How to Mount
1. Create a mount-point. Often this is a subdirectory of "/mnt".
For example, "mkdir /mnt/foo".
2. Mount the device on the m

Hi there,

no problem at all, should be similar to doing the same from linux to

With things on a bit of a role I'm now attempting to install Thunderbird...
I downloaded MozillaThunderbird-0.8-4.1.i586.rpm and right clicked to select

The install seemed to go without a hitch and the Thunderbird icon duly
appeared next to my other E-mail clients.

Hi Guys
I don't know if this is an open-enough-source question to ask here, so
if you tell me to get lost, I'll try to understand...
I've just got a Powerbook, OS X, freeBSD, you know the drill. I'd like
to be able to print from it to our reception Laserjet 2100 which is
connected via Parallel

problem:
I think that is the same problem I encountered when I tried to use YOU for

When you run the Yast tool, you enter the root password. This is different
from logging on as root, which it is my understanding is a bad idea and not
needed anyway. You can run a terminal as root from a normal terminal by
typing su and then entering the root password when prompted. Or you could

The library exists file:/var/lib/
Ralph, I was having almost the identical problem 11 days ago (17/9/2004).
Do you keep clug emails? Subject was "yast".
I discovered that my /var/lib/YaST2/you/youservers didn't exist, though
could rectify this by copying it from another machine I have that also runs
Suse and then things ran OK.

There there, I'm all offended! (No it can't be because I'm just about

I second that. I just got a Powerbook, and have stuck with Firefox and
Thunderbird on OS X, cos they're just great. Plus, it was easier to
copy my Thunderbird profile from PC to Mac, and have my mail all just
appear, than to have to try import it into mac mail.

The ones of the late 5.5.x are a lot(!) better, the 6.x ones are
rumoured to have been rearranged and the options tidied up. If it works
it would be a big plus.
