Re: [Wlug] memory

http://www.thechipmerchant.com/19610-0.html Stop yer moaning! ;-) Memory is still well below the 1/mb mark we thought was insanely low 1 and 1/2 years ago. I thought for sure it would spike above that level by now given some of the Dramurai's willingness to close factories. It may very well, yet... I will look through my parts bin for you though :). -Adam On Mon, 25 Feb 2002, Gregory Avedissian wrote: > Since we were just on the subject of hardware, I was wondering if anyone had > any PC133 memory that they wanted to part with.

memory

by Gregory Avedissian

Since we were just on the subject of hardware, I was wondering if anyone had any PC133 memory that they wanted to part with. I have a new box that's half built and would like 256MB, but I'd settle for 64 just to get it going. I'm stalling on the memory, hoping the price will come back down. (it doubled right after christmas). Thanks. Greg

The RPM program is packaged just like any other application, and hence you would upgrade it just like you would any other package on your system. First, go to SuSE's website at ftp://ftp.suse.com and get the rpm.rpm file for the version of RPM that you seek. It can be found in this directory: ftp://ftp.suse/com/pub/suse/i386/7.X/suse/a1 where X = 0, 1, 2, or 3 and I am assuming an Intel architecture (i386) FYI: SuSE 7.0 uses rpm version 3.0.4 SuSE 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3 all use rpm version 3.0.6 Then, try this as root: rpm --version (to see your current version) rpm -Uvh rpm.rpm rpm --version (to see new version) Also, to see the version contained in a package without actually installing it, try this: rpm -qpi rpm.rpm Hope this helps, Andy > > _______________________________________________ > Wlug mailing list > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org

Success! Re: [Wlug] printer still sick

by Bill Mills-Curran

Frank, I don't know precisely what fixed -- much whacking (not even hacking) going on... but I did end up rebooting the W98 box. Finally, nmblookup started working. Thanks, Bill
