I don't get this... I've downloaded the 5 (?) CD set of SuSE 10. It installs PERFECTLY however, the last step, the hardware thing (I forget what it is called), it quits on it and won't boot SuSE, it goes DIRECTLY into YaST and it's an endless loop... anyone else have similar install problems?
Thanks! [N]F |

I did.
I experienced this problem on Fedora Core 4 and SuSE 10. Don't know, what's so special about them  I wrote to the developers of both distributives, but none could answer me, where was the problem. The only way out we found was to reinstall it again and again, until it goes clear. Sorry man, you just have to do it  By the way, they told me that this problem occurs only on WMware, where I tried to install it. But, as I see, they where wrong  Worse for them. Talking about SuSE 10, although I like it as an desktop system, I totally don't recommend you to use it as gateway, because thier new firewall is completely creazy! I spend a week reading mans and trying to configure it properly, and only then it worked. I find ipchains, iptables or, even more, pf from OpenBSD, much more suitable. By the choice is up to you. It isn't a big problem to configure it using GUI, but it is less powerfull, and besides I always prefer textmode, so... |

Red Hat 9 won't find my ethernet adapters so I can't get online so I had to install some others and uggg.... it has been a mess. It's an i386 (Intel Pentium III 900MHz), 512 MB RAM, 40 gig hard drive. If you need any more specs, just let me know [N]F |

hmmm... it should work. I just got a 550 MHz Pentium III 128MB RAM machine working with SuSE Linux 10.0. At times like this, you should try redownloading them and before burning them check their MD5Checksum

That's another possiblity, except I also have SuSE Enterprise Server 9 RC5 that I borrowed & copied from a tech at school. It does the EXACT same thing except the first initial login causes problems. This is strange because I've installed that version on a Pentium II about 500-600 MHz 512 MB RAM and it worked fine.
Do you know of any software that will run in Windows to check the checksums? [N]F |

All CD burning software have an MD5Checksum checker. I don't recommend you running Release Candidates (RC). As they are quite unstable. Run SuSE Linux 10.0, it is stable and I don't think you need to run the server edition for your desktop.

Hello dude,
it seems u have done some mistakes during installation.. I never had a problem... do not install in graphical mode... Try using character mode only.. may be u r practiced with character based installation... i beleive by this time u have installed properly..(or shifted to some other Linux variation).. if then come back to SuSE only.... Becaause noe u get XGL .. this is nothing but provids 3d effect for your system.. When u close ur applciation it is just not simply close it diffuse.. and while switching between desktops it gives u the feel of rotating a dice.. u can set up option like seeing from outside of dice and as well as inside of dice also and obviously u can set another wallpaper on the top(virtual)..also.. while pressing alt+tab... earlier u see only few icons now compressed and transparent small image of the original application wil be displayed.. and more over window chooser are given... u have some 15 application how long u will press alt+tab combinations.. so just press Some F11 or f12 (u can configure) all the thumnails of original application will be displayed and u can just click the application whatever u want... and many more is given... only SuSE can compete to MS windows in Desktop environment.... hope u too enjoy that............  |

Im having trouble installing suse server edition 9, it starts to boot from disk, but then tells me to insert disk 1, which is already in the drive. Ive tries every Cd, and nothing is working. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
