Upgraded sonslinux to SuSE 8.2

I was interested in how to install Linux and yet keep an old file system. In particular I had my music files on sonslinux and wished to keep them. While installing SuSE I attempted to save the /home file system. Unfortunately when SuSE boots I get:

sonslinux:~ # fsck /home
fsck 1.28 (31-Aug-2002)
e2fsck 1.28 (31-Aug-2002)
fsck.ext3: E2fsck not compiled with HTREE support,
        but filesystem /dev/hda6 has HTREE directories.

e2fsck: Get a newer version of e2fsck!

fsck.ext3 /dev/hda6 failed (status 0x8). Run manually!

Apparenlty Mandrake used some HTREE structures on that file system. While this FS will not fsck it does mount and appears to be accessible.

Helped Yan with Clearcase problems. Investigating installing SuSE on sonslinux. SuSE appears to be more of a market leader.

Fixed long standing Clearquest bug for Yan

For a long time now it was such that Clearquest would not initially start for me. First I would get a login failed dialog and then I could select OK and login like normal. But Yan asked me to get his Clearquest working as he just got a new system. Here I didn't even get a failed login dialog but instead a dialog about establishing the connection template. I could not get this to work.

I went back to my desk and attempted to select "Set up Clearquest repository" instead of OK'ing past the initial login failed dialog and alas I could not get that to work either. So I called Rational Support.

Eventually the pointed me to here which solved both my problem and Yan's. Hopefully there will be less problems for all.
