Discussion, Suggestion and Problems with SuSE's SCPM.
Very often I have found somewhere on the Internet, just the information I needed when solving a certain problem. The Linux-Laptop website is a nice example of information I gratefully could use for my Dell Inspiron 8000.
In an attempt to return the favour, I here deliver some solutions I composed (or find particularly practical) when dealing with computers in different ways.
| Midi2Wav | Linux | Command-line tool to convert midi-files to .wav files, using the Timidity Midi converter and Player |
| auto.smb | SuSE 7.1 | A script that enables the automounter to mount SAMBA shares automagically. |
| i8k | SuSE 7.3 | A script that can be installed in /etc/rc.d to allow automatically starting of the i8k module and monitor. |
| reboot | Dos | An assembler routine that when compiled (18 byte), will reboot the computer. |
| debug-routine | Dos | A batch-file that will produce a reboot.com (requires dos-executable debug.exe in path). |
| partimage-0.6.2.spec partimage-0.6.3-beta13.spec |
SuSE Linux 8.2 | A .spec file (required to build .rpm and .src.rpm) usable on SuSE Linux 8.2 (might work on other rpm-based systems). Check out http://rikers.org/rpmbook/ on how to compose a .spec file. First get source as partimage-0.6.2.tar.bz2 and deposit it in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES/. execute $ rpm -ba partimage-0.6.2.specto compose partimage-0.6.2-1.rpm |
| Belkin 7010 | Linux Suse 9.0 | step-by-step instructions on how to activate the Belkin F5D7010 PCMCIA Wireless adaptor. |
