Linux

I use unison to keep my kwallet syncronized between SuSE Linux 9.3 and 10.0. Of course one can use the same /home partition for both distros, but this can cause trouble due to differences in the program versions. Thus I only share /home/user/Documents among the distros and have separate /home/user/.preference files, some of which I syncronize during shutdown.
This is the /home/user/.unison/shared_resources.prf file:

After you run the rpm command from the command line, you always should run the SuSE config command in order to update the SuSE configuration files.

Why do all hardware producers make up their own key combinations to access the BIOS? I never remember. This time it was an old DELL, that forced me to download the user manual: It is Ctrl+Alt+Enter. I needed to change the boot priority in the BIOS to enable scsi booting. Funnily grub confuses the disks and you manually have to specify the correct root(hd0,1) in the /boot/grub/menu.lst. Grub writes its guess of hard disk order to /boot/grub/device.map, but the guess was wrong in my case.
