Until then chill - and think of the weeks you would have spent getting windows to do the same upgrade!
I don't think a comparison to Windows is relevant. Much more relevant is a comparison to previous versions of SuSE. We lost capability with 8.0 which was present in previous versions. And as I posted before, I wasn't able to install 8.0 at all on a particular machine where 7.3 went in just fine. It happens that this was my first attempt at an 8.0 installation. One of the strengths of SuSE was that while YaST was a very capable tool, it didn't have to be perfect. It could have bugs and you could still get around them because you had enough tools to fix problems, one way or another. With 8.0, that's history. If the installation program is broken for your system, not only do you not have an alternative, but you don't have any way to deal with it. -- David Benfell, LCP benfell@parts-unknown.org --- Resume available at http://www.parts-unknown.org/resume.html
