I finally took you advice and installed the KDE version of Opensuse 10.3, but I ended up with the same problems. I can't seem to get any further advice from the mail-list, so I have installed Ubuntu instead. It seems simpler to install, but it seems many details have to be worked out post-installation whereas Opensuse puts most of the configuration details out front for the installer to decide. I'll keep my Opensuse discs and try them later on another machine. Gene -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
