Hi I hope you will forgive me for asking, but I installled SUPER Suse and
overall I am very impressed with it. However I still want to install Suse 10
final Gold when it comes out, as I have a fairly slow internet connection
and the SuSe 10 DVD will save me some time in downloading lots of stuff.
Super is still a little bare for my tastes (not many packages) in that it
appears to be a testbed purely built for speed.
The problem is that I do very much like the speed of SUPER, so I was
wondering if there was a way to add the sources for SUPER for apt-get and/or
YAST in a standard SUSE 10.0 Gold install, so that I can then easily install
the kernel and all of the patches in the standard version of SuSe? I ask as
then I could have the best of both worlds... The great package selection of
SuSe with the fantasic speed and responsiveness of SUPER Suse.
If so how would I go about adding these sources and what exactly would I
need to do to install them?
Also it would be cool to have APT get preincluded on Super suse and set up
with some good repositories as this can be a painful experience for a new
user to have to do.
Also from reading the Super Suse web site, it says that the ATI drivers are
easy to install via YOU, but when I look in YOU it lists my CD drive as the
only avaiable software install source - and there is no ATI fglrx drivers
listed.
Please can someone tell me how I can fix this too? What is the exact
proceedure for installing the ATI fglrx drivers in Super Suse?
Lastly I have a bug report. Unfortunately Sax2 in Super Suse is broken for
me. It is also broken for at least two other people I have spoken to on a
popular internet based Linux forum. It simply will not launch at all for me.
TBH I think it would be better instead of supplying a whole new
distribution, if the SUPER Suse development team simply focused exclusively
on releasing kernels and patches and on enhancing performance and allowing
SuSe users to install these kernels and patches on their standard Suse
machines. Gentoo has a very large menu of kernels and patches that one can
install - some of which are very experimental - but so long as you warn the
user about the possible dangers of these patches, I don't really envisage
where there would be a problem.

This has to be done the Linus way - convince the Linux kernel
developers...
But what could be done is including a SUSE kernel with Con's patches
and
state clearly that this is a testing kernel, no support, no official
kernel,
use at your own risk, bla, bla, bla, ... So those who are interested
could
install it, test it and report back. I guess Linus doesn't integrate
these
patches 'cuz of stability, testing, reliability, ... issues. Not too
many
people are testing these patches or are giving back feedback.
Just an idea ;)
Sure, great idea :D. That is why I have created the rpm's now based on
Con's official patches and the SUSE kernel.
I think the issue with the Linus kernel is that it has just adopted a
whole set of schedulers and to integrate another one, might just be a
little too experimental.
The more people using the ck patches would do the trick I am sure in
getting it into the official tree.
