 Is there some way in which instead of hacking around with individual

 Another question: how can I change the default language,

Edit the file content. At the end you'll find a line like this:

LANGUAGE en_US

Just change it to the language you wish.


 background 
 wallpaper, etc, for a custom distro I create from SuSE?

The wallpaper is stored in the package kdebase3-SuSE. You have to modify the 
package to add the wallpaper you want and edit 
config-files/opt/kde3/share/config/SuSE/default/kdesktoprc inside 
kdebase-SuSE-9.3.tar.bz2

Other settings are also stored in kdebase3-SuSE, like the widget style, the 
window decoration or the color scheme to use.

Hi

 Bittorrent is indeed a good option, but it can't be the only one. Lots
 of us, at least here in Belgium, are on ADSL. This means that uploading
 directly affects your download speed, and that upload speed is generally
 capped at a fraction of the maximum download speed, which is 'punished'
 by the way BT works.

Have you tried wondershaper (included in SUSE)? Beside the wonder in the 
name it could help to increase upload without download speed suffer that 
much. Of course this will not kill the A in ADSL :-)

Re: [opensuse] Download issues for upcoming beta4

2005-09-01 Thread Siegbert Baude
As I never cared for servers with traffic amounts so huge as we are 
talking about here, maybe my suggestion is not viable, so simply tell me 
if I say something stupid. :-)


For me the main problem seems to be, that the mirrors don't manage to 
rsync in a fast way (that there is not enough funding for Eberhard's 
server is a problem which can't be solved technically ;-) ). Isn't it 
possible to allow the mirrors to rsync with full bandwith by traffic 
shaping or does traffic shaping simply not scale up to this level?


If the hardware doesn't allow this, maybe Eberhard should first store 
the files in a place which can only be accessed by the mirrors until 
they finished their rsyncs?




BTW, to understand the situation better: The mirrors rsync to 
ftp.gwdg.de and not to some *.novell.com or *.suse.com?
Are the mirror servers starting their rsync just a few minutes after the 
files are available or do they wait for some cron job?



Not to forget to thank all the people who invest their time (and 
servers) for this project. :-)


Ciao
Siegbert

The point is that the main problem here is not the network bandwidth but the
disk I/O resulting from the enormous size of the data.  This is similar to
your desktop machine with 512 MB memory when you open and use so many
applications at the same time that they use 3 GB if memory.  In that case the
machine starts swapping in and out memory pages resulting in a real slow
system.

[opensuse] Beta4: MD5SUM for CD5 delta missing

2005-09-01 Thread Reinhard Gimbel


Hi everyone !

Just downloaded delta ISOs of beta 4 using bittorrent.

I tried to check all the md5sum of all the deltas but failed to do so 
with CD5.


I checked file MD5SUMS of beta4 and recognized that this file does not 
contain the checksum of the CD5 delta ISO. All other checksums are 
available.


Request 1: Could one of the responsibles correct this inconsistency ?

Request 2: Could one send me the md5sum of CD5 delta ISO by PM ?

Thanks !

Best regards,
Reinhard.

Yeah ... the question is : 
Is a bittorrent only realease at first still
considered an on schedule realease   then fully
synced servers can  serve the iso's later.

Is it rude to say that people have to use BT for the
first day or two ?

 Hi List,
 
 wouldn't it maybe help to at first only release the
 isos via bittorrent and 
 add the ftp servers a few days later?
 
 That way all the I need the new version NOW people
 wouldn't rush the ftp 
 servers, bittorrent would serv up faster (those
 people usually have hight 
 bandwiths) and those people that have a bit more
 patience can download  
 conveniently from the ftp servers at a later point.
 
 The mirrors would have a bit more time to sync and
 especially gwdg wouldn't 
 suffer so much from the first onslaught...
 
 Just an Idea,
 
 Alexander

Try it and you will get md5 od CD 5 iso which is on the list. I think it is 
safe.
