Scott,
Your second suggestion worked..sort of. It booted to the console, but
the only gui that would run was gnome. I typed startx kde and it could
not find kde...said it wasn't in the path. Well was enough of that and
I decided to try fc4. Having trouble with that as you can see in
another post. Still like suse the best.
Tnx for the help
Jim
