If you patch SuSe 8.2 you'll really need to know what you're doing to get it up to par. The reason for this is it is not the most recent version of SuSe and you'll have to install updated...

You want it as

kcmshell 'fileshare'

kcm in the above command stands for KDE Control Module. It's built in to the KDE desktop...so you bet it is a generic command.

The problem is most likely with your monitor. You'll need to find out what the specifics are for your monitor (horizontal and verticle settings) and input those manually into your XFree86 file. The...

Did you download an rpm or compile it from source?

You should try one of the Live CD's available out there. The following 2 I'm listing are just as good or better than Linspire. They allow you to try Linux without installing anything at all to your...

I use MEPIS Linux...which automounts every single drive to my desktop :P

There are actually easier ways to setup a DNS server...bind is just the most accepted and most popular.

What distro did you finally decide on?

What sound card do you have? You'll need to find out what sound card you have and what module it will need to run.

Then go into /etc/modules.conf and uncomment the line for your sound module. ...

Or..you could use Gag (http://gag.sourceforge.net/) to boot into either operating system.

You can change the MAC address with something like the following command:

ifconfig eth0 hw ether AA:FF:EE:00:00:00

It could be a bios setting as well. Turn off any force updates from your BIOS and also enable plug and play OS on it as well. This will force it to NOT try to install it before the OS does.

Port 110 is for pop3 (post office protocol). That's an entirely different cup o tea than postfix. Postfix is just an alternative client to sendmail which uses SMTP (server message transfer protocol)...

Don't know if you've ever come to a conclusion on this...I know the solution...it's in my notes...but notes at a different terminal than I'm able to get to right now. I'll give this resolution if...

At the boot: prompt, type linux rescue. You are then asked to chose an installation method.

I usually use a shoe horn, some baby oil, and a really big mallet. :p

I was wondering that myself. I didn't mean to start a war :cry:

I rate it like this...and of course, who am I? But, if you hadn't mentioned the ISO stuff and DOD STD I wouldn't have known about them either...so who are they? It really gets into a semantic...

Simply put...I use Macro$haft so I don't get held responsible for defamation. Plus, that's exactly what I feel I'm getting every time I boot up on WinXP...the shaft. The thing that gets me is the...
