I don't use SUSE but I googled and found this:

Grub:
1. At boot, select the Linux distribution you want to boot into. When your selection is highlighted, hit the "e" key to edit the boot commands.
2. Scroll down to the kernel command and type "e" to edit it. Go to the end of that line and type the word "single" (no quotes).
3. Continue the boot. Instead of getting the GUI and X Window System windows manager, you'll get a simple little prompt that gives you full access to the system, including changing passwords.

Lilo: just type "linux single" (without the quotes) at the LILO command prompt; you'll go into single-user mode.

From here on you can login to ur root account which i think will probably work and here just change you're root password with : "passwd root" (without quotes).
Change ur root pw. And reboot to ur GUI. Try using "init 5" or "kde" if this doesn't work just user "shutdown -r now" (all without quotes). Let it boot and see what happens. From my experience you should now be able to login again with root account and from the rootaccount change the normal user accounts.

Hope that helps.

You really need to use grub and unless you have some really old systems, it should work just fine.  I'm not a windoze person at all but I have set them up before as Ricky said and it works just fine.  If you are having trouble, post your grub.conf file.  Sometimes it is easier to set them up by hand than to use one of the GUI things.   Here is a example for grub.conf and the windoze entry:

Code:

# For booting Windows NT or Windows95
title Windows NT / Windows 95 boot menu
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader  +1
# For loading DOS if Windows NT is installed
# chainload /bootsect.dos

Keep in mind that XP is just a newer version of NT.

Hope that helps.

I the the AS means application server.  I !guess! the ES is for enterprise server but I'm not sure.  It's all I can find though.

This may help with the back-up part.  It's for Gentoo but you should be able to do this with any Linux system.

I don't know of any other way to resize except the ones mentioned.

Hope that helps

This is something I have done many times.  Did you unmute the sound?  In KDE there are usually two places to unmute it.  Kmix and Alsa mixer are the two I have to adjust on.  Alsa has one for the command line too just in case you don't have/use KDE.

Hope that helps.

I have never ran into this before either.  The dial-up programs are seperate from the X server.  Actually, the ppp daemon that is in the kernel takes care of that usually.  Could this be a hardware problem?

If you can use a newer kernel, you can get one here:

http://kernel.org/

It may have the fix already in there.  I have done patches but I prefer to just get one that is fixed to begin with.

That help any?

Ummmm.  Google is so amazing:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22man+in+the+middle%22&btnG=Google+Search

Don't do anything to other peoples machine though.  It's not nice and I'm sure it is illegal.  The first link tells what it is.  

Be good now.

Oh, I also got a email that I am a caretaker, which is true, just in case you didn't know that, about the email I mean.

I think I better get off the puter for a while.  I'm confusing myself.  lol

Later, again.

Do I need to bring a rope for this hacker?  We can hang him/her pretty quick.  I'll watch.

I block some of mine with my hosts file.  Here is one line of it:

Code:

127.0.0.1    www.doubleclick.net

Anything that says go to doubleclick.net goes to 127.0.0.1 which is basically going nowhere.  Since it is done internally, usually by the kernel itself, it does it very fast even on a slower system.

I can paste mine but since we are in different countries it may not help very much.  

You can also install Mozilla, windoze or Linux version, which has adblock built in.  See a ad you want to block you just right click and then select adblock image, then select OK.  The ad should dissappear.  It will block them each time from then on.  Be carefull though.  It will block things other than ads if you tell it too.  My brother has a online game he plays and he accidentally blocked it.  You can go uner tools to unblock it though.

Hope one of those helps.

I found this little script when I was doing mine and after running it I could share my modem fine.  Just save it somewhere, /sbin or /usr/sbin, then type in sh <name if script>.

Here is the script:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
 IPTABLES='/sbin/iptables'
# Set interface values
 EXTIF='ppp0'
 INTIF1='eth1'
 INTIF2='eth2'
# enable ip forwarding in the kernel
 /bin/echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# flush rules and delete chains
 $IPTABLES -F
 $IPTABLES -X
# enable masquerading to allow LAN internet access
 $IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE
# forward LAN traffic from $INTIF1 to Internet interface $EXTIF
 $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $INTIF1 -o $EXTIF -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
# forward LAN traffic from $INTIF2 to Internet interface $EXTIF
 $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $INTIF2 -o $EXTIF -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
 #echo -e "       - Allowing access to the SSH server"
 $IPTABLES -A INPUT --protocol ssh --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
 #echo -e "       - Allowing access to the HTTP server"
 $IPTABLES -A INPUT --protocol tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
# block out all other Internet access on $EXTIF
 $IPTABLES -A INPUT -i $EXTIF -m state --state NEW,INVALID -j DROP
 $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -m state --state NEW,INVALID -j DROP

Hope that helps.  I'm no expert at this though.  I just found a script that worked for me.

You may want to see if that is a bug with xfree 4.3.0.  It may be fixed in a newer version.

That is one strange problem though.  I have never seen or heard of that one before.

This mod is clueless.

!If! I read this correctly, you are making a link to a folder, the one you made /dev/modem, and that may be the problem.

You should not put software in the /dev/folder anyway.  It is for DEVices.  I would put the software in the root folder and delete the /dev/modem folder you made and start back over again.

Note that IF above is a big one.  Long distance repairs are not easy.

I finally got to boot Mandrake.  Sorry so long.  If you click the start thing in the bottom left corner then Configuration then Mandrake Control Center.  It will ask for the root password.  That is normal.  Click The hard ware thing on the left then Hard Drake to make sure it see your network card.  You can run the configure tool in the lower right if you need to set up the card.

If it sees the card fine, then click Network & Internet then click the correct option on the right.  It will ask questions, just answer according to what you have.  If it does not work for some reason, repeat and read carefully.  You may have to try a time or two to get it right.

I only have dial-up so I haven't never set up mine like that so I hope this helps.
