Jim, I don't know that I would saddle a new user with 10.1 just yet. If SuSE will supply a new CD ISO that includes the updater fixes, then I might reconsider. There are other problems too, but of course, the updater has gotten more chatter. That's not to say 10.1 is bad, far from it, but with the problems present in the opensuse downloads, if that is what you got or the boxed set of CDs, I wouldn't want a new user to experience that. Again, if SuSE will supply us a new ISO of the CD with the fixed files, then your install will go smoothly and updating should be much better. I've been installing new apps from the internet for a long time with SuSE. I don't think this idea is exclusive with Red Hat. ;o) regards, Lee --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
