Depends on how interested we as list members are in the list itself. I would hazzard a guess that most of us have mail going back for a month or so. In that case we as members could troll the trash and see who was on and is not now. The trash would always have their 'HOME' address on it, also would the mailer have a list of who was originally subbed or was this lost too ? We could also (again) put a very bold notice on the steps main page.

Re: replacing win98
Hi Keith, I do have a 2nd cd writer which VMware fails to see on initial installation. I set it up as a scsi cdrom device and I can read from it, but have yet not tried to write to it. Since I use gcombust, etc, it is a lower priority for me and I haven't searched the website or asked them about support for it. Also, I get no sound. But I really don't need it for those things yet. I want to set up a win98 version for my son to use his educational software with, and that will need sound. I'll let you know when I get to that point. I also have problems with /dev/lp0, so for now I am using Samba to print, but I eventually want to understand why it can't connect to that port. Again, even with these limitations, the fact that it runs without booting into a specialized kernel is a plus to me. Not that I have time to roll my own, but I want to be able to play without having to worry that I can't run my critical window's apps. Hope this helps Keith Antoine wrote: On Saturday 17 November 2001 03:20, Susan Macchia enunciated: I would highly recommend VMware. I just installed SuSE 7.3 (really slick by the way - I am real happy w/ it) and am evaluating VMware 3.0. I have found that it is a really slick product; easy to configure and set up. Its performance is pretty good (its running on a pentium II 400 mhz with 384MB of RAM). Installation of the OS and any optional software is kind of slow, but other than that it is like a real small machine on the desktop. I've been recently using it to test my Samba configuration (so I don't have to kick my kids off they're win2k box). I installed it with win2k. It runs like a champ and I don't have to boot into a specialized kernel (like with Win4Lin). Hi Suuzz g Just want to talk a bit re Vmware and your config. Do you have the second, usually writer being seen by vmware ? Have you heard if a burner can operate in vmware as I have to burn my vcd's in nero on windows. I have managed to get quicktime, shockwave and many other plugins working on linux using codeweavers crossover. Nice to play the trailers form the apple site natively online at last. So I do not have the use for windows much now since the release of SO6, but I do need to use Flaskmpeg and TMPGEnc. As I only got my version 3.0 rego numbers today I have not had a chance to try these in vmware but am sure they will be very slow converting mpegs. = _ Susan Macchia mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _ - Running Linux - because life is too short for reboots... __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: New Kernel, Now No Text Console, SuSE 7.3
Jason Joines wrote: I compiled a 2.4.10 kernel from kernel.org source with XFS filesystem patches from SGI. When I boot the machine, I get the graphical chooser that allows me pick a kernel to boot. If I boot the 2.4.10 SuSE kernel, all works as expected. If I boot the 2.4.10 XFS kernel, output to the monitor disappears just as soon as I select that kernel. Everything is still running as I can SSH into the box, run X apps, backup software, mount XFS filesystems, etc. I can't seem to find any errors in the logs. If I start X, it runs like normal on vt07 but there is nothing on any of the other vt's. Any ideas? Jason Joines Yeah. Stick with 2.4.10 if it does the job for you. --- ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

I'm curious as to what type of VMW disk you built and whether you had to format it. I was using 2.0.4 and had one of their special 'plain' disks and I don't ever recall having to partition or format it. It was 4GB in size. Now, moving to 3.0, I built a new 'virtual' disk of 4.4GB and had to partition and format it before it was visible to VMW. Didn't think that would be necessary. But I was blown away by being able to run Partition Magic (virtually) to partition it. Worked flawlessly by booting the PM diskettes. -- ++ + Bruce S.

As for sound, I get broken or non in Mandrake 8.1, get sound in Suse but on reboot it looses it and I haver to reinstall in linux then is sees it on boot it might say its busy. not real worried here about either. I also have problems with /dev/lp0, so for now I am using Samba to print, but I eventually want to understand why it can't connect to that port. again i am not worried but it says its busy because lp0 is occupied by the linux printcap.

Yes, its fine as can and do run what I need from windows which is getting less and less.
