Wine and Adobe Illustrator (can't find AIRes.dll)

Adobe Illustrator didn't want to start up under wine, because it couldn't find the file AI90Res.dll. This file is located after the Illustrator install in:

~/.cxoffice/dotwine/fake_windows/Program Files/Adobe/Illustrator 10/Support Files/Contents/Windows/System

I just moved it up one directory and everything started working.

Staden 1.4 and Suse 9

I installed today the new Staden package (version 1.4) to my Suse 9. I included the lines:

export STADENROOT=/usr/local/staden-linux-rel-1-4 . $STADENROOT/staden.profile

in my ~/.bashrc file.
After this kprinter broke with the following error:

kprinter: /usr/local/staden-linux-rel-1-4/lib/linux-binaries/libstdc++.so.5: no version information available (required by /opt/kde3/lib/kprinter.so)

Formating an mounting an external firewire reiserfs disk

I didn't know how to format an unformatted drive under Linux. I attached a firewire case with an old 12 GB Macintosh-formatted HD to my computer. In order to format it with reiserfs, I used Yast2. I had to go to expert mode and rewrite the partition table. By this action Yast2 puts an entry into the fstab, that I modified to:

/dev/sda1 /media/firewire reiserfs noauto,user 0 0

since I don't want to have it connected every time I boot up. Instead I can now mount it as a regular user manually with:

mount /media/tmp/
