[opensuse] How I installed OSS 10.3 to USB external HD for my Toshiba Laptop
Hello to All, After many hours of frustration, I was able to install openSuSE 10.3 to a USB drive for my Toshiba Laptop. I had followed the information on the Wiki to no avail, it would never boot. So here's how I got it to work for me. First, I don't know if you will have the same challenge or success. LAPTOP - Toshiba A135-S4427, 1.73 Ghz Centrino Core Duo CPU (T2250), 1 GB RAM, 120 GB SATA internal HD SuperMulti DVD, 15.4 TruBrite widescreen, Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG network card. Vista Home Prem pre-installed. USB - 60 GB WD IDE Drive 1. I entered SETUP and disabled the internal SATA drive (Shift + 1) 2. Used 32 bit 10.3 GM DVD (downloaded) to install the software to the USB drive 3. Set the bootloader to /boot (not /root as was in the Wiki instructions)(and not to MBR of USB drive) 4. Completed the initial phase installation and when reboot, told it to Boot from Harddrive 5. It booted the USB drive flawlessly and completed the installation 6. Rebooted without DVD, it again booted the USB drive (sata still disable) 7. Entered setup and enabled the internal SATA drive (Shift + 1) 8. Rebooted and chose each drive to test for booting and all works. What I should note is that I choose the OS to boot by hitting F12 at the boot up prompt and then select which drive I want to boot. Works flawlessly. Then only issues I have are that the Intel 82801 sound card does not work, but works with OSS 10.3 Live CD so I have to work on that.

Re: [opensuse] Best CPU for OSS 10.3 Small Home Network Server
-- Original message -- From: Rui Santos [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, You should really consider Anders advice. If your MB/CPU are in good condition, and your RAM is enough, your should consider only increasing the number of disks ( should upgrade to SATA ) and build your system on a soft RAID device. The HD will serve you on a future upgrade but, if you need to acquire RAM, then you should put your money in a new machine. Currently I own a P4 1.7 and I'm not considering upgrading... It has SuSE9.3 with 512MB of RAM and 4-40GB HD with a soft RAID-5. I use it for apache, mysql, subversion, mail-server, firewall, ntp, dhcp, router, Samba PDC, bind, ftp-server, cups server, hylafax, Xvnc for azureus with java and BOINC 24/7. But, since you wanted an advice on a motherboard, pick either a chipset with sava-nv out Intel WITH (WITH) AHCI. Also go for a PCI Express board instead of an PCI/AGP one.

I'm assuming that you're not going to use this as a compute server ... something that you submit computationally intensive tasks to from other machines. On that assumption, to maximize your benefit/cost ratio, you want to use as cheap a CPU as you can find (because even slow CPU's are thousands of times faster than the fastest disk drives), and lots of memory. Further improvement comes from having lots of small (in today's world) disk drives instead of one huge disk ... many disks = more track-seeks that can be performed simultaneously. Don't buy into the propaganda that CPU speed is the primary determinant of system performance...and that a server needs the fastest thing out there. File serving is NOT a CPU intensive task, and printing is a task which CAN BE CPU intensive but is also feeding to a tediously slow physical deviceand no CPU in the world is going to speed up your printer. -- Keith Boykin You are what you think - so always think positively! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm sorry.

[opensuse] Rt61 module issues under 10.3
Hello, I had challenges with my RT61 based PCI card working with 10.3 out of the box. The card was seen but despite any setup, my wireless didn't work. So I found a site where it showed how to remove the rt61pci module that ships with 10.3 and install the CVS version from the Ralink Website. With a simple issue of rcnetwork restart, it worked instantly. However when I rebooted, all was lost. I found that rt61pci was still being loaded, despite modprobe -r rt1pci and modprobe rt61. I put alias wlan0 rt61 in /etc/modprobe.conf.local but it still did the same. So now, if I have to reboot (Dual Boot machine), I have to do this sequence to get the wireless back: 1. modprobe -r rt61 2. modprobe -r rt61pci 3. modprobe rt61 If I do this it works. Where is and can I remove the rt61pci module or disable it so only the rt61 gets loaded.

