Suse update
It took some attempts but the latest OpenSUSE DVD has been downloded – by using Diana, in batch; it took just over 5 hours but the DVD image came in complete, using a mirror in the UK. So no more downloads – in this scale – from German universities!
Next copied the image to Aphrodite and burned it on platsic (well, sort of) and started the installation on Iona, as a new one. It had be be finished the next morning because installation takes more than two hours, I added a few things to be installed. It looks like DHCP still doesn’t do a proper job, I couldn’t access the network….After reboot, the screen went black and stayed that way, so I simply shut the box off.
Other developments
On the web: The pictures of our trip to Scotland have been finished, I just have to get out some typo’s. It’s 566 images all together, so there’s a lot to screen. If published, it will be in the new structure, and gradually I;ll move over the other ones as well, but with the other issues (like OpenSUSE…) it’s a longer way to go.
Once in a while, attempt are be made to push files on the anonymous FTP site. had one yesterday:

%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 26-JUL-2007 15:35:30.32 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user TCPIP$FTP on DIANA
User Name: anonymous
Source: p5B05FD47.dip.t-dialin.net
Status: NOPRIV -- File access violation
Object: WEB_DISK2:[public.anonymous.070726163527p]

but the FTP logs are no longer copied to the operator web so I cannot look into it at the moment.
