[opensuse] 10.2 install problem
Yesterday I installed 10.2 and everything went very smooth, no problems with anything except finding the correct mplayerplug-in, but that has nothing to do with the system install. Today I got greedy, decided that my mom didn't need a 60GB drive for her "mostly network" operations, so I pulled that drive and stuck in a 20GB hdd today and have yet to get a clean install. I suspect that the 20GB drive has hardware problems (bad sectors?) that plays havoc with the installation. The point is that if I had tried to install 10.2 on the 20GB drive first, I would think that 10.2 sucked big time. Maybe some of the troubles I read in this forum have similar foundations. My 2 cents worth. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You could always toss it into a working system, back up what needs to be backed up, and do an exhaustive (ie read/write) media check using badblocks. -- The best way to accelerate a computer running Windows is at 9.81 m/s² -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