I have a home brew machine that has a on-board Realtek NIC (disabled), a P4 3.2 GHz process, nVidia Le-6200 PCI card, 2 G of ram, and I added a RT61-based wireless PCI nic. 10.3 can see the card, assigns it to wlan0 and I can set all the parameters (IP, WEP, ESSID, etc) and iwconfig show them all to be correct. However, I cannot get onto the internet nor the local homenet. The card can ping itself, but nothing else on the network. I found a firmware for it and it was installed to /lib/firmware, but no joy.

In this same machine, I have OSS 10.2 and followed the links to set this up as ra0 from the ralinktech support site and it works. (I am sending this email now from10.2 machine). Has anyone gotten ralink RT61 to work under OSS 10.3 RC1? Thanks in advance. Keith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse] 64bit gone sour, downgrade to 32bit, how?
Hello All, The title kinda sez it all. I installed openSuSE 64 bit on a homebrew with a 3.2 GHz P4 ECS P4M800PRO-M MB with 2 GB of ram, 80 G SATA drive. It was installed as dualboot witth Vista Home premium. I have used SuSE since 6.4 off and on and used it heavily from 7.1 to 9.3. Then work forced me back to learn WinXP Pro and now Vista. I have installed 10.0, 10.2 on other machines prior to installing 10.2 default on this box. Originally I was using the on-board Realtek NIC, wired. I rarely used 10.2 and it sailed along effortless. I moved to a new residence and had to go wireless. My researched suggested RaLink RT2561 as compatible with both Linux and Vista, so I bought a card based on that chipset. Vista worked right away. It took some time to get it working under Linux. Then on Friday, I decided to try Linspire 2.0 LiveCD which failed on this box. Every since then the RaLink wireless PCI appears removed to the Linux network under 10.2. If I run lspci -v the card is there, so it is seen by the kernel. I decided to go with driverloader and it helps but no cigar. A long story to ask this simple question. I want to go back to 32 bit. How? Wipe it clean and start from scratch, realizing I still will have the Ralink PCI card (RT61), and can the 64bit be downgraded to 32 bit? Much help appreciated. If this has already been answered in a thread somewhere, please forgive me. Thanks in advance, --Keith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Why you think that doing the non-sense of switching back to 32 bit will fix your problem ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Nowhere did I state I thought it would solve my problem. I am going back to 32 bit for a better chance at future drivers. The question was how and could I go back from my present install. I have had better luck with32 bit SuSE in the past. --Keith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [opensuse] 64bit gone sour, downgrade to 32bit, how?
Thanks, since I don't have much to loose, I agree, go back to clean install of 32 bit. I know I can use atheros card without problem. I already have a box with a card based on it. I choose the ralink for reported 64 bit usage. Thanks, --Keith -- Original message -- From: joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] 64-bit installs are great for generic server roles, on largish hardware. For desktop use, or any situation where you need to worry about 3rd party software or drivers, linux/32 is the way to go, based on my education in the school of hard knocks. There's no easy way to convert a 64-bit install to 32-bit. Just save off the important stuff somewhere, and do a clean install. You're much more likely to have success resolving any driver issues on the 32-bit install. Joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All, The title kinda sez it all.

That's just not true! The only case where a 64 bit Linux can be a problem is when you need to use a binary only driver and the manufacturer doesn't supply it. My experience shows that open source drivers are mostly just as bad or good on a 32 bit Linux as they are on a 64 bit one. So if a driver doesn't work under 64 bit Linux chances are very low it'll suddenly start to work as a 32 bit version. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks to all who responded so far. I really want to try 64 bit again in the future. I dont know enough about it to tell the difference right now. I don't run a lot of media apps or high graphics apps. BTW, i re-installed - ran make, make install for the RT61- one more time and it came back. Something was suddenly interfering with it. I am now responding o this email under 10.2 using the ralink card so Phillip appears to be right. I am just no sure if down the road, I will encounter issues. I know everyone has an opinion, so let's not go there. I just think I want to go back to 32 bit, as most of my experience has been with it. I am not a techie by training, I am a physician, so I'm not as savvy as most. Again, thanks to all. --Keith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] Toshiba A135-S4427 Laptop
Hello List, I just ordered this laptop. Of course, it's preloaded w/Vista and other bloatware. Any issues getting OS 10.2 installed? I have use SuSE since version 6.4 and am very familiar with many flavors of Linux, although I consider myself a casual user. I didn't think of 10.2 under after I hit submit on the order form. Hopefully, there will be no issue. Thanks. Hope I haven't wasted any bandwidth. --Keith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
