First, we do not drop it. It is there, it is fully supported, you can install the system on it. We only changed the installer _default_. You can of course still select it in the istnaller. Reasons for no longer making it the default: - No active upstream maintenance. SUSE had 2 developers supporting it, one of them left SUSE. - not effectively scalable to lots of CPUs.

No problem at all - I do all installation from a local NFS server. When you boot the suse install-image (using your favourite method - CD, PXE, USB etc), you can simply specify the following kernel options: install=nfs://server/path/CD1 (for instance).

LiveCD scripts... missing (was: Re: [opensuse] chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory)
Hi all,
yes, yes... I solved the chroot() environment problems yesterday... I'm now
facing some others related to apt-get ("E: Unable to determine a suitable
packaging system type" -- this is off-topic now, I'll fire up another thread if
needed...)...
Anyway, although this email is targeted to Marcus I'd like to know if you have
the same problems as I describe below...
@ Marcus: I downloaded the PDF on LiveCDs based on SuSE from the FOSDEM site...
unfortunatelly the PDF has not been rendered correctly and the text is
grabbled. Could you please be so kind to tell Steffen Winterfeldt to regenerate
the document and update the FOSDEM site accordingly?
Furthermore, the short description on the FOSDEM site states:
[quote] This tutorial introduces the SUSE Linux LiveCD script... [/quote].
So, the PDF roughly describes the miracles and wonders that the script could do
for us but... where is it? Some .conf files are also named but no examples are
given...
In other words, IMHO it could be desireable to make a more interesting, more
complete and fully descriptive document (i.e.: provide examples, too) instead
of a "for-the-press"-presentation so the openSuSE community can benefit from
this know-how.
Please keep us posted!
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Martin

In my (limited) experience any resolvable name works as well as an numerical IP address. All the clients I have used had the ability to use either.

Re: [opensuse] Reiser Linux - FYI
As I understand it reiser-3 was abandoned by Hans in so he could work on reiser-4 only. For him, there was no return. All bug fixes would only be applied to reiser-4. The kernel people completely rejected the way reiser-4 was done and Hans was not going to change it to conform to what the kernel people required. So reiser-4 will never be in kernel. Reiser-3 will most likely be removed at some time because no one is maintaining the code. This all would have happened no matter what happened to Hans unless he reworked reiser-4.

Re: [opensuse] Is openSUSE for the common man?
One of the reasons I am using openSUSE now, is because I am also using SLES 9 at work. SLES9 seems a little dated, and I have been having a difficult time updating certain packages for it, currently Apache 2.2. I am using the "smart" package manager on SUSE 10 now (thanks!), but its website says its only tested on 10 and 10.1. It is also not in YAST on SLES9. Is there an easy to use package manager that will work with SLES9, which I believe is based on SUSE 9.1? While trying to install Apache 2.2 (so I can use it's load balancing module for ruby/rails), I ended up having to install several rpms - one of which was apparently the wrong version ( 9.3 instead of 9.1). One of the links posted here was for a repo that seemed to include 9.1 rpms, and I can probally manually install "smart" - but should it work? At work we have a SLES9 contract, but the online update didn't seem to have the latest version of Apache. As a side question, is SLES9 supposed to be up-to-date, or would they mostly just have security fixes nowadays? It has a really long lifespan, but I can't imagine they would backport all the latest packages (though it would be nice if so!). I'm kind of locked in to SLES9 for work use. I've been warned about using the wrong rpms on SLES9, which is why I'm so apprehensive about it. thanks!

[opensuse] Viewing Info Files in Konqueror
Hi, I've recently begun to get some odd behavior from Konqueror when I use it as an info file viewer. Specifically, I enter an "info:" URL (say, info:a2ps) and I see the main page, complete with links. But when I click any of those links I'm not shown the corresponding secondary page. Instead, I get an alert asking me how to handle the target of the link: Open 'info:/a2ps/Important parameters'?

[opensuse] Activating routes
Hi All! This is a pretty basic question and I am almost embarrassed to ask. I have SUSE 10.0 Pro and configured a route in /etc/sysconfig/network/routes. I have been digging through the scripts under /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts, looking for a means to activate this route without having to run "/etc/init.d/network restart". Doing that does not seem to be a problem, but it seems to be overkill. Any info is appreaciated. Regards, Jim Mohr -- --- "Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.

No...
Software is *only* text. Software is not an idea, a mechanism, or logic.
Software text is *the way* (means by which) logic, ideas, and intended
human conception is transferred to a *patentable* mechanism.
What may be patented (in my view) is the mechanism... which includes the
microprocessor hardware and its associated binary instruction set. What may
not be patented (in my view) is the software text which is used to convey
human conception to an interpreter (or compiler) for the express purpose of
generating processor instructions to manipulate the patentable processor
hardware. The software text is *never* executed... it is always read
(obliterated in the transfer) and translated for the mechanism. The mechanism
*never sees* the software text... because it is, text not machine
instructions.
This is analogous to the script produced by a playwrite. The script is
not the mechanism, the emotion, the dance, the music it must be
interpretted by the dancers, the actors, the musicians in order to come alive
in mechanism and emotion. Plays are protected by copyright. So it is with
computer software text. Software text must be translated (compiled or
interpretted in some way) in order to come alive in logic, mechanism, and
useful function. Software text may be protected (in my view) by copyright, or
better yet by copyleft.
Consider the following software text:
for (i=0; i<=9; i++) {
;
}
I intend this text to be translated into machine instructions by a
compiler or interpretter--- instructions which may or may not eventually be
executed on a real processor chip. These three lines of software text convey
the idea (human conception) of looping through a nop instruction ten times
essentially doing nothing except progressing through a loop counter. These
three lines of software text are twenty(20) symbols arranged for human
capacity by the use of white space and will *never* see the registers of a
patentable mechanism. These lines are not logic, not mechanism, not
executable, and are not patentable (in my view). These three lines are *only*
text.
I have written software text for over twenty years... most of it for
commercial application (though some for my own hobby interest). All of it
(except the machine code I produced for my Vic20) was produced through a text
editor, and some of it was produced through a word processor... like plays,
and recipes, and instructions for building a balsa wood glider. Patents are
not appropriate for text of any kind... including software.

RE: [opensuse] SLES 10 x86_64 - Permissions on password database too restrictive
Thanks, Joe, Maybe a mix-up on terminalogy used. I did restart firewall by invoking /etc/init.d/SuSEfirewall2_init restart and /etc/init.d/SuSEfirewall2_setup restart I shall have to wait until the next time the problem strikes again to see if I have nailed the problem.

The question is not what kind of bytes are in the resource retrieved, but rather how to handle them. Redhat Package Manager RPM files are usually to be downloaded, but I think Konqueror can handle them via a plug-in of some sort. RealPlayer's ".rpm" files can be handled by browser plug-ins.
