OpenSUSE.
=Comment: #4=================================================
PAVAN NAREGUNDI -
Yes. I can see the menu items listed in above comment in SLES11 and opensuse
11.1. But not in
opensuse11.2 factory build.
===========================================================
Novell,
Please review why OpenSUSE 11.2 does not provide the option to load ppc
modules before installing.
Thanks!
