I installed SuSE 6.0 on Sunday. The installation aborted while writing the kernel. Did not have time to recover. I did that tonight. Went back to install the base system, and things went well. I was not able to get SaX to configure my X Server, but XF86Setup worked fine. I installed KDE and other window managers. I like KDE, but I have other configured. One problem I have is network. I have Mediaone set up on my eth1 card, and my local set up on eth0. I have tried a few combinations. The dhclient script specifies $NETDEV_0 (from rc.config). I tried setting up eth0 assocated with the _1 and eth1 associated with the _0 definitions. So far, that is not working. I can manually set the interfaces up. I did manual ifconfigs, and I was able to ping external sites, so the problem is just getting it right with SuSE's scripts. (I would prefer keeping things as standard as possible, but I can certainly modify the scripts do do what I want. One complaint I have with KDE is that it does not list Xemacs or Emacs in any of its menus, but that's easy enough to add. +------------------------------------------------------+ | Gerald Feldman <gaf at blu.org> | | Boston Computer Solutions and Consulting | | ICQ#156300 | | +------------------------------------------------------+ - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
