Subject: Ready to TRASH SuSE 6.1
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 1999 19:50:42 -0400
Hello fello Linus devotees;
After about ten days of trying to get SuSE 6.1 up and
running for some simple internet communications, I am
ready to junk this mish mash of bogus packages, lousy
support, and adfinitum. Four hours of waiting on the
SuSE help line (which is only open 11:00/5:00 on Mondays
and Thursdays resulted in a few minutes of next to worthless
help. Bill Gates does not have to lose any sleep if SuSE
is what the competition is going to be in IMHO.
My problem;
Got the entire package installed and configured to what I
thought was there. It turns out all of the Applix applications
were expired demo's that would not work and they also had
dependencys to other packages. When I removed the Applix
applications it totally screwed up Kppp.
I got KDE up and properly configured and was able to log on
to my ISP through Kppp a couple of times. Next Kppp kept
returning a message that the pppd daemon had 'died unexpectedly'.
I reloaded the ppp.rpm several times to no avail. This happened
(I think) after the bogus Applix expired demo packages were
removed. Think they must have had dependencies to Kpp somewhere??
When I finally got through to Suse's help line they said ...oh yes..
we know about this. You must get a patch on our www FTP site.
How in the hell do you get a patch if you can not log on. The
SuSE rep. then guided me through setting up 'wvdial' which will
in no way connect to my ISP (worldnet.att,net). It dials in fine
but without the CHAP and DNS values that are I had entered in
Kppp there is no way to conect to ATT without CHAP or a script.
My intent is to learn LINUX and I now need to know if there is a
commercial package available that will minimize the installation
bugaboos so that I can start learning.
I must say that the plain text version of SuSE worked flawlessly
and minicom also dialed out oK.
I appreciate all of the help you folks have given me in the last
few days but I am at the point where I am fed up with SuSE and
I'm looking for the best package that is available....at any
reasonable cost.
I picked up a limited version of CALDERA that came with a SAM's
book on learning Linux and will give this a try until I find the ultimate
package.
Thanks for any help.

To write a command's *standard* output to a file: # command > file
Both to console and a file: # command | tee file
To append it to the end of file: # command >> file
Both to console and file: # command | tee -a file
This is by no means exhaustive. Not every command writes to std-out.
Many writes certain parts of output to std-out, and other parts to
std-error (though it is not necessarily an "error message"). Since both
std-out and std-err are redirected to console by default, you will not
notice which is which while working at console. But when you redirect it
to a file, some parts may go to the file while others still go to
screen. To send std-err and std-out combined to a file, use 2>&1 at the
end. E.g. # command > file 2>&1
And please don't take my word without cross checking with "man bash".
Sometimes I lie :)
> up will also be welcome....i'm new at this
I would suggest reading "man bash" thoroughly is a near-must. It is long
and crammed with info. Read it slowly and don't skim: You will never
regret it.

Some are. It's not the PCI-ness that's the problem.
The cheap modems that aren't supported in Linux generally use the
host CPU to do the digital signal processing instead of a DSP chip
on the modem. It happens that most common PCI-resident modems use
this cost-cutting trick.

Many PC add-in products say "designed for Windows-95" because there is
a strong belief in marketing departments that they lose sales if they
don't say it. And many vendors are afraid Microsoft will hurt them if
they advertise Linux compatibility.
(3Com seems to be getting over that. Today I saw an ad for a PC Card modem
from them, claiming it worked with Linux.)
You get a very strong hint that a modem is "soft" (that is it does
not have its own DSP) if it says it requires a Pentium-class processor
of a certain speed.
A device driver that does modem DSP functions is quite compute-intensive;
a 486DX-100 probably can't do it.
A 386SX-25 can keep up with a traditional "controller-based" modem.
The win-printers really bug me. I almost bought a Xerox-P8.
Then checked the Linux Printers Database (link in the Printing-HOWTO) and
found out it's a paperweight. My buddy bought a Lexmark 3200, another
paperweight. And there is no processor-speed hint on the packaging of
either one.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have seen different things on the net regarding USR Sportster Internal
ISDN support for Linux. I was wondering if ANYONE had this working.
Currently, I have to run an NT server with Apache proxy, in order to
share my connection with the rest of my network. What I would like to
do is share the ISDN connection with the rest of the network via Linux.
I have Redhat 6.0 installed with the kernel at 2.9. I have a Compaq
10/100 Ethernet card (also seemingly unsupported-but will replace if
necessary), an old NE2000 Ethernet card, and my USR ISDN (ISA). If
anyone has any ideas on how to get the ISDN piece to work, I would
appreciate it. I have viewed everything on line (well, maybe not
everything-but as many as I could find) and the ISDN documentation, but
have not been able to get this to work.
Thanks,

Hi,
Does anybody now a performance meter for Linux that supports more than
one processor (like the ones in BeOS/WinNT). I know KDE has Ktop that
has SMP capabilties, but since I don't want to install all KDE/QT libs
I'm looking for an alternative (WindowMaker dockapp would be perfect
:)).
Any suggestions?

That really shows how young you are. Some of us were punching cards

This is your DNS and it goes in /etc/resolv.conf. You have to use and
editor and write it in there. Or you can use linuxconf and under Networking
it has DNS.
To find this information in Windows do My Computer/Dial-up Networking.
Right click on the hookup you are using ie Prodigy or whatever and select
Properties. Then pick the Server types tab, click on TCP/IP Settings and
you will see two numbers (or at least one) Primary and Secondary DNS.
In resolv.conf you write nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where this is that
number with decimal points in it. If one group of numbers is just two
digits, then just put those two in (no leading zero).
I think that is what you are referring to.

Can anyone tell me if I can add space to my "/" partition. It is
currently only 100M, but I have 2GB of unpartitioned space on my hard
drive. I would like to add some of the unused space to the / partition,
and was wondering if there was a non-destructive way to do this.
Thanks in advance,
Craig Stewart

Subject: Re: Viewing bootup messages RH 5.2
This doesn't show the services starting, as in:
starting httpd: httpd
starting syslogd: syslogd
starting atd: atd
etc...
It just shows the boot messages up to that point. I'm getting some
weird message tward the last services starting, anywhere else I can
check?
