ILUG-BOM Wiki!
by Anurag 14 Nov '05

14 Nov '05

Ilugbom wiki has been installed on server and is accessible via: http://www.ilug-bom.org.in/wiki I've just made couple of template topics which can be changed later. List members may use this as a good medium to share information about availability of GNULinux CDs. PS: There's also a mozilla theme available, selectable from user preferences page. We may make it default if members desire so. Anurag -- http://bsd.miki.eu.org/roller/page/anurag __ __ gnu /noo/ n. Ox like antelope; (abbr.) /gnoo/ n. (recursive acronym) Gnu's Not Unix.

Small problem in SUSE 10
by Aniket 12 Nov '05

12 Nov '05

This is my first submission to this list. Please forgive for any mistakes. I have been using linux for the past 2 years.(First installed distro FC2) I have recently installed SUSE 10 along with Fedora 4(which was previously present).I chose not to install GRUB during SUSE install and am using the GRUB of Fedora to boot Win xp ,fedora as well as SUSE.All works fine in SUSE except that the display quality is very bad. I get a resolution of 1024x768 after adding "vga=0x317" as kernel parameter while booting SUSE .But when i scroll up or down in webpages or konqueror filebrowser th scrolling is not smooth. Can anyone help me to find out what is wrong.There in no such problem in Fedora 4 which i am using since 4 months....My graphics card is S3ProSavage DDR onboard. Everything else works fine in SUSE .Also 1 more thing....I cant start SAX2 from anywhere ,neither command prompt in runlevel 3 or from yast in runlevel 5.plzz help LINUX GURUS!!!! Apart from this, I think SUSE 10 is the ideal distro to get any newbie hooked onto linux as it has a gui for almost all tasks using YAST(I myself was hooked on to linux since i first used the SUSE 9.1 Live CD.) A newbie from windows worls always wants to have a gui. -- The Future is Open...The Future is LINUX

This does not help Linux to grow. If Linux was limited to uber-geeks writing c, perl and maybe assembly codes, we wouldnt have this list... lot of you would have never seen Linux. In this case, the person asking the question has also done some research, and is asking a very valid question. If you are tempted to write RTFM/Google to some query.. I'd suggest you don't respond at all.. If you cannot help, the next best thing to do is to "NOT offend"... and its not difficult..

> Subject: [ILUG-BOM] [commercial] Computer Books for Sale If nothing else, there are some pretty good deals on this LUG. Last deal got me a C64 for free :) Thanks to Mr.Trevor The prices seem ok.. Only question is where are you located in Bombay if at all.. My 2 cents.. This can be set into an unstated rule. I see too many mails saying I need so and so. I'm in Mumbai. Bombay is a big place so if you are specific I need "ABC" and I'm located in Andheri, it'll help both parties AFAIK explicit mail IDs in mails could be abused. Thanks for posting Akshay Gishu

There is a reverse look up there. :) ^^ Now instead of all the interested readers playing treasure hunt with his phone number, wouldn't it be simpler for the poster to just state it?
