Hi to One and All I have just taken delivery of a Packard-Bell / NEC 3.06Ghz i power laptop. I have tried both SuSE 8.2 and Mandrake 9.1 on it so far, and SuSE 8.2 is the clear winner in terms of functions. The only things not working is the RW Burner/DVD combo drive, And of course the internal modem.There are no icons for the DVD or a CD-ROM only the burner. The burner does not function. The DVD /CD-ROM also does not work.DVD's and CD's are readable vir the -RW burner icon. The sound system works and all OSes will only go to 1024x768. It comes with win XP Home which has been shrunk to fit one or more versions of Linux. Has anyone else had any tries with this machine, and got more than SuSE working.With more functions?
The internal modem is not a real problem since the box will be tied to a network most of the time, and while i am away Internet access will not be a great priority. Gerald -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
