It arrived today! (SuSE 6.3)
by Martyn Drake 11 Jan '00

11 Jan '00

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!

I'm about to receive a free copy of SuSE 6.3 in the post for the group.

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?

Corel Linux is on the February PC Plus cover CD It is very nice from what I have seen of it. It's very much aimed at the new Linux user.

Insecure $ENV{CDPATH}
by Martyn Drake 06 Jan '00

Does anybody know what to do when you start recieving Insecure $ENV{CDPATH} when trying to open a file, and subsequently can't set any environment variables in bash? Scratching me head on this one :) Regards, Martyn -- Martyn Drake - ICQ: #55962636 Using The Bat! 1.38e under Windows NT 4.0 Build 1381 Service Pack 6 Systems Administrator, NetDirect Internet Ltd NetDirect Internet -> http://www.netdirect.net.uk NetDirect Online -> http://www.ndo.com [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]
