Thank you; updating 8.2 is not an option on her p2-300 (from '98) / 256Mb / dial-up... When SUSE 10.0 came out, I tried it almost immediately and to be honest, there was simply no way to work with KDE's extreme slow speed. In contrast 8.2's KDE is surprisingly responsive, so most likely mom will get Opera 9.x and her SUSE 8.2 will be kept as long it runs (=hopefully still few/several years). KDE is also a fix point :( Pelibali Ps. Another unresolved problem with 10.0 was the poor Iomega-ZIP (FAT) write speed, which would render her main backup media to the useless category. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
