I am being forced to give Caldera eServer 3.1.1 away as a bad choice. I have installed it innumerable times with various settings but it will NOT install my printer as a usb_printer, parallel yes usb no; I cannot get networking with vmware although all other distros are fine both with the printer and vmware. Being a server it should not have a problem with vmware bnut it does. Printer is an Epson 760, this is the first time I have had problems withit.
I have been unable to compile and install kernel 2.4.18, however 2.4.17 works ok: 18 says that it cannot VFS: cannot open root device "hdc7" or 16.07. Grub menu.lst has identical entries for 17 and 18 just the differing numbers. It probably works fine just as a server and no recompiling or playing with software, but most users expect more today for their bucks. I am going to try the WS 3.1.1 and see if that will allow the install of printer and vmware networking. Frustration is setting in so its about time I bit the bullet. I am not totally happy with any distro these days as I was with Calder up to 2.4, so it will be a compromise. -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
