Hi all, Apparently this is all over the Future newsgroups, but since I just heard about it and can't guarantee you guys have, I'll say that Linux Answers is being "unofficially" renamed to Linux Format and will be in the shops come March. I note that the March bit is on www.linuxanswers.com, the name change isn't mentioned, but www.linuxformat.co.uk redirects to the previous address.

I have in front of me single CDs from LinuxMall.com of TurboLinux 3.6, LinuxPro 5.4, SuSE Linux 6.2, Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 and Slackware 7.0. I also have RedHat 6.1 which should return to me before too long and am lead to believe that more CDs may be on their way. If you want one of these, please email me and I'll post them out. Alternatively, if ALUG5 (would 2 or 3 organisers make themselves known to the list please?) is soon, I'll bring them along.

And I must admit to being extremely impressed not only with the amount of stuff included within the package (it comes on 6 CDs plus one freebie evaluation CD making 7 CDs in total as well as a whopping huge manual), but the manual is very readable too. I've asked whether it's possible to obtain a couple of extra sets for the group, or failing that, if they're offering any discounts. I'll keep you posted. As soon as we've got the next meeting in the bag you can be sure that I'll be struggling to carry all this stuff with me!

Corel Linux - Partitioning Problem
by Justin Jonas 07 Jan '00

07 Jan '00

Maybe one of you can sort out this one I have 3 hard drives in my machine. So when I did the install I went for the manual partition option rather than the take over my hard drive option don't want to delete the wrong drive!) I have a 2gb drive I wanted to setup Corel Linux on. So for my main partition I selected 1800mb (leaving 200mb for the swap partition) but the partition manager shows it as a 900mb partition. The same thing happened with the swap partition. It seems what ever I put in as my partition size gets halved. Anyone know what's going on?

Corel Linux
by John Woodard 06 Jan '00

06 Jan '00

Just installed Corel Linux from the PC Plus CD! It took me just 20 min to install to a KDE desktop that is actually quite user friendly. After all the hype/rhetoric documented install problems, I must say that I'm pretty impressed. This is a real step in the right direction for a realistic usable desktop solution. I'm sure that now a viable alternative to MS desktop OSs is just around the corner. I won't be ditching RedHat just yet though because I'm just getting comfortable with its foibles and idiosyncrasies but if I was to recommend a distro to a complete newbie it would have to be Corel flavoured. Just my 2pence worth. Any more info on the next meet?

leafnode and slrn problems
by xsprite＠bigfoot.com 04 Jan '00

Hi, I have just installed leafnode 1.9.4 from source on a slackware 7.0 box. All went fine, but whenever I use slrn to read news slrn seems to believe that all newsgroups are new newsgroups. Hence all subscriptions are lost and a screen full of new newgroups is presented. Any ideas why? Presumably leafnode after an amount of time will no longer consider certain newsgroups to be new?
