Well I successfully installed SUSE 9.1 on a test laptop via ftp and the jetstreamgames realm.
I am quite impressed so far but I am currently frustrated at work because I have not yet found a way to do the online updates (YOU - Yast Online Updates) without getting a 407 proxy authentication error. I have followed the advice below to no avail. Any idea anyone? The YaST2 Online Update (YOU) needs a direct connection to the Internet. If you connect via a proxy, this must be configured first: * Open /etc/wgetrc with an editor of your choice. * Enter this line: * http_proxy = http://your_proxy:port/ your_proxy stands for the name of your proxy machine and port is the port number to which the proxy listens on the proxy machine. In case you need to authenticate against your proxy, insert user name and password in /etc/wgetrc, too: proxy_user=user proxy_passwd=password Regards, Robert -----Original Message----- From: Robert Fisher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 29 June 2004 8:03 p.m. To: CLUG Subject: Re: SUSE demonstration, and procmail On Tue, 2004-06-29 at 18:57, Volker Kuhlmann wrote: > .

Ethernet cable unplugged for a while - rest of family not happy with being on jetstreamgames realm at the moment - will resume later.
