Having spent endless hours and hundreds of dollars trying to get Suse Linux Pro 7.3 working, I have finally conceded defeat. In my opinion Linux is still a very long way from being an OS for the mainstream user. Some (or many) may say that my defeat is due to my own ignorance and/or stupidity. That may or may not be true, but I can no longer afford the time or apply the mental gymnastics needed to work out the cryptic keyboard incantations to make Linux a useable OS. Before I sign off from this list and slip back into the not-so-comfortable arms of M$, could someone tell me how to repartition the HDD where I had installed Linux, so that I can reformat it for FAT32. Running M$'s fdisk from a bootable floppy fails when the HDD has been formatted for Linux. Thanks & Regards Dave Barton --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
