Hi, you have to be carefull with kernel which is included?!
I have the same machine with 7.3 running for about 2 months. There is a bug in the tcp/ip stack. So you have to download a newer version. Using the kernel included the tcp/ip stack crashes every 2-3 days and the machine has to be rebooted...

I've installed SuSE 7.1 on a Sparcstation 5 with a 1xCDROM and 128M... no problems. Limited to 256 colors (8bit) and I used IceWM instead of KDE (used an import utility to move the KDE menus to IceWM) for speed. > > Thanx in advance!!! > > -- Michael. > > __________________________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
