Specifically, has your default PS1 prompt behavior changed? How about
the sourcing of your private .bashrc? Do you have your default shell
set to /bin/sh?
Just curious if anyone else is having issues.

Hi Lionel,
I run a local update server and pull the updates down with YUP. We've never
had any of our servers register themselves with Novell (not even sure they
have firewall access even). I know this doesn't really help you in your
current situation, but it might be an option for you in the fu

Or perhaps a better question is "How did you get /etc to *mount*?"
As I recall the install programs will not allow /etc to be a mounted file
system. This makes some sense as the file
Run that script from inittab during runlevels 0 and 6 after the

I've been tinkering around with this and everything works well except
that it won't unmount /etc during shutdown since it's in use by the "rc"
script(s) when boot.localfs runs. And since /etc i

Then you shouldn't be using the zypper command at all. Use "rug sa" instead.

I used yup-232-2.2.noarch.rpm and made a slight change to the script to get

I know the answer will be "It depends.", but I figure I might as well ask

We're in the process of migrating Websphere workloads from AIX to zLinux and
figure we will need to add additional IFLs and memory. But, rather than
simply boosting the existing VM LPARs, we're wondering if it would
