Q
11. I cannot get my CD out of the drive. What should I do now?
First, unmount the CD with the
umount
command. More information about
this can be found in umount on page 275. In KDE, just right-click the CD-
ROM icon and select ‘Unmount Drive’. If YaST is running on your com-
puter, exit it.

14. Do I need to be afraid of a virus in Linux?
In Linux, there have been no serious viruses found. Also, viruses cannot
cause any serious damage if they are not activated by root. The only virus
scanners available in Linux search e-mails for Windows viruses (if Linux
is used as a router or server). Nevertheless, you should back up important
data and configurations.

15. Do I need to compile a kernel myself?
No, this is usually unnecessary. The kernel has become so large that there
are about eight hundred options to consider during the configuration. Be-
cause it is almost impossible to master all possible configurations and their
effects, it is strongly discouraged for inexperienced users to recompile the
kernel. Do so only at your own risk. In cases of custom compiled kernels,
SUSE cannot provide any installation support.

16. Where can I see the system messages?
In a terminal window, enter
tail -f /var/log/messages
as
root
. Ad-
ditional interesting programs relating to this one are
top
,
procinfo
, and
xosview
. Use the command
less /var/log/boot.msg
to view the boot
messages.
17. I cannot log in to my computer with
telnet
. I always get the answer Lo-
gin incorrect.
You are probably trying to log in as
root
. For security reasons, this is not
possible via telnet by default. With YaST, set up a normal user account. Log
