Hi Guys -- Since SuSE has turned out to cause such a problem for the gEDA Suite Install CD, I have decided to take one of my spare machines and load it up with SuSE 9.3 to create a test platform for this and future versions of the gEDA CD.
I am trying to download SuSE 9.3 from the Novell site, but it is very slow going and I am not sure I will get a complete, flawless download as quickly as I would like. [1] Also, I would like to get a copy of exactly the same distro which seems to fail for people. (I assume it's the free download version from the website, but perhaps the corporate users are using a "physical media" edition?) Therefore, I would very much appreciate it if somebody reading this list could send me a spare SuSE 9.3 install CD set. Ideally, it should be the same install set as was used when creating a system on which the gEDA CD fails. Perhaps one of the corporate users has some duplicate disks laying around? I probably won't return the CD (unless you are located close to me), so don't send me any disks you need. Also, if you do mail me disks, I won't reimburse you -- please consider it a "donation" to the cause. Mailing CDs is cheap anyway, and supporting free software is worth a couple of bucks, right? :-) Finally, I probably won't get around to doing the testing for a couple of weeks due to more pressing activities, but I will certainly get to it within the month. Therefore, please don't expect instant results. If you're still game to donate a SuSE CD set to "the cause" even under these conditions, please e-mail me at sdb (__AT__) cloud9 (__DOT__) net and I will supply you with my mailing addr. Thank you in advance for your support and kindness, and thanks for helping out with gEDA!!! Stuart [1] I am doing the d/l at my day job, and our Internet link can be very slow. Also, I suspect that Novell has the connection on their end throttled back so that it's not too easy to get a free CD.
