Re: current Linux distribution
And if you really can't bring yourself to install a linux instance to dual boot, (I understand it is sometimes a PITA), I'd suggest again you consider using cygwin. Cygwin will allow you to use, among other things, wget and md5sum, tools which windows doesn't offer much competition for in my experience.

Re: Applying a Patch
Lionel, Try using "-p1" instead of "-p0". Patch tries to take the complete path and filename in the patch file to find the file to be patched. In your case, that is linux-2.4.7/Documentation/s390/chandev.8. Since you're in the linux-2.4.7.SuSE directory, it's unlikely there's a linux-2.4.7 subdirectory there. Specifying "-p1" will cause patch to discard the linux-2.4.7 part and start looking in ./Documentation.

Most likely as someone else has said, you can delete a certain amount of stuff and still install okay. I know I can with Red Hat using Anaconda. If you can use a second VM machine, then I suggest you download the filesystem to your existing Linux/390 system where you should be able to install via NFS, FTP or HTTP. You will also benefit from getting a filesystem that has not been stuffed around. I've no idea whether the CDs you might create on W98 are actually usable. It's entirely possible that the installer will _require_ some actual symlinks, _not_ duplicated files. Should you download the files to your existing L/390 system, then you can indeed make usable CDs, but in the case of Red Hat Linux, the installer knows which CD each file is on. Getting its list in order is quite simple when you know how, but there's little chance of doing that on W98. Installing Linux on your home machine is not an entirely silly thing to do. I've seen the beta of Red Hat 8.0, and I reckon those who _can_ do all their work on Linux will not regret it if they make the move. I expect the new releases of the others will be similarly good. If replacing W98 isn't possible, scrounge a usable disk drive from anywhere you can. Depending on package selections you could require as much as 2 Gbytes for RHL 7.3. -- Cheers John.

Re: current Linux distribution
Shimon, If you've got a Windows machine at home, I would recommend installing an Intel Linux distribution on it in "dual boot" mode. (SuSE, since that seems to be the S/390 version you want to use.) Then, when you download your files, the symlinks will just be symlinks and not take up large amounts of disk space. If you don't want that kind of an adventure, I would say that you could leave out the entire KDE package, which would include the k2de1, k2de2 and k2de3 directories. You could probably not include xdev1 and xdev2. Likewise e1 and e2, unless you're an Emacs fan(atic). Or, if you ask nicely, maybe someone with a broadband connected Linux system with a CD burner will download and burn them for you. :) A snail mail address would be of help in that regard.

Mark, this looks like it assumes my downloading is done on a linux machine, which (unfortunately?) is not the case. I have been using WS-FTP on W98 (at home!) to download all of the /cd1 directory from the SuSE sles beta site, and I am almost finished it (still using non broadband modems). Something that is disturbing is that there seem to be large areas of the tree which are apparently just links to files in other areas, but I am getting them duplicated in my download. I already have far more than 650MB, and am getting worried that a 700MB CD will also not be enough. Are there any tips available regarding how to build a SuSE CDROM on a Windows system?

Well, I know what you do different from me ;-) You're in the /usr/src/linux-2.4.7 directory, and the patch refers to files called linux-2.4.7/Documentation... so there is overlap in the path. If the two linux-2.4.7* directories are equal you can go down one directory and patch from there, but in most cases you will find that the person who ran diff was using some other directory name that does not match yours. So this is where the -p1 comes in, which means one qualifier is stripped off the filename as it occurs in the patch. Rob

(yes, it's authorized, just 100% unsupported, by mgmnt). - This is backlevel, so I want to install the SuSE sles beta. - I have a budget of $0.00 (which rounds out to 0.00 Shekels) for buying CDs and/or support, so I am downloading the sles to burn onto a CD. - At work I have no access to a burner either, so I am doing all of this at home, in W98. - I have downloaded the entire /cd1 directory tree and find that all the 'link' files were downloaded as the full file, giving me a total of about 720MB of data - which I cannot fit on a CD. My question was: is there a known method to create a SuSE sles CD under W98, or, are there any pointers on how to trim the data down to .LE. 700MB (or preferably .LE. 650MB)? For example, I find what look like multiple KDE language files: 2,461,142 17/10/01 0:00 kde-i18n-es.rpm 4,599,479 17/10/01 0:00 kde-i18n-fr.rpm 1,014,120 17/10/01 0:00 kde-i18n-it.rpm 1,785,708 17/10/01 0:00 kde-i18n-nl.rpm 638,121 17/10/01 0:00 kde-i18n-pl.rpm 2,109,617 17/10/01 0:00 kde-i18n-pt.rpm 1,680,082 17/10/01 0:00 kde-i18n-ru.rpm If I have no use for Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, or Russian, is it safe to just delete them, or will they be missed? Or, is there any danger in simply deleting the 30MB /tex2 directory, apparently part of latex, if I have no use for latex? Will it be missed?

Re: Samba downloading printer drivers
Josh, Thanks, yes I had that parameter set. I was successful in getting a Windows 2000 server to upload the drivers to a working Linux printer - not via the Add Printer Wizard (APW), but by adding the Samba-defined printer (via the [printers] share). I still have to find time for testing. Because Windows doesn't find the drivers, it asks for them and copies them to \\my.samba.server\[print$]\path\W32X86 and adds them to a new directory named '2' . To get the APW working, apparently you need a script via the "addprinter command" to add the new printer to /etc/printcap and recycle the print server - perhaps a bit too magical for its own good. Are you using a script? I still need to test uploading Windows 9x drivers and using them from a 9x client. -Mike MacIsaac, IBM [EMAIL PROTECTED] (845) 433-7061
