The hardest part was make bzIamge. It took me a day or two to work
out that --ignore-errors was needed to get it to work.
If you can't get a part of the compile to go just put --ignore-
errors and see if that works. (I can just about see an SuSE
progammer frowning at me from the other end of the table).
If it goes together and you reboot and it doesn't work you can
rescue your machine with a boot disk and YaST. It's always a bit
difficult to explain this kind of problem with e-mail. Better to
stand in front of a machine and give a demo.
Hope this helps ?
