit on a blank floppy - had it fit on a floppy disk maybe life would be easier for linux to find it !!)

Basically i have logged in as root.

1. What do I type in at the bash prompt so that I can copy my file (which resides on c:\ on hdb1 - i.e. 1st partition on slave drive)?

mkdir /windows then add the next line to /etc/fstab /dev/hdb1 /windows vfat auto,user 0 0 then mount /windows

2. Where do I copy it to on linux i.e. do I copy it to home area /home and then run the command - rpm -Uvh xsvga.rpm

You don't even have to copy it to Linux, just cd /windows and you should be able to install just fine. The next time you have downloaded something, you will not even have to run the mount command - Linux will do that for you when it starts up. Regards Ole -- Windows: Where do you want to go today?
